The Humanity and Divinity of Christ: A Study of Pattern in Christology

by John Knox Sr.

Book Overview

Christ's manhood is a problem central to Christology. Professor Knox considers the several attitudes towards Christ's humanity adopted by the Early Church. In so doing, he outlines and clarifies contemporary understanding of the significance of Christ himself.

Professor Knox proposes and defends a method of understanding the structure of New Testament Christology as a whole, whereby a pattern of development is discerned, and discusses ways in which modern Christians should consider the humanity of Christ. By this reasoning the meaning and relevance of the pattern of Christology outlined in the first part is continued up to the present day.

This clear account of a complex subject is designed both for the scholar and the thoughtful layman.

An Insightful, Delightful Book

I found this jewel of a book a few years ago, and it sat on my shelf unread for more than a year. I had so many other books to read, I didn't have time. When I finally did read it, I wished I had not waited. It is an easy read, and it was filled with insight and with clear exposition on issues that had been bothering me. I kept phoning my father, with whom I have deep theological dialogues, and reading passages to him for us to discuss. I recomend it to anyone who seeks more answers in Christology, whether they are in the classroom, in the pew, or in the pulpit. Even more, I would recomend it to anyone who thinks they have the answers.
