Dawe presents the key elements of Christology: the scriptural witness to Jesus the tradition of response to Jesus, our response, and how we understand ourselve and our world. The foundation for this new work is how Christology illumine our search for faith.

Jesus is God revealed and humanity revealed. How is the revelation known to us? What hinders our recognition of the revelation? "If God was the Messiah, where is the messianic age?" Dawe tackles these key questions of Jesus and the Christian faith and offers fresh insights to how Jesus is known and how we confess him through faith. He defines and outlines. His comparison of contemporary Christologies with earlier forms corrects the reductionism of recent Christology and leads the way to thinking that is open to the genuinely new disclosures in Jesus. He addresses the relationship of the biblical interpretation of Christ to our

world, our culture, our faith. Dawe draws on the thinking of Pannenberg, Moltmann, Barth, Tillich, Troeltsch, Augustine, Schleiermacher, Kierkegaard, van der Leeuw, and P.T. Forsyth to enable us to discover the presence of salvation in our suffering world. This examination of how we perceive Jesus Christ who he was, who he is, how he is related to God, the kingdom, and humanity is a major contribution to theological studies of the Christian faith. An illuminating presentation of Christianity and its place in a religiously pluralistic world. Shows how God redeems humankind amid our many religious traditions
