This collaboration between Reginald H. Fuller, an Anglican, and Pheme Perkins, a Roman Catholic, is an enlightening overview of traditional and contemporary Christology debates. It also deals with related issues in current New Testament studies. The authors move beyond the merely exegetical data, integrating exegesis with contemporary theological reflection. Fuller and Perkins present the Christologies of the New Testament evangelists and trace their development in the early church to the classical Christology of Nicea and Chalcedon. This provocative study concludes with an assessment of the values and inadequacies of classical Christology for today and a critique of some contem- porary proposals.

REGINALD H. FULLER is Professor of New Testa- ment at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria. Among his numerous works are The Formation of the Resurrection Narratives, The Use of the Bible in Preaching, and The Foundations of New Testament Christology.

PHEME PERKINS is Associate Professor of New Testament at Boston College. She is the author of Hear- ing the Parables of Jesus, The Gnostic Dialogue, and Reading the New Testament.
