Christology Today
by A. Roy Eckardt
New hardcover with dust jacket.
297 pages, copyright 1992, ISBN 0800625137.
Excerpt from the dust jacket flap:
A sympathetic reading of Jesus the champion of Israel that seeks to avoid Christian triumphalism and elitism which have frustrated past efforts for a mutual understanding between Judaism and Christianity.
"A Christian historicism...that is joined to the history and life of Israel has as its foundation and incentive the Jew, Jesus of Nazareth: his outlook, his message, his behavior. In and through the event of Jesus there is manifest the essential historicity that marries the Christian community to Israel, a flesh-and-blood authorization and confession that historical Israel is the root that sustains the church (Rom. 11:18)."
