A Systematic Study of Jesus by Gerald O’Collins
This study book offers a clear and balanced overview of systematic Christology, written by Gerald O’Collins. It addresses key questions within the Christian faith using current biblical and historical insights.
Description
In this fully revised second edition, O’Collins presents a thorough and accessible systematic study of Jesus. He refutes sensational views that are not supported by the New Testament or traditional Christian teaching. Central themes include Jesus’ human freedom and sinlessness, the virginal conception, his personal resurrection, and the relationship between Jesus and other religions. The love-based Christology, grounded in the resurrection, places universal salvation through Jesus at the center. This book is essential for theology students and for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of systematic Christology.
