Reviews

The Oxford Handbook of Christology is a must-have for students of the Bible and theology desiring an update in the main defining area of Christian faith and scholarship.
*Tomas Bokedal, Journal for the Study of the New Testament*

This is indeed a beautiful book, which reflects the beauty of Christ himself.
*Gerald O'Collins, Journal of Theological Studies*

I found this book most helpful. There is plenty of material for those with a theological interest in Christology.
