Various perspectives on the doctrine of Christology.

A farily thorough treatment of the contemporary doctrine of Christology from a variety of perspectives, including a philosopher of religion, a New Testament scholar, an Evangelical Christian philosopher, a liberal process theologian, and a feminist. The round table structure of the text is interesting and pedagogically efficient. Each thinker is given an opportunity to express his/her view of Christology and to offer a brief critique of the other essays. Since all participants are associated with Claremont, it gives the reader a view into the theological and intellectual climate of Claremont as well as a taste of the different ways to think about Christ. However, I would have liked to see a more original account of feminist theology's response to the issue of Christology.
