Son of Man and Son of God - Paperback

by John C. Dwyer (Author)

For the Christian there is only one question that really matters: Who is Jesus Christ? The answer to this question determines the way we think about God and about ourselves and therefore it determines the way we live and the way we die. This book strives to answer that question by taking as its starting point a critical reading of the New Testament and by evaluating the role played by almost nineteen centuries of doctrinal and dogmatic tradition in fashioning the faith of the Christian today. This book invites the reader to engage in serious theological thought, but it is not written for professional theologians alone. It is written for all, inside and outside the churches, who are attracted by Jesus of Nazareth and who want to answer his own question: Who do you say that I am?
