"In contrast to the impenetrable prose that unfortunately characterizes far too much theological writing, those who appreciate the clarity and succinctness often found in the best conference papers will not be diasppointed here ... this is a book worthy of recommendation both for its commitment to attentiveness to the Scriptures and the historical creedal traditions of Christology and for its eagerness to develop what is heard into a coherent retelling for the twenty-first century church."
