Description
Is it possible to find in the New Testament a single coherent theology? In Jesus Through Many Eyes, Stephen Neill makes the case convincingly for a unified faith underlying the many traditions and interpretations of Jesus within scripture, which can be summed up in the words Resurrection-Spirit-Reconciliation. First published in 1976, his exposition remains relevant to general readers and specialist scholars alike. Neill provides detailed explanations of more obscure concepts and references, along with comprehensive notes and bibliographies to each chapter, making this an ideal introductory textbook. Meanwhile, those familiar with his arguments will benefit from new insights and interpretations.
Reviews / Votes
'This succinct study of the theology of the New Testament writers, based on extensive and uo-to-date reading, will be useful to many students without Greek or detailed knowledge of modern scholarship. . . . Bishop Neill nearly always states fairly the main alternative views and has succeeded admirably in his purpose.' L.A. Garrard, in The Journal of Theological Studies, vol. 28, issue 2, October 1977More details
