In dialogue with contemporary concerns and controversies in the field of Christology, Father Roch Kereszty, O.Cist., presents in this book a penetrating and integral approach to the mystery of Christ which will have broad appeal to Roman Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox Christians alike. In these pages they will find an articulation of their common faith in Jesus, the Christ, true God and true man. The work begins with a consideration of the biblical texts which formulate what is irreducibly new in the person and work of Christ, then — dealing at length with patristic thought — it provides a selective history of Christology up to the present day, and finally synthesizes the results of these two inquiries in the light of modern concerns. Two appendices explore the universal significance of Christ and the Church to nonchristian religions and to possible extraterrestrial intelligent beings as well. Though written as a Christology text on the graduate level, the book should interest any educated reader who seeks to know Jesus.  About the Author: Roch A. Kereszty, O. Cist., adjunct professor of theology at the Graduate School of the University of Dallas and chair of the Theology Department, Cistercian Preparatory School, received his doctorate in theology from the Pontifical Athenaeum of St. Anselm in Rome. He is the author of, among others, God Seekers for a New Age (Pflaum, 1970), co-author with Dr. William Farmer of Peter and Paul in the Church of Rome (Paulist Press, 1990), and editor of and contributor to The Eucharist in the Life of the Church (Paulist Press, 2002). He is also novice master at the Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of Dallas. This revised and combined edition supersedes the earlier edition of Jesus Christ (1991) and its Supplement (1997).
