This is the first book to offer a comprehensive summary of the criticisms of Christological orthodoxy, and as such is the first to provide a full defense of the orthodox position. Sturch presents a complete overview of the current objections and of the reasons that have led many theologians to believe that traditional Christology needs drastic revision. He analyzes orthodox doctrine and the requirements of an accurate Christology and concludes that the objections raised are either unfounded or misdirected.
