Traditional accounts of Christ, as in the Creeds, are usually based on church councils of the fourth and fifth centuries. Many Christians now find them unconvincing. Meanwhile Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and feminists are often attracted by what they know of Jesus but repelled by claims that the divinity of Christ makes Christianity the only true faith.
In this lecture Jonathan describe the new book
What Christ? Whose Christ? New Options for Old Theories.
