A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Spanning early Christian writings from the Gospel of Mark to the Acts of John, this book by Vernon Robbins explores the various ways early Christians explained their understanding of the special nature of Jesus beyond the canonical Gospels. Who Do People Say I Am? shows how second- and third-century Christian authors of additional Gospels and Gospel-like writings expanded and elaborated on Jesus' divinity in the context of his earthly existence. According to Robbins, these Christian authors thought that the New Testament Gospel writers could and should have emphasised the divinity of Jesus more than they did. Learning activities and a bibliography at the end of each chapter help make this book a valuable resource for any interested general readers.
