The Identity of Jesus Christ, Expanded and Updated Edition

"Hans Frei has written one of the most interesting and provocative christological proposals in recent American theology. It continues to stimulate discussion and to bear fruit for the faith of the Church and the life of academic theology."

"No one could have anticipated the significance of this book when it was first published. Intellectually, we simply were not ready for it. Developments in theology and philosophy that made Frei's work so important were largely unknown to the general public. Now, thank God, many have 'caught up to Frei' and can appreciate the significance of this extraordinary book. For if Frei did nothing else, he made the Gospels again property of the church."
