Summary:

Is Jesus Unique? provides the most thorough and comprehensive study ever done on the unique role of Jesus in God's plan of salvation and at the center of Christian belief. Dr. Cowdall surveys all of the major writers in the modern era who have addressed the question and helps to classify the different schools and perspectives into four major approaches: conservative, idealist, liberal, and radical. This major Christological study also evaluates the search for the historical Jesus trend today and different approaches to the metaphysics of history, revelation, and theological anthropology that have shaped the Christological debate since the 1960s. Dr. Cowdell's conclusions in this fascinating survey are clear, thorough, and comprehensive. Is Jesus Unique? is a valuable resource for seminarians, graduate students, and the serious reader interested in understanding the chief directions in Christology today.
