"This book is a major theological achievement. Thompson offers an original Christology, rational and poetic, carved out of the center of the Church's tradition, faithful to scripture, that integrates the preferential option for the poor. A brilliant analysis of the classical and contemporary christological debates allows Thompson to arrive at a liberationist Christology that presents Jesus as the eschatological and ecstatic prophet who reveals the Cod of compassion
present in history and renders those who believe in him capable of compassion, dedicated to justice, and obedient to a new song in the heart." -Gregory Baum
"Thompson appears to me to have understood very clearly the perspective that I have tried to develop, and to have integrated it into a radical yet well-balanced and complete perspective on Christology in the context of a full interpretation of Christian faith." -Rosemarg Radford Ruether
"William Thompson's study of contemporary Christologies is remarkable for its breadth oi coverage and clarity of exposition. Thompson not only surveys all of the important contributions of contemporary theologians, philosophers, and sociologists of religion to his subject, but he also addresses the full range of theological, social, and political issues that relate to it, and he does so in a candid and engaging manner that makes his book a pleasure to read." -Eugene Webb
