Examples

“HE’S [Joseph H. Yeakel] scared of the Jesus movement. “I’m scared when I think⟳ of Jesusology. The church has to move⟳ toward a Christology—on a God-and-man emphasis. I see⟳ the Jesus movement as a tidal wave⟳. The Jesus movement can overemphasize Jesus the man.””

“Albert Schweitzer’s wry remark⟳ that the lives of Jesus produced in 19th century scholarship are so many portraits of the idealized hopes of the scholars may well be expanded to cover⟳ all of our Jesusologies and Christologies, and so it should be.”

“W. Norman Pittenger, David Griffin, and John B. Cobb have⟳ all formulated “process⟳ Christologies.” In point⟳ of fact, all three have⟳ only constructed Jesusologies that so naturalize the understanding of divine grace as to make⟳ Christology unthinkable.”
