Jesus of Faith: The Christological Reflections of George M. Soares-Prabhu, SJ

 Based on his scholarly research and studies on the New Testament witness about the Person and mission of Jesus, George Soares-Prabhu presents his insights into the mystery of Jesus of Faith. Thus, he overcomes the dichotomy between the Jesus of History and the Christ of Faith that plagued the discussions about the NT Christologies for more than a century.  It is the Jesus of faith encountered by the early community of the disciples that is articulated in the gospels conditioned by the specific context of the communities in which they were formed. Soares-Prabhu affirms that in the Indian context relevant Christological reflections can be developed only by those who are graced to have an experience of the Person of Jesus and actualize that transforming experience in solidarity with the poor, the marginalized, the discriminated against and all who are oppressed in some way or other.
