Father Sabourin brings his encyclopedic knowledge of the sacred scriptures to bear on the question of Christ's identity. The wealth, richness and nuances of the Bible are examined here in a clear, crisp manner that will inform and inspire both the beginning student of theology and those already well steeped in the sacred sciences. The Chris tologies of "Q ", Mark, Luke, Paul, Matthew, First Peter, the Pastorals, John and the Apocalypse are all lovingly analyzed. Special questions concerning Jewish and Gentile Hellenism, the Pafestinian outlook, the influence of Oriental cults and myths, the pre-existence and selfunderstanding of Christ, and early Christological hymns are all treated in a way that is attuned with the bes.t of contemporary research and the living faith of the Church. Father Sabourin succinctly presents the data from early Christian writers on Christ, the definitions of Chalcedon, and an overview of the contemporary Christological question.
