Abstract
Abstract This article discusses the inevitable contextual nature of Christology, highlights contextual and transcontextual issues in the study of Christology and then introduces the various contributions to this volume. Contextual issues that are highlighted is the need to develop a Christology that restores a transcendent frame of reference in a materialist world entrapped within an immanent frame of reference, the importance to rethink the relationship of Christ to the cosmos in light of developments within the natural sciences, the universal relevance of Christ and the theme of inculturation. Transcontextual issues that need to be addressed are the Jewish-Christian dialogue on Jesus as the fulfillment of the promise to Israel, the relationship between historical research on Jesus and theological-philosophical reflection on the nature of Christ, the relationship between high and low Christology, Jesus’s universal significance, the meaning of Christ’s atonement, the parousia of Christ and the limits of religious language about Christ.
