A great quote from Bob Gundry on NT Christology:<\/p>\n
\u2018New Testament interpretations of Jesus\u2019 person and work exhibit diversity, then, a diversity prompted by varying circumstances \u2013 political, social, economic, ethnic, education, religious. To be sure, NT Christologies were not wholly determined by such circumstances, as though the figure of Jesus were made of Silly Putty which the NT authors molded into whatever shape they thought was required by their varying circumstances. Certain brute facts and accepted traditions about him provided both a skeleton with which to work and parameters within which to work \u2026 Different parts of the NT give us different Christologies \u2013 not completely different from one another but clearly different, sometimes disconcertingly different, and certainly far more different from one another than has usually been though in the church of world at large.\u2019<\/p>\n
