I already have several books from this series, so I started reading this with high expectations - and nearly quit early on. Luckily I kept on going. The first few chapters are repeatative and not clear as to what reader they are aimed at. There was too much background for someone familiar with theology, but suddenly the opinions of N.N. would be refered to, without explaining who N.N. is. Luckily the second half of the book was on better defined subjects, and the essays there were excellent. The book is also less useful than some others in the series as there is a Bibliography for the entire book rather than the Suggestions for Future Reading at the end of each chapter that are usually so helpful. Don't make this the first book you read about how recent Theology looks at Jesus, but for those with some previous knowledge of the subject it contains many good things to think about.
