Book Review: Jesus the Christ: The Historical Origins of Christological Doctrine

welcome recovery of spirituality within theology" (p. 7). It proceeds in the dialectic between prophetic (accenting the other, the word, the demand) and mystical (dissolving all certainties and expressions in an ever-greater mystery). True, Tracy often comes across as trying to chair a fractious meeting while walking a tightrope. There is, in his hermeneu tics of critique and suspicion, such an excess of political correctness, such an effort at fine nuance, so much tantalising reference, all expressed in his dense, inexhaustibly allusive style, that only the brave will persevere. It is a pity when the desired dialogue seems to include everyone but the reader. And yet this is an important book, at least as a signpost to new directions in an influential author's work; perhaps, too, as an indication of where theology is inevitably going, if theologians do not get too discouraged by this particular prelude to the task ahead.
