Routledge Ordinary Christology - Who Do You Say I Am?

Explore the lived faith of everyday believers with Ordinary Christology: Who Do You Say I Am? This academic study by Ann Christie examines the perspectives of Christian churchgoers who have not received formal theological training. By looking at how ordinary people understand the identity and actions of Jesus, this book provides a unique window into practical, pastoral, and empirical theology. Christie analyzes the specific christologies and soteriologies found within a sample of churchgoers, offering a detailed theological appraisal of their beliefs. The research identifies the main characteristics of ordinary Christology and asks important questions about how the church should engage with the faith held by its members. This work is a valuable resource for those interested in understanding the intersection of formal theology and the actual experiences of the pews. It offers significant insights for pastoral care, theological study, and missiology.
