Jesus Christ is Lord: Christology of the New Testament

The book Jesus Christ is Lord, Christology of the New Testament , by Samuel Pagán attempts to identify, analyze and explain the New Testament theological affirmations about the life and actions of the Jesus of the canonical Gospels, which allow us to understand the important profession of faith that declares without inhibition that "Jesus Christ is Lord".

The fundamental focus and effort of the book is oriented to discover how the theology surrounding Jesus of Nazareth took an extraordinary turn after the experience of the resurrection. Once the news spread that Jesus' death had not ended the messianic expectations of his followers, the resurrection of Christ took on a new dimension.

This book explores the Christology of the New Testament. And that theological strand analyzes the figure of Christ, as revealed in the canonical Gospels, the epistolary literature, and in the apocalyptic revelations and visions of John. That Christological tradition around Jesus is revealed even at the end of the New Testament canon. The seer John, at the beginning of the writing of the divine revelation, categorically affirms the importance of the revelation of Jesus Christ. Our study of Jesus Christ the Lord will explore the development of the theology concerning the Christ of God from the resurrection to John's revelations in Revelation.

In addition, we will study the Christological titles, the hymns of the early churches and various pastoral reflections that are incorporated in the letters of the apostle Paul and his followers. The aim is to identify and analyze the theological content of this great statement of faith in order to explore its contemporary implications.
