Who Do You Say That I Am? Reformed Christology beyond Anti-Judaism

Abstract

precis:

This essay explores the connection between confessing Christ as Messiah and the anti-Judaism this confession has often produced in Reformed theology. Through a close reading of selected Reformed confessions, the essay explores the peril and promise of Reformed Christology in relation to Judaism. The author proposes a renewed emphasis on Reformed understandings of Christ as prophet and king, which stress the Jewishness of Jesus and result in deepening contemporary Jewish-Christian encounters.
