Christ, the Beginning of Dogma (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781023619738)

In "Christ, the Beginning of Dogma," Johannes Weiss explores the foundational beliefs about Jesus Christ in early Christian thought. This study delves into the historical and theological contexts that shaped the initial understanding of Christ, examining the influences of Hellenistic philosophy, Jewish messianic expectations, and the diverse interpretations present in the Gospels. Weiss meticulously analyzes the development of Christology, tracing its origins from the primitive community to the evolving doctrines that defined early Christianity.

Through detailed examination of key texts and concepts, including the concept of the 'Son of God, ' the Gospel of John, and the historical figure of Jesus of Nazareth, Weiss illuminates the complex interplay of ideas that contributed to the formation of Christian dogma. "Christ, the Beginning of Dogma" remains a valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in the historical Jesus and the origins of Christian theology.
