What is The way of Jesus Christ : Christology in messianic dimensions about?

The Messianic Perspective intended to comprehend both the messiah as person, and the messianic kingdom, the messianic era and the messianic land, the messianic signs and the messianic people in history. Of course 1 am developing the concept 'messianic' in the light of Jesus' person and history. What else can a 'Gentile Christian' do? But my purpose is to unfold the concept in so open a way that it respects the Jewish messianic hope, and is interpreted in continual dialogue with Jewish philosophers of religion. I am not presupposing that the Old Testament messianic hope points simply of itself to Jesus of Nazareth (which was what the theology of the prophetic proofs maintained). But I am assuming that Jesus understood himself and his message in the expectation categories of this messianic hope, and that his followers saw him in these categories, so that Jesus is linked with the messianic hope in a primal and indissoluble sense. Christian christology has divided Christians and Jews. That is true. But it does not have to degenerate into a Christian anti-Jewish ideology, since hope for the messiah also links Christians with Jews, and this link is stronger than the division. Community i
