About the Author

Jesuit theologian, Alois Cardinal Grillmeier (1910-1998) wrote 12 major books and several hundred academic articles during his lifetime. Christ in Christian Tradition is his best known work, looking at the development of Christology from early Christian times to the ninth century, and drawing particularly on the traditions of the Eastern Christian Church.

Reviews

This is a fine achievement of modern scholarship and in its way a great book. It has, of course, its limitations but I have found it something of a privilege to read and publicly record its qualities.
