The Eldest Brother and New Testament Christology explores the origin of cultural representations of Jesus as an eldest brother. Through ethnographic surveys, author Harald Aarbakke shows that the role of the eldest brother in different African societies is often accompanied by additional roles, among them mediator, protector, and leader. Aarbakke also searches for an exegetical basis for this understanding of Jesus, and argues that an eldest brother Christology can be substantiated by the cultural and literary context of certain New Testament texts (Matthew 25:31-46 and 28:10, Mark 3:31-35, John 20:17, Romans 8:28-30, Colossians 1:15-20, and Hebrews 2:10-18).

What is "theological method"? Can there be more than one method? If so, how do you choose between them? How does method relate to experience? Would experience affect your choice of method and method affect experience? Abdul-Masih offers a three-part proposition. The first is that theological method is influenced by theological reasoning. That is, beliefs about the doctrines of revelation and God's activity will shape one's attitude toward experience. Your convictions provide a broad definition of "experience, " and determine how it is to be used. Her second proposition is that one's attitude toward experience and its use will, in turn, shape subsequent theology. In other words, the relationship between theological method and subsequent theological discourse is circular or, more accurately, a spiral. Her third proposition is that "experience" is itself contextual, and therefore there is no right or wrong choice but rather a plurality of methods. To expand upon and illustrate her claim, Abdul-Masih analyzes, throughout her book, the methods of Edward Schillebeeckx and Hans Frei, who represent the tension in contemporary theology surrounding the issue of experience.

A new interpretation of the Jesuit mission to New France is here proposed by using, for comparison and contrast, the earlier Jesuit experience in Japan. In order to present revisionist perspectives of the Jesuit missions based on a broader international framework beyond North America, the existing historical paradigms of the Jesuit missionary activity to Amerindians based on the limited regional history of New France are re-examined.

"Il n'a voulu, en aucune façon, changer la Loi. Il portait les franges à son vêtement comme tous ses coreligionnaires. Il connaissait l'hébreu et l'araméen, et fréquentait les synagogues. Il citait la Loi et les prophètes, et les interprétait comme les maîtres traditionnels. Tant que nous n'aurons pas retrouvé le judaïsme concret de Jésus - qu'il n'a jamais quitté ni dans l'esprit ni dans la pratique, nous ne pourrons pas comprendre ce qui relie et ce qui sépare le christianisme du judaïsme, ni ce qui devrait les pousser à dialoguer fraternellement. Nombreux sont les historiens et les théologiens juifs et non-juifs qui ont tenté de resituer Jésus dans son contexte historico-culturel. Certains ont cru possible cette recherche, d'autres l'ont déclarée impossible. Nous voulons ici prendre un chemin beaucoup plus simple et plus aisé : montrer qu'en dehors de l'identité divine de Jésus, fondement de la foi chrétienne respectable, son enseignement et sa conduite sont restés fidèles à la tradition juive. Ce livre propose, grâce aux recherches d'un philosophe et maître de la pensée juive, une démarche inédite : retrouver en esprit l'engagement juif de Jésus avant sa christianisation."--Page 4 of cover.
