In this book, Matthew Levering unites eschatologically charged biblical Christology with metaphysical and dogmatic Thomistic Christology, by highlighting the typological Christologies shared by Scripture, the Church Fathers, and Aquinas. Like the Church Fathers, Aquinas often reflected upon Jesus in typological terms (especially in his biblical commentaries), just as the New Testament does. Showing the connections between New Testament, Patristic, and Aquinas’s own typological portraits of Jesus, Levering reveals how the eschatological Jesus of biblical scholarship can be integrated with Thomistic Christology. His study produces a fully contemporary Thomistic Christology that unites Ressourcement and Thomistic modes of theological inquiry, thereby bridging two schools of contemporary theology that too often are imagined as rivals. Levering's book reflects and augments the current resurgence of Thomistic Christology as an ecumenical project of relevance to all Christians.

Today, a Christian doctrine of Israel will be worked out under the shadow of Christian persecution of Jews – which prepared the way for the Holocaust – and also in the context of the passages in the New Testament that exhibit harsh polemic against Jews who did not accept Jesus as the Messiah.1 Traditionally, Christians supposed that the ongoing Jewish people who do not accept Jesus as the Messiah are in a condition of covenantal infidelity and covenantal curse. Christians assumed that the Jews’ covenants had been revoked so that they no longer are God’s people. Christian sermons and writings about the Jewish people, whether in the dreadful stereotypes and violent language employed by Martin Luther, or in Blessed John Duns Scotus’s approval of the forced baptism of Jews, or in St. John Chrysostom’s poisonous rhetorical invective against the Jewish people of his day, had an impact over the centuries in pogroms, expulsions, and abuse of all kinds.
