Description: Although it might seem natural that Jesus' beliefs
about God should shape Christian theology, this has often not been
the case. Jesus' beliefs about God, including such aspects as
omnipotence and personality, were largely shaped by contemporary
Judaism. His view of God's character--exercising impartiality and
mercy in this world, but at times retribution in the next--was
often distinctive, though not always. The questions about the
divine nature that had exercised earlier philosophers and
theologians and would continue to puzzle later ones were not his
concern, and later discoveries and theories about the nature of the
cosmos, still often so mysterious to us, were naturally not part of
his thought-world. Similarly, the role that later theologians found
for him within the divine Trinity was also alien to him. On the
other hand, alternative attempts to argue about the existence and
the nature of God on the basis of cosmology or human "religious
experience" have led to no conclusive results. The man Jesus
himself, however, offered moral teaching and a way of life that he
believed, rightly or wrongly, reflected the nature and will of his
God, and this is his lasting contribution, regardless of whatever
divine reality does or does not lie behind it.
