In recent years many books have been published in the area of
Christology (who is Jesus in himself?) and soteriology (what did he
do as Saviour?). A number of notable, ecumenical documents on
Christian ministry have also appeared. But in all this literature
there is surprisingly little reflection on the priesthood of
Christ, from which derives all ministry, whether the priesthood of
all the faithful or ministerial priesthood. This present work aims
to fill that gap by examining, in the light of the Scriptures and
the Christian tradition, what it means to call Christ our priest.
Beginning with a study of the biblical material, the book then
moves to the witness to Christ's priesthood coming from the fathers
of the Church, Thomas Aquinas, Luther and Calvin, the Council of
Trent, the seventeenth-century 'French School', John Henry Newman,
Tom Torrance and the Second Vatican Council. The two concluding
chapters describe and define in twelve theses the key
characteristics of Christ's priesthood and what sharing in that
priesthood, through baptism and ordination, involves.
