Pawl defends Conciliar Christology from all known charges of incoherence, but in so doing he also piercingly explores the conceptual contours and nuances of the Christology proffered by the Councils. Due to the skill with which these ends are achieved, Pawl's book will be required reading for graduate courses in Christology. In fact, I would argue that any future forays into the academic study of Christologyby theologians or philosopherssimply must take this book into consideration. * James M. Arcadi, Modern Theology * I do hope theologians will pick up In Defense of Conciliar Christology. It is an exceptional defense of conciliar christology that deserves serious consideration. Minimally, those theologians inclined to the traditional conciliar stance must take seriously Pawl's careful analysis, for it is now a go to resource on conciliar Chalcedonian Christology. * Joshua R. Farris, Reading Religion *

This volume is an outstanding contribution to the literature in Analytic Theology that has officially taken off over the last ten years or so This work is a rigorous defense of central theological elements in the Christian tradition; it is first rate in content and execution. --<em>Notre Dame</em> <em>Philosophical Reviews</em>

[The book] like his writing, is precise. He does not argue for its truth or possibility, but seeks only to show that conciliar Christianity's central features hold up to logical scrutiny... I found the book very helpful in bringing conceptual clarity to a number of logical questions that arise in any analysis of classical Christology. In the process it reinforced my view of the early Christian theologians as intellectually astute and deeply committed to ways of presenting Christ that avoided contradiction. * Alan Spence, Journal of Reformed Theology * I do hope theologians will pick up In Defense of Conciliar Christology.
