The Names of Jesus Author:Vincent Taylor "...contains the First Series of Speaker's Lectures delivered by Dr. Vincent Taylor at Oxford in the year 1951-52. It discusses, not only the well-known names and titles of Jesus, such as Son of God, Son of Man, Christ and Lord, but all the names and epithets applied to Him in the New Testament, some 55 in number. These titles are summarised u... more »nder the headings, Messianic Names, Messianic and Communal Names, Soteriological Names and Christological Names Proper. Special interest is taken in the ferment of Jewish Christian thinking, illustrated in such terms as the Bridegroom, the Shepherd and the Stone; and also in the titles, the Last Adam, the Image of God, the Word and the Amen. The Christological importance of the investigation is emphasised, since many of the names indicate the spontaneous attitude of worship and devotion present from the beginning in the first Christian Communities. The paucity and inadequancy of other names of Jesus, used since the first century, is noted, and the basic importance of the New Testament for the study of the Person of Christ is thereby illustrated and confirmed."« less
