Stephen Neill’s guide to the many theological traditions and interpretations within the New Testament, and their underlying unity of faith summed up in the words: Resurrection-Spirit-Reconciliation.


Is it possible to find in the New Testament a single coherent theology? In Jesus Through Many Eyes, Stephen Neill makes the case convincingly for a unified faith underlying the many traditions and interpretations of Jesus within scripture, which can be summed up in the words Resurrection-Spirit-Reconciliation. First published in 1976, his exposition remains relevant to general readers and specialist scholars alike. Neill provides detailed explanations of more obscure concepts and references, along with comprehensive notes and bibliographies to each chapter, making this an ideal introductory textbook. Meanwhile, those familiar with his arguments will benefit from new insights and interpretations.

Stephen Neill was a towering figure of twentieth-century global Christianity, serving as a missionary and later as Bishop of Tirunelveli in South India, before working for the World Council of Churches in Geneva. He was Resident Scholar at Wycliff Hall (Oxford), a Fellow of the British Academy and a fellow of Trinity College (Cambridge). He also served as editor and director for World Christian Books. His many publications included A History of Christian Missions, The Interpretation of the New Testament, 1861-1961, and the never-completed History of Christianity in India.
