This book constructs a Christology centered on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. It aims to explore and clarify the original and continuing meaning of Christian belief in Jesus as the Son of God and Savior. Father O'Collins, drawing on traditional teaching and scripture scholarship, presents a mature culmination of his extensive work on Jesus Christ. The book addresses the theological implications of the Shroud of Turin and the redemptive symbolism of Jesus' blood, themes often neglected in contemporary Christology.

This work is presented as a mature climax of Father O'Collins' prior publications on Jesus Christ, drawing on both traditional teaching and contemporary scripture scholarship. The book's focus on the crucifixion and resurrection, along with its exploration of less commonly discussed themes like the Shroud of Turin and the symbolism of Jesus' blood, suggests a comprehensive and in-depth theological treatment. Its concluding linkage of belief in Jesus with the non-Christian world indicates a broad scope for its theological inquiry. The author's established background in writing extensively on Jesus Christ lends authority to this Christological construction.
