Summary:	In this clear and concise introduction to second-century christologies, James Papandrea sets out five of the principal images of Christ that dominated the postapostolic age. Between varieties of adoptionism and brands of Gnosticism, Papandrea helps us see how Logos Christology was forged as the beginning of the church's orthodox confession.
