  Macquarrie returns to the subject of his prize-winning Jesus Christ in Modern Thought, as he 'revisits' and expands his understanding of the person of Jesus Christ. Macquarrie challenges extreme views of many kinds. He criticizes those theologies which over-emphasise the divine side of Jesus to such a degree that they almost ignore his humanity, and he criticizes those 'adoptionist' views, ancient and modern, which threaten to take away the very notion that Jesus Christ is 'God-Man, ' He also challenges modern New Testament historical scholarship, arguing that even if we knew vastly more about the historical Jesus, the mystery of the person would still remain.
