Abstract

This article is about the names of Jesus. One element of the process of understanding and proclaiming Jesus was the attribution of titles to him. Some of the titles that were gradually used in the early Church and then appeared in the New Testament were adopted from the Jewish context of the age, while others were selected to refer to, and underscore themessage, mission and teachings of Jesus. In time, some of these titles gathered significant Christological significance.
