Abstract

The article deals with the issue of Jesus Christ’s narrative identity according to the Belgian theologian Adolphe Gesche. The study presents first and foremost the most significant elements of his Christology. Among the fundamental qualities linked to the Saviour is the ability to tell about Him, which reveals His identity. The prominent narratives about the Master of Nazareth include the New Testament Gospels and Epistles. The testimonies on Jesus recorded by His disciples demonstrate their interpretation of His mission during Christ’s public activities and after the resurrection. Gesche discusses the most important aspects in the New Testament accounts of Jesus, paying special attention to Christ’s Resurrection, God’s Sonship and God’s openness to man. According to Gesche, the narrative approach to Christology confirms there is no dichotomy between the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith. The Saviour was described as True God and True Man since this was how people experienced Him.
