Sažetak
The author of the article gives a succinct description of some newer thoughts and current themes in Christology that are not frequently mentioned or present in Croatian theology but are more than current not only in contemporary theological/Christological world but much broader. Apart from qualified-scientific titles about Jesus Christ, often there are written thoughts aimed mostly to obtain commercial success. This article analytically and questionably presents research about so-called »Ipsissima intentio Jesu«, which is based on some apocrypha Gospel and on recently discovered acts that speak about the era of the New Testament. This would, apparently - some contemporary philosophers believe — assist in realising the intention that the historical Jesus had. In addition to the Christological problem, here we are faced with an ecclesiastic problem too (»Did Jesus want the Church?«), which nevertheless is not that new. Furthermore we come across themes such as the »third research« about Jesus of Nazareth and the coincidence of Christology and »Christopracitse« through »inheriting Jesus«. The author believes that the results of the so-called »third research« about the historical Jesus is interesting in itself because of new perspectives that are opened up and because of the great trust and historical value of cannon sources; nevertheless the author notes that the results are in some way disappointing in their conclusions.
The author speaks about their attempts to »modernise« Jesus of Nazareth as well as thoughts by the feminist movement about Jesus Christ and the positive and negative sides of these thoughts. The author believes that some »modem« (often pseudo-scientific!) publications wish to present Jesus in such a way so that even those who are »distanced« from Christian faith can »identify« themselves with him. He notes some of the reasons why there is so much imagined and written about Jesus in modem »best-sellers«.
Feminist theology/Christology is a special challenge the author thinks but it also enriches theological-Christological thought. The article however claims that feminism and certain waves of feminist theology have gone to extremes in their thinking about God, that is, Jesus Christ.
