Julius-Kei Kato examines the validity of the Christian confession uttered in the name “Jesus Christ” through the lenses of Edward Schillebeeckx and Robert Funk. The author maintains that despite a seeming discontinuity between the name Jesus and the title of Christ, Schillebeeckx’s view that there is an essential interrelatedness between them and the creedal Christ is “deeply rooted in the experience of salvation” (27) that people have experienced in Jesus.
