A study of the doctrine of Christ that is biblical and historical,
evangelical and ecumenical, conceptually clear and contextually
relevant.
Lord Jesus Christ expounds the doctrine of Christ by focusing upon
theological interpretation of Scripture regarding Jesus's identity. The
book's structure traces a Christological arc from the eternal communion
of the Triune God through creation, covenants, Incarnation, passion, and
exaltation all the way to the consummation of redemptive history. This
arc identifies Jesus as the divine Lord who assumed human flesh for our
salvation.
The book expounds and defends a classically Reformed Christology in
relation to contemporary contexts and challenges, engaging both
philosophical and global concerns. Each chapter begins with the
theological interpretation of a key Scripture text before expounding key
concepts of orthodox Protestant Christology. Lord Jesus Christ is a
unique example of writing dogmatic theology by way of theological
exegesis. The result is a volume that engages the numerous scholarly
volumes on Christology that have appeared within the last couple of
decades but provides a contemporary account of a traditional view.
About the Series:
New Studies in Dogmatics seeks to retrieve the riches of Christian
doctrine for the sake of contemporary theological renewal. Following in
the tradition of G. C. Berkouwer's Studies in Dogmatics, this series
will provide thoughtful, concise, and readable treatments of major
theological topics, expressing the biblical, creedal, and confessional
shape of Christian doctrine for a contemporary evangelical audience. The
editors and contributors share a common conviction that the way forward
in constructive systematic theology lies in building upon the
foundations laid in the church's historic understanding of the Word of
God as professed in its creeds, councils, and confessions, and by its
most trusted teachers.
