Seeing the contours of Christian thought about Christ
Throughout the two-thousand-year span of Christian history, believers in Jesus have sought to articulate their faith and their understanding of how God works in the world. How do we, as we examine the vast and varied output of those, who came before us, understand the unity and the diversity of their thinking? How do we make sense of our own thought in light of theirs? The Christian Understandings...

Restoring the Biblical Christ: Is Jesus God? argues that there is one God, the Father (1 Corinthians 8:6), that Jesus was a man (John 8:40) distinct from God (John 7:16-17), but that God revealed himself through Jesus (John 14:10). This position leaves many questions to be answered, like Why does the Bible say Jesus was worshipped? Why is the Word called God in John 1:1? What did Jesus mean when he said, "Before Abraham was, I am"? Did Jesus preexist...

"Yet a little while, and the world sees Me no more; but you see Me." John 14:19.
Note, then, that as the text says that the world which saw Christ should soon see Him no more, so it teaches us that there are many outward privileges in religion that even worldly people enjoy that they shall soon enjoy no more, for, as they would not have the inward spiritual grace, they shall not forever have the outward and visible sign to tread beneath their feet!...

Deeply engaged with the classical tradition and the contemporary world, the book leads readers into critical explorations and debates of the concept of "deep incarnation"-the view that the divine incarnation in Jesus presupposes a radical embodiment that reaches into the roots of material...

The Bible guarantees that God will not only listen to our prayers but will give us a blessed life. However, in life we experience many adversities, such as accidents, cancer, losing jobs, and global pandemics. Why must we suffer even if we trust in our loving God and believe in Him? When misfortunes fall upon believers, why doesn't God protect His children? This comes from a misinterpretation of faith. This book explains what biblical faith looks...

In both biblical studies and systematic theology, modern treatments of the person of Christ have cast doubt on whether earlier Christian descriptions of God-in which God is immutable, impassible, eternal, and simple-can fit together with the revelation of God in Christ. This book explains how the Jesus revealed in Scripture comports with such descriptions of God. The author argues that the Bible's Christology coheres with and even requires the affirmation...

Do you believe that the fruit is a part of the tree, and vice versa? Do you believe that the tree is intrinsically a part of the seed? Do you believe that the seed is an indwelling component of the fruit? Are the seed, fruit, and tree distinct within themselves, yet connected? If you answered yes to these questions then you have grasped an understanding of the triunity of the Godhead. The theocracy of the kingdom of the Godhead is comprised of three...

In The Holy Spirit as Space for the Living, George Evans recognizes the significance of the Spirit in pneumatology within the New Testament, emphasizing the Spirit's indwelling presence as a person. However, Evans notes that the functional aspect of the Spirit as the presence of God is often overlooked. The Spirit not only gives life (ruah) but also creates space for individuals to live and thrive. This spatial understanding suggests that the Spirit...

It's essential to the Gospel, but we rarely talk about it.
The good news of Jesus includes his life, death, resurrection, and future return--but what about his ascension? Though often neglected or misunderstood, the ascension is integral to the gospel.
In The Ascension of Christ, Patrick Schreiner argues that Jesus' work would be incomplete without his ascent to God's right hand. Not only a key moment in the Gospel story, Jesus' ascension was necessary...

Drawing on both ancient Christian writings and Reformation-era teachings, Earth Shadows on the Sky: The Holy Trinity, Divine Sovereignty, and Humanistic Philosophy offers...

God came to earth as an illegitimate child. Mary, his mother, was a human being, not a porcelain figure in a nativity scene with a halo. She was a young teenage Mediterranean woman who wanted to save herself for marriage. Then an angel told her she'd become pregnant by the Holy Spirit. This book intends to dismantle the fictitious Mary made in the image of religion. Rather, the human Mary of the Scriptures who gave God a body is the subject of this...

This book explains key doctrines in theology from the perspective of biblical eschatology. Eschatology first appears in Genesis rather than in Revelation, for it is about the chief end of man and God's creation. It is placed in the beginning rather than at the end of theology as the central and foundational motif. "The chief end of man" in the Westminster Shorter Catechism, for instance, is an eschatological concept in nature as well as in redemption....

Samuel Youngs addresses this lacuna, providing the first exhaustive analysis of Moltmann's doctrine of Christ, including its key developments and controversial elements.
Youngs argues that Moltmann's doctrine of Christ is best understood as a unique variation of kenotic...
