Lord Jesus Christ

Lord Jesus Christ is a biblical and historical study of the doctrine of Christ, focusing on theological interpretation of Scripture regarding Jesus' identity. It traces a Christological arc from the eternal communion of the Triune God to the consummation of redemptive history, identifying 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. It is a unique example of writing dogmatic theology through theological exegesis, providing a contemporary account of a traditional view. The New Studies in Dogmatics series seeks to retrieve the riches of Christian doctrine for contemporary theological renewal, building upon the foundations laid in the church's historic understanding of the Word of God.
