This compelling introduction considers his relation to the Father and the Son, as well as his essential role in salvation history and his work in the lives of believers. An ideal addition to the library of pastors, seminarians, and laypeople.
Union with Christ and the Life of Faith (Soteriology and Doxology)
In this volume, a top scholar in the world of evangelical theology addresses the key soteriological theme of union with Christ. The book provides substantive engagement with the doctrine of participatory union, including sections on the creeds, Scripture, the history of the doctrine, constructive dogmatics, and Christian praxis. Its biblical point of access is Paul’s theology of life “in Christ,” understood as an invitation to a theological reading of the four Gospels. Special attention is given to the trinitarian structure of union with Christ. This book shows students how to integrate theology into the life of faith and demonstrates how the practices of Christian worship influence theological thinking. A devotional interlude directing readers to a classic hymn, poem, or liturgy follows each chapter.
