Showing titles in Christology

A writing born out of the desire to know Christ more fully and to understand His glory and sacrifice more completely, this work inspires and encourages an increase in both faith and theological understanding. Focusing on the role, nature, and example of Jesus Christ, Owen ties together the Savior’s sacrifice on Earth to His ultimate glory and transformation at the Father’s side. Owen’s words reflect and therefore spark a unique craving to personally witness Christ in all of His heavenly and fully realized glory.

When someone thinks of Jesus, “genius” is not likely the first word that comes to mind. But when studied in detail, Jesus’s teachings and interactions with others combined high levels of knowledge and insight, verbal skill, and simplicity—showing his genius. In The Surprising Genius of Jesus, Peter J. Williams examines the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 to show the genius, creativity, and wisdom of Jesus’s teachings. He used simple but powerful stories to confront the Pharisees and scribes of the day, drawing on his knowledge of the Jewish Scriptures to teach his audience.

In this stirring systematic theology of atonement, Owen Strachan turns our gaze to the biblical Jesus—the greater David, a mighty king who comes in the power of God to save sinners and destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). The true Jesus is the most fascinating subject in all history: he is Lamb and Lion, gentle and ferocious, divine yet a humble servant. All these graces bear down on one moment in time: the cross. The Warrior Savior brings together strands of doctrine that are too often separated, notably penal substitutionary atonement and Christus Victor.

God Reached Down from Heaven with the Best Gift of All A sacred season is about to unfold for three women whose hearts belong to God. Elizabeth is barren, yet her trust in God remains fertile. Mary is betrothed in marriage, yet she is willing to bear God’s Son. Anna is a widow full of years...

Wir können Ihn nicht kennen, wenn wir nicht erkennen, dass Er Realität ist. Der Bericht von der Geburt Jesu ist keine Legende. Maria und Joseph waren wirkliche Menschen. Ihr Dilemma des Raummangels in der Herberge war für sie eine große Not und so legten sie das Jesuskind in eine Krippe. Diese erste Weihnacht war weit entfernt von dem, was wir uns normalerweise als niedliche Weihnachtsszene ausmalen.

Using an historical-theological approach supplemented by exegesis, Letham develops a biblically faithful Christology of the Son's deity, humanity, and incarnation, while examining major Christological heresies and creedal responses to them.

Do you ever wonder if Jesus really claimed to be God? Maybe you've heard people say, "Jesus never said he was God," or you've been asked, "Why believe Jesus is divine if he never claimed it?" These challenges aren't just from non-Christians―they show up in church, too. Even if you're not coming from a place of skepticism, you might still question how well church teachings about Jesus match up with what he actually said. So, did the historical Jesus really claim to be divine?

The doctrine of Christ's ascension is often overlooked in the church today, yet it holds profound significance for Christian theology and the Christian life. The Glory of the Ascension by theologian Ross Hastings invites listeners to rediscover this essential truth.

Pese al tiempo transcurrido desde que sucedió, el proceso a Jesús de Nazaret mantiene su plena actualidad. El trágico final en la Cruz de un profeta judío en torno al año 30 d.C., contra toda apariencia, supuso un nuevo comienzo de la historia de la humanidad y el inicio de unas formas religiosas y culturales que llegan hasta nuestros días. En este libro se examinan desde una perspectiva de alta divulgación los acontecimientos políticos, religiosos y jurídicos en los que se materializó el rechazo de la sociedad de su tiempo a Jesús.

Most Christians recognize the importance of Christ’s death and resurrection. But how many of us understand the theological significance of Jesus’ actions before and after the Crucifixion? In The Work of Christ, Dr. R. C. Sproul looks at every aspect of Jesus’ life and work, addressing such life-changing topics as: Why Jesus’ baptism is relevant for our salvation.

"Auf allen Kontinenten dieser Erde beten bestimmt viele Menschen, und viele sagen, "ich glaube an Gott, ich glaube an Jesus, den Christus". Wenn wir jedoch in diese Welt blicken und wenn wir hören, wie sich Menschen untereinander begegnen – Kriege, Mord, Totschlag – die unzähligen Krankheiten, die kaum mehr zu ergründen und zu erfassen sind, das Leid der Tiere durch uns Menschen, auch die Natur, die ganze Pflanzenwelt leidet unter den Menschen. Doch viele Menschen beten. Und so kann doch gesagt werden: Wo ist Gott? Viele Menschen beten. Gott hilft so wenig in dieser Welt.

When peace seems far from us and when true rest doesn’t come, we don’t need more to-dos on our list or a set of step-by-step instructions to help us get there on our own. True peace, hope, and rest only comes by spending time in the presence of God. Spend 90 days in His Word focused on who God is and what He is like and find that He is worthy to be trusted at every twist or turn of life. He is better than our minds can imagine, in control of all things, and infinitely good.

In this bold, momentous work, the Pope—in his first book written as Benedict XVI—seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from recent ‘popular' depictions and to restore Jesus' true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and incites us to encounter, face to face, the central figure of the Christian faith.

God’s work with the human race in time and space has been, and continues to be, a series of new beginnings. At every point, the Trinity is central, for God’s relationship to his Son and his Spirit stands behind everything about his relationship to us. Starting from before time began, Donald Fairbairn leads us through these beginnings, shedding fresh light on the Trinity at each stage. He offers clues and questions along the way, inviting us to join in the discovery process.

In Knowing the Cross, Geoffrey Thomas investigates God’s Word to understand the true meaning of the cross of Christ. Do you understand how this instrument of death became a symbol of life? How the verdict of bad news for Jesus became a declaration of good news for His people?
