Systematic Theology Scripture Defines Scripture Volume 5: The Doctrine of Christ Christology: The Person, Incarnation, Offices, and Glory of Jesus Christ

Who is Jesus Christ?

That question stands at the center of Christian doctrine. Before the atonement can be understood, before salvation can be explained, and before the church can proclaim the gospel rightly, Scripture must reveal who the Redeemer is.

Systematic Theology: Scripture Defines Scripture - Volume 5: The Doctrine of Christ is a Scripture-driven study of Christology: the person, incarnation, offices, and glory of Jesus Christ. Written with the conviction that Scripture defines Scripture, this volume allows the Bible's own witness to identify the Christ whom the church must confess.

This volume examines Christ as:

• the eternal Word
• the Son of God
• the Only Begotten Son
• the Image of the invisible God
• the Creator and Sustainer of all things
• the promised Messiah of the Old Testament
• true God and true man in one person
• Prophet, Priest, King, Mediator, Servant, Shepherd, Bridegroom, and Head

The study moves from the glory of the eternal Son to the promises of the Old Testament, the incarnation, virgin birth, true humanity, true deity, sinlessness, obedience, humiliation, crucifixion, offices, and final glory of Christ.

The final chapters guard against false christs and corruptions of Christology while showing how Christ unites Scripture, reveals the character of God, secures the salvation of man, and stands as the hope of creation.

Although this volume is part of the larger twenty-four-volume Systematic Theology: Scripture Defines Scripture series, it is written to stand on its own as a complete study of the doctrine of Christ.

The church needs the Christ of Scripture.
