The Lord Jesus Christ: The Biblical Doctrine of the Person and Work of Christ (Crowe)

Description

Jesus is the divine Son of God who has taken on human nature in the incarnation. As prophet, priest, and king, he leads his people in a new exodus. In The Lord Jesus Christ, Brandon D. Crowe reflects on Christ’s person and work. Crowe traces christological concerns throughout the Old and New Testaments and church history and then presents systematic and practical implications. Through a combination of biblical, historical, and theological study, Crowe provides a fresh and robust statement of who Christ is and what he has done.

Written from a confessionally Reformed perspective in dialogue with the great creeds of the church, The Lord Jesus Christ provides a thorough and trustworthy guide to understanding Jesus and his salvific work.

Author

Brandon D. Crowe is professor of New Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary in Glenside, Pennsylvania, and author of The Last Adam: A Theology of the Obedient Life of Jesus in the Gospels and The Hope of Israel: The Resurrection of Christ in the Acts of the Apostles.
