The Lord Jesus Christ
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 Christprovides a thorough and trustworthy guide to understanding Jesus and his salvific work.
