"The author offers an accessible treatment of the doctrine of Christology. He builds on the foundations of the Bible's revelation about Jesus Christ and the theological formulation of Christology in the history of the church to help the church today articulate a Christological orthodoxy in continuity with the historic Christian faith"--
In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology, Stephen J. Wellum examines the divinity and humanity of Christ, focusing on who Jesus is from Scripture and historical theology, showing readers why Jesus is unique and how they should think about the incarnation.
