Proceedings of the Los Angeles Theology Conference

This is the first volume in a series that will be published by Zondervan Academic.

About Christology, Ancient & Modern: Explorations in Constructive Dogmatics

Christology was the central doctrine articulated by the early church councils, and it remains the subject of vigorous theological investigation today.

Christology, Ancient and Modern surveys the field and articulates the sources, norms, and criteria for constructive theological work in Christology.
