SHORT STUDIES IN SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY
Edited by Graham A. Cole and Oren R. Martin
To my in-laws, Charles and Margaret Hackenberry:
Thankful for your faithfulness in marriage and as parents,
and grateful for your example to know, love,
and proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord.

About The Person of Christ: An Introduction (Short Studies in Systematic Theology)People are just as interested in discovering who Jesus is today as they were in the first century. Some view Jesus as a great prophet or a wise philosopher; for others, he is an important religious leader or even a revolutionary. In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology series, Stephen Wellum examines the divinity and humanity of Christ, focusing on who Jesus is from Scripture and historical theology. He also expounds on why Jesus is utterly unique and how Christians should think about the incarnation—the truth that God the Son took on flesh and became a man. As readers spend time thinking through the glory and majesty of Jesus, they will delight to know and proclaim Christ alone. |
