Lord Jesus Christ

Lord Jesus Christ expounds the doctrine of Christ by focusing upon theological interpretation of Scripture regarding Jesus's identity. The book's structure traces a Christological arc from the eternal communion of the Triune God through creation, covenants, Incarnation, passion, and exaltation all the way to the consummation of redemptive history. This arc identifies Jesus as the divine Lord who assumed human flesh for our salvation. The book expounds and defends a classically Reformed Christology in relation to contemporary contexts and challenges, engaging both philosophical and global concerns. Each chapter begins with the theological interpretation of a key Scripture text before expounding key concepts of orthodox Protestant Christology. Lord Jesus Christ is a unique example of writing dogmatic theology by way of theological exegesis. The result is a volume that engages the numerous scholarly volumes on Christology that have appeared within the last couple of decades but provides a contemporary account of a traditional view.

Grounded in exegesis of the biblical text, conversant with the history of theology, and engaged with contemporary debates of lasting significance--Daniel Treier offers a superb Christology. This text will not only prove useful in the classroom; it will also become a methodological standard. Lord Jesus Christ is modern theological interpretation of Scripture as it should be written. The chapter on Philippians 2 alone is worth the price of the book you hold in your hands, while the entire arc of this theodrama makes it priceless.' -- Malcolm B. Yarnell III, research professor of theology, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
