Jesus in Trinitarian Perspective features six highly respected scholars from schools such as Erskine Theological Seminary, Talbot School of Theology, Dallas Theological Seminary, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

These scholars address an issue that has a significant impact on the way Christians should approach everyday evangelism but is often ignored: the fundamental fact that the Savior who died on the cross and rose from the dead is the eternal second person of the Trinity.

The Christian church has confessed this truth since the early centuries, but many modern theologies have denied or ignored its implications.

To clarify the complex issue, these writers approach post-Chalcedonian (451 AD) Christology from a variety of disciplines--historical, philosophical, systematic, and practical--thoroughly examining the importance of keeping Jesus Christ in trinitarian perspective.

Major chapters include: Introduction to Christology: Chalcedonian Categories for the Gospel Narrative, The Eternal Son of God in the Social Trinity, The One Person who is Jesus Christ: The Patristic Perspective, Metaphysical Models of the Incarnation: Person, Nature, Mind, and Will, The Atonement: A Work of the Trinity, and Jesus' Example: Prototype of the Dependent, Spirit-Filled Life.

This introductory Christology book is written for advanced undergraduates and entry-level seminary students.

, Harvard), founding Dean and Professor of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School of Samford University, executive editor of Christianity Today, and author of Theology of the ReformersThe doctrine of the Trinity, as expressed in the classic creeds of the early church, was the necessary theological expression of two non-negotiable biblical affirmations--the Old Testament declaration, God is One and the New Testament confession, Jesus is Lord.

This superb collection of essays by evangelical scholars unpacks this great truth by giving the lie to the fal.
