T&T Clark Handbook of Christology (T&t Clark Handbooks)

This comprehensive work collects more than 30 essays from leading biblical scholars and systematic theologians to explore the person and work of Jesus Christ in a generously interdisciplinary manner. From research foundations and method to the doctrine of the incarnation, from the Trinity to the resurrection, and from Christ’s temptations to his high-priestly prayer, these essays seek to engage constructively with Scripture, the history of Christian teaching, and modern proposals and debates. Together this international group of scholars engages such topics as: Christ’s preexistence, his constitution as the God-human, his temptations and will, the hypostatic union, the prayer of John 17, the struggle in Gethsemane, kenosis, the two states and threefold office, Spirit Christology, impassibility and the cross, resurrection, and the diversity of the New Testament witnesses to him. This is an indispensable volume for the study of Jesus Christ in the subject’s biblical, historical, and doctrinal contours.
