The God the Son Incarnate: Doctrine of Christ (Foundations Of Evangelical Theology Series)

No other word but colossal!!!!\\r\\nExceptional handling of classic Christology. \\r\\n\\r\\nBeginning with epistemology, Wellem paints a historical trajectory of understanding onwards to the Enlightenment, through to the modern thence post modern eras. Wellem labours to help us see why we have thought about Jesus in certain ways throughout history. \\r\\n\\r\\nWellem spends ample time on the biblical warrant for Jesus, by enforcing the Word written as inerrant and authoritative in revealing Christ. \\r\\n\\r\\nWithout setting aside ecclesiological traditions Wellem espouses the necessary warning to avoid swaying from past councils such as Nicea and Chaceldon, for through such creeds the church developed its understanding of Jesus Christ as fully God and fully man: One person with two natures, one divine and one human. \\r\\n\\r\\nWellem convincing critiques kenotic Christologies exposing them as wanting and providing no solid response to classical orthodoxy. Wellem looks in detail at both Ontological and Functional Kenotic Christologies highlighting how each must deny Chalcedon - exposing the error of allocating the """"will"""" and """"soul"""" to the person of Christ, against the view classic Orthodox view of the """"will"""" and """"soul"""" found in the nature of Christ. \\r\\nFor the serious student!\\r\\n\\r\\nJust brilliant! 5 oo 5
