The Person of Christ

Throughout the history of the church the doctrine of the person of Christ has been a centerpiece of theological reflection. InThe Person of ChristDonald Macleod rearticulates this multifaceted doctrine. He begins with the New Testamentand recent attempts to understand its Christology. Macleod then turns his attention to Christ in the history of Christian theology, examining the principal issues extending from Arianism in the fourth century to kenotic Christology in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to the current debate over the uniqueness of Christ.

The Person of Christis a valuable point of entrance and a biblical assessment of the full panorama of issues that have shaped orthodox confessionsof Christ through the centuries. The pathway of Christian revelation and tradition is clearly charted, with hazards new and old carefully marked.
