Gerard J Kelly: One of Us is God, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

For years, Christians have been asking the wrong questions.

Instead of focusing on Jesus - who He is, and why it matters - we have worried about ourselves: who is in, who is out, and what the correct doctrine should be. Yet no question is more important in Christian theology than the identity of Jesus. From the accomplished scholar to the new believer, nothing matters more than this: who is Jesus?

In this provocative book, Gerard Kelly takes a deep dive into the gospels to explore the way Jesus himself answered this question, using a unique and unexpected title. Taking this as a vital clue to the doctrine of the incarnation, Gerard builds a compelling and substantive picture of the Son of Man. One of Us is God goes back to the issue that dominated the thinking of the Early Church - the identity and vocation of Jesus. In him, humanity and divinity are combined, and it is this that should remain the critical focus of the church. Only by returning to who Jesus announced himself to be can we ensure that we are following in his footsteps. Reflective, rich and imaginative, this book will equip you to know Jesus better and better to represent his vocation and identity to the world.
