T&t Clark Handbook of Christology

A ground-breaking volume that gathers together both biblical scholars and systematic theologians to engage contemporary debates concerning the person of Christ, the structure of this book is unique: rather than divide the topics between the disciplines, each topic is addressed by a theologian and a biblical scholar to provide an explicit and overt dialogue. The topics discussed cover a number of contemporary and perennial debates such as: Christ''s divinity and humanity, the place of the divine Son of God in the Trinity, the diversity of Christologies in the New Testament, kenosis, the sinlessness of Jesus, the two states of Christ, divine impassibility and the cross, and many more.The handbook concludes with a pair of appendices meant to improve its hands-on usefulness. The first collects key creeds and confessional documents pertinent to Christology: the Apostle''s Creed, Old Roman Creed, Nicene Creed, Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, Definition of Chalcedon, Athanasian Creed, etc.; including some brief commentary on the key issues that were in dispute. The second appendix presents a concise dictionary of major concepts, figures, heresies, etc. from the history of Christology.>

This volume gathers both biblical scholars and systematic theologians to engage with a wide range of issues concerning the person of Jesus Christ. Rather than divide the topics between the disciplines, voices from both theology and biblical studies weigh in on contemporary and perennial debates, providing a unique and original collaboration on biblical and doctrinal questions. This wide-ranging volume tackles a wide range of issues, including: eternal generation and the relation of the divine Son to the Trinity, the diversity of Christologies in the New Testament, history and historicity and kenosis. Additionally, this book explores Spirit Christology, the two states and three offices of Christ and the divine impassibility of the cross. The contributors to this incisive volume also delve into Christ's divinity and humanity, His sinlessness, resurrection, personhood as well as his two wills and agency.
