"A true gift to modern discussions of Christology"
This work of serious dogmatics by a Reformed theologian explains why Christology should be connected to a robust doctrine of God.
"This wonderfully helpful book shows how to take up the Bible's passionate presentation of Jesus without letting go of the traditional high doctrine of God. Patiently addressing recent worries while carefully engaging the full witness of Scripture, Duby reunites theological goods that have too often been sundered from each other."
-- Fred Sanders, Torrey Honors College, Biola University
"Over the past two centuries, theologians and biblical scholars alike have questioned the usefulness of concepts like aseity, simplicity, immutability, nature, and substance for Christian reflection on the God of Israel and the person of Jesus. Steven Duby counters that these concepts can play a truly 'ministerial' role in the life of the church by helping to defend the intelligibility and coherence of biblical teaching. Through exacting semantic and logical analysis, Jesus and the God of Classical Theism shows how the judicious use of metaphysical categories, far from obscuring or distorting Scripture's message, might enhance our understanding of it."
-- Ian A. McFarland, Candler School of Theology, Emory University; University of Cambridge
"Duby offers a true gift to modern discussions of Christology, grounding categories and discussions from systematic theology in biblical scholarship. This thorough yet continually engaging book is a must-read for those wanting an overview and update on any of the topics covered."
-- Madison N. Pierce, Western Theological Seminary
"In the name of a biblically authentic understanding of Christ and the Trinity, modern theology has often cheerfully discarded the classical Christian commitment to God's transcendence--to the ways God is not like us--without counting the cost. Written from an ecumenically alert Reformed point of view, this book will interest and stimulate theologians who share its author's conviction that a truly biblical Christology cannot do without a vigorous affirmation of God's eternity, immutability, and impassibility. Even more, one hopes, it will interest those who do not."
