Is it really that important what we think of Jesus
Christ and the nature of his work? Does the
content of our understanding of him have any
practical significance?
Against a growing tendency in the church to
downplay the value of serious theological
reflection, Bryan Holstrom asserts that thinking
rightly of Christ is not only an eminently
practical pursuit, but one that no thoughtful
Christian can afford to neglect. With the goal of
increasing our appreciation for the significance
of Christ and the work that He undertook, Holstrom
addresses some of the most misunderstood and
challenging teachings found in Scripture:
* How can Jesus be God's Son and yet be God
himself?
* What is the significance of the Bible's teaching
that he was born of a virgin?
* How could he have been tempted and yet remain
sinless?
* What does it mean to say that he was perfected
by his earthly life?
* Is he still the King of the Jews?
* Why is he called the Savior of the World if not
all people are saved?
* What is it about Jesus Christ that makes him
uniquely qualified to be the one Mediator between
God and men?
* Does it really matter whether we affirm that
salvation is available only through him and the
work that he did?
This book helps Christians overcome many of the
modern misconceptions that plague our
understanding of Christs person and work. The
result is not just right thinking, but increased
devotion to the One who asked 'What do you think
about the Christ?'
