Description

This book reviews the major Christological controversies in the Early Church that shaped the language the church uses when she speaks of the person and work of Jesus Christ. The presentation of the mateials is done in a very practical way so that the reader will appreciate the relevance of Christological terminology when understanding who Jesus truly is in daily life. The focus of the book is to take what seems to be abstract language and discussion and make the theology concrete by explaining how it relates to our salvation. To be ignorant of these debates is to be ignorant of how we Christians came to be who we are. To know about them is to have a fuller understanding of our faith and what it means for our lives today. - from the Preface - from Amzon
