Full Description
In Christological Dogmatics, Glenn Butner offers a bold, expansive exploration of Christ's person and work, weaving together biblical studies, historical theology, and global perspectives--from Nestorian disputes to Ethiopian Orthodox debates to modern reflections on christological ethics.
Rooted in Protestant convictions of Scripture's authority and salvation by grace alone, this companion to Butner's award-winning Trinitarian Dogmatics explores doctrinal tensions and systematizes Christian thought for the universal church. Unlike typical Christology texts that focus on doctrinal development over time, its locus-by-locus approach synthesizes patristic, medieval, and majority-world voices into a robust, intermediate-level survey.
Enhanced with annotated bibliographies after each chapter and a glossary of terms, this volume is an invaluable resource for professors, students, clergy, and theologians. Here, Christology emerges as the vital intersection of Trinity, salvation, and ethics, inviting readers to witness the crucified and risen Savior afresh.
