Jesus in Trinitarian Perspective features six highly respected
scholars from schools such as Erskine Theological Seminary, Talbot
School of Theology, Dallas Theological Seminary, and Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary. These scholars address an issue that
has a significant impact on the way Christians should approach
everyday evangelism but is often ignored: the fundamental fact that
the Savior who died on the cross and rose from the dead is the
eternal second person of the Trinity.
The Christian church has confessed this truth since the early
centuries, but many modern theologies have denied or ignored its
implications. To clarify the complex issue, these writers approach
"post-Chalcedonian" (451 AD) Christology from a variety of
disciplines--historical, philosophical, systematic, and
practical--thoroughly examining the importance of keeping Jesus
Christ in trinitarian perspective.
Major chapters include: "Introduction to Christology: Chalcedonian
Categories for the Gospel Narrative," "The Eternal Son of God in
the Social Trinity," "The One Person who is Jesus Christ: The
Patristic Perspective," "Metaphysical Models of the Incarnation:
Person, Nature, Mind, and Will," "The Atonement: A Work of the
Trinity," and "Jesus' Example: Prototype of the Dependent,
Spirit-Filled Life."
This introductory Christology book is written for advanced
undergraduates and entry-level seminary students.

"The doctrine of the Trinity, as expressed in the classiccreeds of
the early church, was the necessary theological expression of two
non-negotiable biblical affirmations--the Old Testament
declaration, "God is One" and the New Testament confession, "Jesus
is Lord."~ This superb collection of essays by evangelical scholars
unpacks this great truth by giving the lie to the false dichotomy
between the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith.~ A great
primer in historical theology!"

Invitation to Theology: Exploring the Full Christian
Tradition
"The study of Jesus Christ is obviously important to all
Christians. However, it is not obvious that he must be understood
in light of the trinity. We must reflect upon Jesus' life and
ministry in relationship to God, the Father, if we are rightly to
appreciate and apply what scripture says about him. Likewise, we
need to consider the person and work of the Holy Spirit throughout
Jesus' life. Jesus in Trinitarian Perspective helps Christians to
understand and appreciate the importance of the trinity in
considering Jesus--the life he lived, the salvation he provided,
and the role model for how we should live and minister. The book
provides clear-cut axioms for investigating the dynamics and
significance of Jesus' relationship to the Father and the Holy
Spirit. Christians will benefit greatly from the variety of ways
Jesus in Trinitarian Perspective explores who Jesus is, especially
in light of who he is in relationship to God the Father and the
Holy Spirit."

Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary, authorof Jesus

"For a careful look at how Jesus has been understood theologically
in the church, Jesus in Trinitarian Perspective is a solid walk
through what is often dense terrain. There is much to ponder here.
I am pleased to recommend it."
J.P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Biola
University, author of Philosophical Foundations for a Christian
Worldview and Kingdom Triangle
"In recent years, intense research has been directed at
christological and trinitarian themes with exciting and insightful
results. Jesus in Trinitarian Perspective is on the cutting edge of
this research because it is the only volume to approach these
themes in a multi-disciplinary perspective. Faithful to scripture
and Chalcedon yet creative and fresh, Sanders and Issler have given
the church a theologically rich and devotionally practical guide to
the person and work of Christ. Pastors and informed laypeople will
profit greatly from this book. Moreover, it would be my first
choice as a text in Christology."
