These eleven lucid, fresh, and thought-provoking essays from a
master-craftsman among New Testament scholars reflect his
conviction that these three topics-hermeneutics, Christology, and
discipleship-must always be considered together. In the first set
of essays, Longenecker sets out his distinctive take on the nature
of an evangelical hermeneutics. In the second set, he focusses on
what he calls the 'foundational conviction of New Testament
Christology', the obedience / faithfulness / sonship of Christ, and
brings back into discussion often forgotten dimensions of
Christology. Here he explores a range of christological materials
and motifs within the early Christian communities, with special
studies on the concept of the virgin birth and on the curious case
of the Melchizedek Christology in Hebrews. The third set, both
practical and exegetical, are, as he says, 'where the rubber meets
the road', on the implications of the 'Son of Man' imagery for
discipleship and on the theme of discipleship in Luke-Acts.
