In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology
series, pastor Jeremy Treat gives a foundational understanding of
what Scripture teaches and what the church confesses about the
doctrine of atonement.
In the midst of a troubled world, Christians believe in a good God
who, as the Creator, has never lost interest in his broken
creation. The key evidence for, and the chief symbol of, this
divine commitment is the cross of Christ. This God, revealed
Scripture, has a project; and central to the divine strategy is
Christ, his coming and his cross. The troubles and calamities will
end. The cross aEURO" which has been scandalous from the start
aEURO" touches the individual, the church and the wider creation.
The cross makes peace, and brings shalom. The canon of Scripture
presents a 'divine comedy', where the story of Jesus, his cross and
empty tomb are set in the framework of God's grand plan to restore
the created order. Graham Cole's excellent study takes the broad
approach, but not in a way that masks 'the cruciality of the
cross'. He examines who God is and what humanity has become, then
focuses on the divine provision for humanity in its plight. He
explores how the 'peace dividend' of the cross works itself out at
the personal, corporate and cosmic levels, and asks how we are to
live if these things are really so. Finally, he discusses God's
grand purpose, reviews the journey, and addresses the question of
how God the peacemaker brings shalom through atonement in both the
broad and narrow senses of the term. An appendix deals with a range
of controversial aspects of the cross.
In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology
series, Fred Sanders teaches readers how to hold a proper
understanding of both the person and power of the Holy Spirit,
exploring his role in both the Old and New Testaments.Â
The study of themes plays a major part in biblical theology, and
great events and roles that are pivotal in Christology can be
successfully placed in a 'promise-fulfilment' framework. However,
is incarnation an anomaly? Was incarnation part of the hope of
Israel? Graham Cole's stimulating study addresses such questions.
He begins by exploring the purpose of creation in terms of God
fashioning a palace-temple for dwelling with the creature made in
the divine image, then follows God's acts in Israel's history to
redeem a people of his own among whom he can dwell. In particular,
he examines theophanic language: God is presented as a person who
speaks, acts and feels as though embodied. He considers Israel's
messianic hope, and then the testimony of the New Testament: 'The
Word became flesh and dwelt among us' (John 1:14), in the person of
Jesus Christ. Cole also addresses the question raised by Anselm -
'Why did God become man?' - and finds abundant New Testament
answers. He concludes with a consideration of the theological and
existential significance of the incarnation. Readers will gain a
deeper appreciation of the astonishing providence of God that
subtly prepared the way for the mystery of the incarnation, and of
the depth of love that God showed in sending the beloved Son who
became human.
In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology
series, Thomas R. Schreiner examines the biblical and historical

In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology,
Stephen J. Wellum examines the divinity and humanity of Christ,
focusing on who Jesus is from Scripture and historical theology,
showing readers why Jesus is unique and how they should think about
the incarnation.
Despite the growth of the charismatic movement and Pentecostal
churches, people still have questions-and even troubling
concerns-about the person and work of the Holy Spirit. These real
questions are the burden of this book, which seeks to sequentially
address from throughout Scripture six crucial questions that affect
a person's relationship to the Spirit: What is blasphemy against
the Holy Spirit? How does a person resist him? Ought we to pray to
the Spirit? How do we quench the Spirit? How do we grieve the
Spirit? and How does he fill us?
Each chapter is devoted to one question and challenges readers
about their relationship with the Spirit and about Christian living
in general. Readers are also given key elements for thinking
theologically and implications for their belief and behavior. It's
a brief, reader-friendly book full of solid, reassuring
answers.
In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology
series, Graham A. Cole examines the concept of divine glory as well
as God's plan for redeeming individual believers, the church, and

doctrines and practices that unite and distinguish different
churches and denominations as each finds its unique expression
through churches' views of identity, leadership, church government,
sacraments, ministries, and the future.
This book explores the doctrine of angels and demons, answering key
questions about their nature and the implications for Christians'
beliefs and behavior.
