The Gospel Coalition 2022 Book Award Winner (Academic Theology)
Southwestern Journal of Theology 2022 Book of the Year Award
(Honorable Mention, Hermeneutics/Bible Reference/Biblical
Backgrounds) Two experts in exegesis and dogmatics show how
Christology and the doctrine of the Trinity are grounded in
Scripture and how knowledge of these topics is critical for
exegesis. The book outlines key theological principles and rules
for the exegesis of Christian Scripture, making it an ideal
textbook for hermeneutics and interpretation courses. The authors
explore how the triune God revealed in Christ shapes Scripture and
its readers and how doctrinal rules intrinsic to Scripture help
guide exegesis.
New title in the Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture series
Biblical Foundations Book Awards Runner Up and Finalist What does
the epistle to the Hebrews mean when it calls Jesus "Son"? Is "Son"
a title that denotes his eternal existence as one person of the
Trinity? Or is it a title Jesus receives upon his installation on
heaven's throne after his resurrection and ascension? In this
Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture (SCDS) volume, which
promotes fresh understandings of Christian belief through creative,
faithful readings of the canonical text, pastor and New Testament
scholar R. B. Jamieson probes the complexity of the Christology
presented in the epistle to the Hebrews. Exploring the paradox of
this key term, Jamieson argues that, according to Hebrews, "Son"
names both who Jesus is eternally and what he becomes at the climax
of his incarnate, saving mission. Jesus is, in short, the eternal
Son who became the messianic Son for us and for our salvation. This
volume thereby offers a case study showing how the church's core
convictions about Christ lead us not away from the text, but deeper
into it. Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture, edited by
Daniel J. Treier and Kevin J. Vanhoozer, promotes evangelical
contributions to systematic theology, seeking fresh understanding
of Christian doctrine through creatively faithful engagement with
Scripture in dialogue with church.
This book addresses two crucial, related questions in current
research on the Epistle to the Hebrews: when and where did Jesus
offer himself? And what role does Jesus' death play both in
Hebrews' soteriology as a whole, and specifically in Jesus'
high-priestly self-offering? The work argues that the cross is not
when and where Jesus offers himself, but it is what he offers.
After his resurrection, appointment to high priesthood, and ascent
to heaven, Jesus offers himself to God in the inner sanctum of the
heavenly tabernacle, and what he offers to God is the
soteriological achievement enacted in his death. Hebrews figures
blood, in both the Levitical cult and the Christ-event, as a medium
of exchange, a life given for life owed. Represented as blood,
Christ's death is both means of access and material offered: what
he achieved in his death is what he offered to God in heaven.
