This groundbreaking volume offers a fresh examination of Jesus Christ's significance for our contemporary world, seventeen centuries after the Council of Nicaea formulated the Christian Creed.
Bringing together leading evangelical theologians and emerging scholars from across the globe, this comprehensive work explores the enduring relevance of Nicene Christology while addressing pressing questions of our time. From biblical interpretation to cultural engagement, from historical analysis to contemporary challenges, these fifteen chapters provide a robust restatement of evangelical Christology. Distinguished contributors examine Christ's identity and significance through multiple lenses—biblical, historical, philosophical, and cultural—while maintaining deep roots in orthodox Christian faith. This volume uniquely bridges classical theological affirmations with modern contextual concerns, offering fresh perspectives on:
- The historical development and contemporary relevance of Nicene Christology
- Christ's role in an age of competing salvific claims
- The intersection of Christology with science, politics, and global Christianity
- Distinctive evangelical approaches to understanding Jesus' person and work
Who is Jesus Christ for Us Today? is essential reading for students, scholars, and pastors seeking to understand and articulate who Jesus Christ is for today's world. This landmark work demonstrates how historic Christian convictions about Christ can meaningfully engage with contemporary questions while remaining faithful to evangelical theological traditions.
"Seventeen hundred years ago the Council of Nicaea met to debate and discuss, amongst other things, the centrality of Christ in the message of Christianity. At stake was the evangel, as they saw it—that is, the very heart of the Faith. Today, in celebration of this momentous event in Christian history, a group of evangelical scholars have come together to mark the importance of Nicaea with a stimulating collection of essays on matters of Christology. These studies demonstrate the vitality and fertility of evangelical accounts of the incarnation and atonement. Not only are they a fitting memorial to the past; they press forward in constructive directions for Christology today and tomorrow."
- Oliver Crisp, Professor of Analytic Theology, St Mary's College, University of St Andrews
“This is a hugely valuable collection, exploring contemporary Christology with both breadth and depth. From historical work and biblical studies to scientific and cultural interpretations from around the world, this volume shows the vibrancy of evangelical scholarship.”
