Publisher's Synopsis
Christianity is Christ--not just creed, dogma, religion, or ethic, though it may contain elements of all these. Who Christ is, what He did, and does, and why, and what He yet will do--or in more technical terms, the Person and Work of Christ--these are the stuff of Christianity. And since the work of Christ covers more than His Death--His Incarnation, Life, Teaching, Works, Example, Priesthood and Sacrifice--so Dr. Marshall surveys the whole New Testament and summarizes for us the teaching of its various writers as they develop their central theme. I. HOWARD MARSHALL is Emeritus Professor of New Testament Exegesis at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland where he has taught since 1964. He is also president of the British New Testament Society, member of the Committee on Bible Translation, and chair of the Tyndale Fellowship for Biblical Research. Marshall's teaching that salvation can be lost was instrumental in Clark Pinnock's departure from Calvinism. His other books include I Believe in the Historical Jesus, Jesus the Savior, and Kept by the Power of God.
