The Saving Mysteries of Jesus Christ: A Christology in the Wesleyan Tradition - Paperback

by Edgardo Colón-Emeric (Author), Mark Gorman (Author)

Jesus is Lord! This scandalous confession is an act of worship, a pledge of allegiance, a call to service, and a saving act. Yet who is Jesus Christ? How should we understand his life, his death, his resurrection, and his work of salvation? This book offers a perspective from the Wesleyan tradition on these vital questions. It introduces readers to christology, the study of Christ. The authors encourage readers to ponder the mystery of salvation at work in Christ's entire life and to make the confession "Jesus is Lord" their own.
