Brandon Crowe has already made significant contributions to our understanding of the person and ministry of Christ. Now he places us further in his debt with The Lord Jesus Christ--an outstanding exposition that is as readable as it is comprehensive. Dr. Crowe brings to his task the skills of a fine biblical scholar who is also sensitive to the history of doctrine. In addition he writes with a clear sense of the importance and value of systematic theology in its explorations of the deep logic of the biblical testimony to Christ. All this is combined with deeply thoughtful application for today. While wide reading and careful scholarship underlie every page of The Lord Jesus Christ, it is written in a style that is accessible to anyone willing to join Professor Crowe in his journey through Scripture and theology. It will be instructive to students and hugely stimulating to preachers and teachers, and it should delight any thoughtful reader. Indeed, it belongs to the special category of literature famously described by Francis Bacon: 'Some books are to be ... chewed and digested.' These pages simply increase our admiration for Dr. Crowe's gifts and our debt of gratitude for the particular gift he offers us in this study. The Lord Jesus Christ is to be treasured--and so is this wonderful book about him." --Sinclair Ferguson, Chancellor's Chair of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary We have here the solid and clear communication of orthodox doctrine, in a way that combines careful attention to the biblical texts and to the history of doctrine.--Vern S. Poythress, Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Biblical Interpretation, and Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary Here is a solid, readable, faithful Reformed Christology. Comprised of three sections--biblical, historical/dogmatic, and practical--the book provides a clear introduction to the person and work of Jesus Christ. Crowe's joy in 'the abiding grace of Jesus Christ' is manifest on every page.--Matthew Levering, James N. Jr. and Mary D. Perry Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary
