EMA featured books #2
Crossway have just published Bruce Ware's new book on the humanity of Christ, titled "The Man Christ Jesus: Theological reflections on the humanity of Christ." This is not a long book (140pp) but I can't recommend it highly enough. It's simply super. What is more it is accessible for the thinking church member – it's not just written at a level which only those with theological education could access (Donald MacLeod's The person of Christ must surely lead the way in this field). Bruce has eight very good and thorough chapters, some of which drill down into quite specific issues – like, for example, what did it mean that Jesus "grew in wisdom" and another on what it meant for Jesus to "grow in faith". All of these are brought home in useful and heart warming applications. As John Benton said in his review, "The book will make you think deeply, but most of all it will enable the reader to see Christ not as a distant Saviour but as our brother. It brings us closer to Jesus. We are thus led to greater appreciation, love and worship for the Lord Jesus Christ. I think it is not going too far to say that Bruce Ware has produced a modern classic of evangelical literature here."
The book will be at the EMA together with 999 other titles…. Book now.
