Opis produktu

Michael Allen is Associate Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary Orlando FL USA.Provides doctrinal guidance and imagination for a controversial debate within the guild of New Testament studies.Locates the imitation of Jesus within a broader dogmatic context.A key book in showing the value of the life of Jesus.The Christs Faith coheres with orthodox Christology and Reformation soteriology and needs to be affirmed to properly confirm the true humanity of the incarnate Son. Without addressing the interpretation of the Pauline phrase pistis christou this study offers a theological rationale for an exegetical possibility and enriches a dogmatic account of the humanity of the Christ.The coherence of the Christs faith is shown in two ways. First the objection of Thomas Aquinas is refuted by demonstrating that faith is fitting for the incarnate Son. Second a theological ontology is offered which affirms divine perfection and transcendence in qualitative fashion undergirding a Chalcedonian and Reformed Christology. Thus the humanity of the Christ may be construed as a fallen human nature assumed by the person of the Word and sanctified by the Holy Spirit.The dogmatic location of The Christs Faith is sketched by suggesting its (potential) function within three influential theological systems: Thomas Aquinas federal theology and Karl Barth. Furthermore the soteriological role of the doctrine is demonstrated by showing the theological necessity of faith for valid obedience before God.This study offers a theological rationale for an exegetical possibility and enriches a dogmatic account of the humanity of the Christ.Introduction1. A dogmatic account of Christs faith.2. Perfect sight in an imperfect world: Christs beatific vision or human ignorance. 3. Toward an extensive doctrine of faith: Hebrews 11 and the reformed tradition metaphysics of the incarnation. 4. Christs faith within the loci of salvation covenant and eschatology. 5. The function of Christs faith: from faith to faith. ConclusionConstraints on space do not allow [the reviewer] to do justice to the many captivating perspectives this study has to offer. The way in which Allen fleshes out his agenda is nothing short of riveting. His discussion of Christs fallen nature is spellbinding.In this book Michael Allen interacts both constructively and critically with biblical theology key streams of the Christian tradition and the best of contemporary scholarship. The result is a winsome depiction of the fullness of Christs humanity that does not weaken a truly incarnational Christology but instead evokes fresh wonder at the Word becoming flesh. Daniel J. Treier Associate Prof. of Theology Wheaton College Illinois USAIf dogmatic theology serves as a barometer of the Churchs health Michael Allens study is a most promising sign indeed. Integrating contemporary biblical research with the insights of Karl Barth and the Reformed confessi
