The apostle John said of the life and work of Jesus, "Even the
world itself could not contain the books that should be written"
(John 21:25). Acknowledging the size of the task, as well as its
importance, Dr. John F. Walvoord has written this systematic
presentation of the person and work of Christ from eternity past to
eternity future. Beginning with an analysis of modern trends in the
study of Christology, Dr. Walvoord shows that "contemporary
Christology has in many respects confused rather than clarified the
extended revelation of the Word of God." The Word of God forms the
solid basis for Dr. Walvoord's entire study. Analyzing the Old
Testament, he shows Christ in its history, typology, and prophecy. Then,
in the New Testament, he examines the life and work of the incarnate
Christ. The doctrines of atonement, redemption, propitiation, and
reconciliation are thoroughly and clearly discussed. The book concludes
with an examination of the present and future work of Christ, thus
giving the reader a comprehensive study of Christology.
