Jesus Christ: A Guide for Study and Devotion

by Alister E. McGrath

Overview

In this book, the third in the Heart of Christian Faith series, Alister E. McGrath provides an exploration of how we can best understand Jesus Christ using analogies, illustrations, and stories. This short, accessible guide also provides a pastoral and spiritual consideration of the difference that our belief in God makes to the way in which we think about ourselves and our world. With future volumes to examine other core Christian principles, McGrath's new series will define "mere Christianity" to a new generation for many years to come.

Read an Excerpt

"Christians have always insisted that there is something special, something qualitatively different about Jesus. The New Testament makes plain that he is the lens through which we see God most clearly, and a mirror in which we can find ourselves reflected accurately and reliably. Through Jesus, we learn what God is like. But, just as importantly, we also learn what it really means to be human." —from the introduction
