About

In Christological Dogmatics, Glenn Butner offers a bold, expansive exploration of Christ's person and work, weaving together biblical studies, historical theology, and global perspectives--from Nestorian disputes to Ethiopian Orthodox debates to modern reflections on christological ethics.

Rooted in Protestant convictions of Scripture's authority and salvation by grace alone, this companion to Butner's award-winning Trinitarian Dogmatics explores doctrinal tensions and systematizes Christian thought for the universal church. Unlike typical Christology texts that focus on doctrinal development over time, its locus-by-locus approach synthesizes patristic, medieval, and majority-world voices into a robust, intermediate-level survey.

Enhanced with annotated bibliographies after each chapter and a glossary of terms, this volume is an invaluable resource for professors, students, clergy, and theologians. Here, Christology emerges as the vital intersection of Trinity, salvation, and ethics, inviting readers to witness the crucified and risen Savior afresh.

Endorsements

"Glenn Butner has produced an erudite and magisterial treatment on the most important subject in theology: the person of Jesus Christ. His breadth of inquiry is astounding, from biblical studies, to patristics, to medieval classics, to Protestant scholastics, to modern theology. Butner guides readers through every disagreement and debate about God the Son and comes to measured and mature conclusions."

Michael F. Bird, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia

"A scholarly, rigorous, and ecumenically winsome work, Butner's Christological Dogmatics invites us to learn from Christ as he comes to us in the Scriptures and to grow in our confession of his person and work through a renewed dialogue with key historic and contemporary voices in Christology. Most impressive, Butner integrates dogmatic lessons in Christology and the ethical life in a way that draws us into the beauty of our participation by grace in the incarnate Son's life in the Spirit through union with him. Further readings at the end of each chapter and a final glossary add to the pedagogical value of the book."
