God The Son (Paperback)

God The Son is the second book in the Understanding The Trinity series written by Don K. Clements. (God The Holy Spirit is in print; God The Father is under contract). God the Son contains 20 chapters dealing with 20 separate topics in the life and work of Jesus. While these are not the only things one can learn about Jesus of Nazareth, they certainly are among the most important. The writing style is designed, according to the author, 'for guys who don't like to read'. Each chapter is free-standing, making the book ideal for devotional reading. The topics taken together make the book ideal for study - and it is suitable for a textbook at the High School and or college level. And finally, each chapter is taken from an evangelistic sermon, making the book ideal for seekers as well as new converts alike to help them understand more about Jesus. The theological position of the author is traditional Protestant, from the reformed branch. However, this work seeks to reach a broader evangelical market and stresses key issues such as the Incarnation, the Virgin Birth, the Active and Passive Work of Jesus, the Offices (Prophet, Priest, and King), as well as describing the primary responses of the Great Commission, the Great Commandment, and the Great Cultural Mandate. One reviewer says of this book: 'God The Son' is remarkably clear of theological jargon and long on concise explication of key scriptures. It encourages and feeds readers. Chapter 17 on the Great Commandment ("Learning about Love from Dale Earnhardt.") alone is worth the cost - in money and reading time
