Liberal attacks on the doctrine of the divinity of Christ have led evangelicals to rightly affirm the centrality of Jesus's divine nature for his person and work. At times, however, this defense of orthodoxy has led some to neglect Christ's full humanity. To counteract this oversight, theologian Bruce Ware takes readers back to the biblical text, where we meet a profoundly human Jesus who struggled with many of the same difficulties and limitations we face today. Like us, he grew in faith and wisdom, tested by every temptation common to man. And like us, he too received power for godliness through the Holy Spirit, and thus serves not only as the divine Lord to be worshiped, but also the supreme Human to be followed.

Using the seminal anthropology of Rene Girard and drawing out its radical implications Virtually Christian reconfigures the traditional framework of theology. Gone are the heavenly otherworld and its metaphysical God. In their place is revealed a God deeply implicated in the human story and laboring with us for a transformed earth. The identity and mission of Jesus become fully understandable against this background. The consequences for teaching and practice are enormous and especially relevant for emerging church Christians. This book provides a vital contemporary reading of both the gospel message and classical Christian thought.

Many Christians believe we need to choose between fighting injustice and communicating the good news of Jesus Christ. But what if failing to speak the truth is ultimately the greatest injustice of all? If we truly believe the human heart is the source of injustice and the gospel is the only real solution, shouldn’t sharing the gospel’s transforming truth be our highest priority? With his thoughtful, accessible style, Rice Broocks explores why knowing the gospel is, in fact, every person’s greatest right—and therefore the greatest justice issue of our time.Drawing on contemporary stories and rich historical sources, The Human Right answers the question, What is truth? frames evangelism as a human rights issue, explains why secularism lacks the foundation to ground human rights, gives evidence for the existence of the human soul, and describes how the Bible has shaped the modern world. The Human Right urges us persuasively toward a renewed conviction that our ultimate calling is to proclaim the gospel—the only truth that has the power to change our world, to change us, from the inside out.

Jesus was both devine and human. But the nature of Christ's humanity is perhaps the most explosive and divisive issue in Seventh-day Adventism. Was His humanity like that of Adam before the Fall, or like that of a fallen human being?It is not just an intellectual question, as one's shape one's understanding of salvation and the daily life of the Christian before Christ's return. Both view-points appeal to the writings of ellen White to support their position. How do we interpret what she has to say on the subject? As he did in his Ellen White On Salvation, Woodrow whidden analyzes Ellen White's comments ftom a chronological perspective. He has gathered all the statements she made on the subject and examines how she expanded or focused her perspective to meet changing issues and needs in the developing Sevinth-day Adventist Church. Whidden asked those on both sides of the issue to send him every Ellen White statement the that they feel speaks to the subject, and he has collected them in an extensive appendix. Every Seventh-day Adventist studying this issue will want this book for the appendix alone. In addition to going carefully through what Ellen White said on the humanity of Christ and offering his conclusions and suggestions for further study, Whidden asked for comments from a number of leading spokespersons who have emphasized the fallen human nature of Christ. Kevin Paulson has written a response to Whidden's research. - Abbreviations. Preface. Section 1- The Mustery of Christ's Humanity and Human Sinfulness.
