From beginning to end, the Bible reveals the glory of Jesus. But for many Bible listeners, it doesn't seem that simple. We're often unsure how the Bible's many stories, characters, events relate together and connect to Jesus. Some are tempted to force the pieces of the Bible together, making superficial jumps to him. Others give up trying to understand the Bible altogether.

Some people think of Jesus as a great prophet or a wise philosopher; others see him as an important religious leader or even a revolutionary. In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology series, Stephen Wellum challenges these claims as he argues for the divinity of Jesus according to Scripture and in line with creedal Christianity. In this brief introduction, we are invited to rejoice in the centrality of Christ―who as both God and man reconciles us to God.

In Christ Alone: Audio Lectures, Stephen Wellum considers Christ's singular uniqueness and significance biblically, historically, and today, in our pluralistic and postmodern age. Each lesson examines the historical roots of the doctrine, especially in the Reformation era, and shows how the uniqueness of Christ has come under specific attack today. Then, learners will walk through the story line of Scripture, from Christ's unique identity and work as prophet, priest, and king, to the application of his work to believers and our covenantal union with him.

When Jesus cried “It is finished” from the cross, what did he mean? And why is this so significant today? Ironically, this cry wasn’t about defeat but about triumph. And it wasn’t just good news, but the best news ever!

Without technical jargon, The Business of Is-Ness aims to help faithful Christians see from Scripture what the world is, as God intended. While the gospel of Jesus Christ offers redemption to sinners who worship creation instead of the Creator, such good news depends upon a proper understanding of God’s world. Indeed, grace does not destroy nature; it restores it. Yet, that truth depends a proper understanding of what nature is.
