God So Loved the World: A Christology for Disciples

Rating:
Summary: For Seeker And Scholar
Review: I read "God So Loved The World" for a Masters class, Ethics of Jesus, and instantly fell in love with it. Wilson is a most gifted writer with wonderful theological insight. I appreciate his taking high theology and organizing it into "stories" or narrative format that makes it easy to understand. The book is a perfect tool for the student or the non-Christian who genuinely desires to know God better. Wilson presents intriguing transitions for his subject content that alone educate and enforce proper doctrine. The subjects are precise, well-organized, and written with great informative skill. The book is not exhaustive, but enough to present the Jesus of the Bible in a conservative, honorable, and dynamic way that will leave any reader longing to know Him and Christian faith intimately. It is impossible not to see the core of Christian religion--Jesus--in a refreshing perspective after reading this book.

Summary: The Kingdom of God
Review: One of the features of this book that really caught my attention was the handling of the Kingdom of God as it realtes to believers in Christ. Permeating a decent study of Christology is the theme that we are living in a pseudo reality. Jesus Christ is calling us out of it and into the Kingdom of God. Do not expect to find anything like a comprehensive presentation of Christology in this book, but you may expect to find a brief but intersting look at some of the central issues surrounding Christ, as well as practical suggestions for applying what was gleaned from those applications to your life.
