Theoretical-Practical Theology Volume 4: Redemption in Christ (Theoretical-practical Theology, 4)

“But take Mastricht for divinity in general, doctrine, practice & controversy, or as an universal system of divinity; it is much better than any other book in the world, excepting the Bible, in my opinion.” ―Jonathan Edwards Petrus van Mastricht’s Theoretical-Practical Theology presents one of the most comprehensive treatments of Christian doctrine. Volume 4, Redemption in Christ, examines God’s great work of obtaining redemption in the Mediator, Jesus Christ. This volume: ● Applies Mastricht’s 4-part method―exegetical, dogmatic, elenctic (apologetic), and practical― to the crucial doctrine of Christology ● Has been translated into English for the first time ● Helps teachers and laymen alike apply systematic theology Mastricht sets the stage with a discussion about the covenant of grace as God’s eternal purpose of restoration and restitution for the elect of fallen humanity. From that vantage point, he uses the remainder of the volume to address the glorious procurer of this covenantal grace. Mastricht walks us through the dignity, names, person, offices, states, and redemptive accomplishment of Jesus Christ.
