Magnifying God in Christ

Magnifying God in Christ
By Thomas R. Schreiner

This paperback summary of New Testament theology is a fascinating piece of work as it condenses his substantial 990-page hardback of identical title into a manageable paperback.

Initially I found the rather clipped style difficult to get into. In condensing his major work he has certainly cut away all excess material so that pure truth follows pure truth in very dense packaging.

Having said that, I have found reading the book became genuinely inspiring and helpful, although inevitably I discovered some areas of difference of opinion, particularly relating to the activity of the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless this is a thoroughly good work and if you want to study a serious New Testament theology without having to plough through hundreds of pages this is a paperback I’m very happy to recommend.
