Evangelicals often underemphasize Jesus' humanity. Bruce Wareexamines this neglected doctrine, holding Christ up before hisfollowers as the supreme example of how to live.
Since the earliest days of the Christian faith, unbelievers havedenied that Jesus was God. Today evangelicals continue tovigorously defend Jesus' deity against liberal scholars andskeptics, often to the point of underemphasizing his humanity. Thisis equally dangerous, warns respected theologian Bruce Ware, because to comprehend Jesus correctly, we need to appreciate him asboth fully God and fully man.
The Gospels tell us that Jesus was born to a virgin, healed thesick, walked on water, and rose from the dead, proving he was God.But he also lived his life, conducted his ministry, carried out hismission, obeyed the Father, resisted temptation, and died for sin, all as a man. In The Man Christ Jesus Ware examines thehuman side of Christ's dual nature, one of the greatest mysteriesof the Christian faith. Pastors, students, and believers who wantto better understand their Savior will find here a rich resourceaddressing a neglected doctrine.
