Revelations of the Cross

Collected writings on the Trinity, Christ, and the Holy SpiritIn this collection of writings from one of the most well-known theologians of the modern era, Packer strongly defends Trinitarian theology and the uniqueness of Jesus Christ against contemporary challenges. In so doing, he deals with theological issues such as atonement, justification and universalism. He calls for believers to be serious about the Holy Spirit, and his articles on this topic are valuable examples of how to apply theological beliefs to controversial issues within the church.The articles range from short devotional pieces published in church- sponsored journals, to opinion articles for popular journals like Christianity Today, to major articles for scholarly journals.Contents Foreword1.
