The Humiliation Of Christ

The Humiliation of Christ: In Its Physical, Ethical and Official Aspects is a theological book written by Alexander Balmain Bruce. The book explores the concept of the humiliation of Jesus Christ, which refers to the process by which Jesus willingly submitted to the limitations and suffering of humanity during his time on earth. The book is divided into three parts, each of which examines a different aspect of Christ's humiliation. The first part explores the physical aspect of Christ's humiliation, focusing on his birth, life, and death. Bruce examines the ways in which Christ's physical form was humbled, from his lowly birth in a stable to his brutal execution on the cross.The second part of the book focuses on the ethical aspect of Christ's humiliation. Bruce examines the ways in which Christ's teachings and example challenged the prevailing moral and social norms of his time, and how his message of love and compassion continues to challenge us today.Finally, the third part of the book examines the official aspect of Christ's humiliation, focusing on his role as the Son of God and his ultimate triumph over sin and death. Bruce explores the theological implications of Christ's humiliation, including the nature of God's love and the role of human suffering in our spiritual growth.Overall, The Humiliation of Christ: In Its Physical, Ethical and Official Aspects is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of one of the central concepts of Christian theology. Bruce's clear and accessible writing style makes this book an excellent resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.Lecture 1: Christological Axioms; Lecture 2: The Patristic Christology; Lecture 3: The Lutheran And Reformed Christologies; Lecture 4: The Modern Kenotic Theories; Lecture 5: Modern Humanistic Theories Of Christ's Person; Lecture 6: Christ The Subject Of Temptation And Moral Development; Lecture 7: The Humiliation Of Christ In Its Official Aspect; Appendix Includes Various Notes On The Different Lectures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
