Kelly returns to the writings of saints and scholars to exemplify the beauty and the wonder of Christ, the Son of God, in this highly–anticipated second volume of systematic theology.

Professor Kelly has learned well from the fathers, medievals, reformers, and Puritans that tradition is to be biblical and that biblical commitment inevitably leads us to honor and embrace genuine Christian tradition. This book is aptly described by its title: not only a \"Systematic Theology,\" but one that is \"Grounded in Holy Scripture and Understood in Light of the Church.\" For exemplifying a commitment to reformed catholicity and showing ways in which such a vision can help keep us alert to the vibrancy and vitality of Christ's glory, then, readers will be in Professor Kelly's debt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"credit\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReformation 21\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eagerly awaited second volume of Douglas Kelly's Systematic Theology does not disappoint.

Kelly interacts with a stunningly wide range of thought. He weaves his pithy quotations from these primary sources throughout his lucid exploration of the person and work of Jesus. The depth and breadth of this Christology is truly astounding, your heart will soar to read of Christ's exaltation. Kelly's exposition of the work of our Mediator sweeps us up in a symphony of praise. If you're tired of a shallow Jesus, sick of the liberal deconstruction of the gospels that leaves everything cut in little pieces, or bored with lazy presentations that conclude \"It's all a mystery,\" then this book is for you. Go deep. Get real. See anew the beauty of our Lord. It's worth the work to engage theology at this level. I promise you will be brought to fresh, wondering admiration of how much the Triune God loves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"credit\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Layman Online\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI highly recommend Dr. Kelly's systematic theology text to all believers but especially pastors and Bible College or Seminary students.
