D.A. Carson
Although it is a foundational confession for all Christians, much of the theological significance of Jesusâ€™s identity as â€œthe Son of Godâ€ is often overlooked or misunderstood. Moreover, this Christological concept stands at the center of todayâ€™s Bible translation debates and increased ministry efforts to Muslims. New Testament scholar D. A. Carson thus sheds light on this important issue with his usual exegetical clarity and theological insight, first by broadly surveying Jesusâ€™s biblical name as â€œthe Son of Godâ€, and then by focusing on two key texts that speak of Christâ€™s sonship. The book concludes with the implications of Jesusâ€™s divine sonship for how modern Christians think and speak about Christ, especially in relation to Bible translation and missionary engagement with Muslims across the globe.
