Review Quotes:
"Seventeen hundred years ago the Council of Nicaea met to debate and discuss, amongst other things, the centrality of Christ in the message of Christianity. At stake was the evangel, as they saw it--that is, the very heart of the Faith. Today, in celebration of this momentous event in Christian history, a group of evangelical scholars have come together to mark the importance of Nicaea with a stimulating collection of essays on matters of Christology. These studies demonstrate the vitality and fertility of evangelical accounts of the incarnation and atonement. Not only are they a fitting memorial to the past; they press forward in constructive directions for Christology today and tomorrow."

"This is a hugely valuable collection, exploring contemporary Christology with both breadth and depth. From historical work and biblical studies to scientific and cultural interpretations from around the world, this volume shows the vibrancy of evangelical scholarship."
- Bethany Sollereder, Associate Professor in Science and Religion, University of Oxford
"Jason S. Sexton and T. A. Noble have collected and curated a wonderful cache of studies on Christology before, during, and after the Council of Nicaea. Some of the essays are groundbreaking, a rich feast of scholarship, delving into one of the perplexing and yet important questions of all: Who is Jesus? A delight for scholars, students, and armchair theologians."
