Alan P. F. Sell is a scholar and ecumenist who has taught courses, conducted worship, and delivered great lectures in many parts of the world. Following two pastorates and a period in British higher education, he became Theological Secretary of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (Presbyterian and Congregational), Geneva; and then held the Chair of Christian Thought in the University of Calgary, Canada. Since 1992, he has been at The United Theological College in Wales.Throughout the trilogy Doctrine and Devotion the author seeks to communicate the Christian faith and foster a devotion that has implications for daily living. Alan P. F. Sell does this by presenting the major Christian doctrines -- God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit -- as they are found in the Bible, as believers have confessed them through the ages, and as they relate to Christian witness at the dawn of a new millennium.Jesus Christ is the center of this book, part 2 of the trilogy Doctrine and Devotion that concentrates on both the humanity and divinity of Christ. Ever since the apostle Paul wrote his letters to the early churches, Christians have believed in the saving work Jesus performed for humans through his death and resurrection. This event, combined with the teaching and person of Jesus, enables modern Christians to see both God and themselves with new eyes. We begin to understand that both creation and re-creation are the ongoing work of God and his Son.
