description: In both biblical studies and systematic theology modern treatments of the person of Christ have cast doubt on whether earlier Christian descriptions of Godin which God is immutable impassible eternal and simplecan fit together with the revelation of God in Christ. In addition such treatments have called into question whether these concepts and categories still enable insight into the Bibles portrayal of Christs life and work.This book explains how the Jesus revealed in Scripture comports with earlier Christian descriptions of God. Steven Duby argues that the Bibles Christology coheres with and even requires the affirmation of divine attributes like immutability impassibility eternity and simplicity. Duby offers a constructive treatment of the person of Christ illuminating his relationship to the Father and Spirit the unity of his person and the genuineness of his human life and suffering.
