King, Priest, and Prophet: A Trinitarian Theology of Atonement (Theology for the 21st Century)
"Sherman gives us real theology. Drawing on the resources of Scripture and the tradition, he illumines some of the most central and most difficult questions of Christian theology, always with an eye to their implications for the church today."—William C. Placher, Charles D. and Elizabeth S. LaFollette Distinguished Professor in the Humanities, Wabash College (William C. Placher)“…Robert Sherman’s volume on King, Priest, and Prophet: A Trinitarian Theology of the Atonement, we should welcome the emphasis portended in both the title and the subtitle of this work.…the basic substance in this book is familiar.…what is most striking and welcome about Sherman’s book is the irenic and pastoral vein in which he writes, as he threads his way through citation and commentary on a mass of biblical texts, Trinity and atonement are thought through together.” –Books & Culture, 2/05“Someone who wants a map of the entire landscape would do well to start with Sherman’s book.” –The Christian Century (an ecumenical weekly), 3/22/05“It is safe to say that no one has taken this line before, and Dr. Sherman is to be congratulated for having opened up a new dimension of theological inquiry…What we have here is a stimulating and original work which deserves to be read widely, studied, and answered by those whose primary concerns are, like Dr. Sherman’s the edification and worship of the church.” –Themelios 30/3 (Themelios)"With an intendedaudience of Christian ministers (ordained or lay, and seminary students), thisbook seeks to serve the church in its 'mission of communicating the good newsof Christ's atoning work to the world....[Sherman] has written a very clear andthoughtful exposition of a classically Reformed understanding of Christ's workand the Trinity. I strongly recommend this book for seminary, college, andadult education classes."-Louis Malcom,TheologyToday,January 2006(Theology Today)
