Evangelicals often underemphasize Jesus' humanity. Bruce Ware examines this neglected doctrine, holding Christ up before his followers as the supreme example of how to live. Since the earliest days of the Christian faith, unbelievers have denied that Jesus was God. Today evangelicals continue to vigorously defend Jesus' deity against liberal scholars and skeptics, often to the point of underemphasizing his humanity. This is equally dangerous, warns respected theologian Bruce Ware, because to comprehend Jesus correctly, we need to appreciate him as both fully God and fully man. The Gospels tell us that Jesus was born to a virgin, healed the sick, walked on water, and rose from the dead, proving he was God. But he also lived his life, conducted his ministry, carried out his mission, obeyed the Father, resisted temptation, and died for sin, all as a man. In The Man Christ Jesus Ware examines the human side of Christ's dual nature, one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith. Pastors, students, and believers who want to better understand their Savior will find here a rich resource addressing a neglected doctrine.
