Christ Alone : The Uniqueness of Jesus as Savior : What the Reformers Taught ... and Why It Still Matters
Outline : "We see that our whole salvation and all its parts ate comprehended in Christ. We should therefore take care not to derive the least portion of it from anywhere else." -John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion (1559), 2.16.19.
Historians and theologians have long recognized that at the heart of the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation were five declarations (or "solar") that distinguished the movement from other expressions of the Christian faith. Five hundred years later, we live in a different time with fresh challenges to our faith. Yet these rallying cries of the Reformation continue to speak to us, addressing a wide range of contemporary issues. The Five Solas series will help you understand the historical and biblical context of the five solas and how to live out the relevance of Reformation theology today. In Christ Alone - The Uniqueness of Jesus as Savior, author and professor Stephen Wellum seeks to recover the insights of the Reformers by focusing on two teachings: the exclusive identity of Christ and his sufficient work. Wellum begins by establishing these doctrines from the storyline of Scripture before considering why the Reformers taught Christ alone and how intellectual shifts over the past five hundred years have created a different cultural context today. He argues that if today's church is to proclaim the same Christ as the Reformers, we must understand and embrace solus Christus with the same clarity, conviction, urgency, and abundance of joy.
