The Last Adam: A Theology of the Obedient Life of Jesus in the Gosples
Brandon D. CrowePaperback 2017-01-31
What was Jesus doing between his birth and death and how does this relate to salvation? Going beyond the Passion narratives, this book shows how the Gospels present Jesus as the last Adam, whose life of obedience overcomes the sin of the first Adam, and has saving significance.
Publisher Description
:There is much discussion today about how we are to understand the life of Jesus in the Gospels. What was Jesus doing between his birth and death and how does this relate to salvation? This book corrects the Christian tendency to minimize the life of Jesus, explaining why the Gospels include much more than the Passion narratives. Brandon Crowe argues that Jesus is identified in the Gospels as the last Adam whose obedience recapitulates and overcomes the sin of the first Adam. Crowe shows that all four Gospels present Jesus's obedient life as having saving significance.
