Telford Work examines some of the most important ways Jesus is "the omega and the alpha"--the end and the beginning. Jesus alone fulfills the divine purpose for all things, brings about the end of the old world's evil and suffering, and begins eternity's new creation. This core conviction is one of the deepest logics that shapes Christian thinking and life. The author offers a unique, big-picture introduction to how Jesus's life and death shape Christian theology and practice and helps readers fully understand Jesus's transformation of all things.

Thirteen chapters present Jesus the Christ borrowing three images of journey. The first is "The Journey of Jesus." This is the story of the historical Jesus told in the four Gospels of the New Testament, the complete story beginning with the high drama of God's Promises to Abraham and continuing with the panoply of Jesus' faith predecessors which culminates with the advent of Jesus. The second is "The Journey About Jesus" during which we probe the significant of Jesus. The journey includes the New Testament witness and details the church's historical movement from rule of faith to ecumenical creed. The third is "The Journey with Jesus." It begins with the admission that knowing Jesus entails far more than knowing or even confessing the church's Christological beliefs. Christology is also learning to know Jesus in the life of discipleship.

Delicate First Steps is just that, the first steps on your walk with Jesus Christ. The difference between this book and others is that as I learn through trials and tribulations, I pass that on to you, my reader.

It’s more important for me to write about the relationship at this point since that has been pivotal in my life. The wisdom and knowledge will follow, but first, you must keep your eyes on our savior Jesus Christ.

Christians today accept that Jesus is God and worship him as part of the Trinity. But what did the New Testament writers say about worshipping Jesus? Did they portray him as God, someone whom we should worship? Or did they see him as a great prophet like Moses or Elijah? Here, James Dunn introduces readers to the key New Testament passages that must be examined when trying to understand this important topic. He argues that we find a clear sense that Jesus enables worship, that Jesus is in a profound way the place and means of worship. Equally, for the first Christians Jesus was seen to be not only the one by whom believers come to God, but also the one by whom God has come to believers.
