Book's on Christology

[Jairus]

I am looking for the best works available on the topic. mostly up to date scholarship, but not overly technical. Can you help, as there seems to be quite a bit out there, but just where to start. Also, not looking for a long historical overview
, but more to the tough questions pertaining to the topic.

For starters:
The Work of Christ by Robert Letham
The Person of Christ by Donald Macleod
Jesus is Lord by Donald Macleod

 

[Jairus]

What about "The Word Became Flesh: A Contemporary Incarnational Christology
Millard J. Erickson"

Thoughts?

Rushdoony shows how deviant Christologies degenerate their societies. Does a good job showing how Chalcedonian christology permeates all of life.

What about "The Word Became Flesh: A Contemporary Incarnational Christology
Millard J. Erickson"

Thoughts?

My reading of portions of that book suggest that he is not Reformed. He followed a more Lutheran view (a kenosis Christology), if my memory serves me right.

Thank you Casey, as I want to steer clear of Kenosis Christologies.

Joel Beeke lists a variety of recommended works on Christology from the 17th to the 20th centuries in A Reader's Guide to Reformed Literature under the following headings:

The Deity of Jesus Christ
Christ's Two Natures in One Person
Salvation in Christ as High Priest
Christ's Intercession

 

[Thomas2007]

In my opinion, there really isn't a better book on this subject than The Foundations of Social Order by RJ Rushdoony.

Not sure what you are after, but here is a good article by Lane on Chalcedon. Don't forget Athanasius (Scroll on my blog). A good start is 'Christ the LORD'. Every blessing.
