Need book recommendations on Christology

[Anton Bruckner]

please, please, please, tell me which books are worth the cost out there (preferably reformed)

 

[Peter]

The Fountain of Life, by John Favel teaches the major doctrines in an experimental and practical way

 

[Anton Bruckner]

thank you very much, and please recommend more if possible.

 

[Peter]

Flavel's is probably the only thing I've read that would remotely qualify as Christological. A study of the ecumenical creeds would be profitable, and of course the reformed creeds. Again, I really enjoyed the Fountain of Life as at the end of every chapter Flavel would delve into the application of all the blessed truths of christs person and offices.

Didn't you just get the BB Warfield 10 volume set? I think it is Volume 4 where he writes on Christology.

 

[ChristopherPaul]

Actually it is volume 3.

Mine were waiting for me at the door when I got home from work last night (thanks to your post on the CBD deal).



You know you don't have to read them in order.

I read Owen in 1992. I thumbed through it today noticing all the exclamation marks I made back then. It was very helpful.

Richard Daniels : The Christology of John owen
http://www.heritagebooks.org/browse.asp?fname=Richard&lname=Daniels

Notes/Description:
The Puritans are often accused of being weak on Christology. In this revision of his doctoral dissertation for Westminster Theological Seminary, Richard Daniels shows how wrong that assessment is. He plumbs the depths of John Owen´s views on Christ, covering His person, natures, offices, and states. Dr. Daniels also relates how Owen taught that believers can have personal communion with Christ. This is a masterful work that will be deeply appreciated by readers who love both the Puritans and their theology.

Yes, but I would not recommend Berkouwer. He is an entry point into neo-orthodoxy.

Joel Beeke has this to say about Berkouwers works on the person of Christ:

Berkouwer's volumes discuss the historical pronouncements of the ecumenical councils and the Reformed confessions as well as the nature, unity and sinlessness of Christ. They provide an in-depth discussion of Christ's work in the states of humiliation and exaltation. While Berkouwer is fully abreast of current theological literature, he is too often influenced by it, and takes a position too moderate or vague on many issues. The value of Berkouwer lies in his grasp of Reformed thinkers and presentation of issues in theology. He asks and begins to answer some of the most difficult questions.
