Description
Is Jesus Christ really Lord of the twentieth-century world where scientific achievement is worshiped, economic pressures control daily life, and permissive attitudes set low moral standards? In answer to this vital question, Peter Toon challenges today's narrow and shallow view of Christ as Lord. Exploring the meaning of Lordship as written in the New Testament and the implications of Christ's ascension as proclaimed in creeds for many centuries, Toon presents a broader, more powerful view of Jesus as Lord of the nations, Lord of the church, Lord of the universe, and Lord of the Christian's life. For everyone concerned about the complex pressures and powerful forces that work to deny the Lordship of Jesus Christ in today's world, Toon affirms that "the Lord of the cosmos, human history, and the church is my Lord because by faith I am united in him."
