In The Four Gospels: Jesus, the Hope of the World, Patrick Schreiner demonstrates the critical importance of the gospel narratives, not only as the stories of our Savior, but also as the climax of God's story.

"A contribution to Christology that is as edifying as it is scholarly"This book challenges reductive modern readings of the transfiguration and shows how the mountain scene is not only about Jesus's glory as man but about his glory as God."Schreiner brilliantly rescues the transfiguration from its undeserved obscurity and second-class status in both biblical studies and dogmatic theology alike. Here is a contribution to Christology that is as edifying as it is scholarly."--Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"Pondered as an isolated event, the transfiguration makes very little sense to us. Schreiner has learned the secret: don't isolate it, but instead read it as having elements of both epiphany and apotheosis, preexistence and consummation, eternal sonship and messianic sonship. A spirited and energetic introduction to this neglected mystery of the life of Jesus."--Fred Sanders, Torrey Honors College, Biola University"The reason this is such an important book is not simply that it is an incredibly insightful treatment of an overlooked aspect of Jesus's life (which it is) but because it demonstrates how the transfiguration deeply enriches our understanding of who Jesus is and who we are in him. This wonderful book will open your eyes to the glory of the Lord Jesus and the glory we will one day share with him."--Peter Orr, Moore Theological College"Christ's transfiguration offers a breadth of theological and exegetical potential. Schreiner helps to unlock this potential by drawing out the transfiguration's canonical, christological, and churchly significance. This primer is sure to benefit many."--Brandon D. Smith, Oklahoma Baptist University; co-founder, Center for Baptist Renewal"Jesus's transfiguration is a fountain of rich theology and a wellspring of joyous hope for contemplation. Schreiner excavates treasures of glory, blessing the church with a sure guide to this momentous and oft-neglected event in the life of our Lord."--L. Michael Morales, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary"This fine contribution encourages us to gaze anew upon Jesus's glory on the mountain. If you've ignored the transfiguration, you'll do so no longer. If you've loved the transfiguration, you'll come to love it still more."--Michael Kibbe, Great Northern University

In The Visual Word, the Bible comes alive because you can see it pictured before your eyes.Don't settle for summaries of the New Testament.

"In a supercharged political climate, Political Gospel explores what it means for Christians to have a biblical public witness by looking to Scripture, the early church, and today. In these pages, we'll see that Christians live in a paradox, and we'll see how to follow Christ our King right into the political craziness of our day." --

Follow Luke's ordered narrative of events in the book of Acts to see how the early church grew "under the plan of God, centered on King Jesus, and empowered by the Spirit."

The Ascension is essential to the gospel The good news of Jesus includes his life, death, resurrection, and future return--but what about his ascension? Though often neglected or misunderstood, the ascension is integral to the gospel. In The Ascension of Christ, Patrick Schreiner argues that Jesus' work would be incomplete without his ascent to God's right hand. Not only a key moment in the gospel story, Jesus' ascension was necessary for his present ministry in and through the church. Schreiner argues that Jesus' residence in heaven marks a turning point in his three-fold offices of prophet, priest, and king. As prophet, Jesus builds the church and its witness. As priest, he intercedes before the Father. As king, he rules over all. A full appreciation of the ascension is essential for understanding the Bible, Christian doctrine, and Christ's ongoing work in the world.
