Full of stories and helpful illustrations, the Christian Belief for Everyone series has been written primarily for ordinary churchgoers, though the guides will no doubt also appeal to interested readers outside the church. In Lord and Saviour, we have the joy of encountering the enigmatic but highly attractive figure of Jesus of Nazareth. Here is someone who entirely understands what it's like to live in our glorious, chaotic, suffering world. But how may we grow in relationship with a person who is both fully human and fully divine? And how does the story of Jesus of Nazareth link up to other important stories, like God's creation of the world, the calling of the people of Israel, and humankind's age-old quest for meaning and significance?

The Christian Belief for Everyone series comprises five guides to the basic ideas of the Christian faith. Full of stories and helpful illustrations, these guides have been written primarily for ordinary churchgoers, though they will no doubt also appeal to interested readers outside the church. The approach Alister McGrath adopts is non-denominational, very similar to the 'mere Christianity' advocated by C. S. Lewis. Indeed, the series may be seen as a guide to 'mere Christianity', focusing clearly as it does on the life of faith. We look at why Christians believe what they do; how we can best understand these ideas, and the difference they make to the way we think about ourselves and our world. This new volume examines the identity and significance of Jesus of Nazareth.

Alister McGrath is Professor of Theology, Ministry and Education, Head of the Centre for Theology, Religion and Culture at King's College, London and a prolific author.

The Good Book Stall

The Lordship of Jesus is never more important theologically and this is top-class summary that helps all with compelling conviction about the uniqueness of Jesus.

McGrath is a consummate guide in this accessible sweep of goodness, glory and grace of Jesus. The beauty, meaning and significance of God incarnate is well explored here. Some of the big theological rocks in the faith are covered well here, but it's the incarnation particular that for me gets best exploration in this exploration of the identity of Jesus.

Creedal roots, aspects of Marks gospel, and compact gospel precision make for a great project by SPCK and McGrath together. It reads with the compactness of twitter and the faithfulness of Jesus, the "joy of every longing heart." What’s not to love about this!
