I am currently reading The Message of Sonship: At Home in God’s Household by Trevor J. Burke in preparation for a sermon that I will be preaching in a couple of weeks.
I am finding it extremely interesting and helpful.
From the introduction: "Sonship is a powerful and striking metaphor but it may not be the first expression that springs to mind when thinking of important biblical themes, so perhaps some justification needs to be given for our study. As we do so, it is worth noting that no full-length book has been written on the theme of sonship from the perspective of biblical theology. This book is not a full-blown study of a biblical theology of sonship but has the more modest aim of serving as a brief introduction to an important and overlooked theme in Scripture." Burke, T. J. (2011). The Message of Sonship: At Home in God’s Household (D. Tidball, Ed.; p. 18). Inter-Varsity Press.
Can you suggest any other books to the topic of sonship (being sons and daughters of God) that might be helpful in my study of this topic. Of course there are a number listed in the bibliography but your recommendations will prove helpful to me. Thank you in advance.
