Review
“Peterson conducts a full-orbed tour of Christology, particularly
highlighting the often neglected role of Christ's resurrection in our
salvation. Peterson writes with a pastor’s heart, as is evident in the
biblical fidelity and remarkable clarity that marks this work.”
—Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“Robert
Peterson has produced a comprehensive study of Christ’s saving work
that puts the cross at the center, but also shows how it is part of a
wider plan. He shows how the atonement must be seen in the context of
Christ’s whole life and ministry without compromising the essential
truth of his penal substitutionary sacrifice for us. This is a
refreshing and insightful study, which is much needed at the present
time and deserves to be widely read.”
—Gerald Bray, Distinguished Professor of Historical Theology, Knox Theological Seminary
“Dr.
Peterson told me in correspondence, ‘my work is not [systematic
theology] as much as laying biblical foundations for systematics.’ Well,
people can define terms as they like. But I think Salvation Accomplished by the Son
is systematic theology at its very best. It deals with doctrines of
systematic theology by bringing them into closest proximity with the
biblical texts that justify them. That is the kind of systematics of
which we need much more. To explore any question about Jesus’s
incarnation, atonement, or resurrection, this is the book to which,
after Scripture itself, I would turn first.”
—John M. Frame, J. D. Trimble Chair of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida
“At
the heart of evangelicalism is the simple affirmation ‘Jesus saves.’
Theologian Robert Peterson shows us that this affirmation is both simple
enough for a child’s faith and profound enough for a scholar’s
erudition. In this sweeping and comprehensive study, Peterson not only
unpacks the full scope of Christ’s saving work, from first advent to
second; he pastorally applies this to the believer so that the result is
not bone-dry theology, but heart-melting doxology. I left this book
with a new desire to sing, ‘Jesus saves!’”
—Sean Michael Lucas, Senior Minister, The First Presbyterian Church, Hattiesburg, Mississippi
“At
the center of Christianity is a crucified and risen Savior—a person,
event, and picture so profound and massive, we have the sixty-six books
of the Bible to unpack it. In this book, trusted and reliable guide
Robert Peterson leads us deep into the rich contours of the atoning work
of Christ. This is theology as it’s supposed to be: biblically informed
at every turn, historically aware and enriched, culturally engaged, and
pastorally presented—all leading us to worship the slain and risen
Lamb.”
—Stephen J. Nichols, Research Professor of Christianity and Culture, Lancaster Bible College
“Nothing
should be of greater interest to a believer than the person and work of
Jesus Christ. The precious and intricate theology involved in salvation
and the glory and nature of Christ excite the deepest affections. In
Robert Peterson’s Salvation Accomplished by the Son you will
find the most satisfying food for your soul as he navigates the riches
of christology and soteriology with deep insight and piercing
simplicity. These pages have fueled my worship and motivated my love for
Jesus. Read this book and you will bask in the glory of the Son.”
—Rick Holland, Senior Pastor, Mission Road Bible Church, Prairie Village, Kansas
“Robert
Peterson has given us a wonderful summation of the Bible’s witness to
the Son’s saving work. This book is methodical, thorough, and
accessible. It skirts atonement theories and fashionable trends to get
at Christ’s atoning actions and roles. We learn that the gospel message
is not flat and simplistic but multi-dimensional, nuanced, and rich.
This book is an extended embodiment of the ancient invitation to ‘behold
the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.’”
—Robert W. Yarbrough, Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary
“There
are many works dealing with Christ’s work of redemption, usually
focusing on Jesus’s dying on the cross to save his people from their
sins. While this is an important aspect of Christ’s saving work, it is
not the complete picture. Dr. Peterson, in examining nine saving events
of Christ and six scriptural aspects of his work, presents a more
complete picture of Christ’s saving work. This study not only presents
Christ’s work with careful exegesis, but also magnifies the grace and
mercy of God as they are seen in Christ’s work of salvation. This is a
valuable and important contribution to soteriology.”
—Van Lees, Pastor, Covenant of Grace Church, St. Charles, Missouri
