Canon Creed Christ and Church

Biblical and confessional theology, centred on Christ, for the Church and its mission, until he comes

About Me: I’m the Lecturer in Biblical Theology and Exegesis at Christ College, Sydney. I’m also an elder at Hornsby Presbyterian Church, and a cohost of the Down Under Theology podcast. I’ve spent most of my adult life studying the Bible and still feel I’m only scratching the surface. This website is a place to collect and share things I’ve written in the hope that they might be useful to others.

We Believe is a series of eight major studies of the Christian faith’s primary doctrines as confessed in the Nicene Creed and guided by the Reformed tradition. Each volume presents a biblical and systematic theology of the doctrine, and shows its implications for the church’s worship, life, and mission. From Lexham Academic

Series Introduction (with John McClean)

ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH

The Biblical Doctrine of the Church

BY GUY PRENTISS WATERS

We can better see God’s wise and good plan for the world when we better understand his intentions for the church. One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the nature and purpose of the church. Throughout redemptive history, God has been gathering a people to himself to worship him, to serve one another, and to bring the gospel to the nations.

THE GIVER OF LIFE

The Biblical Doctrine of the Holy Spirit and Salvation

BY J. V. FESKO

God’s Spirit unites believers to Christ, conforms them to his image, and equips them for witness and ministry. In The Giver of Life, J. V. Fesko reflects on the person and work of the Holy Spirit in the application of Christ’s work for the salvation of sinners. Through a combination of biblical, historical, and theological study, Fesko illuminates the blessing of God’s presence with his people.

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

The Biblical Doctrine of the Person and Work of Christ

BY BRANDON D. CROWE

Jesus is the divine Son of God who has taken on human nature in the incarnation. As prophet, priest, and king, he leads his people in a new exodus. In The Lord Jesus Christ, Brandon D. Crowe reflects on Christ’s person and work. Crowe traces christological concerns throughout the Old and New Testaments and church history and then presents systematic and practical implications. Through a combination of biblical, historical, and theological study, Crowe provides a fresh and robust statement of who Christ is and what he has done.
