For those who are seeking the truth, Christ's divinity is well documented in the pages of the Bible-and nowhere more beautifully than in Philippians 2:5-8.
In The Christ in Christian, Dr. Daniel C. Russell takes a close look at these verses-supported by the rest of scripture-to explain the context, confirmation, and conclusion of Christ's divinity. But being a Christian doesn't stop with just knowing that Christ is divine; it requires acting on this knowledge every day. And we can do that by adopting Christ's divine attitudes-selflessness, servanthood, and submissiveness-in our own lives.
After establishing Christ's divinity, Dr. Russell takes the truths of Christ's divine attitudes and breaks them down into tangible ways to live out our faith in everyday situations. He also includes several informal assessments that will help identify the areas we most need to adjust our attitudes to be more like Christ.
The Christ in Christian is a thoughtful, motivational look at Christ's divinity combined with practical, applicable ways to live out Christ's divine attitudes in our relationships with family, friends, coworkers, and strangers-just as Jesus called us to do.
