The Glory of the Ascension: Celebrating a Doctrine for the Life of the Church

Rediscover the Majesty of the Ascended Christ The doctrine of Christ's ascension is often overlooked in the church today, yet it holds profound significance for Christian theology and the Christian life. The Glory of theAscension by theologian Ross Hastings invites readers to rediscover this essential truth. With thoughtful precision, Hastings illuminates the ascension as a celebration of the completed atonement, followed by the intercessory work of the GreatHigh Priest, the continuance of the humanity of Christ, and the reversal of the laying aside of the glory of the eternal Son associated with the incarnation. This inspiring volume offers an evangelical Protestant perspective, connecting the themes ofglory and ascension to the vitality of the church and individual faith. This book:

- Provides an in-depth and constructive theological exploration of a neglected doctrine. - Offers an evangelical Protestant account of the ascension and differentiates it from the atonement. - Connects the ascension to the doctrines of God, Christ, the Spirit, salvation, the church, and eschatology. - Gives an engaging invitation to wonder, worship, and participation in the triunelife of God. This book is ideal for students and professors of theology, pastor theologians, and any Christians seeking theological depth. Discover the beauty of God's glory revealed in the ascended Christ and order The Glory of theAscension today.
