The Anointed Son

"This is an important and useful book. Many treatments of Spirit Christology evade not only the difficult questions, but also the intriguing pneumatological possibilities that a biblically-grounded Spirit Christology raises. Habets has neither evaded the questions nor missed the opportunities presented. Insightful, constructive, and at times daring, this study seeks to reassert the importance of 'third article theology' for the teaching, proclamation, and mission of the church."

"The work of Myk Habets promises to put New Zealand back on the theological map. This volume not only accomplishes the recovery of Spirit Christology but does so by presenting the state-of-the-question across the spectrum of contemporary Christological debates and then showing how factoring in the Holy Spirit resolves the existing conundrums. Thus we have an excellent supplementary textbook for courses on Christology that at the same time sets forth a constructive theological proposal!"

"After the initial emergence of Spirit Christology some three decades ago, various models from different perspectives have been proposed. In this comprehensive work by Myk Habets we now possess a definitive account of this new approach to the mystery of Christ and the Spirit that will stand as a classic in its own right. Habets advances the conversation with his own constructive proposal that garners biblical, historical, and systematic arguments in demonstration of the rich harvest that was once only a promise."
