We do not read the bible like we used to read it and this, according to Matthew Levering, is not necessarily a good thing. Something has been lost in the way we do exegesis and Levering argues that our exegetical practice has suffered under the strain of a faulty and unbiblical understanding of reality. Levering offers a helpful approach to exegesis without becoming bogged down in overly-complicated hermeneutical theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Oliver Crisp's Divinity and Humanity is a technical and constructive account of Christology that takes its starting point from the Chalcedonian marker that Christ is both 'truly God and truly man'. From here Crisp probes, tests and analyses important doctrines, particularly as they are understood in reference to the relationship between the divinity and humanity of Christ. These include perichoresis or interpenetation, the hypostatic union of Christ, kenotic Christology or self-emptying and the issue of whether or not Christ assumed a sinful nature.
