Description: Building on  Covenant and Eschatology: The Divine Drama, this volume is part two of a three-part project surveying essential topics of Christian theology through the lens of covenant. In  Lord and Servant: A Covenant Christology, Michael Horton explores the topics that are generally grouped under the doctrines of God, humanity, and Christology. Rather than attempt a general systematic theology, Horton revisits these topics at the places where covenant and eschatology offer the most promising insight and where there is the most contemporary interest and debate.

"Like its predecessor Covenant and Eschatology: The Divine Drama , this second volume of Horton's constructive theological project is a provocative essay in renewing and enriching the Reformed tradition of covenantal theology. Learned, passionate, and vigorous in argument, bold in scope, and full of mature theological and Christian judgment, this book will generate debate and help shape the direction of serious Christian reflection."
--John Webster, University of Aberdeen, Scotland

"This is irenic theology at its best. Horton addresses the perennial issues of God and the self. His defense of views long out of favor in the theological guild may strike some as odd. But most readers will find this book to be a thought-provoking opportunity to reengage the great truths of the Christian faith as they never have before. Reading Horton convinces one that our personal identity in the great drama of God's redemption is more satisfying than the fashionable alternatives. Horton neither shies away from controversy nor fails to listen patiently to those of diverse views. Striking is the manner in which he 'speaks through' so many contemporary voices to lay hold of the faith delivered once and for all."
--Richard Lints, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

"This lively book displays what is lost when we ignore the theological wisdom of our predecessors. I strongly recommend it to Protestant readers for its Reformed content, to Catholics as a neoscholastic hypothesis, and to the Orthodox as a model of 'living tradition' that is both classic and contemporary."
--Bradley Nassie, North Park University, Chicago, Illinois
