‘I am alive forevermore’ – Rev. 1:18
In this landmark work, a leading theologian presents one of the most significant studies on the doctrine of the Ascension in many years.
Peter Toon explores fully all aspects of the Ascension: Its foreshadowing in the Old Testament, accounts of the Ascension from the New Testament, and church teachings on the doctrine through the ages. Drawing on the work of the world’s most respected theologians, Toon shows that ‘the Ascension inaugurates a new age’ in which Christ began a new ministry as ‘King, Priest, and Prophet.’
Marked by clarity and penetrating scholarship, The Ascension of Our Lord is a valuable resource for pastors and all students of the Bible.
