The Lord of Glory - Benjamin B. Warfield

In his scholarly 1907 work, The Lord of Glory, Benjamin B. Warfield investigates the diverse designations of Jesus found throughout the New Testament to demonstrate a unified witness to His deity. The text operates as both a detailed exegesis of titles—such as "Son of Man," "Son of God," and "Lord"—and a theological argument that even the most incidental linguistic choices of the biblical authors reveal a profound conviction that Jesus was a supernatural, divine person. Warfield begins by meticulously analyzing the Synoptic Gospels, starting with the Gospel of Mark, to show how the transition from simple honorifics to specifically Messianic titles reflects an understanding of Jesus as a being who transcends the angelic realm and participates in the glory of Jehovah. By tracing these names through Matthew, Luke, and the Epistles, the author aims to prove that the deity of Christ is not a later theological development but a primitive Christian reality present in the very "solution" of the scriptural narratives. Ultimately, the work seeks to illustrate that the titles used for Jesus are not mere labels of office, but profound affirmations of His heavenly origin and divine nature.This podcast was created with the assistance of AI.
