Great book covering the person and work of Christ. These are sermons preached at Shepherds Conference 2017. The theme was We Preach Christ.
There are some real mountaintops among these 23 authors. All are solid biblical truth but for me a half dozen stood out. Among them was Son of God Son of Man by Paul Twiss, Kenosis by Mike Riccardi, John 14:6 by Miguel Nunez, and The Atonement by Matthew Barrett. Yep, taller (to me) than the recognizable names we’re familiar with. Near the end of the book Paul Washer brought a passionate sermon to written form that will increase your heart rate and motivate your zeal for Christ.
This is an excellent source on a variety of important doctrines and aspects of the Christian faith. You can read cover to cover or skip around. But you should read it. It will cause you to love Christ more or reveal you just don’t really love Him as you thought.

This is a collection of essays by several authors/preachers who preached the same respective messages at the Shepherds’ Conference 2017. Each chapter/author covers a specific work or person of Jesus. It is a great overview of who Christ is, a topic we Christians need to devote more time to study. My favorite chapters are the ones by Abner Chou and Paul Washer. If at all possible, I recommend listening to the sermons (available for free at https://www.gracechurch.org/sermons/e...) that provide a better glimpse of the preachers’ passion for Christ.

This is an excellent collection of sermon-essays on "the Person and Work of Jesus," as the subtitle says. Theologically, this collection is rich. I find it filling both devotionally and intellectually. The contributors include many well known pastors and teachers in the Church.
This book could be re-read in part or in whole many times with great profit.
Also, it is an attractive and well-bound volume.

[Note: This book was provided free of charge by Moody Publishers. All thoughts and opinions are my own.]
When one reads books that are a compilation of religiously themed essays and papers [1], one does not always know what one is going to get. Are the essays going to be cohesive and form a unified whole? Are the essays going to be biblical, towing a strong line when it comes to sound biblical exegesis? Are the essays going to be enjoyable to read and thought-provoking? Fortunately, the answers to such questions for this book are at least mostly yes on all counts. To be sure, I do not agree with everything that is in this book, and there are at least a few important aspects of Jesus Christ that are missing from this book, but by and large I found this to be a powerful book that makes a strong defense of a biblical view of Jesus Christ that takes into consideration the whole Bible and that is strongly polemical against certain negative aspects of contemporary society and culture. I had guarded expectations going into this book, but they were met and considerably exceeded by what I found inside.
This book consists of 22 essays by various authors [2] divided into four parts. The first part of the book consists of eight essays that deal with the person of Christ. After that there are five essays that deal with the work of Christ. The third part of the book consists of four essays on the Word of Christ, and the book closes with six essays on the witness to Christ in our contemporary society. There are a few qualities that make this such a cohesive book as a whole despite its varied contributors. For one, each of the essays takes as its text a short biblical passage with strong messianic overtones or implications or outright statements. For another, many of the authors have a similar approach to the text. In particular, the various essays show a strong polemical flavor and a certain similar tendency to make non sequitor Trinitarian appeals to simplicity that demonstrate a common perspective among the many authors despite their varied backgrounds.
By and large, I found this book to be excellent and I was definitely intrigued by the way the authors leaned into the issue that being genuinely biblical would at all times create problems with mainstream society because of the ways in which the Bible provides a strong rebuke for societies regardless of what particularly characteristic vices and favored sins they have. Yet although the essays were in general very excellent and demonstrated considerable depth of understanding and a recognition of the complex meanings and layers of the original text, there were at least a couple of aspects of Jesus Christ whose absence I found somewhat troubling, namely that no one thought to write about Jesus Christ as the Lord of the Sabbath (a statement so notable it appears in the three synoptic Gospels) or about how James shows Jesus as the Lord of Sabaoth (hosts) prepared to avenge Himself against those who have become wealthy through injustice and exploitation. Surely such aspects of Jesus Christ as Lord of Heaven ought to be remembered among many other aspects. Anyway, although I was struck by what was missing and not necessarily in agreement with everything that was said, overall this book is an excellent one and a worthy addition to the reading material of any seminarian or Protestant scholar on Christology.

I've got to admit, the title for this book is fantastic (or conversely, annoying) because I had Be Thou My Vision playing in my head every time I opened this book. Talk about a catchy title!
High King of Heaven is basically a book on Christ. There are 23 chapters by 23 pastors and theologians, including John MacArthur. The book is organised into four parts: the person of Christ, the work of Christ, the word of Christ, and the witness of Christ, with each chapter focusing on a specific topic, such as Christ in the Old Testament, the atonement, Christ’s relationship with God the Father, etc.
According to another reviewer (Doug on Goodreads), these essays are from the sermons preached at the 2017 Shepherd’s Conference. Since I didn’t listen to the sermons, all the essays were new to me. And with 23 essays, there’s a lot of material in here. There are some good parts, like a clear explanation of the Arian heresy, and the chapter on how Jesus read the Old Testament using a literal-grammatical-historical hermeneutic.
Then there are some things don’t ring true. There’s a statement that there’s “no extra-biblical evidence that Caesar Augustus ever called for an empire-wide census” and that “there is uncertainty that Quirinius was a Roman governor in Syria as early as 6 to 2BC”, and the Joseph didn’t need to return argument as though these are facts when there are also arguments to the contrary. I feel that at the very least, they should present both sides.
There’s also a statement that “in the early Church, there was no political activism. Rather, there was preaching and prayer.” I suppose this depends on what you define as political activism, but religion was a very integral part of being a Roman citizen, which means that the early Church was making a political stand just by believing in Christ. So I don’t really agree with wording that makes it seem like early Christianity was 100% apolitical.
Most importantly, this book writes from the Calvinist viewpoint, which isn’t disclosed (it might be in the introduction but that wasn’t in my review copy). This was most obvious in the chapter of definite atonement, which completely leaves out general atonement. Unsurprisingly, this was the most unconvincing chapter to an Arminian like me.
Given the narrow theological perspective here, I wouldn’t recommend this book as the book on Christology or even an introductory book to Christology, even if you are a Calvinist because I believe it’s important for us believers to know about Christianity as a whole because people do ask about these differences. It is, however, a pretty decent book on the subject and contains some good points, so I would recommend reading it along with other books.

In High King of Heaven, several contributors point to the One who is worthy of that sort of awe.
Edited by John MacArthur, the book features 23 essay-like chapters about Jesus Christ. Each chapter leads readers to wonder and worship. The chapters are organized by theme, the categories being:
• The Person of Christ
• The Work of Christ
• The Word of Christ
• The Witness to Christ
As each chapter is written by a different contributor, readers get to experience a tiny taste of what it will be like to hear Christ praised by a multitude of voices. Some contributors are pastors, others are professors or educational administrators. Many have served or are serving as missionaries. Their voices are diverse, but all unify around the central goal of praising the Most High.
Quotes from the book include:
“When Christ alone is faithfully preached, the world will see His glory. That is the only light that will drive out and overcome all darkness.” –Michael Reeves
“I’m glad, as painful as it is to say this, that God has given me more than I can handle at times because those are the precious times when I’ve come to a tipping point in my ministry and simply fallen on my knees.” –Mark Jones
“The Shepherd will not send a telegram with instructions on the best way to get back home. The Good Shepherd Himself will go out and find us.” –Ligon Duncan
“The cross was not a human accident but a divine appointment.” -Steven J Lawson
“One remarkable feature about Jesus was how frequently He spoke about who He was as opposed to what He was doing.” –Miguel Nunez
“Error always has room for the truth, but the truth has no room for error.” –Miguel Nunez
“It’s not prideful for the sun to be at the center of our solar system because it’s meant to be that way.” –Mark Dever
There are too many wonderful, enlightening, and worshipful quotes to pull from the book concisely.
You don’t need a degree in theology to appreciate High King of Heaven. Each chapter will increase your understanding to increase your awe.
Although I typically try to write reviews simply so you can decide whether it’s a read for you or not, this is one I just have to recommend—read it yourself.

A special thanks to Moody Publishers for sending me a complimentary copy of John MacArthur’s book, High King of Heaven.
From eternity past to eternity future, High King of Heaven, as is written on the front cover, seeks to honor Christ by offering theological and practical perspectives on both His Person and work. Some of the contents include His eternality, relationship with the Father, virgin birth, life and ministry, view on Scripture interpretation, death and resurrection, and even His final coming which we all long to see. This book is one of the most Christ-exalting books I have read in a long time – and I have read a lot of books!
This is the thirty-eighth book I have read this year, and it has been moved to the top of my favorite’s list. Apart from God’s Word, I do not normally read books over again after I have finished them. However, I am both confident and excited to say that this is one of those books I will read again someday and reference often.
One of the major advantages this book has to offer is the number of men who contributed to its content. As the reader, you have the privilege of both hearing and learning from twenty-three men who have invested their lives in the study of God’s revelation. Each essay stands firm on the deep theological truths of Scripture and offers practical insights into our everyday lives.
I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone who wants to know more about Christ. If you are a teacher of God’s Word in any capacity, then you need this book. As a believer in Christ, you will only benefit from reading High King of Heaven.

I loved this book so much. It was so good for my spiritual soul. I loved the title of this book so much. With such a rich history I almost don't feel qualified to review this wonderful book! Although I will try to do it justice.
High King of Heaven is a book all about Jesus Christ. There are 23 different chapters written by 24 different theologians and pastors. The book is organized into four different parts; the person of Christ, the work of Christ, the word of Christ, and the witness of Christ. Then each chapter dives in deeper to a more specific topic like Christ in the Old Testament, Christ’s relationship with God the Father, etc.
It is important to note that this book is written from a Calvinist viewpoint. Which isn’t made clear or disclosed in the beginning. Which wasn’t an issue for someone like me but might bother other readers.
The cover is just as beautiful as the inside works. The print was a great choice and the hardcover is quite heavy. My arm got tired carrying it around but it was a fantastic conversation starter about theology with both believers and nonbelievers.

This book is a collection of 23 essays by different authors on topics about Jesus the Messiah and Son of God. While several of the authors assumed the reader is a pastor or in ministry, many of the essays were easy to understand even though they dealt with theology. There were a few essays that were very academic in tone, though. Some of the essays were purely informative while others were arguments against more liberal positions on the topic. Many brought up cultural background or linked verses from various parts of the Bible to bring out deeper insights.
The essays covered topics like Jesus's "I am" statements, the virgin birth, how Jesus is both fully God and fully human, what it means in Philippians when Jesus is said to have emptied himself, the atonement, the resurrection, the ascension, the second coming, proof that Jesus did intend to have his teachings written down and passed on, how to properly see Jesus in the Old Testament, suffering for Christ, and Christ in Revelations. Overall, I'd recommend this book to Christians who like to dig deeply into the Bible.

A solid collection of sermons about the person and work of Christ. As I understand it, the sermons were first preached at the 2017 Shepherd's Conference (a fact that the book doesn't really make clear). This book has some highs and lows. Given its nature as a collection of sermons from 23 different men, it can be inconsistent in quality and interest, and it doesn't all necessarily flow together well. Several of the sermons are more overtly Calvinistic than I anticipated. Some are a bit too technical to be useful to most preachers. However, some of the chapters had excellent, helpful content. Overall, High King of Heaven is a mixed bag but contains some good sections.
I received a digital copy of this book for free from the publisher and was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I express in this review are entirely my own.

This is a great collection of articles dealing with Jesus. Each author taking an aspect of the meaning of Jesus life and ministry, or the scriptures u understanding of Jesus. In the end showing the Jesus is indeed God incarnate, the pre-existing God, and the High King of Heaven.

As I wrap up this excellent book, I simply want to say that it has been a great read in Christology, giving the exaltation to Christ that He alone and absolutely deserves. It challenged me, encouraged me, exhorted me, and comforted me, and I highly recommend this read. I loved reading Abner Chou's chapter on Christ in the Old Testament. It was such a breath of fresh theological air. Phil Johnson's chapter on the gospel was...well, what I have come to expect and so much appreciate about Johnson. Great content that challenges the reader to get the gospel right. Future students of mine can expect to read several chapters from this wonderful book.
