Church thinkers, teachers, and students have long considered the doctrine of Christ’s priestly ministry basic to the Christian faith. The author sees this Bible truth, with Christ, the one Mediator between God and man, as central to salvation history, from the inception of sin to its final eradication.

This book deals more specifically with Christ’s ministry, beginning with His incarnation, showing its significance in relation to the developing controversy be­tween sin and righteousness, and leading to the final vindication of God and His people.

The author interprets Christ’s ministry as the guiding and controlling factor in the divine work of redemption and judgment, and seeks a comprehensive understanding of the living Christ as a basis for the mission of the remnant church. He is convinced that only as the church understands and relates herself to the living Christ can she proclaim the final message for our day and generation. He seeks to present the subject in such a way that the reader will experience an encounter with the living Christ, man’s one High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary.
