Union in Christ: A Declaration for the Church

Though not an official Church statement Union in Christ is, nevertheless, a considered statement of faith and worthy of study and reflection by thoughtful Christians. Indeed, as such it stands in a long line of faith statements in the Reformed tradition... while not a statement of the whole Church, Union in Christ is a declaration of faith that has grown out of a significant gathering of Presbyterians. It is an important contribution to the Church's ongoing conversation about its faith and life. The commentary and study questions will be useful to the whole Church as it seeks to grow in faith, hope, and love." --from the introduction by Joseph Small, Director, Office of Theology and Worship, PCU.S.A. "This superb, beautifully written book is an explanation of the believer's union with Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. The doctrine of union with Christ and Christ's life in us was central to the teaching of John Calvin about regeneration and justification, election and resurrection, for it is union with him and his union with us that links everything in the Christian life together. In and through him we become children of the heavenly Father, and share his life and love in the communion of the Holy Trinity. This is timely declaration for the Church today, for it puts proper evangelical and triniitarian belief back in the center of the Church's life, and union with Christ clothed with his Gospel to its place of power in the daily witness and of the Church."--The Very Rev. Professor Thomas F. Torrance
