About this book: The Eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ:
“The Eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ” is a theological work by Joseph Charles Philpot that defends the traditional Christian doctrine of the eternal Sonship of Jesus Christ. The book was written in response to challenges to this doctrine from within the Strict Baptist and Reformed communities.
In the book, Philpot argues that Jesus Christ has eternally existed as the Son of God, and that this eternal Sonship is a necessary part of the Christian understanding of the Trinity. He draws extensively on Scripture to support his arguments, examining passages from both the Old and New Testaments to show how they point to the eternal Sonship of Christ.
Philpot also responds to various objections to the doctrine of the eternal Sonship, including the argument that it implies a subordination of the Son to the Father. He argues that this is not the case, and that the eternal Sonship of Christ is fully consistent with the equality and unity of the persons of the Trinity.
Throughout the book, Philpot emphasizes the importance of sound doctrine and the need to defend traditional Christian teachings against challenges and distortions. He argues that the doctrine of the eternal Sonship is a crucial part of the Christian faith, and that any departure from this doctrine is a departure from the true faith.
Overall, “The Eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ” is a detailed and rigorous defense of the traditional Christian doctrine of the eternal Sonship of Christ. It is a valuable resource for theologians and students of Christian doctrine, as well as for anyone interested in understanding this important aspect of the Christian faith.
