Beschreibungen
Jesus rose from the dead, and that makes a difference in our lives here and now. The Christian faith is not just about the past or about the future. We are a new creation in Christ. The gospel is about reconciliation, union with Christ, and participation in Christ.
In Life in Christ, all aspects of the life of Christians, in the church and world, are addressed from the perspective that we are in Christ. In doing so, Burger builds bridges between different Christian traditions.

“What does it mean to find one’s identity in Christ? What does it mean to live in union with him—to be ‘in’ Christ? Hans Burger has wrestled deeply and carefully with these questions of Christ-centered identity as both a pastor and a theologian for more than a decade. I’m so grateful that his pastoral wisdom, theological precision, and historical depth are now being made available to an English-speaking audience. This book is a gift for those seeking a deeper and richer union with Christ.”

<br> “Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s question ‘Who is Jesus Christ for us today?’ is as relevant and urgent in the twenty-first century as it was in the twentieth. The short answer is: he is our life. What the world needs now is a longer answer that would explain how a first-century Palestinian Jew is the way, truth, and flourishing life for the whole human race. Burger rightly argues that the gospel is about life in Christ, and he wisely insists on the importance of recovering the whole story, person, and work of Christ for understanding God and ourselves.”
