Christianity is Christ--not just creed, dogma, religion, or ethic, though it may contain elements of all these. Who Christ is, what He did, and does, and why, and what He yet will do--or in more technical terms, the Person and Work of Christ--these are the stuff of Christianity. And since the work of Christ covers more than His Death--His Incarnation, Life, Teaching, Works, Example, Priesthood and Sacrifice--so Dr. Marshall surveys the whole New Testament and summarizes for us the teaching of its various writers as they develop their central theme.
Ian Howard Marshall (12 January 1934 – 12 December 2015) was a Scottish New Testament scholar.[1] He was Professor Emeritus of New Testament Exegesis at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. He was formerly the chair of the Tyndale Fellowship for Biblical and Theological Research; he was also president of the British New Testament Society and chair of the Fellowship of European Evangelical Theologians. Marshall identified as an Evangelical Methodist. He was the author of numerous publications, including 2005 Gold Medallion Book Award winner New Testament Theology.[2] He died of pancreatic cancer in 2015.[3]
