Description
The Person of Christ was first published by Gospel Tract Publications in 1981 and has been freshly typeset and reprinted for readers who value sound teaching on the Lord Jesus Christ.
The book considers thirteen aspects of His Person, moving from His pre-existence, deity, and eternal Sonship through His incarnation, perfect servant character, impeccability, moral glories, atonement, resurrection, ascension, present ministry, second coming, and millennial reign.
With contributions from several respected writers, this volume offers variety, depth, and broad scriptural coverage of this glorious subject.
About this Book
Albert McShane was born in Kilmore, near Lurgan, Northern Ireland, in 1914. He trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation at the age of 14 and was subsequently baptised and received into fellowship in the Kilmore assembly. Beginning his gospel work in 1944, he went on to devote over fifty years to preaching and teaching the Word of God.
Widely respected as a gifted Bible teacher and expositor, he was known for explaining difficult passages of Scripture with remarkable clarity. He conducted Bible readings and ministered at conferences throughout Northern Ireland and abroad. A prolific writer, he authored numerous biblical commentaries, including contributions to the What the Bible Teaches series, and assembly magazines.
Harold S. Paisley was a highly respected evangelist, Bible teacher and faithful servant of the Lord, originally from Northern Ireland. His gospel ministry extended across the British Isles and North America, where he became widely known for his earnest preaching and Christ-centred exposition of Scripture. Following numerous visits to Canada, he moved there with his wife and family in 1966, making it a base for his continuing service.
His preaching was characterised by simplicity, sincerity and a deep concern for the salvation of souls. Many came to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ through his gospel meetings, while believers were encouraged by his warm, devotional ministry and evident love for the Saviour. Known for his kindness, generosity and personal interest in others, he was equally appreciated in the home and on the platform. His faithful service and Christ-exalting ministry left a lasting spiritual influence upon assemblies and individuals throughout the English-speaking world.
John Stubbs (d. 2019) was born into a Christian family in County Durham, England, and was saved at the age of eleven. Received into assembly fellowship at twelve, he was commended to full-time service for the Lord in 1965, initially labouring in Malaysia before returning to the UK in 1969. He subsequently served in Scotland and travelled widely throughout the British Isles, Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada, preaching the gospel and teaching God's Word.
A respected Bible teacher and Christian author, his writings include Is the Bible the Word of God?, Misunderstood Texts of Holy Scripture and The Person of Christ, alongside commentaries on Numbers and Zechariah in the What the Bible Teaches series. He also contributed regularly to assembly magazines, leaving a legacy of faithful biblical teaching and Christian service.
Norman Crawford was a respected evangelist, Bible teacher and Christian author whose faithful ministry extended throughout North America and overseas. Saved as a young man during gospel meetings in Toronto, Canada, he was deeply moved by the truth of Christ's substitutionary death. At eighteen, he was commended to full-time gospel service by assemblies in the Toronto area, devoting his life to preaching the gospel and teaching God's Word.
His evangelistic labours included pioneering gospel work in Michigan, Ohio and beyond, resulting in many souls being saved and new assemblies established. Known for his warm, Christlike character and careful exposition of Scripture, he was also deeply committed to local assembly testimony. He authored The Gospel of Luke in the What the Bible Teaches series and Gathering Unto His Name, an influential study of assembly principles. He also served for many years as editor of Truth & Tidings. His life and ministry reflected a deep love for the Saviour and a genuine care for the Lord's people.
Phillip Harding was born and raised in Port Talbot, South Wales, and was saved at the age of nineteen in 1951. He was received into assembly fellowship in Port Talbot, later moving to Skelmanthorpe, Yorkshire, where he was commended to full-time service for the Lord in 1969.
His early ministry included gospel campaigns, tent missions and tract distribution throughout Wales. He subsequently travelled extensively throughout the UK, Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Botswana, preaching the gospel and teaching God's Word. A respected Bible teacher and Christian author, he wrote on 2 Timothy and contributed to The Person of Christ, alongside numerous articles for assembly magazines. His commentaries on Obadiah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai and Malachi form part of the What the Bible Teaches series, reflecting his commitment to careful exposition of Scripture.
Sydney Maxwell was saved at the age of sixteen in Newtownards, Northern Ireland, in 1935, through the truth of Romans 5:6. From an early stage in his Christian life, he developed a deep love for the gospel and a desire to share the message of salvation with others.
Widely respected as a gifted evangelist and Bible teacher, he devoted over 45 years to preaching the gospel and ministering God's Word. Known for his stirring, Christ-centred preaching and passion for souls, he conducted numerous gospel campaigns and ministry meetings, faithfully serving the Lord and encouraging believers throughout his life.
William Edwy Vine (1873–1949) was an English biblical scholar, theologian and author, best known for his Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words.
