Book Review: High King of Heaven


                                                                                   BOOK INFORMATION:                                                                  

Featuring contributions from Al Mohler, John MacArthur, Mark Dever, and more

Curating insights from some of America’s greatest Christian minds, High King of Heaven is a series of reflections on Christology, one of the church’s central doctrines. It contains essays from over twenty well-known pastors and theologians, including John MacArthur, Mark Dever, Albert Mohler, Miguel Nuñez, and Ligon Duncan.

Each essay in this collection not only elucidates an aspect of Christ’s person and work, but also demonstrates how it applies to the life of the church. After reading High King of Heaven, readers will:


Have a deeper understanding of Jesus’ nature and redemptive work
Be inspired to worship Christ with greater passion and reverence
Come away motivated and equipped to defend the orthodox view of Christ
Be equipped to better teach and preach about Jesus’ divinity and humanity
Be conversant with current challenges and debates in the area of Christology
There are some subjects you can never out-study, and Christology is one of them. Any Christian who wants a greater appreciation for the work of our Lord and Savior, who wants to worship Him in spirit and truth, and who wants increased confidence in the church’s historic confessions concerning Him will delight in High King of Heaven.

                                                                        MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK                                                              

I loved this book so much. It was so good for my spiritual soul. I loved the title of this book so much. With such a rich history I almost don't feel qualified to review this wonderful book! Although I will try to do it justice. 

High King of Heaven is a book all about Jesus Christ. There are 23 different chapters written by 24 different theologians and pastors. The book is organized into four different parts; the person of Christ, the work of Christ, the word of Christ, and the witness of Christ. Then each chapter dives in deeper to a more specific topic like Christ in the Old Testament, Christ’s relationship with God the Father, etc.

It is important to note that this book is written from a Calvinist viewpoint. Which isn’t made clear or disclosed in the beginning. Which wasn’t an issue for someone like me but might bother other readers.

The cover is just as beautiful as the inside works. The print was a great choice and the hardcover is quite heavy. My arm got tired carrying it around but it was a fantastic conversation starter about theology with both believers and nonbelievers.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from Moody in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
