Excerpt from The Heavenly Session of Our Lord: An Introduction to the History of the Doctrine
It was the desire to Verify the closing words of this statement that first prompted the study the results of which are set forth in this book. Additional incentive was given by a remark of a friend to the effect that the words Of the Creed, He sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, had no moral content for him. That remark also led to an enlargement of the scope of the inquiry, so that the objective which I set before myself became the discovery of the opinions which had been held as to the significance in general of the Session Of our Lord at the right hand of the Father, and not merely as to the nature and mode of His heavenly Intercession.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the religious concept of Christ's Heavenly Session, a topic that gained significant importance in the 4th-century Arian controversy. The author analyzes references to the Session in scripture, creeds, and formularies, showing how various Christian writers and theologians interpreted the concept. Detailed examination of the Old Testament and New Testament reveals three primary associations with the idea of session: rest, honor, and sovereignty. The author demonstrates how the doctrine of the Session is intricately connected with Christ's Priesthood and Intercession, showing how the early Church Fathers understood these concepts as part of Christ's redemptive work. The book concludes by considering the broader significance of the Session, highlighting its importance in understanding Christ's divine nature and humanity as well as its implications for Christian worship and living.
