Episode 362: The Son of God Incarnate with Dr. Stephen J. Wellum - Part One

Who is Jesus? How do we explain the uniqueness of both His divine and human nature in an unbelieving world today? How do Enlightenment and postmodern philosophies influence us and prevent us from seeing what the Bible really says about Him?

This week and next we'll be chatting with Southern Baptist Theological Seminary professor, author, and theologian Dr. Stephen J. Wellum about these and other Christological topics from his 2016 book God the Son Incarnate The Doctrine of Christ.

Dr. Stephen Wellum is Editor of The Southern Baptist Journal of Theology and Professor of Christian Theology. Wellum came to Southern Seminary from Associated Canadian Theological Schools and Northwest Baptist Theological College and Seminary where he had taught theology since 1996.
