Prophet, Priest, & King - by R Albert Mohler Jr (Hardcover)

About the Book

One of the tensions in contemporary evangelicalism involves an unease over what it means for us to proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord and King. This latest work by R. Albert Mohler, Jr. helps Christians remain grounded in Christ, being thoroughly informed by his prophetic, priestly, and kingly offices.

Book Synopsis

In this book, theologian R. Albert Mohler Jr. delves into the historical significance of the offices of prophet, priest, and king. He traces their origins in the Old Testament to their ultimate fulfillment in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Mohler presents a compelling argument: the three offices should not be compartmentalized. They are interconnected and essential for Christian faithfulness in the home, the church, and society. When Jesus Christ returns, the whole world will bow to him as Lord--Prophet, Priest, and King.
