Immanuel, Our King: The Primitive Gospel And The Historical Gospel (1907)

By Joseph Roe Hammond

Book Overview

Immanuel, Our King: The Primitive Gospel And The Historical Gospel is a book written by Joseph Roe Hammond and published in 1907. The book explores the differences between the primitive gospel and the historical gospel, and how these differences have affected the understanding of Immanuel, or Jesus Christ, as the king of the world.The author argues that the primitive gospel, as found in the New Testament, presents Immanuel as a spiritual king who rules over the hearts and minds of his followers. In contrast, the historical gospel, as it developed in the early church, presents Immanuel as a political king who will one day establish a physical kingdom on earth.Hammond examines the biblical texts that support both views, and discusses how the early church fathers interpreted these texts. He also explores the impact that these different understandings of Immanuel have had on Christian theology and practice.Overall, Immanuel, Our King provides a thoughtful and insightful analysis of the different ways that Christians have understood Jesus Christ as the king of the world, and offers a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion of this important theological concept.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
