Among them is the hitherto unpublished work, ‘Jesus, the Son of God’, which is possibly his last piece of theological writing. Its chief characteristic – as with all of Murray’s writings – lies in the way in which the text of Scripture suffuses everything he says. This concern to be thoroughly biblical applied also to his doctrine of Scripture, to Christology, and to his understanding of the proclamation of the gospel and the Christian ethic. Outstanding articles in each of these areas may be found in these pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Murray was a systematic theologian\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003epar excellence\u003c\/em\u003e.

Major theological works influence teachers, students, ministers, and eventually the entire Christian church. For this reason Professor Murray’s discussions of the writings of such influential figures as Karl Barth, Emil Brunner and G. C. Berkouwer are of lasting value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAuthor\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Murray\u003c\/strong\u003e, born shortly before the cusp of the 20th century in Scotland, was considered a leading Reformed theologian.
