“If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” (John 14:7)Jesus is the great stumbling block of faith. It is in him that Christianity finds its uniqueness among the religions of the world. He is the Incarnate Son of God, the unique revelation of the Father. Yet so often, we begin the process of theological formulation not with the person of Jesus, but rather, with philosophical arguments about God’s existence and logical constructions to determine God’s nature.How would our understanding be affected if we instead took Jesus as our starting point for doing theology? In Let’s Start with Jesus, respected biblical scholar Dennis Kinlaw explores this question, revealing answers that are profound. In seeking to describe the nature of the relationship God desires with us, he explores three metaphors―royal/legal, familial, and nuptial―which serve as motifs for his reflection. Taking familiar theological categories, Kinlaw views them through the primary lens of the person and work of Jesus, and finds that Jesus reveals rich pictures of the nature of God, the nature of personhood, the problem of sin, the way of salvation, and finally, the means of sanctification via perfect love. The distilled wisdom of one of this generation’s greatest thinkers. Dr. Kinlaw leads you deep into the inner sanctuary of the Holy Trinity and shows you three distinct persons relating to each other in pure reciprocal love.―Robert E. Coleman, Distinguished Professor of Evangelism and Discipleship, Gordon-Conwell Theological SeminaryEvery time I read something written by Dennis Kinlaw my mind is stimulated and my heart strangely warmed. Let’s Start with Jesus is another important book from a truly gifted man.―Lyle W. Dorsett, Billy Graham Professor of Evangelism, Beeson Divinity School, Samford UniversityKinlaw’s revolutionary approach to doing theology is much more than that―it’s a revolutionary approach to life. Kinlaw locates ultimate purpose in a place the church has almost totally neglected, and he does so graciously, with powerful, tightly reasoned biblical argumentation.

Let's Start with Jesus: A New Way of Doing Theology

Zondervan Academic

Having been a Methodist preacher for more than fifty years, Dennis Kinlaw well knows the challenges and triumphs of pulpit ministry. He also has learned some painful lessons about the preacher's relationship with God. He has learned that a pulpiteer needs more than a good outline and a few brilliant illustrations to communicate the Word. He says, "We must come to the end of ourselves so that the Spirit may work without hindrance in our lives" (p. 124). 
This warm and thoughtful book has been translated into six languages and is used around the world as a basic text for homiletics. Dr. Kinlaw focuses on the preacher's relationship with God and his people, as well as the preacher's own spiritual health. Preaching in the Spirit is a book that inspires and informs preachers from every Christian tradition.

Lectures in Old Testament Theology: Yahweh Is God Alone

Francis Asbury Press

What is God’s will for me? Simply happy holiness.\nIf you would rather turn it around, it is holy happiness. That is what life is supposed to be! Genesis 1–2 is the foundation. This is the reason that the Christian can look at the world in hope even with all its evils and say, “It is not supposed to be that way. What can we do about it?” We have the One who made us for himself and for each other, so we have an obligation to step in and give our lives to help one another.\nDo you know what the word holiness means Biblically? It means wholeness….When the Asbury Revival came in 1970 the thing that impressed me the most about it was the way things became clear. Three questions were answered. Am I right with God? Am I right with my neighbor? Am I right with myself? That is what revival is all about. That is what God wants—our whole being. He wants us to be right with God, with our neighbor and with ourselves. God wants whole people.\nDennis F. Kinlaw (1922–2017) was an evangelist, a pastor, an educator, and an administrator. He served as the president of Asbury College for 18 years, and he founded the Francis Asbury Society to encourage the spread of biblical holiness through evangelism, preaching, and scholarship. His other works include The Mind of Christ, Lectures in Old Testament Theology, This Day with the Master, Prayer: Bearing the World, and Let’s Start with Jesus.
