About the Book

What is the endgame of God's transforming work in human beings?



Putting on Christ is the first volume of the Getting Changed trilogy, which offers the first sustained study of New Testament clothing metaphors. This volume examines passages where the apostle Paul speaks of "putting off" the old self and "putting on" the new self to illustrate the past and present spiritual transformation of God's people. Paul also speaks of "putting on" an immortal, brilliant body like Christ's to illustrate the future bodily transformation of God's people. Through these vivid clothing metaphors, Paul hints at a variety of other biblical and cultural images that help us imagine the transformation that God is working within his saints.

Spiritual and bodily transformations take place by--and ultimately for--seeing God in his glory. Yet this promise may feel foreign to many Christians who have been taught to think of God as eternally invisible. Putting on Christ invites readers to biblically explore the ultimate ends for which God created and changes human beings.


About the Author :
William J. Davidson (PhD, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) serves as associate pastor at Tabernacle Church of Norfolk, Virginia, where he lives with his family. He and his wife Sarah studied at Wheaton College Graduate School and later served as missionaries in Paraguay for four years. His work centers on biblical spirituality.

Review :
"Davidson's ground-breaking work offers a comprehensive and compelling account of mind renewal that engages the imagination and leads to a Christ-centered spirituality and lasting transformation."
--Brian S. Rosner, Director of Research, Ridley College, Melbourne

"Moving skillfully through Paul and the wider New Testament witness, [Davidson] demonstrates that [clothing] images are not decorative but central to apostolic teaching about discipleship and sanctification. Readers who follow Davidson's study will gain a richer vision of what it means to 'put on the Lord Jesus Christ' and to grow into the likeness of the One we follow."
--Douglas Sean O'Donnell, Senior Vice President of Bible Editorial, Crossway

"Readers will find themselves better equipped to use what we could call biblical, theological, and ethical 'fashion discourse' in our descriptions of the path of transformation into Christlikeness. This first installment of a trilogy is both scholarly and spiritually stimulating."
--Vincent Bacote, Wheaton College

"Fashion never goes out of style, but surprisingly, there have been no book-length studies of the clothing metaphor in the apostle Paul, in particular, his idea of 'putting on' or 'being clothed with' Christ--until now. . . . [We] all owe a big thanks to William Davidson for providing this thorough survey and exploration of this important metaphor for describing the disciple's life in Christ."
--Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Blanchard Professor of Systematic Theology, Litfin Divinity School, Wheaton College
