How to Explain the Hypostatic Union to a Fifth Grader (Stephen Wellum)

In today's episode, Stephen Wellum walks through the complex doctrine of the hypostatic union sharing wisdom and bringing clarity to the church.

Stephen J. Wellum is a professor of Christian theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, and the author of 'The Person of Christ: An Introduction'. In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology series, Stephen Wellum challenges these claims as he argues for the divinity of Jesus according to Scripture and in line with creedal Christianity. In this brief introduction, we are invited to rejoice in the centrality of Christ—who as both God and man reconciles us to God.
