Jesus is the Subject Matter
By God’s design in terms of the unfolding history of special revelation, which includes the emergence of the New Testament canon with its specific shape, Jesus’s person and work, word and deed— his earthly ministry considered in its entirety with its implications— is the subject matter for interpretation and elaboration by the apostles and New Testament writers.
