‘Prophet, Priest, & King: The Three Offices of Christ’ anchors readers in Jesus amid secular world
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., March 3, 2025 — Followers of Jesus Christ experience daily tensions created by the post-Christian, secular environment around us. R. Albert Mohler, Jr. knows this reality well through his roles as seminary president, program host and editor.
Yet, as his latest release from B&H Publishing Group reminds us, when our faith is grounded in Christ and thoroughly informed by his prophetic, priestly and kingly offices, we need not be shaken by the subversions of the modern world.
In “Prophet, Priest, & King: The Three Offices of Christ,” Mohler shows the offices of Christ are interconnected and essential for Christian faithfulness in the home, the church and society.
“Prophet, Priest, & King” draws from the full scope of God’s Word and takes readers on a journey through church history. Mohler underscores the importance of all three offices and how integral they are to the Christian faith—in the past and today.
Mohler weaves theological, cultural, historical and personal themes to encourage readers and point them to our ultimate future.
When Jesus Christ returns, the whole world will bow to him as Lord—”Prophet, Priest, & King.”
