In recent years many books have been published in the area of Christology (who is Jesus in himself?) and soteriology (what did he do as Saviour?). A number of notable, ecumenical documents on Christian ministry have also appeared. But in all this literature there is surprisingly little reflection on the priesthood of Christ, from which derives all ministry, whether the priesthood of all the faithful or ministerial priesthood. This present work aims to fill that gap by examining, in the light of the Scriptures and the Christian tradition, what it means to call Christ our priest. Beginning with a study of the biblical material, the book then moves to the witness to Christ's priesthood coming from the fathers of the Church, Thomas Aquinas, Luther and Calvin, the Council of Trent, the seventeenth-century 'French School', John Henry Newman, Tom Torrance and the Second Vatican Council. The two concluding chapters describe and define in twelve theses the key characteristics of Christ's priesthood and what sharing in that priesthood, through baptism and ordination, involves.

OTHER DESTINATIONS
St Pauls is sad to announce that we can no longer ship orders to EU countries, including the Republic of Ireland. Customers in the Republic of Ireland can visit our Irish website - www.stpauls.ie - for St Pauls located in Maynooth, Co. Kildare. You can also email enquiries to them at sales@stpauls.ie. With Great Britain's exit from the EU customs union, deliveries to the EU became increasingly unreliable to the point where we, reluctantly, had to cease trading with European customers. If you are located outside of the UK and EU and you are interested in our products, please email us at sales@stpauls.org.uk for a quote on posting to your destination. After receiving a quotation from us, payment will be taken over the phone or by bank transfer prior to shipping. We would like to thank all our Irish and EU customers for their support over the years and we hope one day we can return to serving you all again."

CUSTOMS CHARGES (VAT, IMPORT DUTIES, CUSTOMS HANDLING CHARGES)
If you are ordering goods for delivery outside of the UK, your consignment may be subject to import duties/taxes, customs handling charges/fees and import VAT. ST PAULS has no control over these additional charges in relation to customs clearance in the country of destination, and, by placing your order, you are accepting responsibility for the payment of any additional duties, taxes or fees once the goods have reached their country of destination. ST PAULS recommends that—prior to placing an order— you check with your local customs officials or postal service for more information regarding all importation taxes and duties that may be applied to the goods you are about to import. As the customer, you will be the importer of record and responsible for any import VAT, duties and handling fees that may require payment before a carrier releases any goods destined to you.
