How can Jesus of Nazareth radically affect us, as persons, to the depths of our being? How can he reach out over the great span of time that divides us from him and change us so profoundly that we become \"new creatures\" in him? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The answer, according to the Apostle Paul, lies in the fact that Jesus Christ enters into union with us. Lewis B. Smedes believes that union with Christ is at once the center and circumference of authentic human existence. \u003ci\u003eUnion with Christ\u003c\/i\u003e is Smedes' probing and sustained exegetical study of what Paul means when he speaks of our being in Christ and Christ being in us. Hailed as \"a thoughtful, discerning, and thoroughly scriptural study\" when it was first published in 1970 under the title \u003ci\u003eAll Things Made New\u003c\/i\u003e, the book has been greatly streamlined in this edition. By judiciously cutting away what now strikes him as \"scholarly clutter,\" Smedes has produced a carefully condensed version of his earlier work while retaining its basic substance.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e(1921-2002) Was professor emeritus of theology and ethics at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California.
