About the Author
Graeme Goldsworthy (PhD, Union Presbyterian Seminary) served as a lecturer in biblical theology, Old Testament, and hermeneutics at Moore Theological College in Sydney, Australia. He is the author of numerous books, including According to Plan; Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture; and Christ-Centered Biblical Theology.

Nevertheless, Jesus is also more than a man: he is the eternal second person in the Trinity who becomes incarnate. All — both male and female — who are united to Jesus by faith are also considered the sons of God.
