Praise for this book

"Representing Christ provides both a historical and theological framework for understanding this almost forgotten concept, the priesthood of all believers. Anizor and Voss offer a masterful analysis and application of priesthood that is rooted deeply in the Scriptures. Their reflections of both clerical and lay priesthood situate this idea as a connection between liturgy as worship and mission. Their christocentric-trinitarian paradigm also provides practical suggestions for local churches to live out the call to priesthood in the fullest sense of missio Dei. Representing Christ will be required reading for my students and should be for all those committed to participating in the work of Christ's priesthood in the church and world."--Elizabeth Gerhardt, professor of theology and social ethics, Northeastern Seminary, Rochester, NY
"The priesthood of all believers is a phrase that is often cited but a doctrine that rarely receives sustained attention. Representing Christ provides this attention and does so in a way that brings needed theological reflection to this important though neglected subject. It does so with clarity, constructive purpose, and in a manner accessible to all believers."--Kimlyn J. Bender, professor of theology, George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University
"This is an excellent and much needed redemptive-historical and Trinitarian-theological reflection on the ministry of the people of God."--Mark R. Kreitzer, Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies, January 31, 2017
