Top Highlights
“The Arians professed great adoration for Christ, even acknowledging His preexistence, but, believing Him to be a creation of God, they rejected the truth of His eternal preexistence. In more recent times the controversy has been with the Socinians and their successors, the Unitarians, all of whom have sought to retain the worthy name Christian while dishonoring the One whose name they espouse.” (Pages 9–10)
“The Socinian distinction between the words deity and divinity and their claim that Christ was not deity but was divinity only in the sense that He partook of divine elements must be rejected.” (Page 9)
“Fifth, the Angel of Yahweh promised to do what only deity can do” (Page 19)
“Second, the Angel of Yahweh was addressed as deity” (Page 18)
“The first step in the proof that the Lord Jesus Christ has had equal and rightful place in the Godhead is taken when one recognizes the biblical fact that Christ existed before He came into the world in human form.” (Page 10)

About Dr. Roy B. Zuck
Dr. Roy B. Zuck (1932–2013) was Senior Professor Emeritus of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary where he served in various professorial and administrative positions since 1973. A former executive vice-president for Scripture Press in Wheaton, Illinois, Zuck always had a passion for solid, Bible-based publications in the realm of Christian youth ministry education. He authored or edited hundreds of books and journal entries and served as the editor of the oldest theological quarterly in the western world—Bibliotheca Sacra.
Born on January 20, 1932, in Phoenix, Arizona, the older of two children, Zuck quickly developed a love for Scripture and heard God's calling at age 11. He was so anxious to begin his Bible training that he wrote Biola University in La Mirada, California, to request an application for admission. Biola told him to wait a couple of years before applying. Zuck entered Biola in 1949, held the position of president of the student council his senior year and served as the class speaker while on his way to graduating cum laude at the top of his class in 1953. He met his wife-to-be Dottie while they both served on student council, and they were married in 1954.
After earning his B.A. from Biola, Zuck attended Dallas Theological Seminary, completing his Th.M. in 1957, writing his thesis on the challenging imprecatory Psalms. During his doctoral residency, he assisted Howard Hendricks as a teaching fellow, and gained his Th.D. in 1961 after writing his subsequently published and re-published dissertation The Place of the Holy Spirit in Teaching, which is presently in print as Spirit Filled Teaching. Dr. Zuck's graduate studies at Northern Illinois University and North Texas State University have fed his search for knowledge since then.
Dr. Zuck spent fourteen years in the publishing business, and then returned to Dallas Theological Seminary in 1973, taking on the tasks and responsibilities of assistant academic dean and associate professor of Bible exposition. He became academic dean in 1985, serving as such until achieving the position of department chairman and Senior Professor of Bible Exposition in 1992. Dr. Zuck retired from Dallas Seminary in 1996.
