It is by far the most amazing miracle in the whole Bible – far more amazing than the resurrection and more amazing than the creation of the universe. The fact that the infinite, omnipotent, eternal Son of God could become man and join Himself to a human nature forever, so that infinite God became one person with finite man, will remain for eternity the most profound miracle and the most profound mystery in all the universe.

Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem als Verfasser eines weltweit genutzten, praxisorientierten Lehrbuchs der systematischen Theologie sowie als Herausgeber der ESV Study Bible.
