While Jesus and his disciples were at or near Caesarea Philippi, Peter testified that Jesus was "the Christ, the Son of the living God. " Martha had a similar divine testimony, proclaiming, "I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God. " In much the same way, a standard part of Latter-day Saint discourse includes bearing testimony that "Jesus is the Christ, " but what do we mean when we say that Jesus is the Christ? This volume compiles essays given at a BYU Sidney B. Sperry Symposium that uniquely address such questions from a Latter-day Saint perspective, bringing together both biblical scholarship and Restoration insights that invite us to come to Christ and apply gospel teachings to real life.
