Alan J. Torrance
A Shorter Guide to the Holy Spirit
Theology
“A lucid introduction to the doctrine of the Holy Spirit by one of the leading biblical exegetes and theologians of our time. . . . The magisterial way in which Thiselton integrates engagement not only with the biblical and theological material but also with the current issues and debates in the church makes this resource invaluable for students and interested laypeople alike. Very highly recommended!”
Science & Faith
“This is a courageous and thought-provoking discussion of the significance of God’s Triune identity for how we think about the nature of the contingent order. Ross Hastings’ unique cross-disciplinary abilities as an academic theologian who is also a highly qualified scientist facilitate analysis that is not only informed but profound in the insights it offers.”
Theology
“The doctrine of the Trinity stands at the very heart of the Christian faith and is key to understanding every facet of the Christian life. It ensures that Christian worship and witness to what God has done (and continues to do) stems from who God is eternally. This impressive collection of essays will both help and inspire its readers to dig deeper into what Christians affirm about the being of God, as well as the grounds and significance of those affirmations. Eccletic in mix, wide-ranging in scope, and rich in insights, this volume offers us a wonderful view into the latest thinking on this topic from several world-renowned theologians. It is a source of immense encouragement that a trinitarian focus in theology continues to thrive both in our churches and in the academy today. Thanks be to God!”
Theology
“What is particularly impressive about this volume is the author's lucid and clear-headed articulation of the light which the doctrine of our participation by grace in God's covenant purposes serves to shed on the nature of our participation in a globalized world. This goes hand in hand with an analysis couched in a scholarly and informed expertise in politics and economics which is admirably free from emotive rhetoric.”
Theology
“A superb book by one of the outstanding theologians of this generation. Although the topic of holiness is absolutely central to Christian theology, comparatively little has been written on it in recent years. This engaging, scholarly volume is not only theologically profound but also lucid and uplifting. An invaluable contribution!”
Jesus, History, and Revelation
Theology
“Few, if any, New Testament scholars have been read more widely than N. T. Wright, who is widely considered one of the most influential Christian intellectuals since C. S. Lewis. Karl Barth is arguably the greatest theologian of the modern era whose thought is as relevant to the contemporary world as it was last century. To provide a convincing critical comparison of the approaches of these great thinkers to the place of history in Christian theology is no less ambitious than it is profoundly worthwhile. Mitchell Mallary undertakes this task with intellectual rigor, careful scholarship, and informed theological insight. Arguing that what unites these two figures runs deeper than is often assumed, he challenges widespread misunderstandings of both scholars while remaining unafraid to raise key critical questions. This lucid and well-written monograph constitutes an admirable contribution to a particularly important contemporary debate.”
Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics for Everyone, Volume 1—The Doctrine of the Word of God
Theology
“This series sets out to communicate with clarity and imagination the insights that define the work of the greatest theologian since John Calvin. Written for nonprofessional theologians, its lucidity makes it accessible to a very wide audience. The additional essays by Julie Canlis and others are no less easy to read than Marty’s text and are, without exception, outstanding. This series opens a door to the thought of Karl Barth for people who might otherwise miss out on the insights into the faith of this theological giant. This would be an ideal series for church discussion groups who wish to think through the Christian faith in great depth.”
Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics for Everyone, Volume 2—The Doctrine of God
Theology
“This series sets out to communicate with clarity and imagination the insights that define the work of the greatest theologian since John Calvin. Written for nonprofessional theologians, its lucidity makes it accessible to a very wide audience. The additional essays by Julie Canlis and others are no less easy to read than Marty’s text and are, without exception, outstanding. This series opens a door to the thought of Karl Barth for people who might otherwise miss out on the insights into the faith of this theological giant. This would be an ideal series for church discussion groups who wish to think through the Christian faith in great depth.”
Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics for Everyone, Volume 3—The Doctrine of Creation
Theology
“This series sets out to communicate with clarity and imagination the insights that define the work of the greatest theologian since John Calvin. Written for nonprofessional theologians, its lucidity makes it accessible to a very wide audience. The additional essays are no less easy to read than Marty’s text and are, without exception, outstanding. This series opens a door to the thought of Karl Barth for people who might otherwise miss out on the insights into the faith of this theological giant. This would be an ideal series for church discussion groups who wish to think through the Christian faith in great depth.”
Theology
“This book articulates the profound trinitarian dynamic of grace. For all who regard themselves as 'evangelical' this book shows the true extent of the 'Good News,' which penetrates so much deeper than we often assume. McSwain offers remarkable testimony to the way in which the trinitarian Gospel affirms us, liberates us, lifts us up, and, by providing what is required of us, inspires a response that is life-transforming. Further, this book is written by a theologian with a unique ministry to young people which testifies to the liberating power of the faith he expounds so lucidly.”
Theology
“This magisterial study provides a lucid analysis of the traditional models of the atonement before weaving their key elements into a forceful exposition of the relationship between the incarnation and the atonement. The account that emerges draws together the doctrines of creation, participation, justification, pneumatology, and ecclesiology in a manner that not only brings out the cogency of the tradition but also testifies to the rich insight that we have come to expect from one of today's most important theologians. This profound exposition of soteriology will surely become required reading for academic theologians and students alike. One of the greatest benefits of this work will be the constructive conversation it inspires. Suffice it to say, the promise of this for contemporary theological debate can hardly be overstated.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A lively, readable, and profoundly insightful study of Paul and his life by one of his greatest contemporary interpreters.”
Theology
“This is the most important and, indeed, exciting book on the resurrection to have emerged in half a century. Whereas many focus on the associated historical debates, very few explore in depth the central place of the resurrection in God’s purposes of reconciliation and transformation. Rigorous biblical scholarship and profound theological insight define the discussion throughout. Intellectually rigorous and incisive, it is also lucid and accessible. This is obligatory reading for theologians and an ideal seminar text. But it should also be read by all those who are serious about understanding the defining affirmation at the heart of the Christian faith and its radical significance.”
Theology
“Rethinking the Atonement represents rigorous, in-depth biblical scholarship of the highest order. It is not merely original; it promises to be no less than field changing. That is because it will no longer be possible to write on the atonement, let alone Christology, without engaging in detail with the exegetical arguments that Moffitt presents. What is most exciting, however, is not simply the lucid way in which he demonstrates that widely held assumptions about the atonement are deeply flawed but that he does this in a way that brings the gospel alive. This is one of those rare books in biblical scholarship that should be compulsory reading not only for biblical scholars but also for academic theologians, students, and pastors alike. I cannot recommend this remarkable volume highly enough!”
Theology
“The tendency of much writing on the Spirit has been to fall either into abstruse, amorphous speculation or overly subjective accounts of religious experience. This book obviates both failings. It is a theologically profound but also highly focused treatment of the concrete reality of the Spirit in God's Self-disclosure. This is an invaluable resource for academics, students and theologically engaged ministers alike.”
T. F. Torrance and Eastern Orthodoxy
Theology
“This volume is essential reading for scholars of Torrance's thought and will be of major interest to students of Orthodox theology and ecumenism.”
The Claim of Humanity in Christ
Theology
“An incisive, scholarly, and lucid exploration of the Torrances' thinking on salvation and sanctification and so much more! Few theological books shed so much light on the practical relevance of the Gospel for the mission of the church. This clearly written volume is for scholars, students, and thinking evangelicals alike.”
Theology
“This immensely insightful and, indeed, courageous volume is the result of two decades of ressearch by a New Testament scholar with unique theological insight. A work of profound significance for the theological world as much as for the world of Pauline scholarship.”
