From Nothing

Theology

“Acknowledging forthrightly both the exegetical and philosophical problems posed by the church’s doctrine of creation from nothing, this well researched and cogently argued study makes an impressive case for why faith in the trustworthiness of the triune God who creates all things in Christ may be shown to provide a deeper understanding of what creation entails than either its ancient or recent alternatives. Once again McFarland has demonstrated how a first rate critical engagement with the sources of Christian doctrinal traditions can constructively address some of today’s most vital issues.”

Militant Grace

Theology

“In a day when the word ‘apocalyptic’ is popularly used for the worst news of cosmic proportions, it may come as a surprise to discover that in the gospel of the New Testament, most decidedly in the testimony of Paul, it is used precisely for the best news. Nothing less than a new creation, empowered against all opposition by what happens with Jesus Christ, is said to be ‘apocalypsed’ as the turn of the ages. Ziegler provides a brilliant account, unsurpassed in expositional depth and clarity, of what this good news entails and how realistic it is today. For those familiar with the subject, this valuable text is an encyclopedic compendium of the major thinkers. For students new to the issues, it offers a most inviting place to become informed and engaged. Such is the author’s exemplary tribute ‘in memory of and gratitude to J. Louis Martyn.”

The Crucifixion

Theology

“In the rich tradition of the preacher-theologian, Fleming Rutledge in her own incisive voice gives testimony to the rectifying significance of Christ's crucifixion with detailed exposition that is at once deeply reflective and full of deep conviction. From a wealth of scholarly references and observations ranging from Scripture, the history of church imagery and its critics, literature, modern theology, and the daily news, readers will find much to ponder in this commendably studied yet vitally proclamatory gospel treatise.”

The Economy of Salvation

Theology

“The quality and range of subjects addressed by the prominent contributors to this Festschrift provide highly interesting reading and render much-deserved tribute to the influence of M. Douglas Meeks as one of America's foremost theologians in uncovering for the church and contemporary society the biblical significance of economics according to 'the economy of God.'”

Visible Words

Theology

“Robert Jenson deserves to be studied as one of the more creative theologians in America today. It is perhaps due to his wisdom in the ways of this world that each of his books leaves the reader impatient to hear more. If his work in the future proves to be as stimulating as that in the past, we will not be disappointed.”
