God Draws Near

Theology

“In this daring and creative book, Collin Cornell calls into question the standard reading of the biblical narrative in missional theology. He shows how this reading leads to severe theological problems for our understanding of both God’s relationship with Israel and the difference the Incarnation makes. His bold proposal offers a fresh way to support the church’s witness to a new missional era. Theologians, missiologists, and practitioners should sit with Cornell’s argument.”

God the Creator

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Christians continue to wrestle with what it means to say that everything that exists depends on God as Creator. In this book, Steven S. Tuell enthusiastically harvests years of teaching in both the academy and the church to invite us into a more faithful understanding of the Bible’s speaking about creation in its original context and homiletical application. With great command of the literature, he introduces pastors and laity alike to conversations stretching from ancient Near Eastern texts to contemporary science.”

Jesus, History, and Revelation

Theology

“unhelpful polemics. This book has the potential to break through all that, as it lifts the conversation to a new level. Charitable in its interpretations, yet firm in its observations and conclusions, and remarkably clear and convincing in its arguments, it can help both exegetes and theologians to gain a new perspective on what Barth and Wright really say about revelation and history.”

Karl Barth and the Resurrection of the Flesh

Theology

“No doubt, Barth confessed the resurrection of the flesh. But in three careful and daring soundings of Barth's theology of the resurrection, Hitchcock puts his finger on the sore spot: that the conceptual structure of his Christology and eschatology does not allow for the very confession Barth wants to make. No further research on Barth's writing on resurrection and eschatology should ignore this insightful and clearly written book.”

The Justification of the Sinless

Theology

“Once situated at the margins of theological discourse, supralapsarian Christology is enjoying a remarkable renaissance. Brendan Case's The Justification of the Sinless is a truly excellent contribution to this conversation, excavating six arguments of one of its medieval pioneers, Robert Grosseteste, placing them in historical context, and making a strong case for their ongoing validity. By making Grosseteste a conversation partner for contemporary theologians, Case offers a rich vision of a creation prepared for the arrival of God in the flesh.”
