Theology
“The essays in this volume are outstanding. They advance contemporary Evangelical theology in challenging ways. They take seriously the change in the landscape of Christianity and the locus of theological reflection that has moved from the elite intellectual centers of Europe and the United States to the new churches around the world in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. It is from these areas that the writers explore the liberating message of the gospel. . . . In that way, they advance the Christian vision of Evangelical theology.”
Theology
“Divine Empathy is a full-scale constructive theology of God and God's relation to the world. It deserves a place alongside of the classics of twentieth-century theology. Farley brings his erudition to a wide range of theological issues. His constructive proposals are insightful and profound. They will mark the discussion for years to come.”
Jürgen Moltmann and Evangelical Theology
Theology
“An informative and exciting collection of essays on Jurgen Moltmann's theology. Written from an evangelical perspective, they raise central questions and probing criticisms. But more importantly, they show the promise and significance of Moltmann's theology for all Christians. This volume is exemplary in that it explores dialogue between evangelical theology and Jurgen Moltmann in a way that is of interest for everyone.”
Knowledge and Christian Belief
Apologetics
“A remarkable book. Over the years Alvin Plantinga has undercut conventional prejudices and defended theistic beliefs. This book contains the major ideas of his philosophy of religion on God, faith, historical criticism, pluralism, and many other key topics. What distinguishes this book is the clarity with which Plantinga presents and develops his arguments. . . . An excellent compendium of his thought.”
Revisioning, Renewing, Rediscovering the Triune Center
Theology
“The essays in Revisioning, Renewing Rediscovering the Triune Center do much more than honor the achievements of Stanley Grenz. They display the crossroads present in contemporary evangelical theology as its travels into the twenty-first century. Following an introductory chapter providing an invaluable and indispensable intellectual biography of the path Grenz's theology took, the essays are written by internationally known theologians, taking on the core of the issues in Grenz's theology through their discussions of the Trinity, community, and eschatology. The essays also attend to theology's relation to culture and show the nature of theology's roots in Scripture and tradition, creatively illumining and even going beyond Grenz's work. As such, they offer diverse displays of the multiple issues within evangelical theology today.”
The Journey of Modern Theology
Theology
“Originally intended as a revision of 20th-Century Theology, The Journey of Modern Theology makes a unique and independent contribution to the study of modern theology. Olson has focused upon the diverse reactions to modernity. The book includes a more extensive treatment of nineteenth-century theology, and it engages in detail with contemporary postliberal, postmodern and deconstructive endeavors. The volume exhibits the passion of Olson's commitments and the clarity of his writing. Both make the volume extremely useful and helpful for beginning students. Olson is clear in his advocacy of orthodox and neoorthodox theological positions as he is in his criticism of liberal theories. He does so in a way that fosters and encourages a dialogue with diverse theological options.”
Theology
“Moltmann develops a theology of the Holy Spirit that links the Christian community's experience of the Spirit to the sanctification and liberation of life. He brilliantly displays the ecological and political significance of Christian belief in the Trinity.”
Theology for the Community of God
Theology
“A significant contribution to systematic theology. . . An excellent and indispensable textbook for courses in Christian theology.”
Theology
“Scott Rice’s Trinity and History provides an excellent introduction not only to current issues of theology about the Trinity but also the interpretation of key theologians of the twentieth century. It advances the interpretation of the Trinity in accessible language. I recommend it strongly for anyone interested in Trinitarian theology and recent North American theology with its German roots.”
