Theology
“An outstanding collection on Reformed dogmatics from some of the sharpest minds in the contemporary business. Insisting upon the centrality of the scriptural gospel of the Triune God for every area of Christian confession, the contributors also demonstrate how the hearing of that gospel in the company of the church catholic and Reformed presents true hope for theological renewal in today’s world. This book instructs, challenges, and inspires, abundantly illustrating the privilege and delight as well as demands that attend our ongoing reckoning with the church’s historic faith. Why does dogmatic reasoning continue to matter so much, and what must dogmatics seek—in the strength of God—to say if it is to speak the gospel afresh in the church and to the world? Read here, and find out.”
Theology
“Bradbury offers a sharp delineation of the contours of a theologia crucis in classical perspective, and a clear account of the ways in which Barth's theological project involves a creative expansion of recurring epistemological and soteriological emphases in that tradition. Healthy in its instincts and perceptive in its judgments, this book explores dogmatic themes which lie at the heart of the Christian gospel.”
Culture in a Post-Secular Context
Theology
“Engaging with an impressive range of resources, Alan Thomson offers an important critical corrective and a valuable constructive proposal. When culture is discerned as a theologically dense reality, the missiological implications in a post-secular environment may be profound indeed. This is an astute book, which will lead the way for applications of its core argument in a number of other areas.”
Descending on Humanity and Intervening in History
Preaching & Worship
“Few modern theologians have displayed the combination of intellectual energy, rhetorical power, and pastoral commitment of P. T. Forsyth. In this valuable collection of Forsyth's sermons, many of them hitherto unpublished, we encounter a conviction too often absent in church and academy alike--that theology and preaching belong vitally together. In these striking examples of that vision, contemporary readers will find much to learn, challenge, and inspire.”
Theology
“T. F. Torrance’s extensive studies on the history of hermeneutics deserve to remain important reading for students of theology and scriptural interpretation. This volume presents a very valuable collection of some of Torrance’s most significant texts in the field, set out somewhat after the fashion of the ambitious general history of hermeneutics which he originally envisioned as corollary to his work on theological epistemology and Christian doctrine. For all who wish to gain an understanding of Torrance’s provocative ways of reading historical theology and its legacies, this book is an essential asset.”
God’s Address—Living with the Triune God, Revised Edition
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Lucid, engaging, practically-focused on every page, Dr. Black’s guide to Scripture’s ever-wondrous news offers an immensely helpful and accessible resource for today’s church. I am delighted to commend it warmly.”
The Lion, the Dove, & the Lamb, Revised Edition
Theology
“If our chief end as human creatures is to glorify God and enjoy God forever, nothing is more important than the knowledge of who God actually is. To many Christians, the theology of the Trinity remains a matter of remote theory rather than living appreciation. Clearly, creatively, and with pastoral wisdom, Black explains how this doctrine came to be the church's confession, and why it continues to matter for Christian faith today.”
Theology
“The theology of the Holy Spirit has undergone something of a renaissance in recent times: this collection reflects a valuable contribution to that cause. These are stimulating essays on a range of vital topics in biblical, dogmatic, and practical pneumatology-scripturally responsible, historically informed, and justly conscious of the potentially transformative significance of their theme for Christian existence in the world.”
