A New Old Spirituality?

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Tone Kaufman’s study fills a lacuna in recent scholarship, and shows simultaneously how important empirical studies have become for practical theology. Her careful approach to the spirituality of clergy will be read with interest.”

Cosmic Purpose

Science & Faith

“The book is nothing less than remarkable. Kagawa's work points forward toward features in contemporary scientific discussions about teleology, convergence, and various forms of selection, as well as opens up new discussions between science, theology, and philosophy on evil, salvation, and the nature and purpose of being human.”

God, the World, and Hope

Theology

“Hegstad’s introduction to dogmatics is a welcome contribution that will help those who want to get a better understanding of the contents of Christian faith and how it can be formulated today. His ecumenical outlook and his focus on hope will provide students with a significant starting-point for their studies and for their future ministry.”

Justification in a Post-Christian Society

Theology

“The present volume documents that the Lutheran theological tradition is still doing well. These contributions testify to a Lutheranism not captured in the past, but actively engaging with contemporary issues in society and culture; a Lutheranism both open, self-critical, constructive, and creative. This is a must read for anybody who wants to see how the Lutheran tradition related to the wider theological dialogue, and what it has to contribute to the ecumenical reflection about the relevance of Christian faith for people of today.”

Lutheran Identity and Political Theology

Theology

“On the contemporary scene, religion becomes increasingly more globalized. These contributions reflect the global character of contemporary Lutheranism. We are presented with a rich collection of essays that discusses a wide variety of issues, ranging from religion in society and culture, to gender, health, sex, and politics. This volume shows how a distinct Lutheran theological identity takes the contemporary world seriously.”

The Study of Science and Religion

Science & Faith

“Bråkenhielm presents a valuable contribution to the understanding of the relationship between science and religion. Especially important is his research of how this relationship is perceived by the general public. His is among the few studies that in detail show how it is ‘out there’—how science and religion interact in the minds of ordinary people. He also discloses striking differences between the contexts in Sweden and the United States, which tell us that there is more than one way to understand how science, religion and faith interact in the present.”
