Christology as Critique

Theology

“Alfsvåg’s work is a further contribution to the deconstruction of modernity. It draws on the critical and constructive potential of premodern insights deployed by Cusanus and Luther and retrieved by Hamann and Kierkegaard. These insights, in line with Scripture and Chalcedonian Christology, are then applied to key theological problems today. The book, which I highly recommend, is accessible to the general reader but written for the scholar.”

Divine Presence

Theology

“Alfsvåg has written a challenging introduction to Christian theology, arguing that it has the right to claim a place among the academic disciplines of the university. At the same time, the author tries to bridge the gap between church and academy. This is a book not only for students and teachers but for all who want to understand more deeply the mystery of the divine presence in the world.”

Luther's Outlaw God, Volume 1

Theology

“Paulson rightly stresses that key to understanding Luther’s argument is his distinction between the God not preached (the hidden God) and the God preached (the revealed God), which in turn is related to Luther’s fundamental Reformation discovery: the proper distinction between law and gospel. Paulson’s style is clear, direct, and engaging. This makes the book accessible to readers at all levels, but students and teachers of theology will find it especially helpful as they ponder Luther’s treatment of the Deus absconditus.”

Wonderfully Made

Theology

“Written against the neo‐gnostic spirituality of our day, with its focus on the mind at the expense of the body, Kleinig’s engaging book is a powerful defence of the embodied spirituality of the Bible. Its deep exegetical and pastoral insights combine to make this a book that speaks to both the head and the heart. Written for a broad spectrum of readers from rank and file Christians to pastors and teachers of theology, the author shows that the body is indeed wonderfully made because it has been created, redeemed, and sanctified by the triune God and is destined for eternal communion with God after the resurrection.”
