Mutual Hierarchy

Theology

“Social Trinitarianism has proven stimulating and helpful. But its proposals often force a choice between either hierarchy or equality among the persons of the Trinity. Jeffrey Dukeman shows us that this choice is neither necessary nor helpful. In his own stimulating and helpful contribution, he argues that discerning a ‘mutual hierarchy’ in the Trinity does better both by the New Testament witness and by the life of the church.”

Receiver, Bearer, and Giver of God’s Spirit

Theology

“Leo Sanchez proposes a Spirit Christology rooted in the Scriptural testimony, consistent with the Church's ancient confession, and rich in implications for the Christian life. Readers will find faithful but long-neglected ways to conceive of Christ and come away with insights to think anew about preaching, prayer, and theology.”

Upon This Rock

Theology

Foreword

“An antifoundationalist account is one that recognizes its foundations are debatable, open to challenge and rejection. Openness to challenge and rejection also characterizes a christological account of anything, including the Scriptures, the church, and doctrine, because Jesus Christ himself was rejected and crucified. It stands only because God raised Jesus from the dead. A good deal of contemporary theology does not follow through on this conviction, and this fact explains the modern appeal of foundationalism among Christians. They should know better. At any rate, Rob Fossett does, and more than anything else, this explains the consistency and persuasiveness of his account of Christian doctrine.”
