Theology
“Barth's Epistle to the Romans is notoriously opaque and challenging; Oakes' guide is lively, perceptive, and nimble, and will enable readers to approach Barth with confidence and discover for themselves the riches of this classic of twentieth-century theology.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“These theologically astute studies of some major interpreters of the Bible, classical and modern, are written with easy grace, clarity, and erudition lightly worn. This volume provides a fine account of Christian thought on the nature and reading of Scripture.”
Theology
“Elegant and penetrating, these studies of thinkers from the Reformed tradition exemplify the courteous engagement with tradition which characterizes the best constructive theology.”
Theology
“Astute in its analysis, robust in its proposals, and spiritually charged throughout, this is theology of a high order, offering one of the most stimulating portrayals of the scriptural moral landscape to appear in recent years.”
Theology
“This is a book to be read slowly. Not because its thesis requires demanding unraveling, but because it demands that we take time to listen to voices we have largely overlooked. With expansive range and remarkable depth, the fact that human flourishing is part of the mission of the church is explored ‘off the beaten track’ (holzwege) through familiar and unfamiliar territories. To be truly healthy is to be open to ‘incompleteness, vulnerability, and slowness.’”
Theology
“This hitherto unpublished cycle of early career lectures makes absorbing reading for those interested in the reception of Barth's theology as well as for those concerned with constructive doctrinal work . . . Here we catch a glimpse of how [a] deep admiration for Barth's theological achievement inspired [van Buren] to a vigorous practical dogmatics.”
Theology
“No attentive reader of this book can fail to be impressed by its scope, boldness, and sheer theological energy. As he moves across the fields of historical and systematic theology, biblical studies, and philosophy, Knight demonstrates the resources within the Christian tradition for critical analysis and hopeful reconstruction of culture. This provocative book deserves to be read and debated very widely.”
Theology
“Drawing on his intimate knowledge of Karl Barth the theologian and Karl Barth the man and on a lifetime's pondering of Barth's work, Eberhard Busch offers a peerless introduction to the greatest of modern Protestant thinkers. With its comprehensive grasp of Barth's thought, its eye for the telling detail or phrase, and its sense of the deep intellectual and spiritual resources that Barth continues to offer to the church and to theology, this book will instruct and delight its readers.”
The History of Christian Thought
History & Biography
“Well-informed, comprehensive, generous without being uncritical, the history is written in a lively and untechnical style and gives the reader just what's required to see the development of Christian thought in its scope and in its parts. For breadth, clarity and accessibility, this book has few equals.”
Theology
“Written with clarity and filled with theological and spiritual perception, this account of the theology of the church is a work of high order, most of all because of the consistency with which it talks of the church by talking about God.”
Theology
“In this lively and engrossing book, Stephen Holmes charts the development of the doctrine of the Trinity . . . calling into question some established conventions about the history of trinitarian theology. This is a work of considerable theological intelligence and historical discrimination; it will enjoy a wide readership.”
The Word of God for the People of God
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In The Word of God for the People of God Todd Billings gets to the core of the issues and states them with great clarity and firmness of line.”
Theology
“If we are to speak with theological intelligence and Christian compassion about the nature, causes, and overcoming of evil, we must first speak of the God whom Christians confess and in whom they hope. This elegant, perceptive, and gentle book shows us why theology matters in theodicy.”
Theology
“Common theological reflection on God and the gospel, hindered by compromise and intransigence alike, is best promoted by the virtues of learning, generosity, attentiveness and charity, all of which are manifest in the distinguished essays collected in this book. They form a rare example of the demanding and much-needed art of theological diplomacy.”
Trinitarian Grace and Participation
Theology
“Although it is now widely acknowledged that T.F. Torrance was one of the most distinguished and original British theological thinkers in the second half of the twentieth century, his theology of divine grace has rarely been studied at any depth. This is a full and perceptive study of an under-appreciated element in the work of a theologian of great stature, and an opportunity to give thought to some central questions in the theology of the Christian life.”
