A Celtic Christology

Theology

“In this brilliantly lucid and profoundly insightful book, John Gavin successfully demonstrates the pervasive Christocentrism of Eriugena's vision, as well as his indebtedness to the Greek patristic tradition, especially Maximus the Confessor. The result is not only a groundbreaking revisionist achievement in the scholarly assessment of Eriugena, but the retrieval of a richly creative, and hitherto underappreciated, voice in the Christian tradition.”

Athanasius and His Legacy

Theology

“It is indeed a daunting task to render a balanced account of both the foundational contribution that Athanasius has made to the Christian tradition and of the intense controversy that he has provoked from his own time to ours. This book wonderfully manages this task through an exemplary combination of theological acuity and historical sensitivity. It is an excellent guide to Athanasius's theology and its continuing and vital significance.”

Correlating Sobornost

Theology

“In this richly stimulating collection of essays, the temptations to insularity and self-sufficiency that have often beset both Barthian and Orthodox scholarship have been decisively overcome by a spirit of careful and creative engagement. The resultant conversation is a tremendous impetus toward the ecumenical 'sobornicity' of modern Christian theology.”

Engaging the Doctrine of Creation

Theology

“Perhaps no doctrine has been subjected to more distortion and dismissal through the rise of modern science and a reductively naturalistic worldview than that of creation. In this book, Levering frames his brilliantly incisive engagement with naturalistic perspectives within a classically theological framework by grounding the intelligibility and beauty of creation in the glory of the creator disclosed consummately in Jesus Christ. With this illustrious addition to his Engaging the Doctrine series, Levering further confirms his position as one of the most captivating and profoundly wise expositors of Christian doctrine.”

Irenaeus

History & Biography

“This wide-ranging collection of essays will refine many detailed aspects of the scholarly reception of Irenaeus, but at the same time is calculated to provide something of a comprehensive overview. This will make it indispensable to the serious student who seeks to grasp the significance of one often dubbed 'the first Christian theologian'." —Frances Young Emeritus Professor of Theology, University of Birmingham "A badly needed contemporary collection of essays on various historical, textual, and theological aspects of the often cited and too little understood Irenaeus of Lyons. The variety of perspectives creates a lively volume, and the extensive bibliography, including editions of Irenaeus' writings, make it essential." —Rebecca Lyman Church Divinity School of the Pacific "Sara Parvis and Paul Foster have collected in one volume an eloquent and timely testimony to the perennial vitality of Irenaeus’s vision. Their book masterfully situates Irenaeus in a multiplicity of contexts: historical, scriptural, and theological.”

Modern Orthodox Thinkers

History & Biography

“Fr. Andrew Louth, who is himself one of the foremost Orthodox theologians of our time, offers us in this volume much more than a survey of 'modern Orthodox thinkers,' despite the humble simplicity of the title. The wonderfully surprising grace of this work is that it succeeds in communicating not only the thought of the major figures in modern Orthodox theology but the spiritual wellsprings of that thought in Orthodox prayer and liturgy. An equally inspired feat is his presentation of the rich diversity of modern Orthodoxy, comprising clerical and lay theologians, both men and women, hailing from a great variety of backgrounds and perspectives. This is a work of scholarship that is imbued with a Eucharistic spirit. The reader will feel both nourished by its erudition and deeply grateful for its illumination of the manifold manifestations of the Spirit in modern Orthodoxy.”

Paul and the Trinity

Theology

“This is theological exegesis at its very best, a brilliant demonstration of ‘the interdependence of biblical exegesis and dogmatic theology.’”

T. F. Torrance and Eastern Orthodoxy

Theology

“This book celebrates and extends T. F. Torrance's significant and formative engagement with Patristic and Orthodox thought. It is a groundbreaking and exemplary achievement.”

The Path of Christianity

History & Biography

“This is a monumental work that wonderfully synthesizes a dazzling array of virtues. It is vastly comprehensive, but also enlivened by a judicious selection of concrete detail; deeply learned, yet written with elegant lucidity; it takes the reader on a brisk march through Christian history while also offering historically situated contemplations of perennial Christian themes and preoccupations, such as philanthropy and sexual morality. John McGuckin's prodigious talents as a scholar and teacher, honed over decades, here achieve a brilliant and widely accessible distillation.”

The Theology of Augustine

Theology

“Matthew Levering applies his characteristic clarity of exposition and acuity of analysis to seven major works of Augustine. The result wonderfully substantiates his introductory claim that 'Augustine speaks as powerfully today as he did sixteen hundred years ago.'”
