God’s Shining Forth

Theology

“Throughout the early history of the Christian church, light remained a popular motif for explaining God's nature and his work in the world and especially to redeem humanity from the darkness of sin. In contemporary theology, however, the rich resources of this motif have been under-explored. Through a careful assessment of key biblical and traditional sources, Hay divulges the relevance of the 'light' to current theological questions, opening doors for the recovery of this important concept. A valuable and commendable theological enterprise!”

In Your Light We See Light

Theology

“What does it mean to participate in God? Uyen addresses this important question through a wide-ranging study of the way in which divine illumination has been conceived in the Bible and several key theological traditions. A truly valuable overview of the doctrine and an innovative study of its relevance to Christian life and thought today.”

Seeing God

Theology

“The doctrine of the beatific vision, the final vision of God, has been sidelined in some recent theological discussions. In this rich and exciting study Hans Boersma restores the appreciation of its centrality that was common in earlier Christian traditions. He invites us to engage in the ultimate adventure of our lives—to become who God made us to be and thereby come to know God in ways that anticipate the vision of him in his fullness. A wonderful and supremely worthwhile feat.”
