Against God and Nature

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In an age when speaking of sin has become unfashionable and even evangelical churches shy away from corporate practices of confession in their liturgies, McCall offers a much-needed, comprehensive treatment of the doctrine of sin. Firmly grounded in Scripture but also drawing on the breadth and depth of the theological tradition from the Patristics to today, he weaves together a rich and varied tapestry of thought on the topic. Throughout he offers measured, fair evaluation of competing viewpoints, pointing out the biblical and theological strengths and weaknesses and defending his own position in a clear, scholarly way. This book is an excellent contribution to the literature on sin.”

Defending Sin

Theology

“Working with a wealth of historical and theological material, Hans Madueme offers a comprehensive rehearsal of the historical tension between science and theology, while proposing biblical realism as a way forward. He then adeptly applies this methodology in a critique of recent proposed revisions to the doctrine of sin. Overall, this intelligent and well-researched book encourages Christians to respect scientific findings, while affirming the epistemic primacy of Scripture in our post-Darwinian age. This book is a gift to the church.”

Presupposing God

Theology

“This book brings together two unlikely bedfellows: Kant and Barth. Rather than pit them against one another, Hand suggests we rethink the relationship between these weighty figures, building a solid case for several distinctly Kantian epistemological themes that Barth continues to develop and use throughout his various works. Hand does a masterful job of analyzing a massive amount of literature, enhancing the scholarship on the theological thinking of these two prominent men.”
