God in 3D

Theology

“Colin Green attempts to recover the Hebraic roots of the doctrine of the Trinity. The Hebrew Bible tells us of God’s name and his glory which dwell in his temple. These mediate God’s presence to his people. So, when the early followers of Jesus began to ask how God was present in him, they had to hand established Jewish ways of thought to make sense of what they had experienced in Jesus and in the subsequent transforming arrival of the Holy Spirit into their lives. . . . Semitic ways of speaking about Jesus and the Spirit continued in the Syriac tradition and among the Desert Fathers and Mothers. They form a significant complement to the Greek and Latin patristic tradition and are important as the church grows in non-Western cultures more akin to that of the Hebrew Bible and Syriac Christianity. Colin Green has performed an important service in returning the church to its Semitic roots at a time when Christianity is becoming mainly a non-Western faith.”

Foreword

Reformation Anglican Worship

Theology

“Jensen emphasizes the priority of grace in Christian worship. Because we experience God’s abundant grace in forgiveness and healing, we can respond to him with gratitude, both personally and corporately. This results in fresh grace received for living the Christian life. The centrality of God’s word, preached and taught, is everywhere in this book, but the author does not neglect the sacraments as channels of grace and means of receiving Christ. Jensen has given us a stimulating book for considering afresh the issues raised during the English Reformation and their impact on corporate worship.”

Trust in an Age of Arrogance

Theology

“This book is a distillation of much wisdom and Allison wears his learning lightly. It warns us against two opposite dangers: moralism without the spiritual and tolerance without morality. Against these, he places the fullness of the Christian faith where trust in Christ's work frees us from the unendurable guilt and gives us the grace to repent of our shortcomings and seek to fulfill God's purposes for ourselves and for his world.”
