Jonathan Edwards’s Vision of Reality
Theology
“There are a number of studies on the theocentric metaphysics of the Puritan divine Jonathan Edwards. This work distinguishes itself by its careful attention to detail, its comprehensive scope, and its sympathetic interaction with much of the recent Edwards scholarship. Bombaro presents his readers with a picture of the Sage of Northampton's theology, which emphasizes the glorification of God in the creation--and even in the reprobation--of human beings. This will be welcomed by scholars and readers of Edwards as a helpful addition to the expanding literature on the subject.”
Theology
“In this volume public theology in the Reformed tradition is catapulted into the twenty-first century. The range of topics covered is impressive. Anyone with an interest in Reformed theology should read this book. Those who are not Reformed will still find intellectual riches with which to engage.”
Revival, Renewal, and the Holy Spirit
History & Biography
“The Welsh Revival at the beginning of the twentieth century was a spiritual awakening that transformed the churches in Wales and had an impact far beyond its borders in the wider evangelical world. This symposium of essays brings together a range of scholars to offer a fresh assessment of the historical and ecclesiological background to the revival, to its leadership and cessation, and to the reception of the revival in the wider Christian world. This collection is a fitting celebration of the centenary of this signal event in the Christian historiography of Wales and its theological legacy for today.”
History & Biography
“Richard Hooker is the theologian of Anglicanism. But is he a theologian for Anglicans alone? Assuredly not! In this companion to Hooker, Littlejohn has produced a clearly written and accessible work that utilizes the recent resurgence of scholarly interest in Hooker to commend him to a wider audience. . . . It is sure to be a resource of choice for those seeking a way into the thought of this great post-Reformation divine.”
Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the Matthean Parables, Volume III
History & Biography
“These sermons give us a window into a crucial moment in Edwards's career and theological development. Written just as the fervor of the Great Awakening was receding, and as he was composing his study of true and false Christianity--Religious Affections--these searching studies on the Matthean parable of the Net provide scholar and pastor with much theological meat upon which to chew. Minkema and Neele have placed us in their debt.”
Christian Living
“With the head of a theologian and the heart of a pastor, Peppiatt has written a work of profound and searching spiritual theology. This is a book that teaches what it means to be a disciple of Christ, apprentice to the Master. Whether you are new to the faith or someone who has been a follower for many years, there is much in this little book that will challenge, encourage, and comfort you.”
Science & Faith
“One of the major concerns raised by recent neurolaw has to do with the legal consequences of skepticism about human agency raised by the neurosciences. This has important legal, philosophical, and theological implications. David Opderbeck is well placed to tackle these issues as both a lawyer and theologian. He has written an accessible and erudite study that tackles the historical dimension to the current debate as well as providing incisive criticism and a constructive theological response. This is an important interdisciplinary contribution to a pressing contemporary discussion with which lawyers, philosophers, and theologians working in this area will have to engage.”
Theology
““Is Christ restricted to his flesh? Does he continue to uphold the universe whilst incarnate? This nodal theological issue is once more the subject of serious theological scrutiny. James R. Gordon's analytic-theological study offers a clear, well-argued, and compelling case for the doctrine that will be required reading for all those working on constructive accounts of the person and work of Christ. Highly recommended."”
The Image of God in an Image Driven Age
Theology
“This is a fecund collection of essays on theological anthropology. In it one can find treatments of the image of God from biblical, systematic and constructive theology, but one can also find essays that reflect on the imaging of God in the arts: in poetry and in literary criticism. Here too there is reflection on our witness to the divine image in a culture of commodification and a world where the color of one's skin has displaced the divine image in which we are all created. These explorations of the doctrine of the image of God offer readers a rich and satisfying smorgasbord of essays and art that repays careful reading and reflection.”
The New Evangelical Subordinationism?
Theology
“Is the Eternal Son of God subordinate to the Father in the ontological Trinity? Is Christ functionally subordinate to his Father during his earthly ministry? Can the doctrine of the subordination of the Son or of Christ help us make sense of other, creaturely relationships--such as that between spouses? These are important and difficult matters about which many Christians currently disagree. In this symposium Dennis Jowers and H. Wayne House have collected together representative papers from different quarters of this debate in order to promote an irenic and collegial discussion.”
Theology
“Trinitarian theology has been a rallying cry for a particular constructive project in modern dogmatics. . . . In this volume, Holmes sets out a rather different account, one which tracks the tradition with greater care. This will in all likelihood be a healthy corrective to some enamored with an inflated or hypertrophied trinitarian theology.”
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Theology
“Ross Hastings has a remarkable gift of making theology lively. In this book he considers the vitality and importance of the resurrection of Christ in a fully worked out theological account of the Christian life. From discussion of the historicity of the resurrection, to its importance in our understanding of the atonement and our participation in Christ's work, and on to the implications it has for life today and in the hereafter--this is a work that has a broad sweep, penned by a deft theological hand.”
Theological Authority in the Church
Theology
“This is not a book for bedtime reading. It is a manifesto for a distinctively Protestant account of theological authority. Nemes argues for a ‘low’ church model of tradition that eschews grand metaphysical schemes. Whether readers are delighted or confounded by his arguments, they will find much in this short work that needs to be pondered.”
Theology's Epistemological Dilemma
Theology
“Christians today are faced with epistemological challenges all the time: How can I know that this is the truth? What warrant do I have for my beliefs? Is the Bible trustworthy? Can I know that there is a God? The list goes on. The great Swiss theologian Karl Barth gave certain answers to these worries. In a different context, philosopher Alvin Plantinga has spent much of his career tackling such issues. However, these two thinkers are often regarded as providing quite different answers to these questions. In this book, Kevin Diller gives an account of Barth and Plantinga that shows a deep consonance between them and their respective attempts to address the epistemological troubles we face. This is an outstanding work that repays careful study. All those who care about the future of Christian theology and philosophy, and the conversation between the two disciplines, ought to read it.”
Philosophy
“Some thinkers labor in a particular furrow, hand to the plough, making progress on an area or line of argument over the course of time. Others, like Nicholas Wolterstorff, manage to contribute to the propagation of several different intellectual crops in different fields. In this work, he brings together essays in areas in which he has made signal contributions individually: on the notion of justice, on art and aesthetics, and on liturgy—binding them together with love. It is an important collection of his work, and a valuable contribution to the cross-fertilization of these distinct areas, which he has done so much to help flourish.”
Theology
“Thomas McCall is one of a growing number of theologians whose work is informed by the recent contributions to philosophical theology made by analytic Christian philosophers. This volume shows just how effective such analytic theology can be. McCall offers criticism of both philosophical and theological work of late on the Trinity and supplies his own constructive proposal in the process. This is a piece of clear, carefully written scholarship that is sure to be of interest to philosophers and theologians at work on this central Christian dogma.”
