Deification in Eastern Orthodox Theology

Theology

“This is a splendid and thorough introduction to the work of a leading Orthodox theologian, and it is long overdue.”

Making Christ Real

Theology

“This is a vitally important new book which tackles some of the most life-giving questions that can arise within Christian theology on transforming and being transformed. Youngs writes with an impressive balance of critique and explanation. He tracks the history of kenoticism and addresses some of the key questions that arise concerning the relation between the sublime freedom of the risen Christ on the one hand and our own—mysterious—freedom on the other.”

Narrative and the Triune Reality

Theology

“In this book, Wai Luen Kwok offers a lucid, deeply thoughtful account of modern trinitarian theology, arguing for a rediscovery of the unity of ‘Word’ and ‘Event,’ against the pressures of Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment thought. Here Kwok shows the centrality of Robert Jenson’s ‘Word-Event,’ while exploring a greater emphasis upon its linguistic-communicative rather than temporal-eventful dimension. This is a refreshingly fundamental engagement with questions of revelation and theology and well worth reading.”

Pentecostalism as a Christian Mystical Tradition

Theology

“This is a powerful statement of the depth at which Pentecostalism belongs to the Christian church as a whole. Wide-ranging, engaging, and accessible, this book will open new windows on the worldwide phenomenon of Pentecostalism for many readers, whatever their background. Rarely has Pentecostalism had such a passionate and articulate advocate of its centeredness in deep Christian tradition.”

Postliberal Theological Method

Theology

“Postliberal Theological Method is a book by a young scholar of considerable ability. Adonis Vidu is not afraid to ask disquieting questions about the semantic rules that govern much postliberal discourse, pointing, for instance, to the illegitimacy of incommensurability prior to the testing of dialogue. This book appeals throughout to a way of thinking which conscientiously tests the fine canons of its abstractive reasoning against practice and the particular. Thus over time it will free itself from the constraining limits of its own theological horizons, and from the undiminished latency of violence which lingers there. This is a serious study, in a field characterized by play, and we should take it seriously.”
