Theology
“There has been a resurgence of interest in the Holy Spirit in recent years and this wide-ranging book edited by Myk Habets, who is quickly becoming a major contributor to discussions of the Spirit in contemporary theology, offers reflections that are profoundly theological and sometimes provocatively challenging but always helpful in pushing theologians to think more precisely about the pneumatological dimensions of theology”
Theology
“Myk Habets has established a reputation as an energetic and dependable theologian who provides thoroughly researched reflections on some of the most burning issues in contemporary theology. In this thought-provoking volume on the theology of Thomas F. Torrance, Habets characteristically considers Torrance’s thinking and then constructively carries this forward in ways that certainly will lead to further questions and reflection as Torrance himself would have wanted. Readers will learn from Torrance and from Habets and then will be challenged to think theologically for themselves.”
Thomas F. Torrance and Evangelical Theology
Theology
“This wide-ranging volume reinforces the view that Torrance is the most important English language theologian of the twentieth century. Central to each chapter in this impressive work are Torrance’s evangelical views of Christology, the Trinity, and atonement, and how those doctrines invariably mean good news for all when rightly understood.”
Thomas F. Torrance and the Orthodox-Reformed Theological Dialogue
Theology
“This superb study by Jason Radcliff, which offers a veritable gold mine of information about the central doctrine of the Nicene faith, does a great service for the church and academy explaining how and why Thomas F. Torrance’s ecumenical approach remains an underutilized but necessary benchmark for contemporary Trinitarian theology . . . This book is must reading for anyone studying Christology and Trinitarian doctrine today.”
Thomas F. Torrance’s Theology of the Ascension
Theology
“Recognizing Torrance’s theology of the ascension as a ‘modern theological classic,’ this important study represents the first full-length monograph on this topic. Developing Torrance’s own position in detail, Stavan John also critically engages with Torrance, while stressing that Torrance’s holistic account of the ascension ‘affirms a realist theology of the ascended body’ enabling a robust view of Christ’s continued priestly mediation. This is a must-read for Torrance scholars and anyone interested in serious theology.”
Trinitarian Grace and Participation
Theology
“This book is not just for Torrance scholars, but for anyone who wishes to understand the power of grace as God’s action for us in his Word and Spirit—a power that God does not relinquish, but exercises here and now as the risen and ascended Lord, through the action of his Holy Spirit uniting us to himself. With clarity and consistency Geordie W. Ziegler explains exactly why salvation by grace, when rightly understood with the help of Torrance’s theology, eliminates the need to seek assurance for our salvation in what we do, since that assurance is freely actualized for us in Christ himself and enabled by the Spirit. Ziegler demonstrates precisely why the theology of T. F. Torrance offers a breadth and depth of understanding that simply will not be found elsewhere.”
Theology
“Theologians who intend to take traditional Trinitarian doctrine seriously today will be especially interested in Thomas McCall's discussions of Robert Jenson, Jürgen Moltmann, and John Zizioulas. McCall's own specifically theological proposals are certain to generate further discussion.”
