Theology
“In this accomplished volume, Jon Coutts presents a bold vision of the theology and practice of Christian forgiveness that navigates this acutely difficult terrain with sensitivity and insight. Operating at the boundary of systematic, ethical, and pastoral reflection, Coutts draws on Karl Barth's doctrine of reconciliation to present a scripturally based and ecclesially attentive account of forgiveness as a reality of grace in a truly reconciled yet still sinful world. The result is a work that offers both consolation and challenge to Christians in their calling to be servants of reconciliation and deserves the careful attention of both theologians and pastors. Highly recommended.”
Theology
“With characteristic lucidity and insight, Oliver Crisp offers in this text an accessible yet contoured presentation of Christian teaching on the death of Jesus Christ. The volume explores the variety that exists among classic theological accounts of the atonement, explaining and critiquing their particularities while setting aside certain popular misreadings. Yet the volume also sets forth the outlines of a richly constructive account of the doctrine of the atonement that is highly creative while remaining attentive to the Scriptures and sensitive to tradition. This book will inform and challenge students of theology in welcome ways.”
Atonement and the Life of Faith
Theology
“In this delightful work, Adam Johnson draws us deep into the wonders of the doctrine of the atonement. Eschewing partisan efforts that tell us what to think on the subject, Johnson guides us instead to reflect upon how we think about the atonement and how it relates to Christian life and worship. In the process, he sheds new light on the manifold riches of Scripture and the plentiful insights of tradition, offering welcome counsel both theological and spiritual.”
Theology
“In this short but lucid work, Gabriel traces with insight and care the key contours of the doctrine of creation in the work of Karl Barth and engages thoughtfully with the principal lines of criticism it has encountered. The result is an excellent introduction to Barth's understanding of creation, evidencing both its doctrinal sophistication and its continuing significance.”
Theology
“For a very long time, memorialist understandings of the Lord’s Supper have been the poor—even disparaged—relations of eucharistic theology. In this compelling work, however, Steven Nemes sets forth an impressively rigorous memorialist position that is biblically grounded, theologically robust, and philosophically coherent. He thereby adds to a growing awareness of the integrity and significance of such accounts of the Lord’s Supper and does so with especial lucidity and welcome insight.”
Theology
“Renewed attention to the doctrine of the church is a notable feature of recent Protestant works of systematic theology. This collection offers an array of informed and insightful essays that not only address but also develop the current dialogue in creative ways. This volume thus marks a warmly welcome addition to the ongoing conversation.”
Theology
“In this compelling study, Hagan presents a comprehensive treatment of Schleiermacher's innovative doctrine of election. With sustained attention to the underlying contexts of German Reformed Protestantism and Prussian church union, Hagan provides an insightful exposition and perceptive analysis of the development of Schleiermacher's understanding of election and its systematic implications. . . . This is a deeply impressive and highly engaging book, offering an accomplished contribution to the ongoing renaissance in Schleiermacher studies.”
Christian Living
“This book provides a wonderful primer in contemporary discipleship—scripturally engaged, theologically informed, and utterly relevant. Bräutigam invites the reader to reflect afresh upon the deep complexities of the Christian life in the present world, and challenges us to embrace them fully and to be transformed radically. This is work that will appeal to mind and heart, and deserves to be widely read.”
Theology
“In this characteristically insightful work, Fred Sanders illumines the deep and inextricable connections between the doctrine of the Trinity and the doctrine of salvation. Treading a difficult path through the theological temptations and perils on either side, he sets out a sound programmatic agenda for constructive Trinitarian thinking today. Deeply rooted in Scripture and widely informed by tradition, this volume is a welcome and salutary addition to the shelves of both theologians and pastors.”
Theology
“In this insightful study, Robert Leigh sheds fresh light on the conception of divine freedom and human freedom in the work of Karl Barth. Drawing on the hitherto under-explored resources of Church Dogmatics IV/3, Leigh sets forth an actualistic and participative theology of freedom that sets aside any abstract disjunction of God and humanity in favor of attesting their gracious covenant relation in Jesus Christ. This is a book as rewarding as it is compelling.”
Theology
“This volume offers a lucid and thoughtful exploration of one of the most vexing points of the Christian faith—the doctrine of election. Attending in turn to its scriptural foundation, historical development, and contemporary complexity, Lindsay does not shy away from any of the difficult aspects of the teaching, but seeks to further its understanding in a way that evidences his years of wrestling with its meaning and significance. In doing so, he provides readers less familiar with the doctrine with a sensitive, helpful guide that is sure to provoke deeper reflection and further reading.”
Theology
“In this significant monograph, Matthew Lewis Sutton brings expositional clarity and conceptual rigour to the extensive textual legacy of Adrienne von Speyr. It is a real accomplishment that this is achieved without any unnecessary sacrifice of the vibrancy and immediacy of her Trinitarian mystical theology. But perhaps the greatest achievement of this volume is to demonstrate that von Speyr's contemplative work is worthy of attention and study, not simply as an adjunct of the theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar, but in its own impressive right.”
Karl Barth and the Making of Evangelical Theology
Theology
“A delightful volume. . . . The authors use Karl Barth’s only visit to the United States as a springboard to inspire a range of historical, theological, ethical, contextual, and current reflections. The result is a welcome series of polished, considered, insightful contributions to Barth studies in particular and to contemporary theology in general. Even more, the reader is inspired to take up anew the works of Barth. Highly recommended.”
Karl Barth and the Resurrection of the Flesh
Theology
“In this engaging monograph, Hitchcock offers a challenging exploration and analysis of Karl Barth's theology of the resurrection. This is detailed in its presentation, provocative in its critique, and lucid throughout. Hitchcock's study is set to be an important conversation partner in the fields of Barth studies in particular and eschatology in general.”
Theology
“In this lucid volume, W. Travis McMaken does English-speaking readers of theology not one but two great services. First, he offers an illuminating and insightful sketch of the life and work of Helmut Gollwitzer, one of the most important yet seldom studied European Protestant theologians of the twentieth century. And second, he indicates why the venture of shedding light on the theology and politics of this particular thinker may bear crucial significance for Christians and churches in the present day. This book is both deeply relevant and highly provocative, posing a theological and political challenge that will encourage and unsettle in equal measure. Warmly recommended.”
Philosophy, History, and Theology
“"This volume gathers together in one place a delightful selection of book reviews from the hand of Alan Sell. Few scholars working today are able to match the consummate ease with which he traverses the disciplines of philosophy, history, and theology, and fewer still are able to match his accompanying expertise. This collection evidences not only his polymathic knowledge and penetrating insight, but also the humble grace and gentle humor that illuminate all his work.”
Theology
“This book presents a bold and provocative theology of the Lord’s Supper and brings a fresh and constructive voice to contemporary conversation around the sacrament. Inspired by the Reformed tradition, but moving quickly to her own, scripturally informed and highly creative path, Yeung construes the Lord’s Supper as a divine and human act which both instantiates corporate table-fellowship and issues a sociopolitical ethical imperative. This is intelligent and thoughtful work that deserves close attention.”
Theology
“In . Spirit and Liberality, George Newlands offers a series of essays and sermons charting the contours of a vibrant liberal theology. With characteristic passion and discernment, he engages a wide array of discourses and figures, thereby embodying in practice the inclusive, dialogical, and hospitable approach to the theological task for which his work calls, and challenging the reader to reconceive the contemporary shape of a faithful response to the gospel. Radical yet grounded, prophetic yet humble, and above all insightful--this collection comes highly recommended.”
Theology
“This volume provides the reader with a wonderful and welcome chance to reflect with John Webster on the task of theology--its methods, sources, contexts, purpose, and character. The lectures presented here are redolent with the freshness, insight, and wisdom that characterize the finest theological inquiry. They leave one inspired and encouraged, yet also gloriously unsettled by the vocation of theology and its demands. Complete with an illuminating introduction by Ivor Davidson, this work comes highly recommended.”
