“This volume of judiciously selected texts guides readers through a delightful array of riches in the work of Herman Bavinck. It contains important excerpts from his early writings in Franeker and Kampen and from his late works in Amsterdam, as well as—above all—from his towering theological achievement, Reformed Dogmatics. Complete with helpful introductions and insightful annotations by the supremely qualified editors, this volume represents a wonderful introduction and helpful resource for all those seeking to encounter or reencounter this Dutch master.”
Theology
“This volume offers a delightful and illuminating approach to the theology of Karl Barth, one of the most significant theologians in the Protestant tradition. Johnson serves as a well-equipped and sure-footed guide as he draws the reader gently into key excerpts from Barth's rather daunting and multifaceted corpus of work. Johnson is judicious in his selection of texts, insightful in his introductions, annotations, and explanations, and considered in his rendering of the life and legacy of Barth. The result is a highly impressive achievement, offering an accessible yet informative pathway into the writings of this visionary theologian.”
The Foremost Problems of Contemporary Dogmatics
World Religions
“As Bavinck explores the key question of how to construe faith in a modern era, readers are treated to his reflections on the theologies of the Reformation, the nineteenth century, and the turn to the twentieth century, as well as—and perhaps above all—on the thought of Kant, Schleiermacher, and Hegel. Filled with Bavinck's characteristic insight and vision, these erudite lectures make for fascinating reading.”
Theology
“In this insightful work, Ross Hastings attends to the ascension, that most overlooked event in the history of Jesus Christ, and presents a luminous account seeking to retrieve its significance and highlight its wonder. Hastings offers an account that is—characteristically—deeply informed by Scripture and tradition, encouraging us to consider the doctrinal landscape from the refreshing perspective of the ascension. But this account also cares deeply about the Christian life and about the church and its mission in the present. Perhaps above all, this is an uplifting book, drawing our vision upward toward the glory of God, the beauty of the ascended Christ, and the assurance of heaven, offering hope in uncertain times. It comes warmly recommended.”
The Identity and the Life of the Church
Theology
“This illuminating work provides a systematic exploration of the close relationship between anthropology and ecclesiology in the theology of John Calvin. With care and insight, Kim details and analyzes the connections between the relational, trinitarian, and eschatological dynamics of the former, and the functional and spiritual aspects of the latter. The result is an accomplished contribution to ongoing work in Calvin studies.”
Theology
“Rejecting the traditions of Princeton and New England, the Mercersburg theologians set forth a vibrant and mystical understanding of the living Savior which resourced and permeated their high ecclesiological and sacramental convictions, challenging the Reformed sensibilities of their days and continuing to inspire theologians today. The resultant collection will be of interest to church historians and doctrinal theologians, both those with particular interests in the Reformed tradition and those with wider concerns for the ecumenical conversation. Lucidly introduced, scrupulously edited, and beautifully presented, this text is a delightful addition to the library.”
Theology
“This book is the first major volume to explore the profound connection between the threefold Word of God and the theology of the church in the work of Karl Barth. In drawing attention to this link, and in analyzing its historical development, doctrinal content, and practical significance, Chris Currie makes a profound contribution to contemporary conversations in Barth studies. But even more than this, Currie offers a compelling vision for the church in general, advocating the ongoing relevance and dynamic centrality of this threefold Word of God, especially in its dimension of proclamation, in the Christian community today. This is an informed, insightful, and generative work that merits careful attention from both theologians and pastors.”
Theology
“Exhibiting lucid analysis and deep insight, The Sign of the Gospel offers an impressive exploration of the doctrine of baptism in the theology of Karl Barth. McMaken traces the historic and scriptural backdrop to Barth's position, analyses his mature rejection of infant baptism, and constructs one way of accepting infant baptism within Barth's framework. The result is a welcome and significant contribution to Barth studies in particular and sacramental theology in general.”
The Story of Creeds and Confessions
Theology
“This volume provides a wonderful introduction to the creeds and confessions of the Christian church. It attends carefully to the various historical contexts within which these diverse texts were written and deployed and offers insightful comment on the theological claims that they advance. The result is a work that spurs the reader to greater appreciation and deeper understanding of the tradition of the church and the way in which its official texts have served at different points to express unity, continuity, and disruption. Above all, Fairbairn and Reeves witness to the desirability of taking these documents seriously not only as historical artifacts but also as ongoing witnesses, insisting that what binds Christians together is of much greater significance than what separates them.”
Theology
“This detailed study focuses on one central feature of the Christology of T. F. Torrance: the doctrine of the fallen humanity of Jesus Christ. With patience, diligence, and insight, Chiarot explores the presentation and ramifications of Torrance's deliberations on this locus. The result is an at times illuminating, at times controversial, but always stimulating and engaging work, which merits careful and sustained scholarly attention.”
Theology
“In this concise yet illuminating volume, Anthony Thiselton offers the reader an introduction to the work of Wolfhart Pannenberg, one of the most neglected figures of twentieth-century theology. With characteristic verve and insight, Thiselton depicts the highways and vistas of Pannenberg’s thinking, drawing attention to its context and its originality while offering perceptive lines of critique. For those seeking a trustworthy guide to Pannenberg, this book is an ideal choice.”
Theology
“This volume offers an unsurpassed introduction to the work of Adolf Schlatter, one of the most influential yet most neglected voices in modern theology. Brautigam provides not only a contoured analysis of Schlatter's engagements with exegesis, dogmatics, and ethics, focusing particularly on Schlatter's Christology, but also articulates carefully both the historical context and the contemporary relevance and significance of the work of Schlatter. This is a very fine study and comes highly recommended.”
