Eccentricity in Anthropology

Theology

“David Kelsey’s Eccentric Existence (2009) is a complicated, multilayered proposal to understand the Christian view of human being. It is not easy to grasp its structure and its content at first glance. Therefore I highly appreciate the effort of Stephen Milford to provide the reader with an elementary aid to find one’s bearings in Kelsey’s magnum opus. This gigantic oil tanker needs such a tugboat or a pilot to reach safely its harbor of destination.”

Karl Barth

History & Biography

“A reader who wants to acquire an overview of Karl Barth’s theology in the whole of its development—presented against the background of the turbulent times of its arising, well informed but not interrupted by scholarly debates—will find an excellent guide in Karel Blei.”

The Prophetic Call to Love and Justice

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Arnold de Graaff discovers in the Amsterdam way of biblical exegesis a third way—beyond literalism and a criticism that only tries to establish what minimally can be assumed to be historical. He carefully refers to Karel A. Deurloo’s theological approach to Genesis, his liturgical reading of Joshua, and his sketch of the theological character of the Masoretic canon. The account of his quest is simultaneously very personal as well as to the point.”
