Theology
“Lincoln Harvey has managed to do something quite remarkable here: this book is at once historical and constructive; academic and accessible; detailed and concise; systematic and practical. It is good to see serious work on theology and sport, and this book is a fine example of what serious theology about contemporary issues should look like.”
A Companion to the Theology of John Webster
Theology
“As someone who was John’s student from the age of seventeen in Oxford and then his colleague for several years as a professor in Aberdeen, I cannot begin to estimate the significance of his work on my own theological development. This collection of essays on his work offers for the first time a clear and helpful introduction to Webster’s theology in the hope that others, too, might benefit from his wisdom. The authors are trustworthy guides to anyone wishing to become more familiar with the work of one of the greatest theologians of his generation.”
Theology
“This theological history of universalism from the early modern to the modern period is scholarly, nuanced, careful, and encyclopedic in scope. Uncovering the quiet stream of universalism throughout the period, A Larger Hope? reminds the theological community of the varieties and forms of universalism that have always been present in theological reasoning.”
A Model for Evangelical Theology
Theology
“Clear and accessible, this book serves evangelical students and church people alike. McFarlane guides readers to help them to form their theological commitments and articulation, and—while he draws on a range of thinkers—he never deviates from conclusions and discussions which are textured by evangelical theological commitments and emphases. This is a good introduction for any evangelical wishing to think more about the faith in which they so passionately believe: it opens up the vast horizons of theological wisdom which can be explored in praise and love of God for all eternity.”
Theology
“It is almost unthinkable that the insights of Karl Barth have yet to be fully brought to the central topic of forgiveness. In this book, Coutts not only fills this significant gap in Barth research, but does so with the care, sensitivity, and depth of analysis that is a model for any Barth reader. Any student of Barth and any theologian interested in forgiveness will find much worth in engaging seriously with this work.”
Theology
“A fascinating set of insights into a vastly underdeveloped area of theological reflection. As well as offering an account of Calvin and Edwards on the theology of childhood, this book offers a constructive account which cannot but be helpful for the church today.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“To read this work is to read the work of a profound scholar and committed disciple. This book is as exegetically and historically clear-headed as it is pastorally sensitive. Profound and accessible, this commentary shows a master at work.”
Theology
“It is good to see that those standing in the Methodist tradition are once again taking doctrine seriously, as Wesley himself did. Since there is no more important doctrine for the Christian church than the doctrine of God, this book on the Trinity is a must have for the shelves of academics and ministers in the Holiness traditions alike.”
Theology
“What does it mean to take the activity of the Spirit as a given in speaking about the church? In this volume, Werntz leads readers in a scholarly way through stories and journeys of the Spirit’s work in the church, never giving in to methodological naturalism or to ecclesial pessimism. Global in horizon and ecumenical in foundation, outlook, and scope, this book offers a wise and exciting account of the four marks of the church in a way that offers hope and looks to renewal. This book deserves reading and rereading by church people and theologians alike.”
Election, Atonement, and the Holy Spirit
Theology
“Grebe has produced a bold and important book on a central theme for Barth studies and theology more broadly. Grebe's approach of considering Barth's theology in light of biblical interpretation is not only a sound one, but also one which reflects Barth's own concerns and sets an important trajectory for Barth studies in the future.”
Faith, Politics, and Belonging
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In this collection of essays, Ian Geary is a wise guide not only to the complex political issues of our time from the position of faith, but also the divisive political instincts of our time from the position of faith. Geary charts an independent course in a series of essays which offer insight and originality on issues of faith, politics, and belonging—but most of all on the intersection of these. In these days of divisive binaries, voices like Geary’s are sorely needed.”
Theology
“This book is an exciting and important contribution to Barth studies. It breaks open the potential cul-de-sac of Barth scholarship to new conversation partners and thinkers. The result is a fascinating collection of essays that brings out new accents on Barth's work and offers constructive insights for the future of theology. . . . Let us hope this book sets an agenda for the future.”
Theology
“Without question, this is the most helpful and creative collection of essays on kenosis that currently exists in the field. The book covers biblical, historical, and systematic material and draws on a stellar cast of scholars. It is a ‘must’ for any theologian’s bookshelf.”
Theology
“In this book, for the first time, Andrew Nelson offers a detailed and careful analysis of Young’s theology: Nelson brings his own expertise as a theologian to bear on the creativity of Young, highlighting themes and emphases which serve the Christian community well. If you have read The Shack and want to think more about it, there is no better place to go.”
Theology
“Rigorous, deep, rich, scholarly, judicious, clear, but most of all exciting, Militant Grace is the very best of systematic theology. Bridging the gap between systematics, ethics, and biblical studies through its serious engagement with the apocalyptic turn and its significance for thinking about the Christian faith and the Christian life, this book offers exciting new angles on traditional theological questions and figures. For students of theology at all levels, it is a must!”
Discipleship & Christian Education
“This book is a remarkable achievement. It is fascinating and sensitive in terms of its inter-relation of pedagogical theory, philosophical reflection, theological presentation, ecclesial locatedness, pastoral awareness, multi-religious wisdom, biblical reflection, and historical contextualizing. The book is a ‘must’ for theological educators and education.”
Theology
“For anyone interested in Barth’s Christology, anthropology, theology, or ethics, this volume is a must. This is scholarship at its best: addressing a motif which is so central to the corpus of Barth’s work and yet so surprisingly understudied, Edmund Fong’s book will be of lasting significance to Barth studies and—through that—to theology more broadly. All scholars of Barth would be wise to have this on their shelves.”
Philosophy, History, and Theology
“With characteristic breadth, insight, clarity, and wit, Alan Sell's collection of book reviews offers not only a series of helpful summaries of some significant books published in history, philosophy, and theology over the past forty years, but also a glimpse into the mind of one of the great servants of philosophy, theology, and the church in our generation. There is much with which to think and wrestle in this fascinating and accessible collection.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Intellectually sophisticated, biblically drenched, pastorally sensitive, but most of all wise, this book could hardly have been produced by any other theologian than Anthony Thiselton. The culmination of a lifetime of scholarship and of deep faith, Promise and Prayer is elegant, readable, and profound. Not only academic theologians, but also church people of all kinds, are well served by this account of prayer.”
