Theology
“A provocative and probing exploration of the senses in which Christian theology, by being faithful to its central premise and point of departure, is bound always to appear 'nonsensical' to those wedded not just to particular rationalities, but to 'rationality' as such as a primary desideratum and aspiration to be privileged above all others. The author demonstrates persuasively that reason in its highest mode may be something rather different, and better suited to the theological circumstance.”
Theology
“Denney is one of a generation of great British theologians all but eclipsed by theological pyrotechnics on the continent of Europe in the early twentieth century. As this collection demonstrates, Denney’s rediscovery is long overdue. The editors of this volume are to be congratulated for providing readers with the ideal starting point for such a venture.”
Arts & Literature
“Notions of human creativity in the arts cry out to be related positively and constructively to a robust theology of creation. In this important new study, James Watkins develops a doctrine of creation shaped from first to last by the Christian characterization of God as one who takes flesh and offers himself sacrificially for the sake of his creatures. Such costly self-emptying, he suggests, lies at the heart of all genuinely creative enterprise on the artist’s part too. A significant new perspective which offers to artists a fresh vision and grounding for their work.”
Theology
“Almost a century after his death, P. T. Forsyth’s theological voice is just as fresh and as relevant today as it ever has been. . . . This new selection of Forsyth’s essays should be welcomed and applauded not by students of historical theology alone, therefore, but by all those concerned to do constructive Christian theology for the twenty-first century.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“... a series of well-informed and responsible engagements with questions relating to human sexuality... a serious attempt to hear God's word speaking amidst the Babel of voices clamoring for attention on these topics... should be read widely within and outside the Christian community in the interest of a genuinely plural and balanced public dialogue.”
Theology
Foreword
“The name of Thomas Erskine is one of the more significant landmarks on the map of nineteenth-century British theology. Erskine, though, is little read these days, and there has long been a need for an in-depth authoritative treatment of his thought in order to rekindle our interest. Don Horrocks has provided just such a study. Horrocks' focus on Erskine's soteriology opens up distinctive perspectives on a raft of key theological themes from the doctrine of God to the nature of faith and religious experience, and the authoritative sources for theology. In addition, this informative study captures the mood of that early-mid nineteenth-century intellectual milieu which Erskine's thought both embodies and transcended. Unmatched in its analysis and evaluation of Erskine's contribution.”
Theology
“The doctrine of divine providence lies at the heart of Christian theology, yet in the modern period it has too often been neglected. In this refreshing new study Terry Wright submits traditional formulations of the doctrine to careful scrutiny, and proposes an alternative approach which integrates an account of God's action in the world with the distinctly Christian apprehension of God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”
Theology
“A sustained conversation with voices representing the Reformed tradition at its very best. In this series of judicious and illuminating studies, Dr. Crisp looks to the lessons of the past to inform our present-day engagements with some of the core doctrines of Christian faith.”
Theology
“In an original contribution, McSwain succeeds in demonstrating how Barth’s version of the Lutheran ‘simul iustus et peccator’ is radicalized by its extension to the incarnate Son and thereby to the race as a whole, transferring the pattern of Chalcedonian Christology (the so-called ‘two natures’ doctrine) into the field of anthropology. The result is a significant recasting of our ways of thinking about numerous core doctrines, including creation, atonement and incarnation as well as redemption and fall.”
Arts & Literature
“This perceptive and careful study traces the roots of MacDonald's insights in Jesus' own teaching practice, and reveals MacDonald as a skilled follower of Jesus' parabolic lead. Quite apart from its contribution to MacDonald studies, this is a book that reminds us once again in timely fashion that a gospel addressed to the mind and the will alone is unlikely to take root and grow. The seedbed of faith is an imagination taken captive by the kingdom of God and nourished by the holy spirit.”
Arts & Literature
“In recent decades, Protestant churches in particular have begun to appreciate anew the place of the arts as a stream of theological engagement with Scripture. It is to be hoped that the rich insights contained in this collection will serve this growing appreciation, ensuring that continuing appeals to ‘tradition’ as an authoritative source and norm for theology will grant due place to the distinctive contribution made by artists alongside others more typically consulted.”
The Triune God and the Charismatic Movement
Theology
“Jim Purves' study situates the charismatic movement judiciously within historical, geographical and wider theological contexts. His sympathetic yet critical evaluation, born both of firsthand engagement and careful scholarship, will be of interest to all concerned to discern where the Holy Spirit is blowing in the churches, and to relate this to the wider pattern of credal faith in the triune God.”
Arts & Literature
“Samuel Beckett and C. S. Lewis are two names most of us are probably unlikely ever to use in the same sentence. Seeing beyond the obvious differences which set Beckett and Lewis apart, Dr Jebb traces some deep underlying concerns and in doing so invites us to reckon with each in a new way. The result is an illuminating study and a valuable stimulus to further constructive conversation between theology and literature.”
