Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Trinity Revelation and Reading A Theological Introduction To The Bible And Its Interpretation
Book SynopsisScott R. Swain is Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, FL, USA.Trade ReviewClear and persuasive in argument, deeply read in classical and modern divinity, doctrinally and spiritually astute, this is a splendid theological presentation of the nature and interpretation of Scripture. -- John Webster, King's College, University of Aberdeen, UKSimultaneously traditional and creative, this impressive volume offers a welcome introduction to Reformed dogmatics. -- Matthew Levering, Professor of Theology, University of Dayton, OH, USATrinity, Revelation, and Reading becomes in Swain's hands a three-stranded cord for the theological interpretation of Scripture that is not easily bettered. Swain derives his key interpretive categories from the Bible's own storyline. He also locates biblical interpretation, and Scripture itself, in the triune economy of covenantal communication for the sake of communion, thereby putting feet on the idea that Scripture is its own best interpreter. This is a fresh yet sound and richly satisfying account of why and how the church is to think about and read the Bible "as what it really is, the word of God" (1 Thess. 2:13). -- Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Blanchard Professor of Theology, Wheaton College and Graduate School, IL, USASummarized. * New Testament Abstracts *Directly informed and bibliographically rich -- Christoph Bultmann * Theologische Literaturzeitung, vol 139 (Bloomsbury translation) *Table of ContentsChapter 1: The Trinity, the Kingdom, and the Progress of the Word; Chapter 2: The Role of Holy Scripture in Kingdom and Covenant; Chapter 3: The Inspiration and Perfection of Holy Scripture; Chapter 4: Reading in Covenant; Conclusion.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Theological Commentary Evangelical Perspectives
Book SynopsisR. Michael Allen is Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology at Knox Theological Seminary at Fort Lauderdale, USA.Trade ReviewThis excellent collection brings together some fine examples of theological interpretation at work on particular biblical texts, along with some sympathetic assessments of the prospects for reading Scripture theologically. Each of the essays demonstrates exegetical finesse, theological alertness, and sensitivity to the spiritual dimensions of study of Scripture; taken together, they deserve a wide and attentive readership. -- Professor John Webster DD FRSE, King's College, University of Aberdeen, UKThe twofold task skilfully undertaken in this volume should inspire all Christians: first, to practice reading Scripture unabashedly as God's self-revelation with Christ Jesus at its center, while benefiting from historical-critical research; second, to do so from within the (ecclesial) act of faith and thus from a dogmatic perspective - in this case, by and large, Reformed dogmatics. Michael Allen is to be commended for his vision of theological renewal. -- Matthew Levering, University of Dayton, USATable of ContentsEditorial Introduction What is theological commentary?; Kevin Vanhoozer Jeremiah 31; A.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Law and Gospel in Emil Brunners Earlier Dialectical Theology TT Clark Studies in Systematic Theology
Book SynopsisDavid Andrew Gilland teaches at Leuphana University, Lüneberg, Germany. He received a MTS from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC and a PhD in Systematic Theology from the University of Aberdeen, UK.Trade ReviewContemporary theology has often focused upon the work of Barth to the exclusion of Brunner. This volume offers a well-researched healthy counterbalance to that trend. -- Timothy Shaun Price, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, US * Theological Book Review *[A] notable entry into this growing literature ... [R]igorous and densely packed … [and] quite successful. * Journal of Theological Studies *The level of depth explored by Gilland is marvelous. Certainly, this is a careful approach to Brunner and dialectic theology as relates to law and gospel. It is truly within the study of law and gospel that Gilland hits his highest note. Any student of Brunner or law and gospel will find this to be a book that deserves a thorough reading. -- Roger Fears * Wartburg Theological Seminary *Table of ContentsIntroduction\1.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Karl Barth on Prayer TT Clark Studies in Systematic Theology
Book SynopsisAshley Cocksworth is the Tutor in Systematic Theology at the Queen's Foundation, Birmingham, UK. He studied theology at the University of Edinburgh, UK and received his doctorate from the University of Cambridge, UK.Trade ReviewNot all theologians write about the relationship of prayer and Christian theology. In this splendid study, Cocksworth (systematic theology, Queen's Foundation, UK) offers a persuasive demonstration that prayer stands at the center of Karl Barth’s theological work. For Barth, Cocksworth writes in his conclusion, “‘prayer’ and theological ‘work’ are not imagined to be independent or sequential but one and the same.” Cocksworth describes treatments of prayer in Barth’s works before focusing on particular aspects of prayer: contemplation, petition, invocation, pneumatology, and revolt. Though Barth was uneasy with historic, contemplative prayer, Cocksworth sees his theology of the Sabbath as providing room for contemplation. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. -- D. K. McKim, Memphis Theological Seminary, USA * CHOICE *This is not only a deep and original study of Barth on prayer, engaging with the whole Church Dogmatics and a great many of this other writings, and showing how utterly central prayer is to his conception of Christian life, politics and theology; Cocksworth also sensitively relates Barth to other traditions of prayer, especially contemplation and meditation. His culminating original insight is into the importance of Barth's development beyond a main emphasis on petition to an embracing 'turn to invocation'. Anyone interested in Barth or prayer should appreciate this profound and perceptive book. * David F. Ford, University of Cambridge, UK *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Abbreviations 1.
