Book SynopsisDarren Sarisky is Tutor in Doctrine and Ministry at Wycliffe Hall and member of the Faculty of Theology and Religion at the University of Oxford, UK.Trade ReviewThe Christian tradition is rich with perennial truths about who God is and who we are in relation to him. The work of theology requires the wisdom and insight to determine whether and how to mine those truths in ways that are not only faithful to their original presentation but also relevant to addressing the concerns and challenges of our times. This book brings into fruitful conversation some of the leading voices in the debate, providing a valuable resource for those prepared to undertake the arduous and delicate task of retrieval. * Lydia Schumacher, King’s College London, United Kingdom *Sarisky’s Theologies of Retrieval is a significant and indispensable contribution to the central problem of theology: its relation to its historical past and tradition and its ability to retrieve in a creative way what is central to the ongoing life of Christian communities. Sarisky has assembled a top list of diverse theologians, who engage the main issues both historically and constructively. The book is a must read for anyone and any course interested in the Christian tradition and its retrieval. * Francis Schüssler Fiorenza, Harvard Divinity School, USA *Table of ContentsIntroduction, Darren Sarisky (University of Oxford, UK) I.

Book SynopsisEmploying Northrop Frye's system of archetypal literary criticism the use of romance, tragedy, irony and satire, and comedy Brian Larsen offers a compelling summary of the essential governing framework and means of exchange between literature and theology. Characters in the Fourth Gospel are examined through a specific archetype, and, reciprocally, these characters illuminate and inform important theological aspects of their respective archetypes: Jesus and romance (hero story); Pilate and tragedy; the Jews and Thomas and irony; and Peter and comedy. This volume further clarifies the understanding of Frye's archetypesand identifies the key variable between each one: the relationship between (1) a belief or ideal and (2) experience or reality. Helping to advance dialogue between literature, biblical studies and theology, and providing insightful readings for a number of Fourth Gospel characters and texts, Larsen's examination will appeal to those seeking a new perspective on the theTrade Review[Larsen] successfully integrates a wide range of sources and ideas to enhance reading of the Gospel of John, and the recognition of various characters according to type. Larsen’s interdisciplinary approach proves that profound insight is found in the overlap between specializations. * Reading Religion *The archetypal approach to literature is a necessary lens for anyone who reads and interprets literary texts, including ones in the Bible … As someone who never abandoned the archteypal approach to literary analysis, my heart leaped when I became aware of Brian Larsen’s application of that approach to the Gospel of John. * Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Preface Introduction 1.

In enabling us to consider its plausibility vis-à-vis the default position of emergentism, she has produced a work of originality and significance. -- David Fergusson, Professor of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, UKThis is the best book-length treatment of panpsychism in relation to Christian theology in print. Joanna Leidenhag has produced an outstanding systematic study to this new area of philosophical and theological inquiry. -- Charles Taliaferro, Overby Distinguished Chair and Professor of Philosophy, St. Olaf College, USAPanpsychism is a novel theory of consciousness which has attracted much attention in recent years, yet very few have considered the theological implications of this view. In Minding Creation, Joanna Leidenhag offers a carefully reasoned, lucid discussion that explores the rationale for incorporating panpsychism into Christianity.

Book SynopsisGeorges Florovsky (1893-1979) was one of the most prominent Orthodox theologians and ecumenists of the twentieth century. His call for a return to patristic writings as a source of modern theological reflection had a powerful impact not only on Orthodox theology in the second half of the twentieth century, but on Christian theology in general. Florovsky was also a major Orthodox voice in the ecumenical movement for four decades and he is one of the founders of the World Council of Churches. This book is a collection of major theological writings by George Florovsky. It includes representative and widely influential but now largely inaccessible texts, many newly translated for this book, divided into four thematic sections: Creation, Incarnation and Redemption, The Nature of Theology, Ecclesiology and Ecumenism, and Scripture, Worship and Eschatology. A foreword by Metropolitan Kallistos Ware presents the theological vision of Georges Florovsky and discusses the continuing relevanceTrade ReviewThe volume represents a truly superb work of scholarship by two experts in the field: the essays that it contains are carefully curated, meticulously edited, extensively annotated and effectively introduced. ... This is an essential book for anyone with an interest in Orthodox theology, Russian intellectual history and the Orthodox position in ecumenical debate. * Modern Believing *Table of ContentsForeword Met.

Book SynopsisUlrik Nissen is Associate Professor of Ethics and Philosophy of Religion at Aarhus University, Denmark.Trade ReviewThe book is especially valuable in helping acquaint an English readership with theological debates in the Nordic context, and in particular in Denmark. Anyone interested in debates over public reason, method in religious ethics, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther will benefit greatly from reading this book. * Studies in Christian Ethics *An excellent, concise, clear overview of Protestant social teaching in the last century. Written with erudition, it warns against understanding justification by faith individualistically, and affirms a Christologically shaped understanding of natural law. This is a compelling account of why and how Christian faith may still play an important public role. * Esther D. Reed, University of Exeter, UK *Ulrik Nissen’s The Polity of Christ contributes to the renewal of Lutheran social ethics by building on the basis of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Christology. In doing so, Nissen provides a theological foundation for understanding the nature and basis of Christian witness in a contemporary context, and he demonstrates how confessing Jesus Christ as Lord should simultaneously constitute the affirmation of, and taking responsibility for, a just and generous common life with others. * Luke Bretherton, Duke Divinity School, USA *This careful reading of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s work uses the scope of the Christological tradition of Chalcedon to develop a significant model for ethics, overcoming the incompatibility of universal validity and particular ethical identity. This book sets the stage for a unique universal Christological grammar, making it possible to communicate Christian ethics into a common world. * Hans G. Ulrich, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Abbreviations Chapter 1: Introducing Christian Ethics Between Universality and Specificity Chapter 2: The Simultaneity of Divinity and Humanity in Luther’s Social Ethics Chapter 3: The Chalcedonian Christology in Bonhoeffer’s Ethics Chapter 4: The Christological Shaping of Central Concepts in Bonhoeffer’s Ethics Chapter 5: Bonhoeffer’s Social Ethics Between Universality and Specificity Chapter 6: Political Thought in the Polity of Christ Chapter 7: Living in the Saeculum and Bearing Witness to Christ Conclusion Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisAdam J. Johnson received his PhD from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield IL, and is Associate Professor of Theology at the Torey Honors Institute, Biola University, USA.Trade ReviewA valuable resource. [T&T Clark Companion to the Atonement] is now the most comprehensive, up-to-date, multi-author volume on the matter. … Johnson has done everyone involved in the conversation around atonement a magnificent service. I’m sure I’ll be returning to this volume time and time again. * Derek Rishmawy, Reformedish *You will not agree with everything you read, but everything you read will inspire—if you let it. * Reading Religion *Readers will find here a wonderful array of topics matched by a superb selection of contributors, largely Reformed or Evangelical but also including eminent Catholic and Orthodox scholars. Very few books are absolutely necessary, but this one is an exception. Adam Johnson has outdone himself by producing what is truly an absolutely necessary book for anyone studying the Atonement. * Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary, USA *This is simply the most comprehensive single volume on the saving significance of the cross of Christ of which I am aware. The line-up of contributors is excellent, and in these one hundred chapters (yes you read that correctly) there is much understanding: of biblical texts, historical figures, and theological concepts. If the doctrine of the atonement is indeed the church's act of worship, as the editor suggests, then this Companion is a living and lively sacrifice of praise, what the King James Version calls a 'reasonable service' (Rom 12:1). * Kevin J.

Book SynopsisVicky Balabanski is Associate Professor at Flinders University South Australia, the Adelaide College of Divinity and Uniting College for Leadership and Theology. She is an editor of the Earth Bible project.Trade ReviewBased on many years of research into ancient Stoicism, ecological hermeneutics, and the letter to the Colossians, this commentary offers a rich and compelling reading of the letter which is both scholarly and accessible. Vicky Balabanski shows the importance of Stoic ideas both to early Christian theology and to contemporary ecological reflection, and her eco-Stoic reading of Colossians shows how much this letter could contribute to the ecological reshaping of Christian theology and ethics. Her imaginative voicing of Nympha’s thoughts also adds a creative and reflective dimension to the commentary. Unlike existing commentaries, this work brings the letter’s theology – especially its Christology – into explicit dialogue with contemporary ecological questions, and thus provides rich resources for Christians in particular to address the most urgent global issue of our time. * David G. Horrell, University of Exeter, UK *Balabanski’s expertise with biblical, ecological and gender analyses, and her deep commitments to biblical wisdom and ecological health, bring Colossians to life. This book is an essential contribution to the field of ecological theology, assisting individuals and communities to embrace an ecological and spirit-filled future. * Heather Eaton, Saint Paul University, Canada *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Preface Acknowledgements Abbreviations Introduction Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Conclusion Bibliography Indices

Trade ReviewThese stimulating conversations between scholars at home in Irenaeus’s thought and those from a Pauline stable make a valuable contribution to an understanding of both thinkers. But more than this, they take us beyond a linear view of Pauline reception, and binary models of whether Irenaeus got Paul ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, to a more measured reflection on the contextualization of all interpretation, and of the potential of Paul — and of Irenaeus— for new readings in the face of new challenges. * JUDITH LIEU, University of Cambridge, UK *Table of ContentsList of Contributors Preface 1.

Trade ReviewJan-Olav Henriksen has produced a valuable resource for the church as it struggles to bring Christian faith to bear fruitfully on the climate crisis. He offers a deep dive into the power of symbols to engender consistent action – including political action – for transformation toward ways of living that allow earth’s climate systems to flourish. This book will be invaluable in the academy and in the church. -- Cynthia D. Moe-Lobeda, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary of California Lutheran University, USAThe late Ursula K Le Guin argued that if we going to think ourselves out of the current problems of climate change and globalization, we are going to need more speculative fiction writers. This means we need new symbols with which to imagine our planetary futures. This book is important because it critiques the underlying theological symbols of western style democracies and economics that are, in the era of the Anthropocence, quite simply deficient. We need new, planetary ways of imagining human-God-Earth relations that suggest we (and all things human) are emergent from the process of planetary evolution. -- Whitney Bauman, Florida International University, USATable of ContentsIntroduction: The Deficit Thesis and the Task It Presents Part 1: Contexts for the Symbol Deficit Chapter One: From Acts of God to the Anthropocene Chapter Two: Culprits for the Predicament Chapter Three: Consumer Idolatry Chapter Four: Religion in Denial Chapter Five: To Empower Those Who Suffer and Give Voice to Those Who Lack It Part 2: Conditions for symbolic practices Chapter Six: Symbols as Mediating Practice Chapter Seven: Conditions for Agency: A Critique of Modernity’s Detached Subject Chapter Eight: Symbols for Enhancing Moral Motivation and Avoiding Defection Chapter Nine: An Inductive, Experientially Oriented Theology Part 3: Symbols for Practices Chapter Ten: God as Creator - A Critical Symbol?

Book SynopsisThe contributors provide fresh insight into the context surrounding the composition and reception of the Psalms, the relationships between the Psalms, and of early audiences who engaged with the material. Close attention is also paid to specific interpretative problems which emerge in the Psalms, both linguistic and theological. Consequently, there is the creation of a more sophisticated historical reconstruction of how the Psalms were used originally and in subsequent periods, opening up challenges and possibilities for scholars through emphasizing the need in critical Psalms scholarship for vitality and imagination.Trade ReviewThis is a fine collection of papers which demonstrates the fruitfulness of Gillingham’s work, and which is a fitting tribute to an important scholar. * The Society for Old Testament Study Book List *Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments Abbreviations Introduction I.
