Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Freedom Redemption and Communion Studies in
Book SynopsisOliver D. Crisp studies the topics of human freedom, redemption and communion with one another and God, which are central themes in Christian theology. The chapters of this volume are arranged according to how they would appear in a traditional dogmatics: dealing with issues concerning human free will and sin, studies on the person of Christ in recent theology, and human redemption. The book ends with pieces examining two important issues in Christian practice, namely, the Eucharist and prayer. Deeply engaged with the Christian tradition, and exemplifying a generous orthodoxy, this work makes a constructive theological case for the vitality and importance of Reformed theology today.Trade ReviewIn this book we find Oliver Crisp doing just what we have come to expect from his prodigious body of work: demonstrating with astonishing clarity, care, and creativity the depth and subtlety of resources that the Reformed tradition affords for our thinking about the doctrinal loci central to Christian confession. -- Sameer Yadav, Westmont College, USAIn this erudite collection of studies, Oliver Crisp presents a series of further explorations into the substance of Reformed theology. With characteristic acuity and insight, he considers questions of signal and perennial importance in Christian doctrine, and advances creative responses that inform, challenge, and stimulate. This is compelling work, and comes warmly recommended. -- Paul T Nimmo, University of Aberdeen, UKThis is Oliver Crisp at his best. Exploring important theological matters with characteristic precision, Crisp invites us to grapple with these issues through inviting prose and careful analysis. Alongside the impressive range of topics engaged by Crisp is the extraordinary range of conversation partners he includes. Each essay in this volume, and the constructive proposal contained therein, deserves careful consideration. -- Kristen Deede Johnson, Western Theological Seminary, USAIn these essays, Oliver Crisp moves several steps deeper into the soteriological core of Christian doctrine. Always taking his bearings from the doctrines of God and Christ, he engages in free discussion with a wide range of classic and contemporary theological positions, clarifying not only his own views but those of his dialogue partners. -- Fred Sanders, Biola University, USATable of ContentsAcknowledgement Preface Part One: Freedom and Sin 1.Providence and Libertarian Calvinism 2.Sin in Reformed Theology Part Two: Person of Christ 3.Andrew Loke’s Preconscious Christ 4.Colin Gunton’s Christology Part Three: Applied Salvation 5.Anglican Hypothetical Universalism 6.T.

Oxford University Press Analytic Theology
Book SynopsisPhilosophy in the English-speaking world is dominated by analytic approaches to its problems and projects; but theology has been dominated by alternative approaches. Many would say that the current state in theology is not mere historical accident, but is, rather, how things ought to be. On the other hand, many others would say precisely the opposite: that theology as a discipline has been beguiled and taken captive by ''continental'' approaches, and that the effects on the discipline have been largely deleterious. The methodological divide between systematic theologians and analytic philosophers of religion is ripe for exploration. The present volume represents an attempt to begin a much-needed interdisciplinary conversation about the value of analytic philosophical approaches to theological topics. Most of the essays herein are sympathetic toward the enterprise the editors are calling analytic theology; but, with an eye toward balance, the volume also includes essays and an introductTrade Reviewan excellent collection of essays, and one that analytic theologians and philosophers of religion will no doubt highly value ... highly recommended. * Kevin Timpe, Religious Studies *The editors of this volume have elicted new essays from an impressive list of contributors, including both long established figures in philosophy and theology and other relatively new... these are good essays well worth reading, * Gordon Graham, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *Table of ContentsI: IN DEFENSE OF ANALYTIC THEOLOGY ; II: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES ; III: ON THE DATA FOR THEOLOGY: SCRIPTURE, REASON, AND EXPERIENCE ; IV: ANALYTIC APPROACHES RECONSIDERED

Rowman & Littlefield Uncovering Calvin’s God: John Calvin on
Book SynopsisAlthough “God loves you” is a common paraphrase of Christian teaching and preaching, a close reading of the Bible and attention to the Christian tradition will reveal passages of Scripture and Christian doctrines‒‒ particularly John Calvin’s doctrine of predestination‒‒that seem to undermine confidence in God’s love for all people. For many theologians, not only in the Reformed tradition, the secret decree of Calvin’s God to save some and condemn others seems completely to undercut any assurance of salvation and the ability to trust in and worship God. However, pastor and scholar John Calvin confidently spoke of God as a loving Father throughout his teaching and preaching. In Uncovering Calvin’s God, Forrest H. Buckner unearths Calvin’s teaching about the God of love who reigns sovereign over predestination. Drawing upon sources from across Calvin’s corpus, Buckner examines Calvin’s teaching on the knowledge of God and the doctrine of predestination to provide a more robust and cohesive understanding of Calvin’s theology, which Buckner then confirms through an extensive examination of Calvin’s preaching in Geneva. He then offers a critical comparison of Calvin’s approach with the teaching of Luther, Zwingli, Bullinger, Arminius, and Barth. Using Calvin’s system as a starting point, this book helps readers perceive the essentials and trade-offs of any doctrine of predestination that takes seriously both the Bible and the loving God revealed in Jesus Christ.Table of ContentsChapter 1: One Disposition or Two? Framing the QuestionChapter 2: The Knowledge of God: God’s Revealed NatureChapter 3: God’s Disposition Toward Humanity in PredestinationChapter 4: Integration: One Disposition and a Two-Fold WillChapter 5: Calvin’s Preaching: Testing our FindingsChapter 6: Predestination and God’s Love in Recent Calvin ScholarshipChapter 7: Calvin in Dialogue: Placing the MysteryChapter 8: Predestination in the Key of Jesus Christ

Rowman & Littlefield Uncovering Calvin’s God: John Calvin on
Book SynopsisAlthough “God loves you” is a common summary of the central message of Christian teaching and preaching, a close reading of the Bible and attention to the Christian tradition will reveal passages of Scripture and Christian doctrines‒‒particularly John Calvin’s doctrine of predestination‒‒that seem to undermine confidence in God’s love for all people. For numerous theologians, including many within the Reformed tradition, the secret decree of Calvin’s God to save some and condemn others seems to undercut completely one’s assurance of salvation along with one’s ability to trust in and worship God. However, pastor and scholar John Calvin confidently spoke of God as a loving Father throughout his teaching and preaching. In Uncovering Calvin’s God, Forrest H. Buckner unearths Calvin’s teaching about the God of love who reigns sovereign over predestination. Drawing upon sources from across Calvin’s corpus, Buckner examines Calvin’s teaching on the knowledge of God and the doctrine of predestination to provide a more robust and cohesive understanding of Calvin’s theology, which Buckner then confirms through an extensive examination of Calvin’s preaching in Geneva. He then offers a critical comparison of Calvin’s approach with the teaching of Luther, Zwingli, Bullinger, Arminius, and Barth. Using Calvin’s system as a starting point, this book helps readers perceive the essentials and trade-offs of any doctrine of predestination that takes seriously both the Bible and the loving God revealed in Jesus Christ. Trade ReviewCalvin's doctrine of predestination has long received much attention and just as much misinterpretation. Forrest H. Buckner proves that close reading of Calvin's texts and careful listening to his sermons brings new perspectives on this topic and helps to better understand the reformer. This book is an important contribution to Calvin research and to theology that wants to be relevant for the church. -- Herman J. Selderhuis, author of John Calvin: A Pilgrim's LifeThis is a carefully researched and instructive study on a topic of central importance in Calvin’s thought. In clear and engaging prose, Buckner reliably guides readers into the heart of Calvin’s teaching about predestination, the love of God, and God’s disposition toward humanity, and he does so with admirable scholarly fairness and pastoral sensitivity. -- Adam A. Neder, Whitworth UniversityBuckner’s published dissertation is readable, well-documented, and pastoral in tone. The reader will find in the author a sympathetic listener who is willing to work through the hard questions and provide twenty-first-century guidance based upon the teachings of an earlier pastor. * Calvin Theological Journal *Table of ContentsChapter 1: One Disposition or Two?

Zondervan The Task of Dogmatics
Book SynopsisDefining the Nature, Process, and Mission of Dogmatic Discourse. Theologians often discuss method in a remote and preliminary way that suggests they are not yet speaking theologically when speaking methodologically. But it is also possible to reflect on the work of Christian dogmatics in a way that is self-consciously nourished by biblical reasoning, resourced by tradition, joined up with ecclesial practice, and alert to spiritual dynamics.Bringing together theologians who are actively engaged in the writing and editing of extended dogmatics projects, The Task of Dogmatics represents the proceedings of the 2017 Los Angeles Theology Conference and seeks to provide constructive accounts of the nature of the dogmatic task.The eleven diverse essays in this collection include discussions on: Identifying theology''s pattern and norm.
