Personal and communal tragedies provoke intense emotions. In Scripture, these emotions were given expression in complaints or laments, the latter being the most frequent genre of psalm. Laments are found throughout the Bible, also appearing in Prophets (the book of Lamentations is in fact named for this human response to tragedy). Yet neither lament nor complaint seems to be widely practiced in churches today, except at times of extreme commun...

Humans are lovers, and yet a good deal of pedagogical theory, Christian or otherwise, assumes an anthropology at odds with human nature, fixed in a model of humans as "thinking things". Turning to Augustine, or at least Augustine in conversation with Aquinas, Martin Heidegger, the overlooked Jesuit thinker Bernard Lonergan, and the important contemporary Charles Taylor, this book provides a normative vision for Christian higher education. A ph...

In his teaching and his writing, Paul L. Holmer (1916-2004) not only made important contributions to recent theology, but was also much in demand as a public speaker and preacher. He was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota (1946-1960) and Noah Porter Professor of Philosophical Theology at Yale Divinity School (1960-1987). In 2005, following his death, his family donated his papers to the Yale Divinity School Library. In th...

Early Christian writers preferred to speak of the coming resurrection in the most bodily way possible: the resurrection of the flesh. The twentieth-century theologian Karl Barth took the same approach, daring to speak of humans' eternal life in striking corporeal terms. In this study, Nathan Hitchcock pulls together Barth's doctrine of the resurrection of the flesh, anticipating what the great thinker might have said more systematically in vol...

Harold Hegstad, one of Norway's most eminent theologians, puts together both dogmatic and doctrinal ecclesiologies in this compelling analysis of the theological Christian tradition. What is the relationship between the church we believe in and the church we experience? Is there an invisible church that is different from the visible? This book is an argument for an ecclesiology of the visible. The only church, the real church, is a concrete...

Magisterial in scope and scrupulous in its investigation and attribution of sources, "Church and Ethical Responsibility in the Midst of World Economy" is a detailed examination of the history of capitalism, its defenders and its critics, with the aim of developing a theological critique of both the material and spiritual failures of the modern global economy. Professor Chung traces the development of capitalism from the sixteenth century onw...

This collection of essays from established scholars and rising stars offers fresh perspectives in eschatology for the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements. The fresh readings of eschatology in this volume are valuable because they demonstrate that Pentecostals no longer need to look to others to interpret their theology for them but can stand as scholars and thinkers in their own right.

Dust or Dew addresses the question of Israel's unique contribution to beliefs about afterlife in the Ancient Near East as hinted at in Psalm 49. Dust or Dew shows which other readings, from the literature of both ancient Israel and its neighbours, enriches our understanding not only of the psalm and but also of Israel's developing concepts of sheol and redemption for the righteous.

Was Paul shaped by the movement that began with the teaching and activities of Jesus, or did he start something new? Attempts to answer this question one way or the other have a long history dating back to the nineteenth century. The purpose of this book is to raise the question again in light of more recent scholarly work - especially in light of historical Jesus research and the so-called New Perspective on Paul. The strategy employed is t...

In the spring of 1946, Jean Daniélou published an article with the title 'Les orientations presents de la pensée religieuse' for Études. Daniélou's article - at least according to his critics - set the programme for what would be later referred to as la nouvelle théologie. Daniélou's influence was defi nitive at the (loosely understood) inception of the movement, which continued to Vatican II. There has since been relatively little written abo...

In 'The Roots of William Tyndale's Theology' Ralph S. Werrell draws on his close acquaintanceship with the writings of Tyndale to speculate about Tyndale's theological foundations. The common assumption that the Reformation started with Martin Luther has harmed research into the English Reformation and consideration of the theology of Tyndale in particular. The author shows that Tyndale was not influenced by the Continental Reformers to the su...

In his distinctive work, Christopher Scarf explores the writings of the three most prominent Oxford "Inklings" - Charles Williams (1886-1945), C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), and J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) - to reveal and contrast their conceptions of the ideal of 'kingship', divine, human, and mythological. As practising Christians, the faith of all three writers was central to their literary and personal visions of kingship, society, love, beauty, j...
