proving to be the most pivotal theological figure of the twenty-first century as well. It
is no wonder some have referred to Karl Barth as a “Father” of the Church. His work
has occasioned appreciation, critique, and rejection, but however one responds to
Barth, one must reckon with him in pursuing the theological task.
This volume draws together scholars whose essays exhibit work “after Barth” in
engaging the doctrine of the Trinity and its related themes. Barths thought allows
for a variety of interpretations and it is this variety that gives such vibrancy to the
essays in this volume by seasoned Barth scholars and voices new to the conversation.
Contributors include: Ivor J. Davidson, Bruce L. McCormack, John C. McDowell,
Paul D. Molnar, Murray A. Rae, and a Foreword by John B. Webster.
exciting, and difficult topics to study; it is also one of the
most rewarding. The identity and mission of the Holy Spirit is pervasive
throughout Scripture and the Great Tradition, and within
contemporary Christianity it is one of the most popular topics
currently being explored. Here ten scholars present twelve essays
spanning biblical, hermeneutical, theological, and practical disciplines.
The result is not an evangelical pneumatology in systematic
fashion, nor is it a comprehensive theology of the Holy Spirit.
Rather, this volume presents explorations in pneumatology from a
variety of evangelical scholars working in varying contexts (mostly
the South Pacific basin) but each wrestling equally with what the
Spirit of Truth is saying to the churches today. This is a work of
outstanding scholarship with essays by Canadian theologian Gary
Badcock and a cast of established and emerging Kiwi- or New
Zealand-theologians, which gives the work a unique contextual
flavor alongside its ecumenical and evangelical commitment.
Christ and the Spirit are mutually constitutive. Or at least this should be the case.
e history of Christian thought shows that Logos Christology has dominated,
resulting in both an eclipse of Trinitarian doctrine and a diminution of pneumatology.
Recently there have been calls to reclaim a theology of the ird Article in
order to present a Trinitarian theology that is faithful to Scripture, the Great Tradition,
and one that is existentially viable. While studies examine various aspects of
Spirit Christology there has yet to appear a work that introduces the doctrine,
examines the various mutually exclusive proposals, and offers a constructive
trinitarian proposal. e present work does just this, introducing the constituent
features of a Spirit Christology that is Trinitarian, orthodox, and contemporary.
e current work proposes a model of Spirit Christology that complements rather
than replaces Logos Christology and does so in a robustly Trinitarian framework.
Within contemporary theology a pneumatically oriented approach to Christology
is being advanced across denominational and traditional lines. ose wanting to
navigate their way through the many competing proposals for a ird Article theology
will find a comprehensive map here.
doctrine of creation and anthropology, his characterisation of the incarnation,
his accounts of reconciliation and union with Christ, and his theology of church
and sacraments. Myk Habets’ study distinguishes Torrance’s Reformed vision of
theosis from other possible accounts of salvation as divinisation as they are found,
for instance, within patristic thought and Eastern Orthodoxy.
This book presents the first critique of the theology of T.F. Torrance to focus
on theosis, and examines a model of theosis within the realm of reformed theology
built upon Western theology.
