A fresh macroscopic look at Edwards describing his distinctive theology (divine communicativeness) and lifelong project (the interpretation of harmony).

In 1949, Karl Barth confidently upholds a high doctrine of divine providence, maintaining God's control of various events in history. This title investigates how the theologian, in response to the praiseworthy God of the Reformed tradition, is expected to pray his or her way through the doctrine of providence.

Assesses the way in which the Christian doctrine of the Trinity is the foundation for all other Christian doctrines, especially the Christian understanding of salvation. This book investigates in detail the approach of the German Lutheran theologian, Isaac A. Dorner (1809-1884) to this question.

A re-reading of the Pneumatology in Western theology, particularly in Augustine and Barth.

A new reading of P. T. Forsyth's soteriology, focusing on understanding his theology through the lens of the first petition of the Lord's Prayer.

This volume unveils the inner logic of Edwards's theological reasoning

From the 1920s on, Karl Barth's thought was received with great interest not only by Protestants but also by Catholic theologians, who analyzed it in detail. This title outlines how and why this happened, especially in the period leading up to Vatican II.

A constructive essay in systematic theology focused on the doctrine of God, particularly God's wrath among his other attributes.

Offers a theological rationale for an exegetical possibility and enriches a dogmatic account of the humanity of the Christ. This book refutes the objection of Thomas Aquinas by demonstrating that faith is fitting for the incarnate Son. It also offers a theological ontology which affirms divine perfection and transcendence in qualitative fashion.

Steven J. Duby examines the doctrine of divine simplicity. This discussion is centered around the three distinguishing features: grounding in biblical exegesis, use of Thomas Aquinas and the Reformed Orthodox; and the writings of modern systematic and philosophical theologians.Duby outlines the general history of the Christian doctrine of divine simplicity and discusses the methodological traits and essential contents of the dogmatic account. He substantiates the claims of the doctrine of divine simplicity by demonstrating that they are implied and required by the scriptural account of God. Duby considers how simplicity is inferred from God''s singularity and aseity, as well as how it is inferred from God''s immutability and infinity, and the Christian doctrine of creation. The discussion ends with the response to major objections to simplicity, namely that the doctrine does not pay heed to the plurality of the divine attributes, that it eradicates God''s freedom in creating the world and acting toward us; and that it does not cohere with the personal distinctions to be made in the doctrine of the Trinity.

An exploration of a conceptual distinction between Calvin's theology as christocentric in a soteriological sense, and Barth's as christocentric in a principial sense.

Shows how Donald MacKinnon's extension concept of kenosis to the doctrine of the Church offers a critical corrective to ecclesiological triumphalism. This book explores those aspects of his theological writings which challenge the claim of the liberal Catholic tradition in the Church of England to have forged an ecclesiological consensus.

Clarifies Karl Barth's understanding of the perfections and relates this to broader themes in his theology. >

A survey of unity and diversity in Christ's saving work. It draws on Karl Barth's integrated account of the doctrines of God and reconciliation, harnessing the resources contained within the doctrines of the Trinity and divine perfections to energize a properly theological account of the unity and diversity of the atonement.
