Andrew Fuller And The Search For A Faith Worthy Of All Acceptation - Exploring Fuller’S Soteriology In Its Historical Context

by David Mark Rathel

~~34,57€~~ 31,11€ 10% OFF

 The eighteenth-century English minister Andrew Fuller lived a consequential life, debating noteworthy contemporaries such as Thomas Paine and contributing to the pioneering international work of William Carey. However, his soteriology remains his most significant theological contribution. Fuller explored the role that human agency plays in salvation''s reception, and he offered substantive theological proposals that many religious historians now credit with advancing the Evangelical Revival. Fuller''s work was both traditional and creative. He sought faithfulness to the broader Protestant tradition but developed that tradition in unique and contextually relevant ways. Despite Fuller''s influence, much research into his life and work remains. Andrew Fuller and the Search for a Faith Worthy of All Acceptation examines heretofore underutilized primary sources related to Fuller''s theological development. It attends to neglected texts produced by Fuller''s opponents and mentors. Analysing these sources provides a fresh reading of Fuller''s historical setting, one that contextualizes his theology and illuminates his constructive work on faith as a human response to the Gospel. This new interpretation allows scholars to discern more accurately the concepts that animated Fuller, the persons he sought to refute, and the sources on which he relied. This interpretation of Fuller challenges assumptions in contemporary scholarship and raises new questions for further research.

Thomas Goodwin On Union With Christ - The Indwelling Of The Spirit, Participation In Christ And The Defence Of Reformed Soteriology

by Jonathan M. Carter

35,76€ + 10% CARD

 Thomas Goodwin has been described as ''the forgotten man of English theology'' and, though known by some as a pioneer of congregationalism and a prominent member of the Westminster Assembly, the true significance and scope of his life''s work has only recently been discovered. Historical reassessment has uncovered that the majority of Goodwin''s treatises were intended to form a grand project defending Reformed soteriology in the 1650s against new threats as well as traditional opponents. Examining Goodwin''s notion of union with Christ in relation to mystical indwelling, transformation, justification and participation, this study demonstrates the central role of union with Christ in Goodwin''s soteriology. The application of salvation, he contended, must be founded on ''real'' union with Christ (i.e., mystical union forged by Christ''s indwelling) in order to advance a trinitarian, federal, high Reformed soteriology in which redemption from sin is set within a Reformed scheme of Christocentric deification. This in-depth analysis makes a fresh contribution to recent controversy over union with Christ in the post-Reformation period.

David Jones And The Craft Of Theology - Becoming Beauty

by Elizabeth R Powell

38,15€ + 10% CARD

 This is an imaginative exploration of the art of David Jones which addresses Christian teaching through engagement with selected artistic works: a poem, a painted inscription and a wood engraving. Elizabeth R. Powell''s study does not just enable readers to understand Jones but also to use his kind of loving attention in their own lives - which, Jones would argue, is theology''s most important task. Through close readings of material objects, Powell draws the reader into the participatory, performative and dialogical possibilities of the craft of theology. She frames an older style of theology in a distinctive and modern way, as a graced human practice and a place of transforming relation with the divine. Powell argues that Jones''s art works offer places of beauty in which to ''become beauty'' along the way. Located at the cross-section of theology, literature and the arts, this volume shows that being interdisciplinary is nothing less than finding ways for theology and humanity to be more richly itself.

Richard Hooker - The Architecture Of Participation

by Paul Anthony Dominiak

39,34€ + 10% CARD

 Richard Hooker''s Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity has long been acknowledged as an influential philosophical, theological and literary text. While scholars have commonly noted the presence of participatory language in selected passages of Hooker''s Laws, Paul Anthony Dominiak is the first to trace how participation lends a sense of system and coherency across the whole work. Dominiak analyses how Hooker uses an architectural framework of ''participation in God'' to build a cohesive vision of the Elizabethan Church as the most fitting way to reconcile and lead English believers to the shared participation of God. First exploring Hooker''s metaphysical architecture of participation in his accounts of law and the sacraments, Dominiak then traces how this architecture structures cognitive participation in God, as well as Hooker''s political vision of the Church and Commonwealth. The volume culminates with a summary of how Hooker provides a salutary resource for modern ecumenical dialogue and contemporary political retrievals of participation.

Donald Mackinnon'S Theology - To Perceive Tragedy Without The Loss Of Hope

by Andrew Bowyer

39,34€ + 10% CARD

 Andrew Bowyer presents the first comprehensive examination of Donald MacKinnon''s theology in relation to his moral philosophy. He offers an original and creative reading of MacKinnon''s methodology, and important insights into the key influences and core questions which stood at the heart of his work. Bowyer outlines MacKinnon''s contributions to Anglican theology in the aftermath of the Second World War, highlighting the "therapeutic" nature of his approach in as far as it combined a call for intense self-awareness with a commitment to moral realism. As one of the most influential Anglican theologians in the mid-twentieth century, MacKinnon''s writings reveal him as a restive and unsystematic thinker. However, Bowyer argues that a series of reoccurring questions - ''obsessions'' might better honour the memory of MacKinnon''s temperament -appear throughout his work, relating to the tensions between the realism and idealism, the call to be "morally serious", the nature of theological truth claims, and the perennially disruptive presence of Christ. Bowyer examines the key influences on MacKinnon''s thought, the centrality of Christology to his project, his engagement with literature and literary criticism, as well as his response to Wittgenstein''s later philosophy. This volume offers an appreciation of his contribution and a critique of his legacy.

John Owen And Hebrews - The Foundation Of Biblical Interpretation

by John W. Tweeddale

40,53€ + 10% CARD

 John W. Tweeddale reappraises John Owen''s work as a biblical exegete, offering the first analysis of his essays, or "exercitations," on Hebrews. Owen is frequently acknowledged as a leading figure of the puritan and nonconformist movements of the seventeenth century. However, while his reputation as a statesman, educator, pastor, polemicist, and theologian is widely recognized, he is not remembered as an exegete of Scripture. Yet throughout his life, Owen engaged in the task of biblical interpretation. His massive commentary on Hebrews in particular represents the apex of his career and exemplifies many of the exegetical methods of Protestants in early modern England. Although often overlooked, Owen''s writings on Hebrews are an important resource for understanding his life and thought. Beginning with an evaluation of the state of research on Owen''s commentary, as well as suggesting reasons for its neglect in current scholarship, Tweeddale then places Owen''s work on Hebrews within the context of his life. What follows is a consideration of the function of federal theology in Owen''s essays, and how his hermeneutic fits within the broader scope of reformed discussions on the doctrine of covenant. Tweeddale further examines Owen''s attempts to resolve the challenge posed by a Christological reading of the Old Testament to a literal interpretation of Scripture. He then explores how Owen''s essays represent a refining of the exegetical tradition of the Abrahamic passages in Hebrews, and how his exegesis distinguishes himself from the majority of reformed opinion on the Mosaic covenant. By focusing on the relationship of Christology, covenant theology, and hermeneutics in his commentary, this book argues that neither Owen''s biography nor theology can be fully understood apart from his work on Hebrews and efforts in biblical interpretation.

Jesus In The Theology Of Rowan Williams

by Brett Gray

42,92€ + 10% CARD

 Brett Gray traces the portrayal of Christ that emerges throughout Williams'' diverse writings, including in his engagements with literature and philosophy. What emerges is a vision of Jesus that grows from the roots of the Christian tradition, but is pronounced in a contemporary idiom and sensitive to modern concerns. Although attentive to the broad sweep of the Christian tradition, Williams'' Christology is also seen in this book to be a particular British artefact, shaped in dialogue with thinkers such as Donald MacKinnon and Gillian Rose. What is ultimately brought to the surface in this work is the profoundly hopeful, if frequently under-pronounced, eschatology underlying Williams'' Christology. Jesus is the "last word", changing creation''s possibilities and summoning it into an endless and vivifying journey.
