Theology

Trinity, Christology, and Liberation

Lisa D. Powell, St. Ambrose University, USA Lisa D. Powell strengthens and amplifies the claim that God is disabled, made by Nancy Eiesland in her ground breaking book The Disabled God (1994). She revisits Eiesland’s claim about Christ’s resurrected body and her conclusions about eschatological embodiment, arguing that it is the able-body that does not persist eschatologically, but all humanity journeys toward ever more transparency, vulnerability and interdependency as the Body of Christ.

The Karamazov Case

Dostoevsky's Argument for His Vision

Terrence W. Tilley This is a new interpretation of Dostoevsky’s novel that scrutinizes it as a performative event (the “polyphony” of the novel) revealing its religious, philosophical, and social meanings through the interplay of mentalités or world-views that constitute an aesthetic whole. This way of discerning the novel’s social vision of sobornost’ (a unity between harmony and freedom), its vision of hope, and its more subtle sacramental presuppositions, raises Tilley’s interpretation beyond the standard “theology and literature” treatments of the novel and interpretations that treat the novel as providing solutions to philosophical problems.

Hans G. Ulrich, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany, Edited by Brian Brock, University of Aberdeen, UK The priority of God’s working and speaking orients the approach to Christian ethics in the work of Hans G. Ulrich, whose work is presented here for the first time in English. Ulrich’s ethics affirm the lively presence of the living work of God in orienting the daily life of Christians. This presence enables members of the Church to live as creatures trusting in God’s promises, bearing witness in political and economic spheres, and trusting in life as a gift in response to bioethical issues.

Iris Murdoch and the Others

A Writer in Dialogue with Theology

Fiddes, University of Oxford, UK An extensive and expert exploration of the theological dimension of Iris Murdoch’s novels and philosophical writings, written in engaging dialogue with a range of contemporary theologians and theorists. The book demonstrates that characteristic themes in Murdoch’s novels and philosophy, such as the love of the Good and the death of the ego, all take on a greater meaning when placed in the context of her life-long conversation with theology.

The Church in a World of Religions

Working Papers in Theology

Tom Greggs, University of Aberdeen, UK Edited by J. Thomas Hewitt, University of Aberdeen, UK Tom Greggs explores the nature of the Church in a world of many religions, focusing on ecclesiology and theologies of religion. The book addresses the Church as it is brought into being through glorifying God, as well as in a pluralist context as it engages in inter-faith dialogue. In this way, Gregg discerns what it means to be the Church in a pluralist, multi-faith world.

The Christocentric Reorientation of Karl Barth’s Speculative Theology, 1936-1942

Shao Kai Tseng, Zhejiang University, China Challenging Bruce McCormack’s paradigm of postKantian Barth scholarship, this book builds on the interpretative model that Sigurd Baark developed in 2018. This model interprets Barth’s innovative adoption of an Anselmian mode of theological speculation, against the intellectual-historical background of the idealist tradition of speculative metaphysics that culminated in Hegel.

A Brief Systematic Theology of the Symbol

Joshua Mobley, Baylor University, USA An exploration in Trinitarian theology from the perspective of a theology of the symbol. In dialogue primarily with Henri de Lubac, but also with Karl Rahner, Aquinas and Augustine, the volume argues that the triad, symbolized-symbolsymbolism, is an apt analogy for the Trinity, and a fruitful structuring principle for theology.

Balthasar and Prayer

Travis LaCouter, College of the Holy Cross, USA. Travis LaCouter renders an original and constructive Catholic theology of prayer drawing on the work of Hans Urs von Balthasar. This study is distinctive for establishing a method of proceeding through Balthasar’s sprawling oeuvre (and the similarly vast secondary literature) by arguing for three “categories” of texts in Balthasar’s writings and, separately, three “waves” of Balthasar readers. LaCouter then explores the trinitarian, Christological, ecclesial, anthropological, and eschatological dimensions of prayer in Balthasar’s theology.

Karl Barth and Pentecostal Theology

A Convergence of the Word and the Spirit

Edited by Frank D. Macchia, Vanguard University of Southern California, USA, Terry L. Cross, Lee University, USA & Andrew K. Gabriel, Horizon College and Seminary, Canada The essays in this volume evaluate and build on Barth’s theology from the perspective of Pentecostal theology and, thereby, contribute to constructive Pentecostal systematic theology by using Barth as a valuable dialogue partner. At present, a theological conversation of Pentecostals with Barth does not exist and this volume fills this void. It will aid those who seek a convergence of the Word and the Spirit in theology.

The Worldview of the Word of Faith Movement: Eden Redeemed

Mikael Stenhammar, Academy for Leadership and Theology, Sweden Approaches the Word of Faith as a worldview, and analyses the movement through N. T. Wright’s model for worldview-analysis in order to provide necessary nuance and complexity to scholarly interpretations. The analysis shows that there is a narrative core to Word of Faith beliefs in the form of a unique theological story with focus set on the present restoration of Eden’s authority and blessings.

The Sacramental Vision of Edward Bouverie Pusey

Tobias A. Karlowicz, Diocese of Quincy, USA Arguing that Pusey's work anticipated contemporary conversations about the nature of theology, Karlowicz locates the heart of Pusey’s theological project in a theological perception which looks through the physicality and concreteness of language, to discern Christ at the centre of both Scripture and the physical creation. This ‘sacramental vision,’ which grew from Pusey’s critique of Christianity’s decay and his formative engagement with patristic hermeneutics and ontology, forms his teaching on the sacraments as vehicles for a Christian life of eucharistic self-oblation in union with Christ, and demonstrates the relevance of his thought to contemporary theology.
