The Spirit of Polyphony
Dietrich
Bonhoeffer's Musical
Pneumatology
Joanna Tarassenko, St Clement’s Church, UK
This book re-examines how Bonhoeffer employs musical patterns of thought and language to a theological end. It outlines how the significance of Bonhoeffer’s musico-theology has not been sufficiently recognised, and sets the stage for a rigorous reexamination It becomes clear that through the lens of his musical metaphor of polyphony, Bonhoeffer demonstrates how his account of Christian formation contains a latent pneumatology Here, Tarassenko demonstrates that incorporation of this pneumatology is key in deepening one’s understanding of Bonhoeffer

Resisting Theologies and the Everyday
Addressing Inequalities in Constructive, Practical, and Liberative Approaches
Edited by Wren Radford, University of Manchester, UK
This powerful volume provides dynamic ways of constructing theologies of resistance and liberation by engaging with the everyday practices of marginalised communities In doing so, this collection of theological experts reject abstracted concepts of bodes and taxonomies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability Readers will find this a dynamic book with a variety of approaches that provide dynamic ways of constructing theologies of resistance and liberation From Black theology to disabled activists on social media to queer clergy in South Africa, this volume holds together differences in contributors’ approaches, modelling the view that there is not just one form of resistance, nor a single approach to constructing theology

Confidence in Life
A Barthian Account of Procreation
Matthew Lee Anderson, Baylor University, USA Confidence in Life offers a theologicallyrobust evaluation of the good of procreation, which emerges out of both careful interactions with contemporary analytic philosophy and a reconstructed reading of Karl Barth’s doctrine of (pro)creation Though primarily staged as an intervention in Protestant moral theology, Confidence in Life’s rehabilitation of the Virgin Mary’s role in Barth’s thought has promise for an ecumenical retrieval of the good of procreating within the economy of redemption

The Consciousness of the Historical Jesus
Historiography, Theology, and Metaphysics
Austin Stevenson
In this book, Austin Stevenson argues that it is not the ‘divinity’ of Jesus that causes problems for historians, but his humanity To insist that Jesus was fully human, as both theologians and historians do, still leaves us with the question of what it means to be human It turns out that theologians and historians often have different answers to this question on both a philosophical and a theological register
This book offers a new path toward the reconciliation of these disciplines by focusing on human knowledge and subjectivity, which are central issues in both historical method and Christology

Theandric and Triune
John
Owen
and Christological Agency
Ty Kieser
This book draws from the theology of John Owen and advancements in philosophy of action in order to offer an account of divine and human agency in christological action from within the Reformed tradition It provides clarity to the christological and trinitarian uses of the language of “agent/ agency” in Christ and attends to the theological (esp trinitarian) entailments therein. While at first glance there may appear to be internal inconsistencies with accounts that subscribe to classically Reformed Christological agency, Ty Kieser argues that Owen helps us recover an understanding of christological agency that is internally coherent and theologically prudent

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 & Seminary, Canada and Master's 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

Faith as Life in the Spirit
A Pneumatology of Belief, Affection, and Works
Aaron Gabriel Ross, Museum of the Bible, USA
In Faith as Life in the Spirit, it is shown how faith does not need to be understood as what one believes, does, or feels when faith is understood as being in Christ by being in the Spirit Faith is often defined as what people must do, whether that is to believe in a list of doctrines, to do “good” works, or to love properly, in order for God to respond with forgiveness and salvation However, this work takes a new approach with a pneumatological trajectory in constructing a theology of faith understood as life in the Spirit

"Neither the Spirit without the Flesh"
John Calvin's Doctrine of the Beatific Vision
Steven W. Tyra, Emory University School of Law, USA
This book shows that John Calvin engaged in substantial reflection and debate on the vision of God. The existing scholarship has both overstated the medieval consensus and underestimated the diversity of the early Reformation Tyra argues that Bellarmine was correct: Calvin was indeed a “Greek” as that term was understood in the sixteenth century and bridges a significant gap in the literature on the beatific vision. To see the Calvinist God face-to-face, one first had to be clothed in flesh and blood, and the consequences of this insight for recent reflection on the beatific vision will be drawn out in the final chapter.

Imag(in)ing Jesus in the Universal or Particular
Cross-Cultural Bible Film Reception of The Lumo Project: The Gospel of Mark and Son of Man
Victoria Olaide Omotoso, University of Exeter and University of Southampton, UK
A critical exploration of cross-cultural Bible film reception presented through an analysis of the responses of UK and South African audiences to The Lumo Project: The Gospel of Mark (2014) and Son of Man (2006). Victoria Olaide Omotoso’s study seeks to fill the gap in existing research into the Bible and film by placing more emphasis on audience reception and highlighting the non-Western experience of biblical films. Through an examination of historic and cinematic debates, audience responses and filmmaker responses, Omotoso explores the ethnicity of Jesus, theological contexts and implications, and the presentation of Jesus in an androcentric world

Jesus and YHWH-Texts in the Synoptic Gospels
Scott Brazil
Scott Brazil examines the Synoptic Gospels and the interplay between Christology and the YHWHtext phenomenon He argues against the theory that the Synoptics evidence a low Christology in the primitive church, while John’s Gospel displays a high Christology developed in the decades to follow; instead stressing that the YHWH-text phenomenon in the Synoptics contradicts that theory by revealing an early and united Christian understanding of Jesus as YHWH

The Message of Acts in Codex Bezae
A Comparison with the Alexandrian Tradition
Jenny Read-Heimerdinger, University of Wales
Trinity Saint David, UK & Josep Rius-Camps
This book is a comparison of the message of Acts transmitted by Codex Bezae with that of the more familiar Alexandrian text, represented by Codex Vaticanus For each section of Acts, there is a side by side translation of the Bezan and Alexandrian manuscripts, followed by a critical apparatus and, finally, a commentary that explores the differences in the message of the two texts It is concluded that the Bezan text, with its interest in internal Jewish affairs and its focus on the struggles of the early disciples to free themselves from their traditional Jewish expectations and to achieve, despite their mistakes, a more accurate understanding of their master's teaching, is the earlier of the two texts

Hermeneutics, Linguistics, and the Bible
The Importance of Context
Stanley E. Porter, McMaster Divinity College, Canada
The volume presents Stanley E Porter's considered thoughts and reflections on key questions of meaning and context, addressing the problems of biblical interpretation and how a close collaboration between hermeneutics and linguistics can help to solve them . Porter focuses on context for understanding the meanings of biblical texts, suggesting that linguists can learn more from the philosophical questions around meaning that hermeneuts apply in their study of biblical texts, and that there is more fruitful work to be done in the field of hermeneutics using insights from linguistics

The Bible and Comics Women, Power and Representation in Graphic Narratives
Zanne Domoney-Lyttle, Individual scholar, UK
This interdisciplinary volume traces the diverse ways in which creators of biblical comics present women, constructs of power and ideas of motherhood Using examples from both secular and religious comic Bibles, and comic Bibles aimed at children and older audiences, Zanne Domoney-Lyttle fully considers contemporary remediations of biblical narratives and how the graphic novel medium affects the reception of the text in several ways She investigates how the production, format and function of comic Bibles encourage the depiction of biblical characters from a contemporary perspective, while at the same time showing some fidelity to the text.
