Books in the Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies series

Explores the epiclesis or invocation of the Holy Spirit in the Eucharistic Prayer, using the Anglican tradition as an historical model of a communion of churches in conscious theological and liturgical dialogue with Christian antiquity.

Investigates the intersection of theology and social theory in the work of Jurgen Moltmann. This book examines the way in which his concept of the 'Exodus Church' can illuminate the importance of the idea of civil society for a Christian public theology.

Explores the connection between the source event of the Church's life and the transformative encounter with Christ in the Eucharist, the effects of which are seen in social/ethical/political action and the Church's mission.

Using philosophical debates about knowledge and truth, the author seeks to understand the significance of Christ. Building on the work of Hegel, he argues that Christ has made possible the developments in human consciousness that restore humanity's relationship to the surrounding world.

To claim to believe in God without accepting that God exists independently of human minds would mean reducing God to merely a human construct, thus not real enough for being the object of religious worship. This book sets out to challenge this common view on existence and religious belief.

Bringing together the work of two important modern theologians, this book explores both the possibilities of theology generated from Christian Scripture and the central importance of the doctrines of Christ and the Trinity in understanding what it means to declare someone or something unique.

This book focuses on recognition and its relation to religion and theology, in both systematic and historical dimensions. Exploring early Christian and Medieval sources on recognition and religion, it also offers contemporary applications of this underexplored combination.
