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

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

Argues that Pannenberg's doctrine of reconciliation at once marks out God's action in the world as the true Infinite and issues an invitation to consider how such a God extends himself in reconciling love to his creatures so that their finite creatureliness is at every turn affirmed and found to be in the end 'good'.

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

Schillebeeckx's theology is a reflection on the nature of God who is both creator and redeemer: his theology is a 'treatise' on the God who is God for humanity. This book interprets Schillebeeckx's theological anthropology by analysing his theology of revelation and grace, and by examining the Christological structure of his theology.

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.

Explores the relationship between Christology and theological anthropology through the lens provided by the theology of Karl Barth and the mind/body discussion in contemporary philosophy of mind. This book considers the implications that Christological anthropology has for analyzing and assessing ways of explaining the mind/body relationship.
