Ethics is approached as a study of a way of life that conforms to
the will of God. Jones examines principles and casuistry in such
matters as the sanctity of life, sexuality, economic justice, and
truthfulness.
Articulates a learning process to help Christians improve
approaches to understanding other religious traditions.
Understanding Other Religious Worlds is built on the difference
between learning facts about other religions and understanding them
and their followers in a wholistic manner. Berling argues that
incorporating the religious "other" in one's own Christian identity
is integral to living an authentic Christian life.
This sourcebook of primary texts illustrates the history of
Christianity from Nicaea to St. Augustine and St. Patrick. It
covers all major persons and topics in the "golden age" of Greek
and Latin patristics. This standard collection, still unsurpassed,
is now available to a wider North American audience.
Introducing Feminist Theology responds to the questions "What is
feminist theology?" and "Why is it important?" by considering the
perspectives of women from around the globe who have very diverse
life experience and relationships to God, Church and creation.
Clifford introduces the major forms of feminist theology: "radical,
" "reformist, " and "reconstructionist, " and highlights some of
their specific characteristics.
Jordan Senner captures the systematic shape, logic, and development
of his thought from the vantage point of the God-creature relation.
Webster's development is depicted in terms of three phases -
Christocentric, Trinitarian, and Theocentric - culminating in a
conceptual analysis of three key aspects of his mature theology:
his doctrine of divine perfection, theory of mixed relations, and
concept of dual causality. Senner illustrates this heuristic
framework for interpreting Webster's theology through an
exploration of different aspects of his account of the God-creature
relation: Christology (hypostatic relation), ecclesiology
(redemptive relation), bibliology (communicative relation), and
theological theology (rational relation). This volume not only
provides a dynamic introduction to Webster's theology as a whole,
but it also includes fascinating forays into the complexities of
Webster's engagement with Barth and Aquinas, raising interesting
questions for constructive theological dialogue that is neither
straightforwardly Protestant nor Catholic.
