Traditionally, evangelical theology has been committed to a
position of classical theism, emphasizing God's immutability and
omniscience. Of late, traditional affirmations have been challenged
by theologians who affirm a more christological focus--often
drawing from Karl Barth's theology--and by those who affirm a
theology of "open theism."
The essays gathered in this collection give evidence of the
depth and creativity of contemporary evangelical theology as well
as the variety of positions held by those within the movement.
"Engaging the Doctrine of God" initially focuses on New Testament
studies and the earliest development of a Christian doctrine of
God, then proceeds to consider two figures who have significantly
influenced evangelical theology: John Calvin and Jonathan Edwards.
The theological section examines the cross, the suffering and
sovereignty of God, and the contemporary debate. The book concludes
with a chapter on theology and pastoral care.
Both scholars and clergy will find that these essays represent
the range of thought within the evangelical tradition and provide
readers with a stimulating guide to the contemporary debate.
