The Christian gospel compels humanity to embrace deeper ways of
being human together that will overcome false divisions and
exclusions in search of flourishing and graced communities.
Presenting both short narratives emerging out of theological
reflection on experience and analytical essays arising from
engagement in scholarly conversations Theology and the Experience
of Disability is a conscious attempt to develop theology by and
with people with disabilities instead of theology about people with
disabilities. A mixture of academic, professional, practical,
and/or lived experience is brought to the topic in search of
constructive multi-disciplinary proposals for church and society.
The result is an interdisciplinary engagement with the constructive
possibilities that emerge from a distinctly Christian understanding
of disability as lived experience.
Torrance's vision of Theosis (deification/divinisation) is explored
through his doctrine of creation and anthropology, his
characterisation of the incarnation, his accounts of reconciliation
and union with Christ, and his theology of church and sacraments.
Myk Habets' study distinguishes Torrance's Reformed vision of
theosis from other possible accounts of salvation as divinisation
as they are found, for instance, within patristic thought and
Eastern Orthodoxy. This book presents the first critique of the
theology of T.F.Torrance to focus on theosis, and examines a model
of theosis within the realm of reformed theology built upon Western
theology.
Karl Barth was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding theological
thinkers of the twentieth century. Referred to by some as the
'father' of the Church, his influence upon the doctrine of the
Trinity continues to be a commanding presence. Barth understood
that it is from Trinitarian teaching that Christian dogmatics
derives what it has to say about the relationship between God and
humanity. Most fundamental is the role of the Holy Spirit in our
knowledge of God and His being as a trinity in unity. Barth's work,
the popularity of which has seen resurgence in recent years, has
occasioned appreciation, critique and rejection. These essays
testify to this conflict, the accessibility of Barth's doctrinal
conventions and the 'inexhaustible resourcefulness' of his
theologies. 'Trinitarian Theology after Barth' draws together
scholars who engage in the doctrine of the Trinity and the related
themes. Barth's thought allows for a variety of interpretations,
and it is this that gives such vibrancy to the essays in this
volume, written by seasoned Barth scholars and voices new to the
debate. Myk Habets is Lecturer in Systematic Theology, and Director
of the R.J. Thompson Centre for Theological Studies at Carey
Baptist College and Graduate School, Auckland, New Zealand. His
publications include 'Theosis in the Theology of Thomas Torrance'
(2009) and 'The Anointed Son' (2010). Phillip Tolliday teaches
Anglican Studies and Systematic Theology at St Barnabas' College,
School of Theology. He has been co-editor of 'Dialogue
Australasia', and is currently the series co-editor for volumes on
the interface between philosophy and theology. 'This exciting new
volume is a distinctive and important addition to Barth studies.
The essays are noteworthy for their interpretative rigor and
constructive ambition; they supply a vivid sense of what it means
to think with, after, and beyond Barth in the present day. Highly
recommended'. Paul Dafydd Jones, Assistant Professor of Western
Religious Thought, University of Virginia

(Stavan Narendra John) Thomas Forsyth Torrance (1913-2007) was one
of the most important theologians of the twentieth century, yet his
work remains relatively neglected by evangelicals. A diverse
collection of contributors engage Torrance's pioneering and
provocative thought, deriving insights from theological loci such
as Scripture, Christology, and atonement, as well as from broader
topics like domestic violence and science. These stimulating essays
reveal how Torrance can help evangelical theologians articulate
richer and deeper theology.

Third Article Theology (TAT) is the name given to a new movement in
constructive theology utilizing a distinctly pneumatological
approach to dogmatics. Trinitarian in its foundation,
pneumatological in its impetus, and comprehensive in its scope, TAT
specifies both a method and a theology. Thinking through the
theological loci of the tradition in relation to the Holy Spirit
opens up new vistas and a deeper vision of the task of theology,
revealing ways of thinking hitherto eclipsed by the tradition.
Drawing upon the trinitarianism of the Great Tradition, theologians
from across the theological spectrumbring their voices to bear upon
central and defining theological issues of today in order to
present a new form of systematic theology-a pneumatological
dogmatics-capable of representing the faith in a contemporary mode.
For students, scholars, and clergy, the volume unfolds the classic
articles of systematic theology in this new register. Each
doctrinal article is written by a leading theologian in the field,
with essays from Amos Yong, Eugene Rogers, Veli-Matti Karkkainen,
Joel Green, Marc Cortez, Frank Macchia, Myk Habets, and others.

The volume presents a range of theological standpoints regarding
the filioque. With some contributors arguing for its retention and
others for its removal, still others contest that its presence or
otherwise in the Creed is not what is of central concern, but
rather that how it should be understood is of ultimate importance.
What contributors share is a commitment to interrogating and
developing the central theological issues at stake in a
consideration of the filioque, thus advancing ecumenical theology
and inter-communal dialogue without diluting the discussion.
Contributors span the Christian traditions: Roman Catholic,
Protestant, Eastern Orthodox, and Pentecostal. Each of these
traditions has its own set of theological assumptions, methods, and
politics, many of which are on display in the essays which follow.
Nonetheless it is only when we bring the wealth of learning and
commitments from our own theological traditions to ecumenical
dialogue that true progress can be made. It is in this spirit that
the present essays have been conceived and are now presented in
this form.
The story of evangelicalism in New Zealand is almost as old as the
history of European contact. The essays in this volume exhibit much
of the breadth and depth of this evangelical witness, divided as it
is into two sections: historical and theological. As David
Bebbington says of the historical essays in this volume, "what is
most striking about the members of the evangelical bodies depicted
in this volume is their variety. These people were not uniformly
anything, let alone joyless or humourless. The evangelicals of New
Zealand were by no means monochrome, and least of all black." Derek
Tidball says of the theological essays in this volume, that they
exhibit four hallmarks: they are evangelical, contextual, creative,
and courageous, before concluding: "These papers show skilled
evangelical theological acrobats in action, not for the
entertainment of us all but for the instruction of us all."
Synopsis: In this exciting volume, new and emerging voices join
senior Reformed scholars in presenting a coherent and impassioned
articulation of Calvinism for today's world. Evangelical Calvinism
represents a mood within current Reformed theology. The various
contributors are in different ways articulating that mood, of which
their very diversity is a significant element. In attempting to
outline features of an Evangelical Calvinism, a number of the
contributors compare and contrast this approach with that of
Federal Calvinism currently dominant in North American Reformed
theology, challenging the assumption that Federal Calvinism is the
only possible expression of orthodox Reformed theology. This book
does not, however, represent the arrival of a "new Calvinism" or
even a "neo-Calvinism," if by those terms are meant a novel reading
of the Reformed faith. An Evangelical Calvinism highlights a
Calvinistic tradition that has developed particularly within
Scotland, but is not unique to the Scots. The editors have picked
up the baton passed on by John Calvin, Karl Barth, Thomas Torrance,
and others, in order to offer the family of Reformed theologies a
reinvigorated theological and spiritual ethos. This volume promises
to set the agenda for Reformed-Calvinist discussion for some time
to come. Endorsements: "This valuable collection illustrates the
diversity of the Reformed tradition . . . By concentrating on its
evangelical center, particularly with respect to the love of God
enacted in the person and work of Christ, these essays offer
internal criticism of some aspects of the tradition, while also
revitalizing some of its core themes. The volume is set to
stimulate a vigorous discussion of the meaning of evangelical
Calvinism." --David Fergusson, coeditor of The Cambridge Dictionary
of Christian Theology " This is] a challenging treasure trove of
material mined from Calvin and examining, in the light of moderns
such as Torrance and Barth, his essential legacy historically,
theologically, and pastorally. This is a book to be read and
re-read for the vital contribution it offers to deepening and
reinvigorating evangelical Calvinism today." --Robert T. Walker,
coauthor of Atonement: The Person and Work of Christ Author
