This interdisciplinary study is the result of an international and
ecumenical meeting of nineteen scholars held in New York at Easter
1998: the Trinity Summit. Biblical experts examine the scriptural
roots of trinitarian doctrine, patristic scholars correct those who
continue to misinterpret the trinitarian teaching of the
Cappadocians and Augustine, and five scholars examine systematic
and foundational issues like the viability of social models for the
Trinity. The volume ends with a study of the Trinity in art and the
challenge of preaching the Trinity today. Each of the papers
presented here have been circulated to all of the contributors not
only improving the chapters, but also establishing firmer links
between the four sections of the book. The international reputation
of the participants reflects and guarantees the high quality of
this joint work.
This interdisciplinary study follows an international and
ecumenical meeting of twenty-one scholars held in New York at
Easter 2003: the Redemption Summit. After an opening chapter, which
explores seven central questions for writers on redemption, five
chapters are dedicated to the scriptural roots of the doctrine. A
section on the patristic and medieval periods then examines the
interpretation of redemption through the centuries. The volume
moves on to foundational and systematic issues: the problem of
horrendous evil, karma and grace, and differing views on
justification. Studies on the redemption in literature, art, music,
and preaching form the final part. There is a fruitful dialogue
between experts in a wide range of areas and the international
reputation of the participants reflects and guarantees the high
quality of this joint work. The result is a well researched,
skilfully argued, and, at times, provocative volume on the central
Christian belief: the redemption of human beings through Jesus
Christ.
This interdisciplinary study follows an international and
ecumenical meeting of twenty-four scholars held in New York at
Easter 2000: the Incarnation Summit. After an opening chapter,
which summarizes and evaluates twelve major questions concerning
the Incarnation, five chapters are dedicated to the biblical roots
of this central Christian doctrine. A patristic and medieval
section corrects misinterpretations and retrieves for today the
significance of the Council of Chalcedon (AD 451) and its
aftermath, as well as clarifying Aquinas' enduring metaphysical
interpretation of the Incarnation. The volume then moves to
theological and philosophical debates: three scholars take up such
systematic issues as belief in the Incarnation, the self-emptying
that it involves, and its compatibility with divine timelessness.
The remaining four essays consider the place of the doctrine of the
Incarnation in literature, ethics, art, and preaching. There is a
fruitful dialogue between experts in a wide range of areas and the
international reputation of the participants reflects and
guarantees the high quality of this joint work. The result is a
well researched, skilfully argued, and, at times, provocative
volume on the central Christian belief: the Incarnation of the Son
of God.
