In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology

In the midst of a troubled world, Christians believe in a good God
who, as the Creator, has never lost interest in his broken
creation. The key evidence for, and the chief symbol of, this
divine commitment is the cross of Christ. This God, revealed
Scripture, has a project; and central to the divine strategy is
Christ, his coming and his cross. The troubles and calamities will
end. The cross aEURO" which has been scandalous from the start
aEURO" touches the individual, the church and the wider creation.
The cross makes peace, and brings shalom. The canon of Scripture
presents a 'divine comedy', where the story of Jesus, his cross and
empty tomb are set in the framework of God's grand plan to restore
the created order. Graham Cole's excellent study takes the broad
approach, but not in a way that masks 'the cruciality of the
cross'. He examines who God is and what humanity has become, then
focuses on the divine provision for humanity in its plight. He
explores how the 'peace dividend' of the cross works itself out at
the personal, corporate and cosmic levels, and asks how we are to
live if these things are really so. Finally, he discusses God's
grand purpose, reviews the journey, and addresses the question of
how God the peacemaker brings shalom through atonement in both the
broad and narrow senses of the term. An appendix deals with a range
of controversial aspects of the cross.
Many books have been written on the person and work of the Holy
Spirit, and his ministry continues to be a vital and fascinating
area for further exploration. Graham Cole's study, based on his
lectures at the Tenth Oak Hill Annual School of Theology, focuses
on important questions of practical relevance. Each one confronts
us with challenges about our relationship with the Spirit, whether
as Christian believers or unbelievers. Professor Cole demonstrates
the value of having a clearly defined and articulated theological
method, that takes the biblical text seriously, learns from others
in the process of interpretation, and works hard at application to
the contemporary context.
In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology,

In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology
series, Graham A. Cole examines the concept of divine glory as well
as God's plan for redeeming individual believers, the church, and
the universe.
The study of themes plays a major part in biblical theology, and
great events and roles that are pivotal in Christology can be
successfully placed in a 'promise-fulfilment' framework. However,
is incarnation an anomaly? Was incarnation part of the hope of
Israel? Graham Cole's stimulating study addresses such questions.
He begins by exploring the purpose of creation in terms of God
fashioning a palace-temple for dwelling with the creature made in
the divine image, then follows God's acts in Israel's history to
redeem a people of his own among whom he can dwell. In particular,
he examines theophanic language: God is presented as a person who
speaks, acts and feels as though embodied. He considers Israel's
messianic hope, and then the testimony of the New Testament: 'The
Word became flesh and dwelt among us' (John 1:14), in the person of
Jesus Christ. Cole also addresses the question raised by Anselm -
'Why did God become man?' - and finds abundant New Testament
answers. He concludes with a consideration of the theological and
existential significance of the incarnation. Readers will gain a
deeper appreciation of the astonishing providence of God that
subtly prepared the way for the mystery of the incarnation, and of
the depth of love that God showed in sending the beloved Son who
became human.
This book explores the doctrine of angels and demons, answering key
questions about their nature and the implications for Christians'
beliefs and behavior.
Five hundred years ago, the Reformers were defending doctrines such as justification by faith alone, the authority of Scripture, and God's grace in salvation--some to the point of death. Many of these same essential doctrines are still being challenged today, and there has never been a more crucial time to hold fast to the enduring truth of Scripture.
In Reformation Theology, Matthew Barrett has brought together a team of expert theologians and historians writing on key doctrines taught and defended by the Reformers centuries ago. With contributions from Michael Horton, Gerald Bray, Michael Reeves, Carl Trueman, Robert Kolb, and many others, this volume stands as a manifesto for the church, exhorting Christians to learn from our spiritual forebears and hold fast to sound doctrine rooted in the Bible and passed on from generation to generation.
