This handbook provides theological and philosophical resources that
demonstrate analytic theology's unique contribution to the task of
theology. Analytic theology is a recent movement at the nexus of
theology, biblical studies, and philosophy that marshals resources
from the analytic philosophical tradition for constructive
theological work. Paying attention to the Christian tradition, the
development of doctrine, and solid biblical studies, analytic
theology prizes clarity, brevity, and logical rigour in its
exposition of Christian teaching. Each contribution in this volume
offers an overview of specific doctrinal and dogmatic issues within
the Christian tradition and provides a constructive conceptual
model for making sense of the doctrine. Additionally, an extensive
bibliography serves as a valuable resource for researchers wishing
to address issues in theology from an analytic perspective.

This volume offers an array of newly commissioned essays,
addressing the topic of love in the Christian tradition. Drawn from
a range of expert theologians and philosophers in contemporary
analytic and non-analytic theology, these essays join current
debates within the theology of love, and aim to propose new avenues
for future research. Including the last essay written by Marilyn
McCord Adams, Love, Divine and Human deals with a rich variety of
issues related to divine and human love. The broad scope of the
book includes divine transcendence and its methodological bearing
on the doctrine of divine love, the nature and scope of divine
love, the interrelation between God's love and wrath, the
plausibility of an impassable God of love, and the application of
various conceptions of divine love to the problem of divine
hiddenness, human ethics, and human free will, among other topics.

Holiness might seem like a simple concept. Yet, when one compares
the array of objects that are called “holy” in the Hebrew
Scriptures and Christian New Testament, there may seem to be no
points of similarity between God, humans, time, land, temple
accoutrements, etc. However, in this book, James M. Arcadi
hypothesizes a unitary account of the definition of holiness. What
unites holy objects, Arcadi argues, is divine ownership. Holy
objects belong to God. In application to God, this motif has
profound implications for how one conceives of God and the
God-world relation. In application to humans, this book argues that
the ownership theme unfurls new insights on a range of doctrinal
loci including the doctrines of the imago Dei, justification,
atonement, sanctification, and liturgical theology. Bringing
biblical studies in conversation with contemporary analytic
philosophy, this book offers an analytic systematic theology of
holiness.
