Should all Christians, especially evangelicals, hold on to the
doctrine of the eternal generation of the Son? What is lost if we
don't? Theologian Kevin Giles defends the historically orthodox and
ecumenical doctrine of the eternal generation of the Son of God. He
argues on biblical, historical and theological bases that, given
its fundamental meaning, this formulation is indispensable,
irreplaceable and faithful to Christian revelation. The book will
be especially helpful in the current discussion of this doctrine.
It will also be of interest to students, pastors and laypersons who
want to delve into the Christian understanding of the identity of
the Son of God and serious study of trinitarian theology.
Description: Questions related to the issue of gender remain
insufficiently acknowledged and explored in contemporary
theological literature. These issues form the basis of significant
unresolved tensions among evangelicals, as evidenced in debates
over the nature of the Trinity, Bible translation, church practice,
choice of language, mission leadership, decision-making in homes,
and parenting, to name but a few examples. The essays in this
volume are not meant to provide a monolithic evangelical theology
of gender, but rather to provide evangelical perspectives
surrounding the topic of gender. To further this aim, each of the
main essays is followed by a formal response with an attempt at a
concise and lucid perspective on the essay and pointers to further
areas for investigation. Some contributors are complementarian
while others are egalitarian, although who is what is left to the
discerning reader. Regardless of one's position on the issue, all
will benefit from the contributors' commitment to the further
exploration of gender issues from the perspective of a broadly
conceive evangelicalism. Endorsements: "The book engenders a deep
yearning to read further such dialogical volumes from Trinitarian
scholars, Biblical scholars, and others. It overall avoids
caricatures of much polemical confrontation seeking true dialogue
between human persons both male and female. The prologue
establishes a theological foundation for the discussion to continue
between persons in relationship with each other as imaging
something of who the Creator is. I hope the dialogue will continue
in further volumes particularly in the context of New Zealand and
Australia." --Mary Fisher Pastor, Sydney Chinese Alliance Church
