Christ came to save us from sin and death. But what did he save us
for? One beautiful and compelling answer to this question is that
God saved us for union with him so that we might become "partakers
of the divine nature" (1 Pet 2:4), what the Christian tradition has
called "deification." This term refers to a particular vision of
salvation which claims that God wants to share his own divine life
with us, uniting us to himself and transforming us into his
likeness. While often thought to be either a heretical notion or
the provenance of Eastern Orthodoxy, this book shows that
deification is an integral part of Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and many
Protestant denominations. Drawing on the resources of their own
Christian heritages, eleven scholars share the riches of their
respective traditions on the doctrine of deification. In this book
, scholars and pastor-scholars from diverse Christian expressions
write for both a scholarly and lay audience about what God created
us to be: adopted children of God who are called, even now, to "be
filled with all the fullness of God" (Eph. 3:19).
Sport is a major preoccupation of the modern world. It consumes the
time and energies of millions of people around the globe. In fact,
for many participants, it operates much like a functional
equivalent of religion, giving them a way to interpret and
understand the world. Sports stadiums are the cathedrals of our
time. Sports stars are the saints or demi-gods through whom we
access the transcendent. Members of the sports media serve as
religious scribes, and sports fans are the worshiping faithful.
What is true of sport is also true, more generally, of play.
Nevertheless, and quite remarkably, Christian theologians and
religious historians have been surprisingly slow to recognize the
spiritual and cultural significance of sport and play, or to engage
in the study of these concepts. This book attempts to redress that
neglect by integrating sport and play with Christian faith and
practice. In Sports and Play in Christian Theology, ten Christian
scholars and practitioners explore sport and play from theological,
biblical, historical, and pastoral perspectives. This rich
collection of wide-ranging reflections and focused case studies
will help readers locate sport and play within Christian faith and
practice.
The T&T Clark Handbook of Colin Gunton is a theological
companion to the study of Gunton's theology, and a resource for
thinking about Gunton's importance in modern theology. Each of the
essays brings Gunton's depth to a broad range of contemporary
theological concerns. The volume unveils cutting-edge Gunton
scholarship for a new generation and at the same time enables
readers to see the timely significance of Gunton today. Each of the
essays not only introduces readers to key themes in the Gunton
corpus, but also provides readers with fresh interpretations that
are fully conversant with the contemporary theological problems
facing the church. Designed as both a guide for students and a
reference point for scholars, the companion seeks both to outline
the frameworks of key Gunton debates while at all times pushing
forward fresh interpretative strategies concerning his thought.
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.
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.

Forgiveness is at the heart of the Christian Gospel. It goes hand
in hand with love, mercy, and grace, the fundamental theological
virtues. However, forgiveness is easier to define than it is to
embody. This unique collection of essays brings together
theologians, ethicists, and ministry practitioners into a
constructive dialog which explores the complex and crucial concept
of forgiveness: what it is, where it is to be found, and how it
might be practiced. These essays reflect the perspectives of those
from various traditions who nonetheless take the Christian
Scriptures seriously, believe that forgiveness is central to living
out the Gospel, and are creative in the ways in which forgiveness
can be practiced. Forgiveness is an art and not simply a science;
as such it requires trust, skill, and hope alongside love, mercy,
and grace if it is to be embodied. This volume offers a unique
window into the art of forgiveness and the faithful and innovative
ways in which it is to be understood, embodied, and cultivated.
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.

This handbook explores Thomas F. Torrance's importance in modern
theology, with each contribution bringing Torrance's deep and
nuanced insights to a broad range of contemporary theological
concerns. The contributors to this volume present cutting-edge
Torrance scholarship for a new generation, which will enable
readers to see the timely significance of Torrance for today.
Comprising both contexts and dogmatics, these essays not only
introduce key themes in Torrance's extensive published writings -
including his work on the Trinity, ecumenism, incarnation,
atonement, and eschatology - but also provide fresh interpretations
fully conversant with theological problems facing the church in the
world today. Designed as both a guide for students and a reference
point for scholars, this handbook thoroughly explores the
frameworks of key debates related to Torrance's theology, while
also suggesting fresh interpretative strategies concerning his
thought.
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
