On the heels of the advance since the twentieth-century of wholly
physicalist accounts of human persons, the influence of materialist
ontology is increasingly evident in Christian theologizing. To
date, the contemporary literature has tended to focus on
anthropological issues (e.g., whether the traditional soul / body
distinction is viable), with occasional articles treating
physicalist accounts of such doctrines as the Incarnation and
Resurrection of Jesus cropping up, as well. Interestingly, the
literature to date, both for and against this influence, is
dominated by philosophers. The present volume is a collection of
philosophers and theologians who advance several novel criticisms
of this growing trend toward physicalism in Christian theology. The
present collection definitively shows that Christian physicalism
has some significant philosophical and theological problems. No
doubt all philosophical anthropologies have their challenges, but
the present volume shows that Christian physicalism is most likely
not an adequate accounting for essential theological topics within
Christian theism. Christians, then, should consider alternative
anthropologies.
Moving from biblical theology to systematic theology to practical
theology, "Work: Theological Foundations and Practical
Implications" offers a comprehensive theology of work. With
contributions from a variety of leading theologians including
Miroslav Volf and Samuel Gregg, this book brings together biblical
scholars, ethicists, economists representing a spectrum of
theological voices. It will bring a new academic depth to the
literature on the theology of work and provide a comprehensive
single-volume resource for scholars and students alike.
Contributions include: "Work and the Trinity" (Miroslav Volf) "Work
and Anthropology" (Jay Wesley Richards) "Sanctification and Work"
(Scott B. Rae) "Economics and the Common Good" (Samuel Gregg)
