Righteous Indignation: Christian Philosophical and Theological
Perspectives on Anger explores the philosophy of Christian
anger-what anger is, what it means for God to be angry, and when
anger is morally appropriate. The book explores specific biblical
questions, such as how God communicates his anger in the Old
Testament and whether anger at one's enemies in the imprecatory
psalms is praiseworthy. In addition, some chapters focus on the
practical application of anger to topics such as racial justice,
criminal law, and civil discourse, and on the ideas of historical
figures such as Thomas Aquinas and Jonathan Edwards. The purpose of
the book is to provide multiple perspectives, examining anger from
different angles, but most of all it is hoped that readers will
come away with a better understanding of God's nature and how
followers of Jesus ought to relate to those who wrong them.
With contributions from leading theologians and philosophers,
"Being Saved: Explorations in Human Salvation" brings together a
series of essays on the major topics relating to the doctrine of
salvation. The book provides readers with a critical resource that
consists of an integrative philosophical-theological method, and
will invigorate this much-needed discussion. Contributors include
Oliver Crisp (Fuller Theological Seminary) Paul Helm (Regent
College, Vancouver and Highland Theological College, Scotland)
Joanna Leidenhag (University of Edinburgh) Andrew Loke (Hong Kong
University)
In the recent history of philosophy few works have appeared which
favorably portray Idealism as a plausible philosophical view of the
world. Considerably less has been written about Idealism as a
viable framework for doing theology. While the most recent and
significant works on Idealism, composed by the late John Foster
(Case for Idealism and A World for Us: The Case for
Phenomenological Idealism), have put this theory back on the
philosophical map, no such attempt has been made to re-introduce
Idealism to contemporary Christian theology. Idealism and Christian
Theology is such a work, retrieving ideas and arguments from its
most significant modern exponents (especially George Berkeley and
Jonathan Edwards) in order to assess its value for present and
future theological construction. As a piece of constructive
philosophical-theology itself, this volume considers the
explanatory power an Idealist ontology has for contemporary
Christian theology.
