Theological, Historical & Ethical StudiesChristian Ethics and the ChurchEcclesial Foundations for Moral Thought and PracticePhilip TurnerChristian Ethics and the Church introduces Christian ethics from a theologicalperspective, spelling out the implications of moral theology for the common life ofthe church. Philip Turner, a leading expert in the field, explores the intersection ofmoral theology and ecclesiology, arguing that the focus of Christian ethics should notbe personal holiness or social reform but how Christians are to live with one another.A theology of moral thought and practice must take its cues from the notion thathuman beings, upon salvation, are redeemed and called into a life oriented around thecommunity of the church. Christian Ethics and the Church distills a senior scholar’slife work and will be valued by professors and students of Christian ethics, theology,and ecclesiology.ContentsIntroductionPart 1: The Focus of Christian Ethics: Three Accounts1.

Theological, Historical & Ethical StudiesWhy Christian Faith Still Makes SenseA Response to Contemporary ChallengesC. Stephen EvansAcadia Studies in Bible and TheologyCraig A. Evans and Lee Martin McDonald, series editors“Lucid and accessible, this would be a great book to give to students and laypeoplewho wish to understand how reason supports Christian faith in the light of modernchallenges.”—George M. Marsden, University of Notre Dame“Written by a seasoned Christian philosopher, this book is a marvelous overview of thereasonableness of biblical faith in a skeptical age. Evans’s work is fresh and engaging, andthe case for Christianity is further illuminated by his inclusion of Kierkegaard’s reflectionson reason, paradox, and belief. A delight to read!”—Paul Copan, Palm Beach AtlanticUniversity“Decades of first-rate philosophical scholarship and deep Christian reflection on thefaith are here pressed with astonishing delicacy into an elixir of apologetics. ProfessorEvans brilliantly summarizes a wide range of arguments on behalf of the rationalityof the Christian religion so that beginners are well introduced to the discourse. But inthe spirit of his mentor Kierkegaard he also offers a trio of arguments from miracles,‘paradoxicality,’ and existential power that sings a much fresher and more vital songthan the grim, thin plaint of the New Atheists. Highly recommended for classrooms, smallgroups, personal consideration, and friendly discussion with your favorite atheist.”—John G. Stackhouse Jr., Regent College, VancouverMay 2015 160 pp. paper 19.99 978-0-8010-9660-0Apologetics, Philosophy, Theologyebook availableC. Stephen Evans (PhD, Yale University) is University Professorof Philosophy and Humanities at Baylor University. He is also aProfessorial Fellow at the Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiryat Australian Catholic University and is a widely traveled speaker.Evans is the author or editor of more than two dozen books, includingNatural Signs and Knowledge of God: A New Look at TheisticArguments, Faith Beyond Reason, Why Believe? Reason andMystery as Pointers to God, and God and Moral Obligation.“Evans is one of the foremost philosophers of religion in the world today. In this book, asynthesis of some of his more detailed earlier work, he has given us an accessible, lucid,and well-ordered analysis of the New Atheism and, what is far more important, expositionsof the best historic and contemporary philosophical and theological responses. Anyintelligent layperson can read this book with pleasure as well as profit, and it would makea great text for general-level courses as well.”—David Lyle Jeffrey, Baylor University“The so-called New Atheists have set the context for much contemporary disbelief inany god at all. Evans knows this but digs much deeper into much more problematicobjections. His profound response is orderly, clear, and persuasive. I am most impressed byhis explanation of how our perception of God relates to evidence, reason, and the witnessof Scripture.”—James W.

Theological, Historical & Ethical StudiesReading Barth with CharityA Hermeneutical ProposalGeorge Hunsinger“George Hunsinger has mastered the rare art of combining passion with clarity, andpolemics with charity. Reading Barth with Charity not only shows readers what KarlBarth did—and did not—have to say about the Trinity and election but also instructsthem in the wider tradition of Christian reflection on God. I would not be surprised ifit turned out to be a modern classic.”—Joe Mangina, Wycliffe College, Universityof Toronto“George Hunsinger has been in the front ranks of the traditionalist reading of Karl Barthover against revisionist interpretations. In this masterful book, he gives us a spirited,rigorous, and comprehensive presentation of the traditionalist tenet that Barth consideredGod’s antecedent trinitarian perfection to be the ground for the divine acts of creationand election. The brilliance of this account extends beyond internal Barthian debates andillumines crucial issues in contemporary Christology and trinitarian theology.”—Khaled Anatolios, Boston College School of Theology and Ministry“With his usual sharp, logical precision, George Hunsinger offers a ringing challenge tothe revisionist interpretation of Barth’s theology. In so doing, he champions a reading ofBarth that is more thoroughly trinitarian, evangelical, and (broadly speaking) catholic.A major contribution to Barth studies, and at the same time a rigorous, lucid introductionto Barth’s theology for nonspecialists.”—Martha Moore-Keish, ColumbiaTheological Seminary“Reading Barth with Charity offers a long-needed corrective to the revisionist readings ofBarth. Professor Hunsinger’s work is an authoritative and accessible guide to the disputedquestions of Barth’s theology, especially his doctrine of the Trinity and election and hisaccount of divine action. Highly recommended!”—Paul L. Gavrilyuk, Universityof St. Thomas“This new Barth-book of George Hunsinger presents a careful and deliberate analysisof Barth’s Church Dogmatics and stresses that for Barth, God is the one who loves infreedom. Hunsinger argues convincingly that God’s relation to the world stands incorrespondence to and is a repetition of God’s Trinity.”—Christiane Tietz, Universityof Zurich, SwitzerlandApril 2015 208 pp. paper 24.99 978-0-8010-9531-3Theologyebook availableGeorge Hunsinger (PhD, Yale University) is Hazel ThompsonMcCord Professor of Systematic Theology at Princeton TheologicalSeminary.

Theological, Historical & Ethical StudiesTraces of the TrinitySigns of God in Creation and Human ExperiencePeter J. Leithart“Peter Leithart deftly discovers traces of the Trinity in the world we inhabit day to day,from dirty coffee cups to a lover’s embrace. These reflections—each chapter an exquisiteessay—prompt us to gaze at the divine presence we’d so easily neglect without his seasonedeye and unstilted pen. Occasionally whimsical, often lyrical, invariably insightful, thisbook isn’t intended to be the final word on the Trinity, but it should be the first.”—JackLevison, Southern Methodist University; author of Inspired, Fresh Air, and Forty Dayswith the Holy Spirit“This is the most delightful book I have read in a long time. One of its delights is its clear,gracefully written prose, which easily engages the reader. The book presents a cogent casefor a highly significant point: the whole created world images the divine Trinity. Leithart’sargument has the potential, therefore, to bring major change to our study of all the wayswe live in the world.”—John M. Frame, Reformed Theological SeminaryExcerptEvery feature of creation that we have examined takes on a new brilliance when werecognize that both God and humans are in a relation of mutual habitation. Theperichoretic patterns of creation offer fresh, biblically grounded ways to imagine God.God is in the world and the world in God, as I am in the world and the world in me.Creation resembles the Creator, and the human being as imago Dei is a created Son whoresembles his Father. Sex physically expresses not only the indwelling of love but also theindwelling love of God for his bride, the creation, and the creation’s union with her God.The Triune God indwells every moment of time with all that he is, and in that indwelling issimultaneously the God of all times. God inhabits the past as the God of present and future,the present as the Alpha and Omega, and the future as the God who has indwelled everypast moment until the end of time. God has spoken, and his Word is in the world, evenas the world is created and sustained by the Word. As the music of God, the Spirit inspireshearts to sing; the Spirit who hovered over the formless and empty waters harmonizes,orchestrates, and sets the rhythm for all things. As we discover the pattern of perichoresis,traces of the Trinity, everywhere, so more is disclosed of the Trinity whose traces they are.March 2015 176 pp. paper 17.99 978-1-58743-367-2Spirituality/Spiritual Formation, God, Christianity and Cultureebook availablePeter J.

Theological, Historical & Ethical StudiesThe Gospel according to HereticsDiscovering Orthodoxy through Early Christological ConflictsDavid E. WilhiteIn this volume, a recognized expert in early Christian theology covers the majorchristological heresies from the first eight centuries of Christianity. What did the ancientheretics say about Jesus and why? David Wilhite offers a charitable reading to carefullydiscern the concerns that led them to their conclusions, teaching orthodox Christologyby explaining the false starts. While some studies offer a revisionist take on variousindividual figures, The Gospel according to Heretics takes a more comprehensiveapproach, covering the whole era of the ecumenical councils. It also situates Christianityin relation to Judaism and Islam.Drawing on up-to-date scholarship yet accessible for beginning students, this engagingintroduction to the christological heresies not only helps readers understand teachings aboutJesus that the early church rejected but also shows how the history of theology is relevant fortoday’s church. Professors and students in theology and church history courses, pastors, andinterested laypeople will value this work.ContentsIntroduction: Defining Heresy, Revising Orthodoxy1.

Theological, Historical & Ethical StudiesFieldwork in TheologyExploring the Social Context of God’s Work in the WorldChristian ScharenThe Church and Postmodern CultureJames K. A. Smith, series editorIn this addition to the acclaimed The Church and Postmodern Culture series, skilledtheologian Christian Scharen examines the relationship between theology and its socialcontext. He engages with leading postmodern thinker and social theorist Pierre Bourdieuto offer helpful theoretical and theological grounding to those who want to reflect criticallyon the faith and practice of the church. Church vitality requires looking outward toinquire how God is at work loving the world and acting for its good amid real burdensand brokenness, says Scharen; in Fieldwork in Theology, he integrates theology andethnography to articulate a vision for the church’s involvement with what God is doing inthe world. The book provides concrete examples of churches living out God’s mission tohelp a wide array of readers understand the social context of doing theology.Fieldwork in Theology will benefit professors and students in philosophy, theology,and ministry courses, particularly those undertaking ministry internships or fieldworkassignments. Brief and engaging chapters work well for the classroom and substantialfootnotes and bibliography provide ways to explore the issues more deeply.About the SeriesThe Church and Postmodern Culture series features high-profile theorists in continentalphilosophy and contemporary theology writing for a broad, nonspecialist audienceinterested in the impact of postmodern theory on the faith and practice of the church.August 2015 144 pp. paper 19.99 978-0-8010-4930-9Philosophy, Ecclesiologyebook availableChristian Scharen (PhD, Emory University) is vice president ofapplied research at Auburn Theological Seminary in New York City.He previously taught at Luther Seminary. He has authored a numberof books, including One Step Closer and Faith as a Way of Life, andis the book review editor of Ecclesial Practices. An ordained pastorin the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Scharen has servedcongregations in California, Georgia, and Connecticut.lPraise for the Series“[This] series is not just a good idea; it is actually essential. If mission, liturgy, and pastoralcare are to be effective today, then churches need a better understanding of so-calledpostmodern culture as something to be reckoned with and sometimes resisted. Increasingly,there is an educated interest in religion, but there is also a need to be well-informed aboutpostmodern thought and its very complex relation both to postmodern culture (to which itis often actually hostile) and to religion. Again the need is for a critical appreciation—notdismissal and not empty adulation. This series aims to provide this in an accessible manner.I am convinced that the main ideas of postmodernism are actually not as ‘difficult’ aspeople suppose and that a clear and simple presentation of them actually assists widercultural discussion. An additional purpose of the series is to introduce to a wider audiencetheologies that are already trying critically to assimilate the postmodern turn. Since someof these are intensely focused on the importance of ‘church,’ it is crucial that this occur.Although it is already happening, it needs to crystallize. This series may be just the thing tobring it about.”—John Milbank, University of NottinghamAlso in the Series28Liturgy as a Wayof LifeThe Economyof DesireThe Politics ofDiscipleshipWhat Would JesusDeconstruct?E mbodying the A rtsin C hristian W orshipC hristianity and C apitalismin a P ostmodern W orldB ecoming P ostmaterialC itizensBruce Ellis BensonDaniel M.
