The Disabled God Revisited

Trinity, Christology, and Liberation

Lisa D. Powell, St. Ambrose University, USA

Lisa D. Powell strengthens and amplifies the claim that God is disabled, made by Nancy Eiesland in her ground breaking book The Disabled God (1994) She revisits Eiesland’s claim about Christ’s resurrected body and her conclusions about eschatological embodiment, arguing that it is the able-body that does not persist eschatologically, but all humanity journeys toward ever more transparency, vulnerability and interdependency as the Body of Christ

The Karamazov Case

Dostoevsky's Argument for His Vision

Terrence W. Tilley

This is a new interpretation of Dostoevsky’s novel that scrutinizes it as a performative event (the “polyphony” of the novel) revealing its religious, philosophical, and social meanings through the interplay of mentalités or world-views that constitute an aesthetic whole This way of discerning the novel’s social vision of sobornost’ (a unity between harmony and freedom), its vision of hope, and its more subtle sacramental presuppositions, raises Tilley’s interpretation beyond the standard “theology and literature” treatments of the novel and interpretations that treat the novel as providing solutions to philosophical problems

Transfigured not Conformed

Christian Ethics in a Hermeneutic Key

Hans G. Ulrich, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany, Edited by Brian Brock, University of Aberdeen, UK

The priority of God’s working and speaking orients the approach to Christian ethics in the work of Hans G. Ulrich, whose work is presented here for the first time in English. Ulrich’s ethics affirm the lively presence of the living work of God in orienting the daily life of Christians This presence enables members of the Church to live as creatures trusting in God’s promises, bearing witness in political and economic spheres, and trusting in life as a gift in response to bioethical issues

Trinity and Election

The Christocentric Reorientation of Karl Barth’s Speculative Theology, 1936-1942 Shao Kai Tseng, Zhejiang University, China

Challenging Bruce McCormack’s paradigm of postKantian Barth scholarship, this book builds on the interpretative model that Sigurd Baark developed in 2018 This model interprets Barth’s innovative adoption of an Anselmian mode of theological speculation, against the intellectual-historical background of the idealist tradition of speculative metaphysics that culminated in Hegel

A Brief Systematic Theology of the Symbol

Joshua Mobley, Baylor University, USA

An exploration in Trinitarian theology from the perspective of a theology of the symbol In dialogue primarily with Henri de Lubac, but also with Karl Rahner, Aquinas and Augustine, the volume argues that the triad, symbolized-symbolsymbolism, is an apt analogy for the Trinity, and a fruitful structuring principle for theology

Balthasar and Prayer

Travis LaCouter, College of the Holy Cross, USA. Travis LaCouter renders an original and constructive Catholic theology of prayer drawing on the work of Hans Urs von Balthasar This study is distinctive for establishing a method of proceeding through Balthasar’s sprawling oeuvre (and the similarly vast secondary literature) by arguing for three “categories” of texts in Balthasar’s writings and, separately, three “waves” of Balthasar readers LaCouter then explores the trinitarian, Christological, ecclesial, anthropological, and eschatological dimensions of prayer in Balthasar’s theology

Karl Barth and Pentecostal Theology

A Convergence of the Word and the Spirit

Edited by Frank D. Macchia, Vanguard University of Southern California, USA, Terry L. Cross, Lee University, USA & Andrew K. Gabriel, Horizon College and Seminary, Canada

The essays in this volume evaluate and build on Barth’s theology from the perspective of Pentecostal theology and, thereby, contribute to constructive Pentecostal systematic theology by using Barth as a valuable dialogue partner At present, a theological conversation of Pentecostals with Barth does not exist and this volume fills this void. It will aid those who seek a convergence of the Word and the Spirit in theology

The Sacramental Vision of Edward Bouverie Pusey

Tobias A. Karlowicz, Diocese of Quincy, USA

Arguing that Pusey's work anticipated contemporary conversations about the nature of theology, Karlowicz locates the heart of Pusey’s theological project in a theological perception which looks through the physicality and concreteness of language, to discern Christ at the centre of both Scripture and the physical creation This ‘sacramental vision,’ which grew from Pusey’s critique of Christianity’s decay and his formative engagement with patristic hermeneutics and ontology, forms his teaching on the sacraments as vehicles for a Christian life of eucharistic self-oblation in union with Christ, and demonstrates the relevance of his thought to contemporary theology

The Concept of Canon in the Reception of the Epistle to the Hebrews

David Young, Eastern Nazarene College, USA

David Young traces the reception of the Epistle to the Hebrews in early Christianity through its reproduction in collections of Paul’s letters, quotations of the epistle by Christian theologians, and its treatment in early catalogues of scriptures Young argues that Hebrews’ reception in early Christianity was influenced by a number of factors which had little to do with debates about an authoritative canon of Christian writings, and more with Hebrews’ relevance to their own theological arguments and the principles of ancient editorial practice

The Impact of Bodily Experience on Paul’s Resurrection Theology

Kai-Hsuan Chang, China Evangelical Seminary, Taiwan

This volume engages with the longstanding scholarly debate concerning the development of Paul’s resurrection theology, by investigating the correlation between his bodily experiences and his diverse articulations about resurrection Drawing on insights from cognitive linguistics, Chang considers Paul’s ideas about resurrection as fundamentally grounded in recurrent patterns of bodily experience, arguing that such experience of some religious activities in Paul’s time—death rites, spirit possession, and baptism—contributed to the formation and development of his resurrection theology

The Transformational Role of Discipleship

in

Mark 10:13-16

Passage Towards Childhood

Katherine Joy Kihlstrom Timpte, St. Mary’s College of California, USA

This volume addresses a gap in scholarship by answering the question: “how is a child supposed to be the model recipient of the kingdom of God?” While most scholarship on Mark 10 agrees that children are metaphorically employed because of their qualities of dependence, the book argues that it is an image of the disciples' radical transformation that both mirrors and reverses the traditional rites of passage by which a child becomes an adult

Hellenistic

Inter-state Political

Ethics and the Emergence of the Jewish State

Doron Mendels, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Dealing with the emergence of a moral ethical inter-state system in the Hellenistic world during the years 200-168 BCE, this book provides a comprehensive overview of this set of values Doron Mendels argues that this perspective adds a new dimension to our knowledge of classical and Hellenistic political theory in which the individual state, rather than an inter-state relationship, is the main concern Mendels shows in this study that concepts such as liberty, justice, fairness, loyalty, reciprocity, adherence to ancestral laws, compassion, accountability and love of fatherland became meaningful in the relations between nations in the Hellenistic sphere

The Bible and Patriarchy in Traditional Tribal Society

Re-reading the Bible’s Creation Stories

Chingboi Guite Phaipi, McCormick Theological Seminary, USA

An examination of how biblical texts reinforced female subjugation in tribal societies in north east India in the early 20th century after tribes had accepted Christianity Phaipi shows how most tribal groups reinforced women’s subordinate status by invoking newly authoritative biblical texts such as the creation stories in Genesis 1, 2 and 3 Guite provides a contextually sensitive and scholarly reading of the Bible, with particular attention to the ways patriarchal norms in biblical narratives are perpetuated, rather than considered and reformed
