Anabaptist Ethics and the Catholic Christology of Hans Urs von Balthasar Layton Boyd Friesen, Evangelical Mennonite Conference, Canada Why do Mennonites need help with a theology of peace? How is Roman Catholic theology going to aid that theology of peace? Layton Boyd Friesen offers a theology of secularity as the world's response to the non-resistance of Christ. He explores the three key aspects of von Balthasar's Christology to help Mennonite peace theology regain its momentum in the secular age with a contemplative union with Christ.

Towards a Politics of Communion

Catholic Social Teaching in Dark Times Anna Rowlands, Durham University, UK An accessible guide to the main time periods, key figures, documents and themes of thinking developed as Catholic Social Teaching (CST). Rowlands builds an overview of the central principles of CST with case studies that relate to contemporary social policy themes. The volume also considers the increasingly critical questions concerning the role of CST in a pluralist and post-secular context. This is an incisive overview of this distinctive body of Catholic political theology, and a new and challenging contribution to the debate about the transformative potential of CST in contemporary society.

Brewer, Baylor University, USA Through contributions from theologians, historians, and biblical scholars, this handbook makes the complex (and sometimes disparate) Anabaptist movement more accessible. It achieves this by outlining Anabaptism's early history, its basic shared theological convictions, and its ongoing challenges to and influence on contemporary Christianity.

Suspended God: Music and a Theology of Doubt Maeve Louise Heaney, Australian Catholic University, Australia

Heaney traces the hidden history of music's presence in Christian thought. She uses Lonergan's theological framework to explore musical composition as a theological act. The book presents how the best tradition of Christian theology is born precisely of that quest by introducing eleven ground-breaking theologians through the lens of the questions they engaged with and insights discovered.

Barth and Bonhoeffer as Contributors to a Post-Liberal Ecclesiology

Essays of Hope for a Fallen and Complex World Tom Greggs, University of Aberdeen, UK Edited by Robert W. Heimburger, University of Aberdeen, UK This work uncovers the influence that Barth and Bonhoeffer, killed at the hands of the Third Reich, had on one another, revealing the insights that these two major theologians bring to today’s secular and religious context.

Christian Solar Symbolism and Jesus the Sun of Justice Kevin Duffy, The Church of Notre Dame de France, UK

Kevin Duffy suggests that we rebalance a spiritual symbolism that has over-emphasised darkness and cloud at the expense of light and sun. He proposes a creative retrieval of the traditional title of Christ as the Sun of Justice. This book blends the personal, the social and the cosmic-ecological, speaking powerfully to a secularising era that contemporaries Friedrich Nietzsche and Thérèse of Lisieux both described as one where 'the sun does not shine'.

The Life of Christian Doctrine Mike Higton, Durham University, UK

The lives of Christian churches are shaped by doctrinal theology – the practices by which ideas about God and God’s ways with the world are developed, discussed and deployed. This book explores those practices, and asks why they matter for communities seeking to follow Jesus.

T&T Clark Enquiries in Theological Ethics Brian Brock, University of Aberdeen, UK and Susan F. Parsons, Editor at the journal of the Society for the Study of Christian Ethics

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.

The Single Individual and the Searcher of Hearts

A Retrieval of Conscience in the Work of Immanuel Kant and Søren Kierkegaard Jeff Morgan, Saint Joseph’s College of Maine, USA Jeff Morgan argues that both Immanuel Kant and Søren Kierkegaard think of conscience as an individual’s moral selfawareness before God, specifically before the claim God makes on each person. This innovative reading corrects prevailing views that both figures, especially Kant, lay the groundwork for the autonomous individual of modern life – that is, the atomistic individual who is accountable chiefly to themselves as their own lawmaker.

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.

The Defeat of Satan

Karl Barth's Three-Agent Account of Salvation Declan Kelly, Independent Scholar, UK

God's Church-Community

The Ecclesiology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer David Emerton, St Mellitus College, UK David Emerton argues that Bonhoeffer’s thought breaks open a necessary ‘third way’ between the Scylla of ‘ethnographic’ ecclesiology and the Charybdis of ‘dogmatic’ ecclesiology. Emerton establishes a programmatic theological grammar for any speech about the Church.

John Webster: The Shape and Development of His Theology Jordan Senner, University of St Andrews, UK

Declan Kelly offers an innovative, critical, and constructive exploration of Barth's theology, examining the doctrine of salvation as a 'threeagent drama'; a drama involving God, humanity, and the anti-God powers.

Provides a dynamic introduction to Webster’s theology as a whole, as well as including fascinating forays into the complexities of his engagement with Barth and Aquinas. This raises interesting questions for constructive theological dialogue that is neither straightforwardly Protestant nor Catholic.

The Worldview of the Word of Faith Movement: Eden Redeemed

Mikael Stenhammar, Academy for Leadership and Theology, Sweden Approaches the Word of Faith as a worldview, and analyses the movement through N. T. Wright’s model for worldview-analysis in order to provide necessary nuance and complexity to scholarly interpretations. The analysis shows that there is a narrative core to Word of Faith beliefs in the form of a unique theological story with focus set on the present restoration of Eden’s authority and blessings.

T&T Clark Studies in Systematic Theology

Love, Technology and Theology Edited by Scott A. Midson, University of Manchester, UK

Exploring love in the context of today’s technologies, this volume addresses the difficulty in separating love from romanticist ideals of authenticity, intimacy and depth of relationship. These ideals resonate with theological models of love that highlight the way God benevolently created the world and continues to love it. Technologies, which are designed in response to our desires, do not necessarily enjoy this romanticist resonance, and yet they are now remodelling the world. Are technologies then antithetical to love?

The Church in a World of Religions Working Papers in Theology

Tom Greggs, University of Aberdeen, UK Edited by J. Thomas Hewitt, University of Aberdeen, UK Tom Greggs explores the nature of the Church in a world of many religions, focusing on ecclesiology and theologies of religion. The book addresses the Church as it is brought into being through glorifying God, as well as in a pluralist context as it engages in inter-faith dialogue. In this way, Gregg discerns what it means to be the Church in a pluralist, multi-faith world.

On Femininities in the Song of Songs and Beyond “The Most Beautiful Woman”

Vita Daphna Arbel, University of British Columbia, Canada Introduces new perspectives to gender and feminist studies of the Song of Songs, offering an alternative reading of the multilayered conceptualization of its feminine protagonist, “the most beautiful woman”. Vita Daphna Arbel situates this representation within the cultural-discursive contexts in which the Song partly emerged, and considers the manner in which it disrupts rigid, ahistorical notions of femininity. Finally, Arbel examines the reception and impact of these ideas on later conceptualizations of the Song of Songs' female protagonist with an heuristic examination of Mark Chagall’s Song of Songs painting cycle, Le Cantique des Cantiques.

Jonah: A Commentary

Alastair G. Hunter, University of Glasgow, UK A commentary with a difference, this study explores the reading of the prophet Jonah's travails in the context of two wider themes. These are: (1) the overt and highly sophisticated intertwining of Jonah’s story with an impressively wide range of other biblical texts, often deployed in surprising ways; and (2) the clearly contrarian relationship between God and Jonah which has both vexed and intrigued scholars and lay readers alike for millennia.

Sexuality and Law in the Torah

Edited by Hilary Lipka, University of New Mexico, USA & Bruce Wells, University of Austin, USA An examination of the laws in the Hebrew Bible governing sexual relations and the often implicit motivations behind these laws. The volume also considers narrative and poetic texts where legal traditions and ideas concerning sexual status and behavior intersect and provide important insight into ancient Israel’s social norms and expectations. The book contains extended treatment of the nature and function of marriage and divorce in ancient Israel, the role of sexual regulations in maintaining what biblical authors believed was proper social order, and the different types of sexualities that may have existed in ancient Israel.

Proverbs 1-9 as an Introduction to the Book of Proverbs Arthur Jan Keefer, Eton College, UK

Proverbs 1-9 has long been called a 'prologue' and 'introduction' to the book of Proverbs, a label that this book clarifies by answering the question: how does Proverbs 1-9 function with respect to the interpretation of Proverbs 10-31? Arthur Keefer argues that, in the detail and holistic context of Proverbs, Proverbs 1-9 functions didactically by supplying interpretive frameworks in literary, rhetorical and theological contexts for representative portions of Proverbs 10-31.

Searching for Sarah in the Second Temple Era

Images in the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint, the Genesis Apocryphon, and the Antiquities Joseph McDonald, Brite Divinity School, USA Building upon recent scholarship based on biblical women, Joseph McDonald uses a character-centered literary approach to read the story of Sarah as it was told and retold in the Second Temple period. McDonald offers an alternative to the usual approaches to “rewritten Bible” narratives, which often emphasize near-context, synoptic comparison of retold stories and their scriptural precursors. Rather, he argues that examination of retold narratives as stories in their own right reveals important aspects of their internal literary effects, that may otherwise go unnoticed.

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.

Gods, Spirits, and Worship in the Greco-Roman World and Early Christianity Edited by Craig A. Evans, Houston Baptist University, USA & Adam Z. Wright, Horizon College and Seminary, USA

The 12 studies within explore Greco-Roman religions and superstitions and early Christianity’s engagement with them. The contributors explore the Greco-Roman heroic gods, how they faced death, and how James and John — the sons of Thunder — may well have been viewed in some circles as the equivalent of the “sons of Zeus”. There is also examination of Roman omens, and how they might have been interpreted and utilised in comparison to the omens that accompany the birth and death of Jesus.

The Protevangelium of James Volume 2 Critical Questions

George T. Zervos, University of North Carolina Wilmington, USA George T. Zervos provides a critical investigation of the Protevangelium of James. Whereas Zervos' first volume offers a critical edition of the Greek text together with English translation and critical introduction, he now considers the wide-ranging critical questions in greater depth. Zervos has created a data driven textual commentary on the very early complete papyrus copy of the ProtJac, P.Bodm V, highlighting the idiosyncrasies of the papyrus text vis-à-vis the remainder of the Greek MS tradition. He additionally analyses the perpetuation of doctrinal misrepresentation by a number of later scribes.

The Origin of Sin

Fountains of Wisdom

David Konstan

Edited by Gerbern S. Oegema, McGill University, Canada, Loren T. Stuckenbruck, Ludwig Maximilians University, Germany & Henry W. Morisada Rietz, Grinnell College, USA

Greece and Rome, Early Judaism and Christianity In this powerfully argued book, David Konstan takes a close look at the religious texts of Classical antiquity and the Bible to reveal the original meaning for 'sin' that was changed in later Christian interpretations. Through close philological examination of the words for 'sin' in these texts, in particular the Hebrew hata' and the Greek hamartia, he traces their usage over the centuries in four chapters showing that the usual modern definition of sin, the violation against divine law, has closer links to Graeco-Roman ideas of (pagan) religious violations than to that found in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament.

Jonah: An Earth Bible Commentary

Ruth: An Earth Bible Commentary

Reading Jonah through the lens of climate change, this commentary uses present reality to reconsider the significance of Jonah for contemporary struggles and contexts. Jione Havea approaches the text by reading Jonah forward, giving special attention to the orientation of the narrative toward the sea and Nineveh, and then backward, highlighting the significance of sea and life both on the mainland and on islands to the flow of the narrative. Furtherore, Haves reminds readers that the fish, plant, worm and other beasts are crucial in the narrative, and considers how this affects our reading of the text.

Alice Sinnott highlights ecological dimensions of the book of Ruth and brings together aspects of ecology and environmental science with theology and exegesis to examine how the natural world functions within the text. Sinnott shows how the narrator gives voice to the way in which the Earth functions throughout the story and considers non-human characters as legitimate determining factors in the structuring of the narrative. Integral to Sinnott’s reading of the text is a concern for Earth and matters such as food, famine, death, harvests, grain, day and night and members of the Earth community.

As Trainor traces Luke’s vast geographical journey around the Mediterranean, he cites key moments in the text that highlight fresh environmental insights, offering new hope for contemporary disciples seeking ecological affirmation today.

A Jewish Apocalyptic Framework of Eschatology in the Epistle to the Hebrews

Divine Christology in the Epistle to the Hebrews

Jihye Lee, Westminster Graduate School of Theology, Republic of Korea

Nick Brennan investigates the depiction of the Son in his divine nature in the Epistle to the Hebrews. He argues that not only is the Son depicted as divine in the Epistle, but that this depiction ranges outside the early chapters in which it is most often noted, and is theologically relevant to the pattern of the anonymous author’s argument.

Protology and Eschatology as Background

Jihye Lee argues that a version of an Urzeit-Endzeit eschatological framework — as observed in some Jewish apocalyptic texts — provides a plausible background against which different depictions of the transformation of the world, judgement and the creation of a new world can be explored. Rather than transcendence to the heavenly world that will come after the destruction of the shakable creation, Lee suggests a more dualistic new world to come.

Irenaeus, the Scriptures, and the Apostolic Writings Re-evaluating the Status of the New Testament Writings at the End of the Second Century Kenneth Laing, Trinity Western University, Canada Kenneth Laing challenges the concept of Irenaeus as primary witness to the period of time in which the New Testament achieved scriptural status, calling into question some of the most basic conclusions and assumptions of New Testament canon formation scholarship. Laing proposes a new interpretation of Irenaeus’ understanding of the nature and basis of authority of the New Testament writings, based on his Christocentric theology of revelation.

Jesus and the Empire of God

Royal Language and Imperial Ideology in the Gospel of Mark Margaret Froelich, Willamette University, USA Margaret Froelich examines the Gospel of Mark by applying political and empire-critical methodologies. Where previous scholars have identified Mark as an anti-imperial and often completely pacifist and egalitarian text, Froelich follows postcolonial thinkers in perceiving a far more ambivalent message. By situating the Gospel directly in a historical and socio-political context, she argues that the Gospel portrays the Kingdom of God as a conquering empire, with Jesus as its victorious general and client king.

Passage Towards Childhood

Katherine Timpte 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, Timpte 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.

The Function of a Motif

Hershman examines the Markan portrayal of Jesus as teacher in comparison with the portrayals of teachers in other Greco-Roman literature, and argues that the teaching motif in Mark is used in highly distinctive ways. Careful study reveals that Mark uses the trope of teaching not to expound a fully fleshed-out ethical agenda, but to emphasize Jesus’s unique authority, to incorporate conflicts with other claimants to authority into the Gospel narrative, and to persuade the gospel audience to accept his Christological vision and its demands on their lives.

Reading the New Testament as Scripture Robert Wall has collected and revised some of his most important essays of the last two decades, including Unity of Luke and Acts (2010), The Unifying Theology of the Catholic Epistles (2003-13) and Images of Church in John’s Revelation (2015). Completed by a new essay on the canonical approach to the Paratext of Hebrews, and with vital "introductory notes" for each chapter that highlight both Wall's revisions and his response to critical reception, this volume is yet one more asset in Wall's continuing pursuit of the canonical function of the church’s Scriptures.

The problem of Psalm 68:19 (MT) in Ephesians 4:8 has a rich history of interpretation. Particular focus has been placed on Jewish and Pauline interpretations of the psalm, and the Jewish exegetical tradition that reads Moses as the one who ascends Mount Sinai to receive and give the law. Todd Scacewater suggests a second tradition, henceforth unnoticed, that interprets Psalm 68 eschatologically. Both traditions are significant, but the eschatological tradition provides a better matrix through which to understand Paul’s use of the psalm.
