In this profound yet accessible book Oliver Crisp brings a number of Reformed theologians into dialogue with contemporary theological concerns in a bid to form and maybe to transform the way we do theology today. Crisp dialogues with theological giants such as John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, Karl Barth, and others. The topics chosen reflect central theological themes:      creation and providence  sin and salvation  the Christian life.    The combination of past thought and present concerns makes for a totally engaging conversation through which Oliver Crisp presents his ideas. If we are to do contemporary theology well we need to listen carefully to past masters. Retrieving Doctrine: Explorations in Reformed Theologybrings a number of key Reformed theologians into dialogue with contemporary philosophical and doctrinal concerns in a bid to further this strategy of theological retrieval'.   The topics chosen for this book reflect some of the central concerns of Reformed theology:      Part I: Creation and Providence  1. John Calvin on Creation and Providence  2. Karl Barth on Creation  Part II: Sin and Salvation  3. Jonathan Edwards on the imputation of sin  4. Francis Turretin on the Necessity of the Incarnation  5. John McLeod Campbell and non-penal substitution  6. On Karl Barth's denial of universalism  Part III: The Christian Life  7. John Williamson Nevin on the Church  8. John Calvin on Impetration  9. Jonathan Edwards on the Qualifications for Communion","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49551360885009,"sku":"GOR009452097","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1842276883.jpg?v=1751091657"},{"product_id":"god-incarnate-book-oliver-d-crisp-9780567033482","title":"God Incarnate","description":"The doctrine of the incarnation is one of the central and defining dogmas of the Christian faith. In this text, Oliver Crisp builds upon his previous work, Divinity and Humanity: The Incarnation Reconsidered (Cambridge, 2007). In God Incarnate, he explores the Incarnation further and covers issues he did not deal with in his previous book. This work attempts to further the project of setting out a coherent account of the Incarnation by considering key facets of this doctrine, as parts of a larger, integrated, doctrinal whole.   Throughout, he is concerned to develop a position in line with historic Christianity that is catholic and ecumenical in tone, in line with the contours of the Reformed theological tradition within which his own work falls. And, like its predecessor, this book will draw upon philosophical and theological resources to make sense of the problems the doctrine faces.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49571727802641,"sku":"GOR010108913","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50163102515473,"sku":"CIN0567033481VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52485708644625,"sku":"NLS9780567033482","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0567033481.jpg?v=1751986041"},{"product_id":"christology-ancient-and-modern-book-oliver-d-crisp-9780310514961","title":"Christology, Ancient and Modern","description":"Christology, Ancient and Modern brings together proceedings from the first annual Los Angeles Theology Conference.

But the idea that 'God was in Christ' has become a much-debated topic in modern theology. Oliver Crisp addresses six key issues in the Incarnation defending a robust version of the doctrine, in keeping with classical Christology. He explores perichoresis, or interpenetration, with reference to both the Incarnation and Trinity. Over two chapters Crisp deals with the human nature of Christ and then provides an argument against the view, common amongst some contemporary theologians, that Christ had a fallen human nature. He considers the notion of divine kenosis or self-emptying, and discusses non-Incarnational Christology, focusing on the work of John Hick. This view denies Christ is God Incarnate, regarding him as primarily a moral exemplar to be imitated. Crisp rejects this alternative account of the nature of Christology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49590962553105,"sku":"GOR006987061","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50146510078225,"sku":"CIN052169535XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50440107589905,"sku":"GOR013952230","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51003188117777,"sku":"NIN9780521695350","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52474546651409,"sku":"NLS9780521695350","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/052169535X.jpg?v=1751072879"},{"product_id":"deviant-calvinism-book-oliver-d-crisp-9781451486131","title":"Deviant Calvinism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDeviant Calvinism\u003c\/b\u003eseeks to show that the Reformed tradition is much broader and more variegated than is often thought.

Doing so, as Analyzing Doctrine reveals, creates a distinct and rich analytic theology.    Analyzing Doctrine employs traditional themes of systematic theology to structure Crisp's analytic theological analysis. Crisp examines the doctrine of God, the mystery of the Trinity, and God's intention in creating and relating to the world. He then addresses the incarnation, original sin, the virgin birth, Christ's two wills, salvation, and, finally, the resurrection. In the process of making his constructive case, Crisp engages a range of historic theological voices from the tradition, as well as contemporary biblical studies and systematic theology.   Clear, accessible, and engaging, Analyzing Doctrine establishes analytic theology's place in the architecture of systematic theology while also challenging some of its misconceptions. By seamlessly weaving together Christian tradition and analytic philosophy to construct his theology, Crisp argues for the integral role that analytic theology plays in the theological imagination.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52100716134673,"sku":"CIN1481309862VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781481309868.jpg?v=1778579838"},{"product_id":"after-jonathan-edwards-book-oliver-d-crisp-9780199756308","title":"After Jonathan Edwards","description":"In recent years there has been a flowering of interest in the work of Jonathan Edwards.

What emerges is a picture of Edwards's understanding of God's relationship to the created order that differs in important respects from those offered by several influential recent interpreters. Crisp does not flinch from showing where Edwards made mistakes as well as where he offers fresh insights. Edwards is shown to be at once relevant to current discussion of issues like perfect being theology, panentheism, divine freedom or union with Christ, while remaining something of an idiosyncratic figure whose idealism and commitment to an uncompromising theological determinism can seem out of step with certain modern sensibilities. But, argues Crisp, even if we disagree with the conclusions Edwards reaches, which sometimes jar with our own intuitions about the divine nature or the created order, the clarity, rigor and sheer originality of his thinking offer an important set of themes and ideas with which contemporary theologians can fruitfully engage as they set about the task of constructive theology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52335506522385,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52335507177745,"sku":"NLS9780199755295","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780199755295.jpg?v=1758160237"},{"product_id":"jonathan-edwards-and-the-metaphysics-of-sin-book-oliver-d-crisp-9780754638964","title":"Jonathan Edwards and the Metaphysics of Sin","description":"Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is widely regarded as America's greatest philosopher-theologian.

This constitutes a substantial contribution to the literature on Edwards and, more broadly, to philosophical theology in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52352068452625,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52352069402897,"sku":"NLS9780754638964","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780754638964.jpg?v=1758181579"},{"product_id":"after-jonathan-edwards-book-oliver-d-crisp-9780199756292","title":"After Jonathan Edwards","description":"In recent years there has been a flowering of interest in the work of Jonathan Edwards. In the last decade this has been encouraged by the publication of many previously unavailable manuscripts, in the Yale edition of Edwards' works. In the same period there has been some interest in the New England theology inspired by Edwards' work, which dominated much of American theology in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. However, the interest in New England Theology has been much less pronounced than that expressed in the work of Edwards. This is strange given the influence of New England Theology and the ways in which the theologians of this movement developed and expressed broadly Edwardsian themes. After Jonathan Edwards offers a reassessment of the New England Theology in light of the work of Jonathan Edwards. Scholars who have made important contributions to our understanding of Edwards are brought together with scholars of New England theology and early American history to produce a groundbreaking examination of the ways in which New England Theology flourished, how themes in Edwards' thought were taken up and changed by representatives of the school, and its lasting influence on the shape of American Christianity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52433325195537,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52433325883665,"sku":"NLS9780199756292","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780199756292.jpg?v=1759177644"},{"product_id":"analytic-theology-book-oliver-d-crisp-9780199203567","title":"Analytic Theology","description":"Philosophy in the English-speaking world is dominated by analytic approaches to its problems and projects; but theology has been dominated by alternative approaches. Many would say that the current state in theology is not mere historical accident, but is, rather, how things ought to be. On the other hand, many others would say precisely the opposite: that theology as a discipline has been beguiled and taken captive by 'continental' approaches, and that the effects on the discipline have been largely deleterious. The methodological divide between systematic theologians and analytic philosophers of religion is ripe for exploration. The present volume represents an attempt to begin a much-needed interdisciplinary conversation about the value of analytic philosophical approaches to theological topics. Most of the essays herein are sympathetic toward the enterprise the editors are calling analytic theology; but, with an eye toward balance, the volume also includes essays and an introduction that try to offer more critical perspectives on analytic theology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52516156080401,"sku":"NLS9780199203567","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780199203567.jpg?v=1776940222"},{"product_id":"reader-in-contemporary-philosophical-theology-book-oliver-d-crisp-9780567031457","title":"A Reader in Contemporary Philosophical Theology","description":"Since the early 1980s there has been a philosophical turn to the analysis of Christian doctrines. This has been stimulated by the renewal of the Philosophy of Religion in the 1960s and 1970s by figures like Alvin Plantinga, Nicholas Wolterstorff, William Alston, Anthony Flew, Alistair MacIntyre, Marilyn Adams, Robert Adams and others. This new literature is usually dubbed 'philosophical theology', and has a wide range of application to particular doctrines, theological method, and the work of particular theologians in the past, such as Anselm, Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, Louis de Molina, Jonathan Edwards and Karl Barth. Yet there are very few (if any) textbooks devoted to this new work.The renewal of philosophical theology is of interest to theologians as well as philosophers. This textbook on the subject fosters this cross-disciplinary interest and make a literature that has developed in the professional journals and a number of monographs accessible to a much wider readership - particularly a student readership.It fills an important gap in the market, and should have a wide appeal for teachers at University and Seminary level education, as well as to postgraduate courses.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52617938141457,"sku":"NLS9780567031457","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780567031457.jpg?v=1761531754"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-oliver-d-crisp.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
