  • An Examination of Three Recent Philosophical Arguments Against Hierarchy in the Immanent Trinity
    “A profoundly insightful book.” –Sam Storms, Lead Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bridgeway Church, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma One GodOne in Three Persons Unity of Essence, Distinction of Persons, Implications for Life How do the three persons of the Trinity relate to each other? Evangelicals continue to wrestle with this complex issue and its implications for our understanding of men’s and women’s roles in both the home and the church. Challenging feminist theologies that view the Trinity as a model for evangelical egalitarianism, One God in Three Persons turns to the Bible, church history, philosophy, and systematic theology to argue for the eternal submission of the Son to the Father. Contributors include: WAYNE GRUDEM JOHN STARKE One God CHRISTOPHER W. COWAN MICHAEL A. G. HAYKIN KYLE CLAUNCH PHILIP R. GONS JAMES M. HAMILTON JR. ANDREW DAVID NASELLI ROBERT LETHAM K.

  • Chapter One Recent Developments in the Doctrine of Scripture D
    CHAPTER ONE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE DOCTRINE OF SCRIPTURE D. A. Carson .......tr ___________ ~ CHAPTER ONE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE DOCTRINE OF SCRIPTURE The pattern of Christian thought that emerged from the Reforma­ tion is often summed up under the three phrases: sola gratia, sola fides, and sola Scriptura. When I was a boy! I sometimes wondered how logic could be preseIVed if there were three statements each claiming that something or other was "sola"; but in due course I learned that grace is the sole ground of salvation! faith is the sole means of salvation! and the Scriptures are the sole ultimate authority for faith and life-all set in the context of the polemics of the Reformation period. Precisely because the Reformers' theological formulations were shaped by the controversies of their age! it is clear that the "faith and life" formula was meant to be an all-embracing rubric! not a limiting one. They claimed that the deposit of truth lies in the Bible! not in the church or in the magisterium of the church. Their concern! in other words! was to spell out the locus of authority in order to rebut their Roman Catholic opponents! not to restrict the range of the Bible's authority to religious life and thought! away from history and the natural world.l The modern disjunction would have seemed strange to them. This side of the EnlightenmenC debate over the Scriptures soon moved on to broader matters. Although the history of these debates has been chronicled many times!2 a great deal of detailed work still needs to be done.

The book is a rarity in scholarship and a major achievement from which anyone with an interest in Christian theology or the Old Testament can profit.”—Jon D. Levenson, Harvard University “Readers will delight in tracking Anderson’s march through the Scriptures with high theological concepts in hand. There is a freshness and originality here that few biblical scholars can match.”—Robert Louis Wilken, University of Virginia “Creative, profound, even startling, these studies by Anderson open up fresh vistas for reading the Old Testament through the resources both of Jewish tradition and of historic Christian theology. A game-changing work of scholarship.”—Walter Moberly, Durham University CONTENTS Introduction PART 1: “WHO IS A GOD LIKE YOU?” 1.
