  Character Of Theology

  $28.00

  Theology done in today’s context is strikingly different from past evangelical approaches. In this new project John Franke, writing with our postmodern world in mind, reflects these directions. He offers an introduction to theology that covers the usual territory, but does so attuned to today’s ecclesial and cultural context.

  In contradistinction to more traditional works, Franke:

  – critiques traditional evangelical theological conceptions
  – emphasizes the “local” nature of theology
  – engages the postmodern context
  – contrasts conservative and postconservative approaches
  – interacts with the broader faith community

  Sure to provoke intense discussion, The Character of Theology will help Christians to be faithful in a world in which the spiritual and intellectual
  landscape is ever changing.

  Joshua Judges Ruth 1-2 Samuel

  $75.00

  Among the most important sources for commentary on these books are the homilies of Origen, most of which are known to us through the Latin translations of Rufinus and Jerome. Only two running commentaries exist–one from Gregory of Nazianzus, one of the famous Cappadocian theologians, the other from Bede the Venerable.

  Another key source for the selections found here derives from question-and-answer format, such as Questions on the Heptateuch from Augustine, Questions on the Octateuch from Theodoret of Cyr and Thirty Questions on 1 Samuel from Bede. The remainder of materials come from a wide variety of occasional and doctrinal writings, which make mention of the biblical texts to support the arguments.

  Readers will find a rich treasure trove of ancient wisdom, some appearing here for the first time in English translation, that speaks with eloquence and challenging spiritual insight to the church today.
