Opis

Continuing the discussion initiated in volume one, volume two of Evangelical Calvinism further articulates the central motifs of this mood within Reformed theology by examining themes having to do with dogmatics and devotion. After further clarifying the methodological and dogmatic aspects common to an Evangelical Calvinism, the heart of the present volume is an explication of the vicarious ministry of Christ as it is worked out in its diverse theological dimensions. The volume offers constructive accounts of various aspects of liturgy, sacraments, and doxology, showing the vitality and lived spirituality of this Christian vision of faith and practice. Both advocates and critics of Evangelical Calvinism now have an extended and thorough body of work with which to interact. As with volume 1, this volume promises to set the agenda for contemporary and constructive Reformed studies in a way that provides an alternative to neo-Calvinism and Westminster Calvinism alike.""Beamishly kerygmatic, instinctively pastoral, and warmly accessible, this stimulating second set of essays dedicated to Evangelical Calvinism embodies a generous and expansive style of Reformed theology and spirituality. A welcome and enriching read!"" --Kenneth Oakes, University of Notre Dame""Evangelical Calvinism offers a practical, Trinitarian, Reformed Christology that frames what it means to live out the divine life on earth. It provides an essential reorientation toward the basis of truly authentic theological praxis, or doctrine and devotion--participation in Jesuss life grounded in the Triune life of God. With gracious dialogue and theological rigor, Evangelical Calvinism offers a well-rounded and informative approach in ultimate service to Christ and his church.""--Cherith Fee Nordling, Associate Professor of Theology, Northern SeminaryMyk Habets is Professor of Theology and Dean of Faculty at Carey Baptist College and Graduate School, Auckland, New Zealand.
