Book Description
Youngchun Cho investigates the theology of Anthony Tuckney, an overlooked yet highly influential member of the Westminster Assembly. After a brief biography and an evaluation of Tuckney’s use of Scripture and reason, Cho shows how he related union with Christ to the doctrine of the Trinity, soteriology, and assurance of salvation. This book refutes claims that seventeenth-century Reformed theology in general, and the Westminster Standards in particular, pursued logical precision at the expense of the dynamic aspect of union with Christ, demonstrating that union with Christ was a critical element to Tuckney’s theological agenda. Series Description Complementing the primary source material in the Principal Documents of the Westminster Assembly series, the Studies on the Westminster Assembly provides access to classic studies that have not been reprinted and to new studies, providing some of the best existing research on the Assembly and its members.

No Other Savior But Jesus Christ
Author: Anthony Tuckney
Publisher: Puritan Publications
ISBN: 1626630801
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
Beginning with his text from Acts 4:12, “Neither is there salvation in any other…” Dr. Tuckney demonstrates that there is no salvation but by Christ, who is the only Savior. He shows this from God’s design that there is no name under heaven given to us by which we must be saved. Nor is there any temporal, much less any spiritual and eternal salvation other than which is found by way of covenant through Jesus Christ. In opposition to this, Tuckney takes to task those in his day (and ours) who say that salvation may be found outside the Gospel, which includes other religious views and philosophical arguments. Then, Dr. Tuckney examines the all-important question about those who might be saved apart from a true knowledge of the Gospel. These include those in heathen nations who remain in darkness and never hear the word of God, infants who die in infancy, and those mentally handicapped who have no ability to understand the Gospel. What does God do with such people? Tuckney examines this point by point with scholarly precision and a biblical answer. This is not a scan or facsimile, has been updated in modern English for easy reading and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

Cambridge Platonist Spirituality
Author: Charles Taliaferro
Publisher: Paulist Press
ISBN: 9780809105397
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
This anthology collects essays, poetry and treatises by a group of English philosophers from the Age of Reason who were devoted to the goodness of God and the spiritual importance of rationalism. These philosophers, known as the Cambridge Platonists, produced a movement in philosophical theology that flourished around Cambridge University in the seventeenth century and influenced not only Great Britain, but the United States and beyond. Their school of thought emphasized the great goodness of God, the compatibility of reason and faith, an integrated life of virtue, and the deep joy of living in concord with God. This volume introduces and presents the key documents of the Cambridge Platonist movement while setting its thinkers in their historical and religious context: the decades of turbulence and political crises surrounding the English Civil War.

The Theology of the Westminster Standards
Author: J. V. Fesko
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433533146
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
For centuries, countless Christians have turned to the Westminster Standards for insights into the Christian faith. These renowned documents—first published in the middle of the 17th century—are still considered by many to be some of the most beautifully written summaries of the Bible's teaching ever produced. Church historian John Fesko walks readers through the background and theology of the Westminster Confession, the Larger Catechism, and the Shorter Catechism, helpfully situating them within their original context. Organized according to the major categories of systematic theology, this book utilizes quotations from other key works from the same time period to shed light on the history and significance of these influential documents.

Reforming Apologetics
Author: J. V. Fesko
Publisher: Baker Academic
ISBN: 1493411306
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Challenging the dominant Van Tillian approach in Reformed apologetics, this book by a leading expert in contemporary Reformed theology sets forth the principles that undergird a classic Reformed approach. J. V. Fesko's detailed exegetical, theological, and historical argument takes as its starting point the classical Reformed understanding of the "two books" of God's revelation: nature and Scripture. Believers should always rest on the authority of Scripture but also can and should appeal to the book of nature in the apologetic task.

The Routledge Handbook of Idealism and Immaterialism
Author: Joshua Farris
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100043334X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 829
Book Description
The influence of materialist ontology largely dominates philosophical and scientific discussions. However, there is a resurgent interest in alternative ontologies from panpsychism (the view that at the base of reality exists potential minds, minds, or mind-lets) to idealism and dualism (the view that all of reality is material and mental). The Routledge Handbook of Idealism and Immaterialism is an outstanding reference source and the first major collection of its kind. Historically grounded and constructively motivated, it covers the key topics in philosophy, science, and theology, providing students and scholars with a comprehensive introduction to idealism and immaterialism. Also addressed are post-materialism developments, with explicit attention to variations of idealism and immaterialism (the view that reality depends on a mind or a set of minds). Comprising 44 chapters written by an international and interdisciplinary team of contributors, the Handbook is organised into five clear parts: Idealism and the history of philosophy Important figures in idealism Systematic assessment of idealism Idealism and science Idealism, physicalism, panpsychism, and substance dualism Essential reading for students and researchers in metaphysics, philosophy of science, philosophy of religion, and philosophy of mind, The Routledge Handbook of Idealism and Immaterialism will also be of interest to those in related discplines where idealist and immaterialist ontology impinge on history, science, and theology.

The Pastor Theologian
Author: Gerald Hiestand
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310516994
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
Pastoral ministry today is often ruled by an emphasis on short-sighted goals, pragmatic results, and shallow thinking. Unfortunately, those in the academy tend to have the opposite problem, failing to connect theological study to the pressing issues facing the church today. Contemporary evangelicalism has lost sight of the inherent connection between pastoral leadership and theology. This results in theologically anemic churches, and ecclesial anemic theologies. Todd Wilson and Gerald Hiestand contend that among a younger generation of evangelical pastors and theologians, there is a growing appreciation for the native connection between theology and pastoral ministry. At the heart of this recovery of a theological vision for ministry is the re-emergence of the role of the "pastor theologian." The Pastor Theologian presents a taxonomy of the pastor-theologian and shows how individual pastors—given their unique calling and gift-set—can best embody this age-old vocation in the 21st century. They present three models that combine theological study and practical ministry to the church: The Local Theologian—a pastor theologian who ably services the theological needs of a local congregation. The Popular Theologian—a pastor theologian who writes theology to a wider lay audience. The Ecclesial Theologian—a pastor theologian who writes theology to other theologians and scholars. Raising the banner for the pastor as theologian, this book invites the emerging generation of theologians and pastors to reimagine the pastoral vocation along theological lines, and to identify with one of the above models of the pastor theologian.
