The Trinity: An Introduction
Crossway | October 20, 2020
The Trinity is one of the most essential doctrines of the Christian faith, as it reveals a magnificent truth about God—that he is one God eternally existing as three distinct persons. While Christians often struggle to find the right words to describe the union of Father, Son, and Spirit, the Bible gives clarity concerning the triune God’s activity in nature (creation), grace (redemption), and glory (reward). In the second installment of the Short Studies in Systematic Theology series, theologian Scott Swain examines the Trinity, presenting its biblical foundations, systematic–theological structure, and practical relevance for the church today.
The Oxford Handbook of Reformed Theology
Oxford University Press | November 30, 2020
This comprehensive survey features specially commissioned essays by over forty leading scholars of Reformed theology, and is the latest addition to the extensive, multi-disciplinary series of scholarly works published by Oxford University Press.
Part I of the handbook looks first at the contexts in which Reformed theology was derived. It traces the patristic and medieval heritage of the Reformed church, as well as the modern relationships and conversations that define the contemporary, global Reformed movement. Part II offers an assessment of representative theologians and texts, their history, and their contributions to the Reformed tradition. Finally, Part III presents key themes, topics, and doctrines examined by today’s Reformed theologians, and discussions about current research.
