Bridging Barth and Postliberalism
New Explorations in Theology
by David B. Hunsicker
Foreword by Stanley HauerwasIn the past half-century, few theologians have shaped the landscape of American belief and practice as much as Stanley Hauerwas. His work in social ethics, political theology, and ecclesiology has had a tremendous influence on the church and society.

paperbackReading Scripture as the Church
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Hermeneutic of Discipleship
New Explorations in Theology
by Derek W. Taylor
The Bible is meant to be read in the church, by the church, as the church.

paperbackT. F. Torrance as Missional Theologian
The Ascended Christ and the Ministry of the Church
New Explorations in Theology
by Joseph H. Sherrard

However, recent scholarship has argued that the theologies of ...

Demons, the Will, and Virtue in Patristic Soteriology
New Explorations in Theology
by Samantha L. Miller
For many Christians today, the notion that demons should play a role in our faith—or that they even exist—may seem dubious. But that was certainly not the case for John Chrysostom, the "golden-tongued" early church preacher and theologian who became the bishop of Constantinople near the end of the fourth century. Indeed, references to demons and the devil permeate his rhetoric. ...

paperbackMartin Luther and the Rule of Faith
Reading God's Word for God's People
New Explorations in Theology
by Todd R. Hains
Foreword by Robert KolbMartin Luther considered the reading of God's word to be his primary task as a theologian, a pastor, and a Christian. Though he is often portrayed as reading the Bible with a bare approach of sola Scriptura—without any concern for previous generations’ interpretation—the truth is more complicated.
In this New Explorations in Theology (NET) volume, Reformation scholar Todd ...
