Karl Barth and Pentecostal Theology
The essays in this volume evaluate and build on Barth's theology from the perspective of Pentecostal theology and, thereby, contribute to constructive Pentecostal systematic theology by using Barth as a valuable dialogue partner. At present, a theological conversation of Pentecostals with Barth does not exist and this volume fills this void. More widely, it will aid all those who seek a convergence of the Word and the Spirit in theology. Barth and Pentecostals share some important common theological interests. Barth's mature theology has a decidedly christological emphasis. Likewise, historically, Pentecostals have often spoken of a “full gospel” with an emphasis on Christ as savior, hea...
Being Spiritual while Doing Research
Although the topic of spirituality has been experiencing a renaissance since the end of the previous century, it is not always associated with academic activities. The book invites scholars from all fields to rethink this traditional divide between knowledge and spirituality, offering fresh perspectives on how the two can coexist and enhance each other. Twenty-nine authors from across the world illustrate how scholarly pursuits in various disciplines can be deeply spiritual journeys.
Deliver us from Evil
Of all the array of different ministries within the church, it is perhaps deliverance ministry which causes the most concern and confusion, and yet it is also the one most critical to understand in order to practice well. Drawing on an array of disciplines, including practical theology, biblical theology and systematics, this book brings together leading thinkers in their fields to consider the role of deliverance ministry in the life of the church today.
T&T Clark Handbook of Suffering and the Problem of Evil
This wide-ranging work provides an extensive exploration of the theology of theodicy, asking questions such as: should all instances of suffering necessarily be understood as evil? Why would an omnipotent and benevolent God allow or perpetrate evil? Is God unable or unwilling to reduce human and non-human suffering on Earth? Does humanity have the capacity to exercise a moral evaluation of God's motives and intentions? Conventional disciplinary boundaries have tended to separate theological approaches to these questions from philosophical ones. This volume aims to overcome these boundaries by including biblical (Part I), historical (Part II), doctrinal (Part III), philosophical (Part IV), an...
The Impact of the Market
Late modern pluralistic societies are characterized by an infinitely multi-coloured individuality of their citizens and a wealth of associations and groups. This "plurality", which is difficult to grasp, is welcomed by many people as a source of freedom, but feared by others inside and by many observers outside as social chaos. However, this plurality is countered by a limited number of so-called "social systems", which are to a large extent characterized by organizational, institutional and normative structures and weight. In the theoretical, empirical, and historical contributions to this volume, theologians, economists and market practitioners discuss the many tensions between market econ...

Revisiting the Meissen Declaration after 30 Years
The Theological Conference between the Church of England and the Evangelical Church in Germany is a key component of the Meissen Declaration, which was adopted 30 years ago and to which the churches have committed themselves in order "to resolve the outstanding differences between the participating churches". To highlight the importance of the relations in a time of political uncertainty, the 2019's conference was dedicated to "Revisiting the Meissen Declaration after 30 years". Discussion focused on the interchangeability of ministries, with reference to the understanding of this by the church and episcopate. The papers focus on significant ecclesial and historical/theological developments....
