The Transfer of Sin
According to the apostle Paul, Christ was made sin. What does this mean: can sin be transferred? Was Christ punished? At the end of the 17th century, in the so-called Third Antinomian Controversy English and Dutch Reformed theologians discussed the concept of imputation in its interrelationship with forgiveness, punishment, and justice. This study helps you to understand their complex and fascinating theological and philosophical reflections. Because these same themes had already been extensively discussed in the preceding century in the context of debates against Socinianism, the Antinomian Controversy is framed within an interconfessional and international context, highlighting the significance of Socinians and Hugo Grotius.
In the Spirit
How does the Christian produce good works in service of her neighbor after justification? In Martin Luther's famous 1520 treatise The Freedom of a Christian, the Reformer claimed that Christ's love "springs spontaneously" from the Christian's soul as good works. In Luther's late-medieval theological context, however, this statement was incoherent with philosophical theories of moral action, which required an interplay between the soul and body. This problem persists in Lutheran theology today where human passivity in justification is extended over the Christian's entire temporal life. Yet, Luther seemed to find solutions to this question in his late controversies with Johann Agricola over law and gospel. This study looks to pneumatological developments in that controversy for resources that support a more coherent view of moral action in the Christian life.
Sanctified Imagination
The first of its kind, this seminal work charts the unlikely theological quest for Christian holiness by founder Charles Harrison Mason and the Wesleyan-Holiness Pentecostal tradition known as the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), the largest Pentecostal denomination in the United States. Through fresh research and critical analysis, this book challenges existing assumptions by scholars and reveals how little-known black renewal movements informed Mason’s theological understanding and that of the movement. The rich theological resources of this historically marginalized movement are not primarily accessible in academic journals, position papers, or theological treatises. Instead, these reso...
Resurrection as Salvation
This book shows how Paul's tight link between resurrection and salvation both raised problems for and profoundly shaped Early Christian theology.
Renovatio
Few think of Martin Luther as a theologian of holiness. "Be a sinner and sin boldly," after all - and leave sanctification for Catholics, Orthodox, Finnns and the Reformed. On the basis of close work in the sources, Renovatio advances a revisionist thesis: from the first inklings of his "Augustinian turn" c. 1514 to this death, Luther believed, taught and confessed a robust theology of renewal in holiness. The new, Reformation theology of God's promise (c. 1518) involved significant adjustments in Luther's understanding of justification, but did not alter his commitment to the real renovation of the faithful. Hence the mature Luther's irreducibly trinitarian dogmatics of sin, grace and holiness is "Augustinian" and "evangelical" in equal parts. As such, it commands the regard of theologians who practice their art within traditions stemming from the church's doctor gratiae under the magisterial rule of the gospel --
