An important and incisive new contribution to political theology
Studies in christelijke leer en Schrift Reeks
Deze serie duikt in de diepgaande kruispunten van christelijke doctrine en Schrift. Elk deel beoogt nieuwe perspectieven op theologie, geworteld in klassieke evangelische verplichtingen. Het bevordert een creatieve en trouwe omgang met bijbelteksten, waarbij de dialoog met traditie en hedendaagse kwesties wordt gestimuleerd. De collectie spreekt lezers aan die geïnteresseerd zijn in wetenschappelijke, maar toegankelijke verkenningen van systematische theologie.

Exploring the nature of the church as an institution, this book critiques political liberalism through the lens of covenant theology and political science's "new institutionalism." It delves into the church's political boundaries and presents the local church as an embassy of Christ's kingdom, informed by the biblical canon. Leeman offers insights into how these theological and political frameworks shape our understanding of the church's role in society.
New exploration of the nature of God, integrating scholarship with piety and doxology.
Theology and the Mirror of Scripture

Evangelicalism has long been a hotly disputed label, and what counts as evangelical theology is often anyone's guess. Is evangelicalism a static bounded set defined by clear doctrinal limits, or is it a dynamic centered set without a discernible circumference? In this inaugural volume in the Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture, Kevin Vanhoozer and Daniel Treier present evangelical theology as an "anchored" set, rooted in the Trinity. In response to increasing evangelical fragmentation, Theology and the Mirror of Scripture offers a clarion call to reconceive evangelical theology theologically by reflecting on the God of the gospel as mirrored in Scripture. Such "mere" evangelical theology will be an exercise in Christian wisdom for the purpose of building up the fellowship of saints.
