Between Providence and Choice Biography
Many Christians struggle with the topic of divine guidance. Yet, treatments of such guidance often do insufficient justice to the theological complexities underneath the practical questions. Therefore, in this book the author develops a Reformed approach to guidance using a systematic theological approach. First, he develops a typology of approaches to guidance in contemporary evangelicalism. This typology uncovers a number of underlying theological questions, which are discussed through extensive interactions with the writings of John Calvin and Jonathan Edwards. Based upon these interactions, the author proposes a Reformed approach to divine guidance in which vocation, wisdom, discernment, and transformation are central concepts. Furthermore, this approach to guidance emphasizes the importance of the Christian community and the ongoing influence of the Holy Spirit.
Theology of the Soul
Theology of the Soul engages with a thoroughly theological and philosophical subject in fresh and profound ways: the soul. The author examines the possibility of a concept of the soul in modern, Western theology. In the second part of the 20th century speaking about the soul was strongly criticized in Theology and Philosophy. Consequently, many academic theologians consider the word “soul” problematic. Remarkably, the word “soul” is very much present in contemporary culture. This book takes cultural notions of the soul as employed by, for example, Marilynne Robinson and Oprah Winfrey, as a point of departure. The author then investigates the functions of the soul in classical theolog...
Klimijzers
Antwoorden op moderne geloofsvragen op basis van oude theologische teksten. In Klimijzers reflecteren Wim Vermeulen, Marcus van Toor en Bart Schreuders op moderne geloofsvragen op basis van oude theologische teksten. Bestaat God? Mag ik twijfelen? Hoe ervaar ik God in mijn dagelijks leven? Hoe staat een goede en almachtige God lijden toe? Veel jongvolwassenen maken een periode door waarin deze geloofsvragen onverwachts kunnen opduiken. In dit boek introduceren veertien auteurs elk een theologische tekst uit de brede christelijke traditie van nul tot nu, en reflecteren daarop. Hierbij worden er geen rationeel dichtgetimmerde antwoorden gegeven, maar wordt er met een open en eerlijke blik naar de vragen gekeken. Elk hoofdstuk sluit af met gespreksvragen en leestips voor verdere studie. Dit boek is voor iedereen die zoekt naar geloofsverdieping en onder de indruk wil raken van de vitaliteit van het christelijke denken.
The Spirit Is Moving: New Pathways in Pneumatology
The work of the Spirit of God is a vibrant and much discussed topic in many contemporary Christian communities worldwide. Apparently, the Spirit is moving. Theological reflection on this phenomenon has even given rise to what is often called a ‘pneumatological renaissance’. This volume not only takes stock of these remarkable developments, but also probes some of their hidden aspects and highlights avenues for future exploration. It contains a wide-ranging but coherent assortment of essays, covering the five relations of the Holy Ghost distinguished already in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed: how does the Spirit of God relate to the Bible, to the Christ, to the human person, to the c...

Sustainable Futures for Climate Adaptation
Considering sustainability as a flawed and restrictive term in practice, Sustainable Futures for Climate Adaptation argues that we must radically adapt humanity and reform society, cities, buildings, and our approach to migration in order to coexist in harmony with our natural environments. The book conceives an Earth–human coexistence where the world’s regions are shared globally between all people, in contrast to a reality where we have lost touch with the natural world. It is this decoupling of humanity and nature that has brought us to the brink of climate disaster. In response, Benedict Anderson explores the concept of ‘wearing our ecology’, where human mobility is synchronized ...
