Systematic Theology: Volume 3

"The first volume of this trilogy set forth the Christian understanding of God, creation, and providence. The second volume discussed the Word become flesh and its significance. Now in the third and final volume, Thomas Oden explores how the work of God in creation and redemption is being brought to consummation by the Holy Spirit in persons, through communities, and in the fullness of human destiny." "Here Oden uncovers and restates the core traditions of Christian faith for a generation he believes is all too ready to discard essentials from the past for the ephemeral fads and fancies of the present. In doing so, he takes up the traditional topics of the latter part of a systematic theology: the Holy Spirit (the person of the Holy Spirit, the work of the Spirit); Salvation (the way of repentance, the community of celebration, marks of the Church); and human destiny (death and personal survival, the end of human history, the communion of saints and the life everlasting)." "He turns frequently to the "principal consensual exegetes" that represent the mind of the believing church: the ecumenical councils and early synods; the four standard teachers of the eastern church tradition (Athanasius, Basil, Gregory Nazianzen, and John Chrysostom), and of the West (Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, and Gregory the Great); as well as Cyril of Jerusalem, Cyril of Alexandria, Hilary, Leo, John of Damascus, and Thomas Aquinas. Also included are classic Reformation sources from Luther, Melanchthon, and Calvin, through Chemnitz and Ursinus to Wesley and Edwards. He quotes relatively nonconsensual writers like Origen, Tertullian, Novatian, and Menno Simons when they have generally articulated, confirmed, or refined consensual views." "Life in the Spirit is a comprehensive examination that uncovers the essentials of Christian belief and demonstrates that they are as compelling today as they were at the time of their formulation."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
