With all of the excitement from AAR/SBL this year, you would be forgiven for thinking Bloomsbury T&T Clark publications had been quiet in the month of November. But never fear, there were plenty of exciting publications, including the two following gems from Professor Webster at St Andrews, UK:
God Without Measure: Working Papers in Christian Theology. Volume I: God and the Works of God
The first of two volumes from John Webster, these essays bring together studies in a range of topics in dogmatic and moral theology. John Webster's own theological explorations discuss the themes of God's inner being and His outer acts.
'God Without Measure is a mature work of theological revival. Many of these essays are jewels in their own right, yet when read together they reveal the working of a first-class theological mind in its prime developing a consistent conception of the task of systematics and directed at matters of first theology: God's life in itself and then towards the world.' - Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Trinity Evangelical School, USA
God Without Measure: Working Papers in Christian Theology: Volume 2: Virtue and Intellect
In the second volume, the two of which serve as companions to John Webster's work The Domain of the Word, the discussion progresses to topics in moral theology, and conflicted theology of created intellect. Reflections cover a range of ethical themes: the nature of human dignity, mercy, the place of sorrow in Christian existence, the nature of human courage, dying and rising with Christ and the presence of sin in human speech.
'Always in service to Jesus Christ, Webster lays our basic components of the moral life, seamlessly and astutely drawing upon the Fathers, Aquinas, Calvin, John Owen, and Barth... This is a work of a contemporary master to whom all Christians must attend.'
Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary, USA
'the various essays here will repay careful study and consideration.'
David Fergusson, University of Edinburgh, UK
