We would like to dedicate this volume to the numerous theologians at Biola
University who have helped to create a rich and vibrant context for theological
reflection. Thank you for your continued willingness to pore over difficult texts,

We would like to begin by thanking Biola University, and more specifically Talbot School of Theology, for creating the space and providing the release time (in Uche’s case) to wrestle through the great theological minds of the Christian tradition. It is rare to find a place where you can walk out of a class on Aquinas to a reading group on Maximus to a faculty discussion on Pseudo-Dionysius, but those sorts of interactions are not unusual at Biola. More specifically, the Classical Theology program has provided a place to read the great texts of the Christian tradition with eager-minded students and collaborative faculty, and we are both encouraged that this sort of recovery is still taking place within a distinctively evangelical context.

About Reformed Dogmatics in Dialogue: The Theology of Karl Barth and Jonathan EdwardsTwo Reformed giants in conversation. Jonathan Edwards and Karl Barth are widely considered to be the greatest North American and Swiss theologians, respectively. Though situated in vastly different contexts and separated by nearly two hundred years, they shared intriguing similarities. Both employed exegesis, theology, and philosophy with ease. Both reasoned with unique quality, depth, and timelessness. Both resisted liberal shifts of their day while remaining creative thinkers. And both were Reformed without uncritically assuming the tradition. Edited by Uche Anizor and Kyle C. Strobel, Reformed Dogmatics in Dialogue engages Edwards and Barth for constructive dogmatics. Each chapter brings these theologians into conversation on classic theological categories, such as the doctrine of God, atonement, and ecclesiology, as well as topics of particular interest to both, such as aesthetics and philosophy. As with all great theologians, Edwards and Barth continue to illuminate. Readers will appreciate their rigor of thought and devotion to Christ. |
