Written for Our Learning
The idea of determinate or single meaning in biblical interpretation has long been considered to be a purely modern idea, indissolubly wedded to the hermeneutics of historical criticism. At a time when historical criticism is increasingly viewed with theological suspicion, it must be asked whether determinate meaning has a future in biblical interpretation. Written for Our Learning explores the various expressions of single meaning within Christian theology, from the apostolic period to the present, and argues for the preservation of the discernment of determinate meaning as the goal of biblical reading and study.
The Unaccommodated Calvin
This book attempts to understand Calvin in his 16th-century context, with attention to continuities and discontinuities between his thought and that of his predecessors, contemporaries, and successors. Muller pays particular attention to the interplay between theological and philosophical themes common to Calvin and the medieval doctors, and to developments in rhetoric and method associated with humanism.
Freedom and Sin
A fresh argument for a venerable but recently neglected solution to the problem of human freedom and divine sovereignty. If God is the creator of all that is, then God is the creator of everything we do. This basic premise of Christian theology raises difficult questions. How can we have free will if God is the source of all our actions? And how can we explain the existence of evil without ascribing it to God? Freedom and Sin resolves this conundrum through a classical position known as compatibilist indeterminism: the idea that God can determine our free choices while not determining all our choices. This solution, which insists that God’s agency is both non-competitive with ours and is n...
Systematic Theology, Volume 2, Second Edition
"Rivals the major systematic theologies of this century."--Baptist History and Heritage Journal, July 1996"One of the characteristics of Garrett's system that needs especially to be noted is its balanced, judicious, and nearly invariably objective presentation of materials. While holding true to the teachings of his own Baptist faith, Garrett so carefully and judiciously presents alternatives . . . that teachers and students from other confessional and denominational positions will find his work instructive."--Consensus, 1997"If one is searching for an extensive exposition of the biblical foundations and historical developments of the various loci of systematic theology, there is no more com...
Speech, Print and Decorum in Britain, 1600--1750
Filling an important gap in the history of print and reading, Elspeth Jajdelska offers a new account of the changing relationship between speech, rank and writing from 1600 to 1750. Jajdelska draws on anthropological findings to shed light on the different ways that speech was understood to relate to writing across the period, bringing together status and speech, literary and verbal decorum, readership, the material text and performance. Jajdelska's ambitious array of sources includes letters, diaries, paratexts and genres from cookery books to philosophical discourses. She looks at authors ranging from John Donne to Jonathan Swift, alongside the writings of anonymous merchants, apothecaries...
Allusion and Meaning in John 6
Many interpreters read John 6 as a contrast between Jesus and Judaism: Jesus repudiates Moses and manna and offers himself as an alternative. In contrast, this monograph argues that John 6 places elements of the Exodus story in a positive and constructive relationship to Jesus. This reading leads to an understanding of John as an interpreter of Exodus who, like other contemporary Jewish interpreters, sees current experiences in light of the Exodus story. This approach to John offers new possibilities for assessing the gospel’s relationship to Jewish scripture, its dualism, and its metaphorical language.

Summary of Richard A. Muller's Now
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The meaning of now is one of the many mysteries of time. It is a simple yet fascinating and mysterious concept. Now refers to a specific time, but the time it refers to is constantly changing. #2 The rate of time is not just a quandary of science fiction. It is difficult for humans to detect the difference between the flow of time when it moves at a slower rate and when it moves at a faster rate. #3 The concept of now is extremely difficult for humans to understand. We know what time is, but we can’t describe it. We know that there is no past or future, but only three presents: a present of things past, memory; a present of things present, sight; and a present of things future, expectation. #4 The flow of time is an aspect of reality that the physicist sometimes seems inclined to neglect. However, there is hope that physicists will address the now conundrum in future theories.
Tugend und Rechtfertigung
Peter Martyr Vermigli (1499-1562), einer der Vater des reformierten Protestantismus, hielt in den Jahren 1554 bis 1556 in Strassburg Vorlesungen uber die Nikomachische Ethik des Aristoteles, welche nach seinem Tod 1563 in Zurich in der Form eines fortlaufenden Kommentars herausgegeben wurden. In der vorliegenden Studie wird einerseits Vermiglis Hermeneutik im Kontext der weiteren Kommentarliteratur untersucht, andererseits die Interaktion philosophischer und theologischer Anliegen in seiner Auslegung beleuchtet. Dies ermoglicht, die Grundlinien der reformierten Philosophierezeption sowie die Verhaltnisbestimmung von aristotelischer Ethik und Heilslehre in der fruhneuzeitlichen reformierten Theologie am Beispiel Vermiglis zu rekonstruieren.
