Tyler R. Wittman is Assistant Professor of Christian Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville.

His articles have appeared in International Journal of Systematic Theology, Modern Theology, and Pro Ecclesia.

'The volume is an ambitious and demanding read that is full of rich insights into the theological method of its interlocutors. Wittman demonstrates a sensitivity to, and awareness of, the issues in the landscape of Aquinas and Barth scholarship, yet charts his own course by avoiding the temptation to become unduly entangled in them.' Charles C. Helmer, International Journal of Systematic Theology
