Ephraim Radner is one of the most creative and imaginative (if at times deeply unsettling) Christian thinkers of our time. He has offered searching analysis of Christian divisions and advocated tirelessly for the theological interpretation of Scripture as an activity of the church. Up until now, however, awareness of his work has been mostly confined to a small circle of academic specialists. Figural Reading and the Fleshly God seeks to change that. The book brings together eighteen scholars from across the Christian spectrum—Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, and Eastern Orthodox—to articulate and develop Radner's greatest theological contributions. The book is divided into three parts, each devoted to a major theme that has animated Radner's thinking: Scripture, Creation, and the Church. Among the issues touched on are Radner's understanding of divine grace, his counterintuitive views on time, and his figural approach to preaching, as illustrated by extensive quotations from his sermons.The collective insights of these scholars produce an attractive, accessible guide to one of the most important theologians of the modern era. By critically engaging Radner's strong, prophetic voice, the book seeks to preserve and extend his rich theological imagination and vision beyond the scope of his published work. Figural Reading and the Fleshly God is an invitation to all—even those unfamiliar with Radner—to discover why his theology matters for the life of the church today.

We do not simply interpret God's word. His word interprets us.Figural interpretation has been a trademark of Anglican devotions from the beginning. Anglican readers--including Tyndale, Cranmer, Hooker, and Lewis--have been figural readers of the Bible. By paying attention to how words, images, and narratives become figures of others in Scripture, these readers sought to uncover how God's word interprets all of reality. Every verse shines the constellation of God's story.Edited by David Ney and Ephraim Radner, All Thy Lights Combine explores how the Anglican tradition has employed figural interpretation to theological, Christological, and pastoral ends. The prayer book is central; it immerses Christians in the words of Scripture and orders them by the word. With guided prayers for morning and evening, this book invites readers to be re-formed by God's word.Become immersed in the riches of the Anglican interpretive tradition.

Enlightenment attempts to save the Old TestamentPastors and scholars today lament the Old Testament's neglect in the West. But this is nothing new. In the eighteenth century, natural philosopher John Hutchinson witnessed the Old Testament becoming devalued as Scripture. And in his mind, the blame lay with Isaac Newton.In The Quest to Save the Old Testament, David Ney traces the battle over Scripture during the Enlightenment period. For Hutchinson, critical scholarship's enchantment with the naturalism of Newton undermined the study of the Old Testament. As cultural forces reshaped biblical interpretation, Hutchinson spawned a movement that sought, above all, to reclaim the Old Testament as Christian Scripture. Hutchinson's followers sought to be shaped by Scripture, not culture. Rejecting the Newtonian degradation of history, they offered a compelling figural defense of the Old Testament's doctrinal and moral significance. The Old Testament is the voice of Providence. It is the means of discerning God's hand at work both in nature and in history.The Quest to Save the Old Testament is a timely retelling of fateful and faithful attempts to "save" the Old Testament.
