Kyle C. Strobel - Böcker

This volume provides an interpretative key to Jonathan Edwards's theology developed from within his own doctrinal constructs. Strobel offers a dogmatic exposition of Edwards's theology by unveiling the trinitarian architecture of his thought. Building upon this analysis, Strobel applies his construct to reinterpret three key areas of redemption debated widely in the secondary literature: spiritual knowledge, regeneration, and religious affection. In order to achieve this purpose, Strobel's approach is theological rather than philosophical, employing Edwards's self-confession as a Reformed theologian to guide his analysis. In advancing a theological reading of Edwards, Strobel focuses on the systematic nature of Edward's theology, ordering it according to his doctrinal affirmations. This necessitates, as many Edwards scholars now affirm, a primary focus on Edwards's trinitarian theology, where the Trinity serves as the key ontological principle which orders the whole of his doctrinal construction.By grounding the interpretive key in Edwards's understanding of the Trinity, Strobel's idiosyncratic exposition of his doctrine of the Trinity serves to recast Edwards's theology in a new light.

Books on the Christian life abound. Some focus on spirituality, others on practices, and others still on doctrines such as justification or forgiveness. Few offer an account of the Christian life that portrays redeemed Christian existence within the multifaceted and beautiful whole of the Christian confession. This book attempts to fill that gap. It provides a constructive, specifically theological interpretation of the Christian life according to the nature of God’s grace. This means coordinating the Triune God, his reconciling, justifying, redemptive, restorative, and otherwise transformative action with those practices of the Christian life emerging from it. The doctrine of the Christian life developed here unifies doctrine and life, confession and practice within the divine economy of grace.Drawing together some of the most important theologians in the church today, Sanctified by Grace achieves what no other theological text offers – a shared work of dogmatic theology oriented to redeemed Christian existence.

In this volume, Kyle Strobel, an expert in spiritual formation and an academic theologian, and theologian Kent Eilers, whose Reading Theology Wisely was a finalist for the Christianity Today Book of the Year award, address the key soteriological theme of sanctification. This book provides substantive engagement with the doctrine of sanctification, including sections on the Apostles' Creed, Scripture, the history of the doctrine, dogmatics, and Christian praxis.Sanctification and the Life of Faith follows two books coauthored by Kyle Strobel on the practical outworking of sanctification, and it builds on Eilers and Strobel's coedited volume Sanctified by Grace: A Theology of the Christian Life. In this doctrinal account, Strobel and Eilers show students how to integrate theology into the life of faith and demonstrate how theological thinking is a part of Christian worship. Each chapter begins with an interlude inviting reflection on artwork that illuminates the book's themes of God's presence and hospitality and the dynamics of divine and creaturely holiness. The book also includes sidebars, chapter summaries, art, prayers, and reflections.The Soteriology and Doxology series consists of introductory textbooks that cover key topics in soteriology. Series volumes provide substantive treatments of doctrine while pointing to the setting of theology in doxology. Kent Eilers and Kyle C. Strobel serve as series editors.
