Vainio introduces cosmology from a "state of the question" perspective, examining the history of the idea in dialogue with C. S. Lewis. This work, which is related to a NASA-funded project on astrobiology, ties into the ongoing debate on the relationship between Christian theism and scientific worldview and shows what the stakes are for religion and theology in the rise of modern science.

Free will is a perennial theological and philosophical topic. As a central dogmatic locus, it is implicated in discussions around core Christian doctrines such as grace, salvation, sin, providence, evil, and predestination. This book offers a state-of-the-art look at recent debates about free will in analytic and philosophical theology. The chapters revolve around three central themes: the debate between theological compatibilists and libertarians, the communal nature of Christian freedom, and the role of free will in Christology. With contributions by leading scholars, the volume provides a valuable overview of current arguments as well as novel openings and ideas for further discussion.

This book considers how certainty and faith are related in the Christian faith. It asks: How certain can Christian believers be about their beliefs about God? Should Christians doubt the assurance of their salvation? The chapters provide a historical analysis of both certainty of faith and assurance from the early Church to modern times while also paying attention to confessional differences. The author explores contemporary debates in analytic epistemology on the certainty and fallibility of our beliefs and argues for a fallibilist understanding of Christian faith. The book also addresses some less-discussed arguments that threaten the certainty of faith and offers an account of faith as cognitive practice. It will be of interest to scholars of both theology and philosophy.

After the postmodern turn, every tradition seeks the right to have their own rules of rational discourse. The crucial question is: are there ways to communicate between the traditions so that the traditions do not need to give up their identities in order to take part in conversation? Vainio examines the basic assumptions behind well known types of Christian theology and seeks ways in which they might interact with one other and with other non-Christian traditions without capitulation of their identities. Vainio claims that there are religious identities that can be negotiated and communicated, and that there are ecclesiastical doctrines which can be meaningfully discussed among churches. This book explores three key areas: analysis of the uses of 'fideism' within classical Christian theology; clarification of different types of theological method that seek to express the task of theology in contemporary setting; an explanation of the contours of religious identity and rationality which takes seriously both classical Christian identity and pluralistic contexts where most of the Christian communities dwell nowadays. The proposal for "negotiability" of Christian identity draws together ideas from, among others, virtue epistemology, reformed epistemology, communitarianism, and feminist sensibilities.

What does it mean to use language religiously? How does religious language differ from our ordinary linguistic practices? Can religious language have meaning? Among others, these questions are part of the so-called problem of religious language, which originates from the peculiar object of many religious claims, that is, the transcendent, or more precisely, God.

The reformer Martin Luther is one of the most influential and controversial theologians in the history of the church. While his ideas are rooted in the currents of medieval theology, he frequently seems to offer radical solutions to classical theological problems. Luther's place in the history of the church is convoluted, yet the themes and issues addressed in his writings remain relevant for the church today, as evidenced by his continued influence on Protestant dialogue. This enduring relevance encourages and even demands fresh, critical interpretation of Luther with the benefit of modern perspectives.Rather than offering an apology of Luther, Luther under Scrutiny advances such a fresh interpretation, a critical account of many of Luther's central ideas that set the Reformation into motion. These include, among other things, his views on the possibility of knowledge and the fallenness of reason, his contentious account of bound choice, and his appropriation of the patristic doctrine of theosis. Olli-Pekka Vainio, a member of the Finnish School of Luther research, asks whether Luther's radical views end up undermining his entire theological vision.In order to save theology, Luther seems to be on the path of destroying the very foundations of theology as a public endeavor. Nonetheless, a charitable engagement with his ideas, many of which were ingenious and are still valuable, should not reject Luther altogether. Walking the line between wholesale rejection and blind acceptance, Luther under Scrutiny invites the reader to learn from both the reformer's achievements and mistakes by engaging his thinking through critical lenses.

The Reformer Martin Luther is the source of endless fascination and dispute. Not only his antagonists but also his supporters have created a host of representations of his thought. On the one hand, Catholic and other similar voices have accused Luther of being the major agent in the birth of modern secularism. On the other hand, Lutherans themselves are divided on the meaning of Reformation. In view of all these interpretations and dismissals of Luther and the Lutheran Reformation, it requires a certain boldness to claim that Luther''s theology is intellectually fascinating and contains exceptional resources. This is precisely what the present volume claims. The studies collected in this volume aim at showing in which sense Luther remains a fully Catholic and genuinely Augustinian theologian who is not so much a forerunner of problematic modernity as a representative of classical Christianity. At the same time, Luther''s theology contains ideas that can be made fruitful in dialogue with currents like communitarianism or Radical Orthodoxy. The volume consists of articles written by scholars affiliated with the project known as the New Finnish Interpretation of Luther. The topics include Luther''s theological anthropology, Trinity, christology, sacraments, faith, theology of the cross, the Virgin Mary, sexuality, music, and the spiritual reading of the Holy Scriptures.

Haluatko diktaattoriksi? Tahdotko tyhmien massojen kulkevan tahtipuikkosi mukaan? Haluatko nähdä, kuinka vauvoja kastetaan sinun mukaasi?Tämä kirja opastaa, kuinka saat pässit uskomaan puheisiisi. Esittelemme aloittelevan diktaattorin viestintävinkit, joiden ansiosta sanomasi uppoaa kansaan kuin veitsi vaariin. Kirjan neuvot nojaavat psykologisiin ja kielitieteellisiin tutkimuksiin sekä aitoihin esimerkkeihin. Opas on konkreettinen ja käytännönläheinen vaikuttamisen opas, ja sen ansiosta sinut kruunataan diktaattoriksi vielä ensi vuoden aikana.Diktaattorin käsikirja lähestyy vaikuttamista pahkasikamaisen ironisesti. Se antaa satiirisesti ohjeita diktaattorille, ja tavoitteena on havahduttaa lukija siihen, kuinka häneen yritetään vaikuttaa.Kirjassa käsitellään – diktaattorin näkökulmasta – retoriikka, psykologiset mekanismit, viestintäkanavat ja muut vaikuttamisen keinot ja edellytykset. Ohjekirja on kirjoitettu sillä tapaa neutraalisti, että siitä voi hyötyä minkä tahansa puolueen ja ideologian edustaja. Diktatuurissa on kyse kuitenkin lopulta siitä, että SINÄ olet maailman napa. Olli-Pekka Vainio on teologian tohtori ja työskennellyt Suomen Akatemian huippuyksikön tutkijana sekä vierailevana tutkijana Oxfordissa ja Princetonissa. Hän on erikoistunut mielenfilosofiaan ja filosofian historiaan. Vapaa-aikanaan hän tukee kansannousuja eteläisellä pallonpuoliskolla.Katleena Kortesuo on bloggaaja, tietokirjailija ja kouluttaja, jonka erityisalaa ovat viestintä, sosiaalinen media ja vaikuttaminen. Katleena on ollut usean diktaattorin taustavaikuttajana, ja hänen syntilistansa on pitempi kuin Guggenheim-raportti.

Voiko kaikkivaltias Jumala luoda kiven, jota hän ei jaksa nostaa? Voiko tiede selittää kaiken, Jumalankin? Ovatko järki ja usko ikuisessa ristiriidassa keskenään? Jumalauskon suhteesta filosofiaan ja tieteeseen on keskusteltu läpi historian. Nykyaikaisen uskonnonfilosofian piirissä väitellään yhä vilkkaasti näistä kerta toisensa jälkeen esiin nousevista kysymyksistä. Johdatus uskonnonfilosofiaan tarjoaa helposti lähestyttävän, yleistajuisen katsauksen näihin haastaviin teemoihin. Teos käsittelee filosofisia keskusteluja kristinuskosta ja antaa avaimia uskon, järjen ja tieteen välisten kysymysten analyysiin. Se esittelee sekä historiallista että viimeisintä kansainvälistä keskustelua tiiviissä ja selkeässä muodossa. Teos soveltuu johdannoksi ja käsikirjaksi kenelle tahansa uskonnosta ja filosofiasta kiinnostuneelle.
