The doctrine of the Trinity stands front and center of the Christian faith and its articulation. After a sustained drought of trinitarian engagement, the doctrine of the Trinity has increasingly resurged to the forefront of Evangelical confession. The second half of the twentieth century, however, saw a different kind of trinitarian theology developing, giving way to what has commonly been referred to as the “social Trinity.”
Social―or better, relational―trinitarianism has garnered a steady reaction from those holding to a classical doctrine of the Trinity, prompting a more careful and thorough re-reading of sources and bringing about not only a much more coherent view of early trinitarian development but also a strong critique of relational trinitarian offerings. Yet confusion remains. As Evangelicals get better at articulating the doctrine of the Trinity, and as the current and next generation of believers in various Christian traditions seek to be more trinitarian, the way forward for trinitarian theology has to choose between the relational and classical model, both being legitimate options.
In this volume, leading contributors―one evangelical and one mainline/catholic representing each view―establish their models and approaches to the doctrine of the Trinity, each highlighting the strengths of his view in order to argue how it best reflects the orthodox perspective. In order to facilitate a genuine debate and to make sure that the key issues are teased out, each contributor addresses the same questions regarding their trinitarian methodology, doctrine, and its implications.
Contributors include: Stephen R. Holmes; Paul D. Molnar; Thomas H. McCall; and Paul S. Fiddes.

Baptist Theology (Doing Theology)

This book considers the distinctive ideas and expressions of Christian faith to be found in the historic Baptist churches. An outline of the history of the Baptist movement will be offered, from its British beginnings in Amsterdam in 1609, through its varied developments in Britain, Europe and North America, to its worldwide presence and diversity today, and its relationship to many other churches with apparently-similar practices (Pentecostal and 'new' churches, e.g.). Holmes draws the various threads together, noting the real diversities in the history of Baptist theology, but suggesting that in a vision of the present and urgent Lordship of Christ experienced in the local congregation, there is a thread that links most of these distinctives.

God of Grace & God of Glory: An Account Of The Theology Of Jonathan Edwards

John Calvin is one of the most significant thinkers in Christian history.  His name is still, 450 years after his death, attached to churches worldwide.  Yet there have been remarkably few authoritative and accessible accounts of his thought.    This book fills an important gap in present literature, presenting the first scholarly study of Calvin's theology for nearly thirty years.  Bringing together the fruits of recent scholarship which has explored Calvin's intellectual context, this book offers a new reading of how Calvin set about the theological task and what he had to say.  Attention is paid to Calvin's location in intellectual history, and to his reading; to his use of the Bible; to his theological method; and to his influence on the later tradition.  At the heart of the work is a new summary of Calvin's theology, drawing out major themes and showing their inter-relations.

Jonathan Edwards is increasingly recognized as one of the church’s most interesting and significant theologians, yet synthesizing his thought has proven difficult. This new study by Stephen Holmes finds the key to the whole of Edwards’s theology in the concept of “glory.” 
Using as his starting point the thesis of a work Edwards left for publication when he died—that God’s fundamental decision that there should be something other than himself is based on a desire to promote the overflow of his own glory—Holmes shows how Edwards’s use of “glory” clarifies his thought in such areas as creation, salvation, the church, and his notorious description of hell. 
Based on readings of all Edwards’s major works as well as important unpublished materials, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to Edwards for nonspecialists and makes an original contribution to Edwards scholarship.
