A Biblical Theology of Circumcision
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Karl Deenick
Series edited by D. A. CarsonGiven the foundational importance of circumcision in the Old Testament and its prevalence in numerous debates in the New Testament, it is surprising that so little detailed work has been done on establishing a biblical theology of circumcision.

PaperbackThe Message of the Song of Songs

PaperbackThe Journey of Modern Theology
From Reconstruction to Deconstruction
by Roger E. Olson
Modernity has been an age of revolutions—political, scientific, industrial and philosophical. Consequently, it has also been an age of revolutions in theology, as Christians attempt to make sense of their faith in light of the cultural upheavals around them, what Walter Lippman once called the "acids of modernity." Modern theology is the result of this struggle to think responsibly about God within ...
