    Origins and Development, 1920-1953

    New Explorations in Theology

    by Shao Kai Tseng
    Foreword by George Hunsinger

    Theologians have long assumed that Karl Barth's doctrine of election is supralapsarian.

    Challenging decades of scholarship, Shao Kai Tseng argues that despite Barth's stated favor of supralapsarianism, his mature lapsarian theology is complex and dialectical, critically reappropriating both supra- and infralapsarian patterns of thinking. Barth can be described as basically ...

    Being Human

    The Nature of Spiritual Experience

    by Ranald Macaulay and Jerram Barrs

    Who is right about what it means to be human? The Greeks envisioned an ideal humanity. Their ethereal sculptures depict a transcendent, spiritual model.
