About A Book Of Faith Seeking Understanding: Fifty-Two
Product Description Far too often, the God of the philosophers, those who for the most part had no appointment at a university, are the primary sources relied upon by many authors nowadays in their approach to the problem of evil. These fifty-two Lord’s day or Sabbath day readings draw the reader into a dialogue with university professors of the late medieval era and sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The theme of these literary renditions of yesteryear’s debates and disputations is the perennial quest by theologians to exonerate God from the charge that he is the author of evil. The sophistication and complexity of their scholastic method and solutions to the problem of evil may surprise, but hopefully will persuade, modern day readers to rethink their own conclusion about the problem, and to take up and read university theologians who were formerly unknown, all in the spirit of Anselm’s faith seeking understanding. Review "Written with scholastic discernment, delightful to read, and deeply practical in its application--A Book of Faith Seeking Understanding will undoubtably be profitable to practitioners, pastors, and professors."--Adriaan C. Neele, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary"Classic Reformed theology presented a surprisingly balanced view on the relationship of divine and human agency. In a fascinating series of fifty-two dialogues, Fisk invites readers to travel back in time with him to early modern lecture halls and follow his interviews with notable theologians as they explain their sophisticated approaches to key issues. This volume is for anyone who wants to reflect on the wisdom of classic Reformed figures."--Andreas J. Beck, Evangelische Theologische Faculteit Leuven, Belgium About the Author Philip John Fisk is senior researcher and lecturer in historical theology at the Jonathan Edwards Center Benelux, headquartered at the Evangelische Theologische Faculteit Leuven, Belgium. He is the author of Jonathan Edwards's Turn from the Classic-Reformed Tradition of Freedom of the Will, in the series New Directions in Jonathan Edwards Studies 2 (2016).
