Seeing the Trinity in ScriptureChristians affirm and worship a triune God. But how should this affect our reading of the Bible? In The Trinity and the Bible, Scott R. Swain asserts that not only does the Bible reveal the Trinity, but the Trinity illuminates our reading of the Bible. Swain considers proper interpretive method and applies a Trinitarian framework to three exegetical studies. Explorations of three genres of New Testament literature display the profits of theological interpretation: Mark 12:35-37 Galatians 4:4-7 Revelation 4-5A final chapter provides seven axioms for trinitian interpretation of the Bible. Through loving attention to the Scriptures, one can understand and marvel at the singular identity and activity of the triune God.

Presents theology of biblical interpretation, treating both topics in light of their relationship to the triune God and the economy of redemption. This title treats the role of the Word in the saving economy of the triune God, the role and status of Scripture as the Word of God, and the nature of biblical reading as a covenantal enterprise.

Can Christians and churches be both catholic and Reformed? In this volume, two accomplished young theologians argue that to be Reformed means to go deeper into true catholicity rather than away from it. Their manifesto for a catholic and Reformed approach to dogmatics seeks theological renewal through retrieval of the rich resources of the historic Christian tradition. The book provides a survey of recent approaches toward theological retrieval and offers a renewed exploration of the doctrine of sola scriptura. It includes a substantive afterword by J. Todd Billings.
