Biblical Interpretation and Doctrinal Formulation in the Reformed Tradition: Essays in Honor of James De Jong

by Arie C. Leder (Editor), Richard A. Muller (Editor)

Overview

The Reformed tradition is characterized by a rigorous commitment to theological formulation, yet it is equally known for its commitment to rooting its life and practice in the authority of God's Word. While these two commitments are commonly acknowledged, the path from biblical interpretation to doctrinal formulation is often overlooked. Examining a diverse group of thinkers across the chronological and international spectrum of the Reformed tradition, this book demonstrates the depth and intricacies involved in the tasks of exegesis and dogmatic construction, the ways they intersect, and the effect it has on the church.

Editorial Reviews

This Festschrift is a great exception to the rule that such volumes are often of little interest to any but the one being honored. On the contrary, here is a collection of scholarly essays with a clear focus that actually makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the ways in which theologians have connected exegesis and doctrinal formulation.
