Notice board: theology

by
04 May 2018

AN ANTHOLOGY of work, some previously unpublished, from the writings of Marcus Borg, Days of Awe and Wonder, has an underlying theme of what it means to be a Christian in the 21st century (SPCK, £14.99 (£13.50); 978-0-281-07825-7).

John Peckham’s Canonical Theology: The biblical canon, sola scriptura and theological method looks at the divide between the intrinsic-canon view of authority and the communitarian approach, the place of tradition and reason, and how to do theology from a canonical per­spective (Wm B. Eerdmans, £26.99 (£24.30); 978-0-8028-7330-9).

Peter Slotterdijk engages with the work of a German philosopher from the 20th century in Not Saved: Essays after Heidegger. The translation is by Ian Alexander Moore and Christopher Turner (Polity Press, £17.99 (£16.20); 978-0-7456-9699-7).

The logic of incarnation in Merleau-Ponty’s metaphysics of the flesh is the subtitle and theme of Orion Edgar’s book Things Seen and Unseen, on the philosopher’s ontology and its roots (James Clarke & Co., £22.75; 978-0-22717-594-1).

I Believe: The promise of the Creed systematises Pope Francis’s teaching on the Apostles’ Creed (trans. Robert Krieg) (Orbis/Alban, £14.99 (£13.50); 978-1-62698-188-1).

Andy Bannister seeks to counter argu­ments made by unbelievers in The Atheist Who Didn’t Exist: Or: The dreadful consequences of bad arguments (Monarch, £8.99 (£8.20); 978-0-85721-610-6).
