Craig A. Carter

C MO ES EL DIOS QUE ADORAMOS? Craig Carter presenta los fundamentos b blicos y teol gicos del te smo trinitario cl sico. Carter, un destacado te logo cristiano conocido por sus provocadoras defensas de los planteamientos cl sicos de la doctrina, critica la reciente tendencia a modificar o rechazar el te smo cl sico en favor de las modernas concepciones relacionales de Dios. El libro incluye una breve historia de la teolog a trinitaria desde sus or genes patr sticos hasta la poca moderna, y un ap ndice final ofrece un breve resumen de la teolog a trinitaria cl sica. Se trata de uno de los libros m s importantes sobre te smo trinitario cl sico publicados en los ltimos tiempos. "Lejos de poner a Dios en una cajita ordenada, la doctrina ortodoxa de Dios destroza nuestras tendencias idol tricas y nos alerta contemplativamente hacia un camino mejor que se encuentra en la Sagrada Escritura. Frente a las mitolog as del estudio cient fico moderno (incluso en sus formas supuestamente evang licas), Carter dirige nuestra mirada hacia arriba hacia los misterios de la fe, hacia el exterior para aprender de la comuni n de los santos, y hacia delante para la llamada a la ex gesis de la Palabra de Dios que nunca termina". Michael Allen "Durante d cadas los evang licos han absorbido el te smo relacional y han asumido que es consistente con el testimonio b blico. Craig Carter expone esta suposici n defectuosa, revelando la radical inconsistencia del trinitarismo social con la propia presentaci n de las Escrituras del Dios trino." Matthew Barrett "Tenemos mucho que aprender de la maravillosa descripci n y celebraci n de Carter de los m ritos b blicos y teol gicos del te smo trinitario cl sico. Carter escribe con elocuencia y humildad, conduciendo al lector hacia una sorprendente profundidad de la confesi n de la iglesia universal del Se or trascendente y soberano. Pocos libros le llevan a uno a adorar tan abiertamente como el de Carter, llam ndonos a abandonar los retratos relacionales superficiales de Dios en favor de deleitarnos en la extraordinaria grandeza de Dios".

Southwestern Journal of Theology 2021 Book Award (Theological Studies)2021 Book Award, The Gospel Coalition (Honorable Mention, Academic Theology)Following his well-received Interpreting Scripture with the Great Tradition, Craig Carter presents the biblical and theological foundations of trinitarian classical theism. Carter, a leading Christian theologian known for his provocative defenses of classical approaches to doctrine, critiques the recent trend toward modifying or rejecting classical theism in favor of modern "relational" understandings of God. The book includes a short history of trinitarian theology from its patristic origins to the modern period, and a concluding appendix provides a brief summary of classical trinitarian theology. Foreword by Carl R. Trueman.

The rise of modernity, especially the European Enlightenment and its aftermath, has negatively impacted the way we understand the nature and interpretation of Christian Scripture. In this introduction to biblical interpretation, Craig Carter evaluates the problems of post-Enlightenment hermeneutics and offers an alternative approach: exegesis in harmony with the Great Tradition. Carter argues for the validity of patristic christological exegesis, showing that we must recover the Nicene theological tradition as the context for contemporary exegesis, and seeks to root both the nature and interpretation of Scripture firmly in trinitarian orthodoxy.

This practical book introduces the reader to the basics of the Christian faith through an explanation of the Westney Catechism. It grounds Christians in the essentials of the faith, examining the Great Commandment, the Apostles' Creed, the Ten Commandments, baptism, the Lord's Supper, the Lord's Prayer and the Great Commission. This is a useful book for small group studies, Christian schools, Sunday School, family devotions or simply as an introduction to the foundational doctrines of Christianity. "Since the earliest days of the church, catechizing has been one of the primary means Christians have used to learn the truth they love. The most useful catechisms don't just provide questions and answers--they also explain the answers. The Faith Once Delivered... is] an accessible, practical resource." Donald S. Whitney, author of Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, Praying the Bible and Family Worship "Here is a faithful exposition of the Apostles' Creed, presented in a catechism format, that is thoroughly biblical, theologically accurate and yet practically relevant. You will do well to explore the truths contained in these pages, internalize them into your daily life and pass them down to the next generation." Steven J. Lawson, president, OnePassion Ministries, Dallas, Texas, USA "This is a wonderful book to help the church equip new believers and those wanting to grow in their understanding of basic Christianity. ...an evangelical catechism that is both robust theologically and centred on the gospel. I would highly recommend this excellent tool to church leaders." Rick Buck, lead pastor, Emmanuel Barrie, Barrie, Ontario

In 1951, theologian H. Richard Niebuhr published Christ and Culture, a hugely influential book that set the agenda for the church and cultural engagement for the next several decades. But Niebuhr's model was devised in and for a predominantly Christian cultural setting. How do we best understand the church and its writers in a world that is less and less Christian? Craig Carter critiques Niebuhr's still pervasive models and proposes a typology better suited to mission after Christendom.
