Synopsis

Offering not only state-of-the-art introductions from Biblical, historical, and constructive theologians, this volume also fosters an inter-disciplinary and cross-confessional conversation, reclaiming the idea of election as a central notion for any retelling of the biblical narrative. Contributions range from the spectrum of Jewish and Christian thinking, and include diverse discussion resources on topics such as post-Reformation dogmatics and liberation theology.

These essays explore the variety of ways in which election is spoken about in the Scripture, drawing on research from the last 20 years that offers a more sophisticated framework than the traditionally theological categories of "elect" and "reject". The contributions in this volume explores contemporary conversations that involve election, such as the debate about Barth’s doctrine of election and its relationship to an understanding of the Trinity, and voices in South American and Black liberation theology.
