Studies in Christian Doctrine and Script The Fire of Glory: A Biblical and Dogmatic Account of God's Holiness and Divine Judgment, (Paperback)

<p><b>In <i>The Fire of Glory</i>, Derek Rishmawy develops a comprehensive historical, biblical, and dogmatic treatment of God's holiness in the Old Testament and the ministry of Jesus. </b></p><p>Rishmawy examines God's holiness as God's core principle of action in creation and throughout history, sanctifying himself through his unique acts of judgment, purification, and redemption. Further, confronting critics' perceived incongruence between God's seemingly violent actions in the Old Testament and the loving, self-giving ministry of Jesus in the Gospels, he offers an expansive doctrine of God's holiness as his unique, singular ontological and moral supremacy and dignity (including his power, presence, royal dominion, love, and jealousy)--the inner meaning of his glory.</p><p><b><i>The Fire of Glory </i>features</b></p><ul><li>A comprehensive survey of God's holiness throughout church history, from the Patristic era to modern period</li><li>A journey throughout Scripture, homing in on key texts in both the Old and the New Testaments</li><li>A nuanced examination of modern criticisms of God's character and the problem of "divine violence"</li><li>Engagement with current theological conversations around God's holiness</li></ul> <p>In both Old Testament history and the cross-shaped ministry of Christ, God sanctifies his holy Name in the same fiery glory. This book equips readers with a deeper, more nuanced understanding of God's character and actions throughout Scripture. <i>The Fire of Glory </i>is perfect for seminary courses in systematic or biblical theology and professors and pastors who want to teach from the entire canon of Scripture.</p><p><b>About the Series</b></p><p>Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture, edited by Daniel J. Treier and Kevin J. Vanhoozer, promotes evangelical contributions to systematic theology, seeking fresh understanding of Christian doctrine through creatively faithful engagement with Scripture in dialogue with church tradition.</p><p></p>
