Theology in Community - A Series from Crossway

The Crossway Blog:

Books You Should Know About
Editors Christopher Morgan and Robert Peterson recently released their second volume in Crossway’s Theology in Community Series called The Glory of God. Series contributors including Bryan Chapell, Andreas Kostenberger, Tremper Longman, Robert Yarbrough, John Frame, John Feinberg (and many more) tackle the subjects of suffering, the glory of God, the deity of Christ, the kingdom of God, and sin.
D. A. Carson says:
I do not know another series quite like Theology in Community. Each volume is grounded in both the Old and New Testaments, and then goes on to wrestle with the way the chosen theme has been developed in history, shaped the lives of men and women, and where it fits in the scheme of confessionally strong Christian theology. The volumes are characterized by rigor and reverence and, better yet, they remain accessible to all serious readers. If we are to pursue more than unintegrated biblical data, but what Paul calls “the pattern of sound teaching,” this is an excellent place to begin.
So what is theology in community?
Theology can often be abstracted from the church and the Bible. Theology in Community is theology for the church. The purpose of the series is not simply to tell readers what the Bible says, but to teach readers how to do systematic theology for themselves. Each volume will begin with foundational principles and move towards missiological application.
