Explores democracy with religious freedom and its dependence on theism.
Franklin I. Gamwell holds that democracy with religious freedom is dependent on metaphysical theism. Democratic politics can be neutral to all religious convictions only if its constitution establishes a full and free discourse about the ultimate terms of justice and their application to decisions of the state, and the divine good is the true ground of justice.

Deeply influenced by Saint Augustine, Nicholas mixes the metaphysical with the personal to create a deeply...

Rather, it is necessary to know...

Since the late 1970s complementarian theologians have been arguing that the divine three persons in the Trinity are ordered hierarchically, and that this is the ground for the hierarchical ordering of the sexes.

In scripture, Jesus promises a future that potentially infuses all texts: "my words will not pass away" (Matt 24:28). This book argues that texts-even literary texts-, have an eschatology, too, a part in God's purpose for the cosmos. They, with all creation, move toward participation in the new creation, in the Trinity's expanding, creative love. This eschatological future for texts, impacts how we understand meaning making, from the level of semiology...
