Reformed Humanism

A sane and steady theological resource to keep to hand and to consult ... Fergusson has something enlightening to say about many a tricky topic. * Church Times * In these essays David Fergusson’s distinctive range of intellectual and theological virtues are amply on display: breadth of scholarship combined with finely tuned judgement; crisp and unpretentious writing, clarity of analysis and generosity of spirit. It is a magisterial and understated volume, strongly recommended. * Karen Kilby, University of Durham, UK * Wise, well-read, honest, alert to paradox, intent on preserving the connections between church and academy—this is Reformed theology to treasure! * Amy Plantinga Pauw, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, USA * With systematic clarity and historical depth, in critical alertness to philosophical insight and commitment to devotion and service, Fergusson’s essays on doctrine, philosophy, and the church embody an ethos that is as Reformed as it is humanist. Lucid in exposition, thoughtful in deliberation, serious yet circumspect in appraisal, these studies are as instructive as they are approachable. They will inform and delight novices and experts alike. * Hanna Reichel, Princeton Theological Seminary, USA * This volume brings together a range of characteristically informed and insightful essays by David Fergusson. Drawing on years of experience and reflection, the contributions offer judicious soundings across the terrain of theology and philosophy, drawing together not only the spheres of faith and reason, but also of church and world. There are few theologians possessing such erudition and wisdom, and this collection will both merit and repay careful study. * Paul Nimmo, University of Aberdeen, UK *
