"Robert Hand's book of sermons and addresses, Since You Have Been Raised, is timely-not only for the congregations who heard them originally but also for those of us who read them now. His thoughtful work with the biblical text teaches and encourages readers with creative and at times whimsical insight and depth. These brief but powerful chapters will instruct readers and inspire them to live as those who have been raised by the power of Christ." -Scott M. Gibson, David E. Garland Chair of Preaching, Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University 
"With gentle pastoral skill, Robert Hand's sermons and addresses lead us up to Christ. He is the one in whom our lives are anchored. He is also the one of whom the Scriptures speak throughout. Drawing upon ancient as well as contemporary theological forebears, Hand offers a catholic vision of how we can be the church of Christ today. Since You Have Been Raised grounds us firmly in the Scriptures and teaches us to be faithful disciples in uncertain times." -Hans Boersma, Saint Benedict Servants of Christ Chair in Ascetical Theology, Nashotah House 
"This is an excellent volume with a far bigger impact than its size. Robert pays close, thoughtful, careful, and faithful attention to the biblical text, listens to the voice of God, and hears the Spirit's inspiration in the apostles. Robert is attentive to how language works and draws on the wisdom of our early church theologians. He listens with a pastor's heart and focuses our attention on the things that matter. Robert says he is a layperson, but he is a pastor to me, and he will be to you as you read Since You Have Been Raised." -Douglas D. Webster, Professor of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University

It is widely recognized that Immanuel Kant was one of Karl Barth’s most important intellectual influences, but how and to what extent this is the case remains an open question. In Presupposing God, Robert Hand demonstrates a deep consistency between Kant’s and Barth’s theological epistemologies, with this issue in mind. After arguing for a number of positive emphases in Kant’s critical philosophy and religious epistemology in conversation with modern Kant scholarship, Presupposing God demonstrates how these emphases were obscured in Kant’s reception in the decades between Kant and Barth, and then explores the intellectual conditions under which Barth first encountered Kant. The argument proceeds to show how Barth wrestled with these varying interpretations and continued to utilize Kant with increased sophistication as his thought developed across the Romans commentaries, Anselm, and the Church Dogmatics. Presupposing God suggests that Kant can be an asset to theology, rather than the liability he is often taken to be, and that Barth is one of the better available examples of this in practice.
