The Biblical Cosmos: A Pilgrim's Guide to the Weird and Wonderful World of the Bible

<p>This book aims to uncover and explore the ideas of notable people in the story of Christian universalism from the time of the Reformation until the end of the nineteenth century. It is a story that is largely unknown in both the church and the academy, and the characters that populate it have for the most part passed into obscurity. With carefully located bore holes drilled to release the long-hidden theologies of key people and texts, the volume seeks to display and historically situate the roots, shapes, and diversity of Christian universalism. Here we discover a diverse and motley crew of mystics and scholars, social prophets and end-time sectarians, evangelicals and liberals, orthodox and heretics, Calvinists and Arminians, Puritans, Pietists, and a host of others. The story crisscrosses Continental Europe, Britain, and America, and its reverberations remain with us to this day.</p>

It brings first-rate theology and astute practical wisdom to the very heart of the church's life. And the second edition is even better than the first!"" --Jeremy Begbie, Duke Divinity School ""Robin Parry is a fine theologian who writes accessibly and engagingly. I hope this second edition will be very widely read. It has the capacity to enable the renewal of the life and worship of the church."" --John Inge, Bishop of Worcester, UK Praise for the First Edition: ""This is an extremely helpful book!"" --Matt Redman, songwriter and worship leader ""Robin Parry has given us a terrific resource with which we can see a clearer picture of the God we worship."" --Keith Getty, hymn writer ""Robin Parry calls us higher up and further in through this well-written, clear, and important book."" --Brian McLaren, pastor and author ""Not merely theologically profound, but lucid, accessible, and profoundly relevant."" --Alan J. Torrance, University of St. Andrews, UK ""This is a most important book."" --Graham Cray, Bishop of Maidstone, UK ""I found my own spirit was stirred by simply reading the excellent central chapters. . . . This is a book well worth reading and one I wholeheartedly recommend."" --Terry Virgo, New Frontiers, UK ""Bloody good!"" --Andrew G.

Worshipping Trinity, Second Edition

Wipf and Stock

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of the Bible. When we read Scripture we often imagine that the world inhabited by the Bible's characters was much the same as our own. We would be wrong. The biblical world is an ancient world with a flat earth that stands at the center of the cosmos, and with a vast ocean in the sky, chaos dragons, mystical mountains, demonic deserts, an underground zone for the dead, stars that are sentient beings, and, if you travel upwards and through the doors in the solid dome of the sky, God's heaven--the heart of the universe. This book takes readers on a guided tour of the biblical cosmos with the goal of opening up the Bible in its ancient world. It then goes further and seeks to show how this very ancient biblical way of seeing the world is still revelatory and can speak God's word afresh into our own modern worlds. ""A masterful exposition of the sacramental worldview of the Old Testament. . . . If you figure the Old Testament is simply incompatible with the Christian Platonism of the Christian tradition, you just may be startled by the insights of this book."" --Hans Boersma, J. I. Packer Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, BC, Canada ""Delightful. Robin Parry takes the reader on a fascinating tour of biblical cosmology and theology. If you want to enter the minds of the biblical writers, this book will guide you with wit and sound learning."" --Gordon Wenham, Professor emeritus of Old Testament, University of Gloucestershire, Trinity College Bristol, Bristol, UK ""Parry expertly guides us through the strange biblical world . . . and invites us to accept it as is, and to inhabit it, rather than conforming it to ours. In doing so, Parry opens up fresh ways of envisioning not only the biblical world, but Jesus, and our own Christian faith."" --Peter Enns, Professor of Biblical Studies, Eastern University, St. Davids, PA ""This book is a must-read for anyone serious about reading and making sense of the Bible today."" --Paula Gooder, Theologian in Residence, Bible Society, UK ""A fascinating survey of the cosmos as seen in holy Scripture and a helpful guide to how Christians can best understand that biblical cosmology today. Thorough, lively, and thought-provoking, I warmly recommend it."" --Michael Ward, author of Planet Narnia ""Roaaaaarrrr!!!!"" --Leviathan, mythical chaos monster ""This book is simply stellar! What a fabulously helpful way to introduce the significance of the OT cosmology for today!"" --Pleiades, open star cluster in the constellation of Taurus Robin A.

The story crisscrosses Continental Europe, Britain, and America, and its reverberations remain with us to this day. ""Parry (and Ramelli) are to be commended--or, really, praised--for having brought this project to completion with such scrupulous care and comprehensiveness. Taken in its totality, it is a work that reminds us how large and venerable the Christian universalist tradition is, how intellectually and spiritually rich, and how deeply biblically informed. This is an indispensable text."" --David Bentley Hart, Affiliate of the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study ""Robin Parry's work on universalism is well known and widely admired. In this volume, he tracks the doctrine in the work of a number of key thinkers from the Reformation to the nineteenth century. For those concerned to think carefully and thoroughly about this vital issue, his series of theological explorations will provide guidance on how the doctrine has developed and changed in modern thought, as well as theological grist for the conceptual mill. Along the way he corrects various misrepresentations that have grown up in the recent debates about universalism, and provides fascinating insight into some important but largely forgotten thinkers. Written in Parry's engaging style, this is a work that scholars and students of Christian eschatology will want to consult."" --Oliver Crisp, Professor of Analytic Theology, University of St. Andrews ""This theological history of universalism from the early modern to the modern period is scholarly, nuanced, careful, and encyclopedic in scope. Uncovering the quiet stream of universalism throughout the period, A Larger Hope? reminds the theological community of the varieties and forms of universalism that have always been present in theological reasoning."" --Tom Greggs, Marischal (1616) Chair and Head of Divinity, University of Aberdeen Robin A.
