Welcome to my website!
Because I increasingly receive requests for access to my earlier publications, and because reading and research habits have changed so dramatically over the past few years, I will now be uploading some of my out-of-print books and earlier essays to this website.
The following topics have been particularly important for my work:
A. Key theological themes
- The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit (pneumatology)
Focal points include God’s Spirit in the biblical traditions; God’s Spirit and the human spirit; the Spirit and freedom; the Spirit and love
- Christology
Focal points include the resurrection; the theology of the cross; what is known as the doctrine of two natures; the historical Jesus; Spirit Christology
- The Doctrine of Creation.
Focal points include anthropology (the doctrine of human beings); the dialogue between theology the natural sciences
- The Doctrine of the Church (Ecclesiology)
Focal points include the Eucharist; social ministry (diacony); public theology; critique of religion and culture
- Law and Gospel
Focal points include God’s justice and human justice; justice and mercy; theories of (communal, cultural, collective, canonical) memory; the dialogue between theology and the legal sciences
- Eschatology (what was earlier called the “doctrine of the last things”)
Focal points include God’s reign and Christ’s reign; the theology of hope (Moltmann); resurrection
