Overview

An important collection, including many hitherto unpublished studies.

Professor Colin Gunton discusses for example the nature of dogma and Christian knowledge claims; holiness and virtue; salvation according to Calvin and the doctrine of election; and freedom in the gospel.

Mature reflections on some of the central questions in theology, this book will be essential reading for all scholars and students of systematic theology and Christian doctrine - and of modern theology in general.
