This groundbreaking work presents the concepts of apostasy and perseverance in light of recent interpretative and intertextual methods. Oropeza argues that the Pauline letters include warnings to congregation members who are in danger of falling away, and Paul often considers these members to be authentic converts to the early Christian message. A prime example of this is presented in the apostle's use of the ExodusÐwilderness traditions in 1 Corinthians 10:1Ð13. In an effort to persuade congregation members against apostasy, Paul echoes examples from the Hebrew Scriptures and Jewish traditions regarding Israel's divine election and punishments. The Corinthians are exhorted against conducting themselves in a manner that parallels the ancient Israelites who, after crossing the Red Sea, were rejected by God in the wilderness because they murmured and committed vices such as idolatry and sexual immorality. Paul cautions the Corinthians that if they commit such vices in their own spiritual journey, they will suffer divine judgment before the culmination of the eschaton. These warnings are located within larger rhetorical arguments related to the problems of meat sacrificed to idols, congregational factions, and misperceptions about the end times. Oropeza also interprets passages on apostasy and perseverance in Paul's other letters, and he interacts with theological perspectives associated with the perseverance of the saints, including Calvinist and Arminian traditions. His work provides a fresh alternative to this theological controversy.

Rousseau attacks the social and political effects of the dominant forms of scientific knowledge.

A number of these texts have never before been available in English. The First Discourse and Polemics demonstrate the continued relevance of Rousseau's thought.

Jonathan Edwards: A Reformed Arminian Engagement provides a fresh perspective on the theology of one of the most influential thinkers in American Christianity. Famous—or perhaps infamous—for his image of “Sinners in the hands of an angry God,” Jonathan Edwards is closely associated with Calvinist thought. However, this book brings together a collection of essays that reconsiders his theology from the vantage point of Reformed Arminianism. Through a critical engagement with Edwards' thought, the authors of this book offer alternative expressions of fidelity to the early Reformed confessions without the deterministic metaphysics associated with Calvinism. This approach provides a unique opportunity for constructive theological dialogue among Calvinists, Arminians, and other varieties of non-Calvinists. By exploring Edwards' theology from a Reformed Arminian perspective, readers are invited to think more deeply about the hard lines drawn between confessional traditions and traditional theological systems that too often characterize the Calvinist-Arminian debate. This book challenges readers to consider the ways in which different theological perspectives can enrich their understanding of faith and deepen their engagement with Christians of other confessions. Written with clarity and insight, Jonathan Edwards: A Reformed Arminian Engagement is an essential resource for anyone seeking to engage with the thought of this influential figure in American Christianity.
