- The
Meaning of History
|
- Nash
takes the great thinkers approach to review major philosophies
of history. The Christian view, which he argues is superior to
all others so far advanced, is represented primarily by
Augustine. In his revisionist account of Hegel, he holds
(citing detailed studies by others) that Hegel never held the
thesis-antithesis-synthesis scheme attributed to Hegel by
Marx. There are a few lapses in Nash's research. He accepts
the steriotypical view of the deists, namely that they held to
a remote, detached deity, despite the fact that no such
position can be found in their writings. This easy to read
book would make a good text for high-school level home
schools.

- The Rise of Moralism: The Proclamation of the Gospel from Hooker to Baxter
|
-
"The question of the formal cause of justification ... is central to an understanding of seventeenth-century soteriology. .. From the new school of thought, which might be called the new moralism, has issued the characteristically modern notion that deliberate sin is inveriably more pernicious than sin founded in ignorance or grounded in the unconscious. This grotesque distinction, which inevitably puts premiums on ignorance and suppression, was first formally propounded at the fifth and sixth sessions of the Council of Trent, and was taken up by the later Carolines and by post-Civil War Protestants. It has come to be the prevalent theology of the whole Christian Church in the West with consequences disastrous for the whole Christain community."
The Federal Vision theology today turns on many of the same issues. It, too, depends on a shift in the definition of the formal cause of justification, and it posits an ideal of "covenant faithfulness" that depends on the distinction in seriousness between deliberate and other sin.

|
- Justification and the New Perspectives on Paul: A Review and Response
|
- Waters studies the history of liberal, or critical, Pauline theology from F.C. Baur in the 19th century to the New Perspectives theologians of today, giving special attention to N.T. Wright. He provides a critique of these views, and concludes with a chapter on "What's at Stake for Reformed Christianity?" in which he considers the relation of the NPP to the Federal Vision theology and the views of Norman Shepherd.
