What does it really mean, to know God? What are the grounds for knowing God, what feeds that knowledge, and what is really known? In his search for answers to these questions, in two panels the author paints for us a clear picture of what Calvin and Barth had to say about knowing God: Calvin against the background of pre-modern culture, Barth in response to a post-Kantian culture inclined to agnosticism. Between them, like a hinge between the two panels, we find the philosophy of Kant. The two epochal theological figures are placed next to each other, but without this being at the expense of the power of either. The study does not stop with detached historical analysis, but nourishes the author's own reflection toward a systematic design.

The work of the Spirit of God is a vibrant and much discussed topic in many contemporary Christian communities worldwide. Apparently, the Spirit is moving. Theological reflection on this phenomenon has even given rise to what is often called a ‘pneumatological renaissance’. This volume not only takes stock of these remarkable developments, but also probes some of their hidden aspects and highlights avenues for future exploration. It contains a wide-ranging but coherent assortment of essays, covering the five relations of the Holy Ghost distinguished already in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed: how does the Spirit of God relate to the Bible, to the Christ, to the human person, to the church and to the world? These essays are written as a tribute to the many inspiring theological contributions of prof. Cornelis van der Kooi on the occasion of his retirement as Professor of Systematic Theology at the Faculty of Religion and Theology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where he taught from 1992 until 2018. Contributors are: Henk A. Bakker, Abraham van de Beek, Erik A. de Boer, Carl J. Bosma, Gijsbert van den Brink, Martien E. Brinkman, Gerard C. den Hertog, Arnold Huijgen, Gerrit C. van de Kamp, Miranda Klaver, Akke van der Kooi, Margriet van der Kooi-Dijkstra, Bruce L. McCormack, Richard J. Mouw, Bert Jan Lietaert Peerbolte, Eveline van Staalduine-Sulman, Eep Talstra, Benno van den Toren, Jan Veenhof, Willem van Vlastuin, Pieter Vos, Michael Welker, Cory Willson, Maarten Wisse.

"This work details the theological sources and moral significance of the life and work of the Scottish moral philosopher Adam Smith (1723-1790). The panel of contributors deepen our understanding of Adam Smith in his religious and theological context and the significance of this understanding for contemporary moral, economic, and political challenges to modern social life. The chapters cover a broad range of disciplinary and historical concerns, from Smith's view of providence and his famous "invisible hand" to the role of self-interest and benevolence in Smith's social and economic thought. A better appreciation for the moral and theological dimensions of Smith's thought provides not only a better understanding of Smith's own context and significance in the Scottish Enlightenment, but also promises to assist in meeting the perennial challenges of properly connecting economic realities to moral responsibility. The book is of interest to advanced students and scholars of the history of economic thought, historical and moral theology, intellectual history, political science and philosophy"--

Oek de Jong is de schrijver van een klein maar hoogwaardig oeuvre, waaronder de succesvolle romans Opwaaiende zomerjurken, Cirkel in het gras, Hokwerda's kind en Pier en Oceaan. Hokwerda's kind en Pier en Oceaan werden genomineerd voor de Librisprijs en voor de Gouden Boekenuil. Voor Pier en Oceaan kreeg hij die laatste prijs toegekend. 'Ik verlang van een roman dat hij door zijn verhaal en door de kracht van zijn vormgeving, door wat hij is, terugleidt naar iets dat, tja, moeilijk te benoemen is en dat ik maar een naaktheid noem, een echtheid', zei Oek de Jong ooit over de roman. Dit boek is gewijd aan een levensbeschouwelijke lectuur van zijn werk, waarbij literaire, filosofische en religieuze aspecten aan de orde komen. Natuurlijk komt de schrijver zelf aan het woord. Verder zijn er essays van NRC-redacteuren en neerlandici Elsbeth Etty en Marjoleine de Vos, neerlandici Jaap Goedegebuure en Wilbert Smulders, literatuurwetenschappers Henk Hillenaar en Tjerk de Reus, theologen Inigo Bocken, Johan Goud en Kees van der Kooi, en filosofen Marc De Kesel, Renée van Riessen en Jacques De Visscher.
