Scripture in Doctrinal Dispute

"Young's work can hardly receive a more resounding recommendation for its breadth of treatment, probing analyses, and thought-provoking proposals. This is a work to be studied and pondered in every branch of theological studies." --Religious Studies Review Reviews in Religion & Theology "Scripture in Doctrinal Dispute is an interesting read; carefully argued, the result of a lifetime of study. For those who wish to delve into the background of how the doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation developed, it is an essential resource." "Scripture in Doctrinal Dispute is the culmination of Frances Young's illustrious scholarly career. Her book is animated by an ambitious vision, to overcome contemporary estrangements between doctrine and scripture. To this end, she offers us a learned investigation of the role of scripture in the Trinitarian and Christological disputes of the fourth and fifth centuries. Here readers will find new glimpses into the past and stirring challenges to the present." --Peter Martens, professor of early Christianity, Saint Louis University "Scripture in Doctrinal Dispute is, like the preceding volume, Scripture, the Genesis of Doctrine, energetic, learned, open, and clear, inviting the reader to join Frances Young in a thoughtful act of reasoned appreciation for the mind--and minds--of early Christianity. The culminating volume of her three most recent books, it completes her half-century journey from the historical-critical moment to the sagacious retrieval, in the present, of learning transmitted from disputation to devotion--and generously invites the reader to follow." --Robin Darling Young, ordinary professor of church history, The Catholic University of America
