Introduction To The Volume

STR. Editor

It remains a regular delight to share with our readership significant works that impact the intellectual and practical life of the Church and then engage them with charity and rigor. Previous volumes of STR have interacted with diverse scholarship that reflects our interests in missiology, theology, apologetics, and biblical studies, among them: Michael Goheen, A Light to the Nations: The Missional Church and the Biblical Story (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2011); Michael Licona, The Resurrection of Jesus: A New Historiographical Approach (Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic, 2010); Scot McKnight, The King Jesus Gospel: The Original Good News Revisited (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011). With this background in place, it is understandable why STR has seen fit to interact with one of the foremost theologians of our day.

Dr. Kevin J. Vanhoozer’s Remythologizing Theology is the focus of the present volume. The impetus for publishing this set of essays came from our guest editor for this volume, Dr. Mark Bowald of Redeemer University College in Ontario, Canada. Dr. Bowald assembled an international team of scholars to assess and critique Remythologizing Theology for a recent meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society. When he contacted STR about publishing the papers from the meeting, we were intrigued at the prospect and excited about the possibilities. Shall we engage Dr. Vanhoozer on his most recent work of theology? Of course! The work, no doubt, needed to be done and disseminated to a wider reading audience than those who attended the ETS meeting. And so it is a pleasure to publish those papers in this volume. STR would like to thank Dr. Bowald for his hard work in organizing the meeting in the first place, contacting the contributors, and facilitating the transformation of oral presentations into a written format that is clear and accessible. We are grateful to have these penetrating essays in the pages of our journal.

This volume, it also needs to be said, is significant for another reason. This is the last volume in which we will have on display the talents of our current Book Review Editor, Dr. Michael Travers. Michael has served STR very well, and we are sad to see him go. However, he cannot go silently into the night, as we expect more reviews from him! I would like to offer a note of thanks to you Michael, for your excellent work.

Still, we are pleased to announce that Dr. Ant Greenham, a South African native who is Associate Professor of Missions and Islamic Studies at Southeastern Seminary, will step in as the Book Review Editor for STR. All correspondence for reviews should now be directed to him at [email protected]. We are happy to have Dr. Greenham on board and look forward to...
