Although the doctrine of eternal generation has been affirmed by
theologians of nearly every ecclesiastical tradition since the
fourth century, it has fallen on hard times among evangelical
theologians since the nineteenth century. The doctrine has been a
structural element in two larger doctrinal complexes: Christology
and the Trinity. The neglect of the doctrine of eternal
generation represents a great loss for constructive evangelical
Trinitarian theology.

Retrieving Eternal Generation addresses (1) the
hermeneutical logic and biblical bases of the doctrine of eternal
generation; (2) key historical figures and moments in the
development of the doctrine of eternal generation; and (3) the
broad dogmatic significance of the doctrine of eternal generation
for theology. The book addresses both the common modern
objections to the doctrine of eternal generation and presents the
productive import of the doctrine for twenty-first century
evangelical theology. Contributors include Michael Allen, Lewis
Ayres, D. A. Carson, Oliver Crisp, and more.
