The last decade saw the loss of some important British theologians - the Torrances (Thomas and James), Colin Gunton and Daniel Hardy. In the case of Dan Hardy, a new book is coming out in September from SCM: Attracted by God's Light: A Parting Theology edited by David Ford (his son-in-law) and Deborah Ford (his daughter) and Peter Ochs.
It is described as:
Daniel W. Hardy was one of the foremost ecclesial theologians of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in the English-speaking world. Attracted by God s Light is a theology of the Spirit and of the Eucharistic foundations of the Church. It is also the last testament of a great ecclesial theologian, and the editors present his theology in a manner that honours its character as testament. They situate his theology in the context of the last year of his life, which included a spiritual pilgrimage to the Holy Land and his conscious effort to dictate a brief theology as his parting words to the Church and the academy.The Revd Prof. Daniel W. Hardy was Van Mildert Professor of Theology at the University of Durham and Director of the Centre for Theological Inquiry at Princeton. He died in 2007.
