THE EDITORS WOULD LIKE TO THANK the other members of the Trinitarian Theology Consultation of the Evangelical Theological Society. Since first convening in 2012, the members of the steering committee have planned strategically and worked diligently to retrieve the doctrine of eternal generation and to commend it to the present generation. This set of essays is the direct result of that planning and work. That steering committee consisted of the editors, along with Jeff Bingham, Keith E. Johnson, Josh Malone, and Ben Rhodes. It was Malone and Rhodes who pulled the consultation together in the first place, had many of the key ideas, did most of the work, and kept the project moving toward the goal of publication. Most of the chapters in this volume began as papers presented at the Consultation during the years devoted to the doctrine of eternal generation. We would also like to thank Oliver Crisp, Dan Treier, and Michel Barnes for presenting papers in that Consultation that were important in shaping our scholarly dialogue. Two of the chapters in this volume (those by Emerson and Irons) were presented at the Far West Region of the Evangelical Theological Society in 2014, in response to a call for papers on the Trinity and the Bible. The final two chapters, by Makin and Pierce, were solicited specifically for this volume.
