ISBE on Genesis: Prof. Harrison has a beautiful paragraph on the disillusionment in the higher-critical circles about the imprecise dissectionisms. That air mattress with a slow leak is finally without air.

For Genesis 1: Prof. Keil is still setting up the overall trajectory to Genesis—noting God’s revelations in the OT by word and deed.

For Joshua 15, we get more geography.

For Isaiah 4.2-7, Prof. Henry dilated on the glorious future of Zion.

ISBE on Matthew: Dr. Hagner signs off on the 5-fold structure of Matthew.

For Mathew 3.13-17, Prof. Jamiesson indicates than only John the Baptist and Jesus saw the dove descending on Jesus.

For Romans, Prof. Hodge amplified on St. Paul’s background, again, writing with lucidity.

For Revelation 10.8-10, Prof. talks about the digestion of the book in John’s stomach, of the devastations to come.

For Systematic Theology, Prof. Hodge argued for the necessity of systematic theology. He is a model of clear-thinking and writing.

For Theology Proper, Prof. Reymond signs off reaffirming the revelational model over the fideists trusting in their evidences. And failing.  

For Soteriology, Prof. Berkhof discussed the assurance of faith in relation to saving faith.
