Evening Prayer

For Psalm 20, Prof. Calvin comments on David’s affirmation that God alone established his dynasty by promise and His assured Word.

ISBE on the dating of Exodus: Prof. R. K. Harrison offer further commentary on the Egyptian-Hittite treaty between Ramses 2 and Hattisilis 3.

For Genesis 4.1-8: Prof. Keil notes that God is giving instruction to Cain about evil lurking at the door and the necessity of mastering himself and driving off the wolf at the door.

For Judges 1.27-35, Prof. Keil comments on the Angel of the LORD and the account in Joshua 5.

For Isaiah 8.1-8, Prof. Henry weighs in on the certitude and assurance of Isaiah’s predictive prophecy about Assyrian’s advances on Syria and Israel. But oh wait! There is no predictive prophecy in the OT or NT! God is a broken amputee in a wheelchair.

ISBE on Mark: Dr. R. P. Martin comments on eschatology.

For Mathew 5.43-48, Prof. Jamieson comments on the exhortation to be perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect.

For Romans 4.1ff., Prof. Hodge reaffirms that Abraham was justified not by works and, as such, has nothing of which to boast before God due to works. Quick, do the quick dial to the Curia!

For Revelation 19.1-4, Prof. Henry gloriously reveals the majesty and joy of heaven watching Babylon fall. But what about Process Theologians? And theological progressivism with the church as a host for the parasites of the social justice warriors? Revelation is marvelously re-orienting to eschatology.

EDT on the Theological Liberalism: tells one that Unitarianism soften up the ground for liberalism drifting into the USA. Perhaps, but the fundie-libboes drank the poisons while in Germany like Charles Briggs.

Westminster Theological Journal (Nov 2021) on “Theological Consequences of Q”: Dr. Dawson offers more on the Scandinavian school and oral traditions. We’re done with these hypothetical Q with its bodyguards and defenders. A hypothesis without a document. The Church has, had and repeatedly affirmed four Canonical Gospels.

Protestant Reformed Theological Journal 55,1 (Fall, 2021): 3-15, Rev. Key on “Freedom of the Spirit” comments ever-so gloriously on Romans 8.1-2. Put forward simply, it captures the glory of those verses.

Reformed Theological Journal (Sept 2021), Dr. Fesko on “What Lurks Behind Geerhardus Vos?” asks some glorious questions, to wit, the over-glorification of Vos by some moderns as “the greatest theologian since Vos.” Dr. Vos is confronting the “adjectival bodyguards that surround Vos.” This is going to fun. Dr. Fesko is one of America’s premier theologians warranting both ears to perk up.

In the Global Anglican, Mr. Meeson reviews Benjamin Noonan’s “Advances in the Study of Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic (Zondervan 2020), a volume for specialists and non-specialists that surveys advances Semitic scholarship. It’s billed as useful for specialists, but also seminary students and those in intermediate Hebrew studies. Well, that rules out all the Piskie seminaries in the USA.
