Theological Journals

Calvin Theological Journal (Spring 2022): in “Permaculture for Ecotheology: An Innovative Experiment,” Troy Bierma makes his frosty and icy beginning. Where, pray tell, is this going? Westminster Magazine (Spring 2022): in “I Will Build My Church: Faculty Interview:” Dr. Jonathan Gibson comments on the need of each generation to reaffirm its faith, not assume it. If assumed, the next generation may abandon it. Modern Reformation (Jan/Feb 22), in “Rethinking How We Think about the Evangelical Mind and the Local Church,” Dr. Charles Cotherman begins the questioning bringing in Noll and K. A. Smith. Westminster Theological Journal (Nov 2021, 275-297): in “Puritan New England the New Israel,” Dr. Richard Cogley does the wrap. Berkovitch got out too far over his skis. Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021, 7-34): in “Still No Peeking: Karl Barth’s Conflict with Federal Theology,” Dr. Beach is not performing the task well here. What’s the thesis? That Barth view federal theologians as reading the Bible “historicistically?” If so, get on with explicating it. Anglican & Episcopal History (Sept 2014), in “Thomas Cole and the Episcopal Church,” Dr. J. Robert Wright gives more poetry from Cole that was to accompany his paintings, “The Voyage.” Protestant Reformed Theological Journal 55,1 (Fall, 2021): Book Review: Wayne Grudem’s “What the Bible Says about Divorce and Remarriage:” Dr. David Englesma makes his start on Grudem: straight to the wood-chipper. Reformed Theological Journal (Sept 2020), in “Theological Education as Learning to Die,” Dr. Michael Allen reiterates the Benedictine rule to “keep death before one’s eyes” since discipleship including living and dying well. Southwestern Theological Journal (Fall 2021), in “Reading the Torah as the Law of Faith,” Dr. Craig Keener makes the preliminary foray on Paul’s varied uses of “law.” A complex issue in Pauline studies. The Biblical Repertory/Princeton Review (Volume 9, Issue 1, 1837, pages 29ff.). James Waddel Archibald reviews Paul Henry’s “The Life of John Calvin, the Great Reformer” (Vol. 1, 1835). Rev. Archibald comments further on other letters dispelling, deconstructing, and dismantling the utter myth that Calvin was cold, stern and imperial. Objective achieved with substantive ease. Concordia Theological Journal (Winter 2020), in “Confession of a Lutheran University,” Dr. David Loy ends the article as he started: humble Lutheran Confessions are necessary for the public and the churches. Princeton Theological Review (Vol.22, No.1, Spring 2019), in in “God’s Simple Knowledge and Disagreement,” Eric Tuttle, 3rd year MDiv student and postulant to the TEC, is still prattling on about God’s incomprehensibility as a framework for conflict resolution. We can all retreat behind Tuttle's facade of ignorance. Without this, conflicts become coercive and violent, as the laddie coercively, aggressively, and violently imposes his ( = her, itself) gender wars in the article. He’s going in reverse here with little aid to understanding Aquinas or Hegel. Paging Francis Turretin. Themelios (Dec 2021): in “Navigating Empathy,” Jonathan Worthington takes a few more steps in resolving the “empathy wars” by commenting on “cognitive and affective empathy.”
