Theological Journals

Calvin Theological Journal (Spring 2022): in “Permaculture for Ecotheology: An Innovative Experiment,” Troy Bierma blabs on without any significance for theology. He may think he is by doing science, but this is better placed in a science journal. Westminster Magazine (Spring 2022): “Tributes to Dr. Richard Gaffin,” Dr. Edgars continues his happy memories of Dick Gaffin from the 1960s. Modern Reformation (Jan/Feb 22), in “Fundamentals for the Evangelical Future,” Dr. Daniel Treier notes that creeds and confessions are essential for our times. Westminster Theological Journal (Nov 2021, 317-36): in “William Perkin’s Doctrines of Faith and Assurance Through the Lens of Modern Faculty Psychology,” Matthew Payne continues to expound on least-faith-to-mature-faith in Perkins’s soteriology. Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021, 7-34): in “Still No Peeking: Karl Barth’s Conflict with Federal Theology,” Dr. Beach notes Barth’s attempted victory by piling on impossible question after impossible question, thinking he’s conquered by asking the questions when he is stuck in the mud. Anglican & Episcopal History (Sept 2014): CHURCH REVIEW: (Romanist) Basilica of Santa Fe. The exposition on this-and-that from the Mass is continued. The church seats 1600, has 5 Masses each Sabbath, and has about 2000 attend. Global Anglican (Spring 2022), in “Preparing People for the Hardest Job of All,” Dr. Peter Jensen finishes his editorial seeking premier education by asking the hard questions continually: Why? How? When? By whom? For whom? Protestant Reformed Theological Journal 55,1 (Fall, 2021): in “The Neo-Kuyperian Theology of Glory and Reformed Higher Education,” Brendan Looyeng expounds Kuyper classic theology but comments on the imbalance of Neo-Kuyperians losing the antithesis (unlike Kuyper) and inclining to social and cultural issues. Reformed Theological Journal (Sept 2020), in “We Still Have Faces,” Dr. Glodo has done extremely well in this accessible and sensible article. God smiles on us with His glorious face. Southwestern Theological Journal (Fall 2021), in “Reading the Torah as the Law of Faith,” Dr. Craig Keener continues to apply OT laws, or contextualizing OT laws, to our time. The Biblical Repertory/Princeton Review (Volume 9, Issue 1, 1837, pages 29ff.). James Waddel Archibald reviews “A Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament, including the Biblical Chaldee. Translated from the Latin of William Gesenius, Doct. and Prof. of Theology in the University of Halle-Wittemberg. By Edward Robinson, D. D. late Prof. of Sae. Lit. in the Theol. Sem. Andover. Boston. 1836. pp. 1082. & vo. Rev. Alexander gets inside internal debates in Germany: Gesenius, Hitzig, Ewald, Hengstenberg, etc. Quite the back-channeling that is otherwise unbeknownst to most of us with Hebrew backgrounds. There were contentious and envies in the German orbit. How novel is that, bro? Princeton Theological Review (Vol.22, No.1, Spring 2019), ), in “An Oppressed People in a Groaning Creation: Toward an Eco-Public Theology of Undocumented Farmworkers,” PTS student, Emily Wilkes, gives us her anti-capitalism screed with over-statements uninformed by substantive historical context. Nicely written, but no theology worthy of the name. A real downer. Themelios (Dec 2021): in “Navigating Empathy,” Jonathan Worthington is lost in the woods again on his definitions and counter-definitions of empathy. This is a nothing-burger.
