Theological Journals

Westminster Magazine (Spring 2022): in “Honor Everyone,” Dr. William Edgar offers half-insights and quick wraps on the command of Peter to “honor everyone.” Again, without being a doormat, without altering theology, without being offensive, and, yet, honoring others.

Modern Reformation (Jan/Feb 22), in “What Has Become of American Fundamentalism,” Dr. George Marsden continues to note the evolution of the term “fundamentalism” in the post-9/11 days as equivalent to Islamic fundamentalists. He even cites Alvin Platinga’s comment that fundamentalist means a “sum-va-bitch to the right of me and my enlightened friends.” Staunchly fundamentalist groups, e.g. Liberty University and Bob John University, have dropped the use of the term.

Westminster Theological Journal (Nov 2021, 275-297): in “Puritan New England the New Israel,” Dr. Richard Cogley continues to note Berkovitch’s generalization about the Puritans. Dr. Cogley notes that New England Puritans did NOT claim the title of New Israel exclusively, but allowed that for predecessors of other Reformation churches.

Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021, 7-34): in “Verbal, Plenary Inspiration, and Bible Translation Method,” Mr. Josiah Walters, an MA in linguistics, continues his feckless jeremiad—and it is that—about literal translational theory. Quite outrageously and defamatorily, he claims that Dr. Phil Ryken, President of Wheaton College, never knew Greek and Hebrew. Umm, son, Dr. Ryken is a WTS graduate where Greek and Hebrew is required. Outrageous. Dr. Ryken also received his DPhil from Oxford in historical theology. This article should have been scrubbed. Plus, it is whiny, page after page.

Anglican & Episcopal History (Sept 2014), in “Thomas Cole and the Episcopal Church,” Dr. J. Robert Wright notes Coles’s shift in painting from landscapes to allegory and ethics. A “high churchman” and Tracto-influenced Rector buries him.

Churchman (Winter 2018): in “The Role of Holiness in 1 Corinthians,” Alan Baird, an MDiv student at Ridley Online, draws his article to a conclusion on holiness in the hot town of Corinth known for its famed visitors, known as a critical passage from eastern Italy to Athen, and known for its pride and immorality.
