Theological Journals

Westminster Magazine (Spring 2022): offers faculty updates, variously, on speaking engagement, popular writings, and academic writings. WTS has gone global. Psalm 1 comes to mind. They are like the tree planted by the stream that bears fruit. This scribe knows of no similar institution in the USA for the ACNA. The TEC schools just aren’t worth it. WTS presses forward.

Modern Reformation (Jan/Feb 22), in “Luther’s Marginal Thoughts on Erasmus,” Dr. Purvis refers to some 200 scribblings of Luther in Erasmus’s text. The bottomline: Luther views Erasmus as a sceptic and mocker. At several points, Luther challenges Erasmus exegesis. Having said that, Luther used Erasmus’ NT Greek edition for his own German translation in 1522.

Westminster Theological Journal (Nov 2021, 275-297): in “Puritan New England the New Israel,” Dr. Richard Cogley continues to expound Berckovitch’s thesis.

Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021, 7-34): in “Verbal, Plenary Inspiration, and Bible Translation Method,” Mr. Josiah Walters is still choking on translation methods—literal v. expansive, citing Luther and the Preface to the 1611 Bible.

Anglican & Episcopal History (Sept 2014), in “Thomas Cole and the Episcopal Church,” Dr. J. Robert Wright describes the third of Cole’s paintings of the journey of life. He describes the difficulties of manhood and adulthood with a man on a boat in rough streams, the Guardian Angel protecting, the demons of temptation and suicide, and the journey downriver to the Ocean of Eternity.

Churchman (Winter 2018): in “How Jesus’s Cry from the Cross in Mark 15.34 Answered?”, Dr. Donald West is unfolding the 2-fold response to Jesus’s cry on the cross — (1) Is he calling on Elijah? Get him some vinegar and (2) the Roman soldier, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

Protestant Reformed Theological Journal 55,1 (Fall, 2021, pages 80-85): in “Calvin’s Only Letter to Luther,” Rev. Cory Greiss gives the unctuous letter in full, showing deference to Luther and asking about the Nicodemites. Luther is 26 years Calvin’s senior and the date of the letter is 1525. Calvin sent it to Luther via Melancthon. Was it passed to Luther?

Reformed Theological Journal (Sept 2021), in “Psalms and the Christian Life,” Dr. Scott Swain continues to describe the Anointed King who leads and walks along the path of life and truth to the Anointed Zion, God’s dwelling place.
