Theological Journals


Calvin Theological Journal (Spring 2022): in “Permaculture for Ecotheology: An Innovative Experiment,” Dr. Troy Bierma is virtue-signaling about virtue-signaling on the environment. Weird article. First time this old fella has heard of “ecotheology” per se. OK, we listen “empathetically” (see below) with cognitive and affective empathy. The Reformed hawks are circling the high grasses.

Westminster Magazine (Spring 2022): in “Rethinking How We Think about the Evangelical Mind and the Local Church,” Dr. Charles Cotherman states that the “evangelical church,” consisting of the cosmopolitan elites and the rural types, should think it terms of “rootedness” and “church history.”  Okay, noted.

Modern Reformation (Jan/Feb 22), in in “Rethinking How We Think about the Evangelical Mind and the Local Church,” Dr. Charles Cotherman

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 notes that some have found contradictions within Perkins on faith and assurance, but Payne promises to show coherence and consistency.

Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021, 7-34): in “Still No Peeking: Karl Barth’s Conflict with Federal Theology,” Dr. Beach notes that Barth wants no part of predestinarian theology.

Anglican & Episcopal History (Sept 2014), in “Thomas Cole and the Episcopal Church,” Dr. J. Robert Wright cites the attached poetry that goes with Cole’s paintings “The Voyage of Life.” This one involves youth and the ardor of it.

Churchman (Winter 2018): in “How Jesus’s Cry from the Cross in Mark 15.34 Answered?”, Dr. Donald West is long-talking at this point.

Protestant Reformed Theological Journal 55,1 (Fall, 2021): Book Review: Wayne Grudem’s “What the Bible Says about Divorce and Remarriage:” Dr. David Englesma allows on death as the ground for remarriage. Grudem has expanded the list to include all manner of dysfunctionalities in “Grudem’s Bible” but no other “Bible,” a line Prof. Englesma repeates.

Reformed Theological Journal (Sept 2020), in “Theological Education as Learning to Die,” Dr. Michael Allen in point 3 reiterates points 1-2. Discipleship including living and dying well.

Southwestern Theological Journal (Fall 2021), in “Reading the Torah as the Law of Faith,” Dr. Craig Keener took a few more steps, but unhelpfully.

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 on the emotional complexity of Calvin, including his impatience and zeal at time. Yet, this combined with other affections debarred by bigots and revisionists.

Concordia Theological Journal (Winter 2020), in “טומ Means ‘Collapse,’ Not ‘Be Shaken,” Dr. Paul Puffe’s title tells one the thesis. He’s disputing with TDOT’s lexical meaning.

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 going nowhere. This is the third article in the PTJ. Three strikes and you’re out. We’ll persevere, but this looks like a strikeout.

Themelios (Dec 2021): in “Navigating Empathy,” Jonathan Worthington discusses affective and cognitive empathy without enmeshment and appreciation for the Rogerian angle.
