Theological Journals, Part 2

Standard Bearer (June 2022): Rev. Joshua Engelsma in “The PCRA: Part 5” argues that the PRCA has had a rather elitist view of itself with condescension towards other Christian—pride, he avers. Bibliotheca Sacra (Jan-Mar 2021): in “`Not Abandoned to Sheol:’ The Psalms and Hope for the Righteous after Death,” Dr. Kyle Dunham handles a few commentators who seek to limit Psalm 49.14-15 and its applicability to deliverance from Sheol. Modern Reformation (May/June 2022): “Evangelical Biblicism over the Years,” an interview of Dr. Larsen by Blake Adams: Bebbington’s quadrilateral is invoked over “evangelicals” and the Word of God. Such a term! “Evangelicals.” Can anyone say Matthew 10? Or, Matthew 28.16ff.? What is an “Evangelical?” Calvin Theological Journal (Spring 2022): in “The Beatitudes and the Life of the Church, Gerard M, Cisar wonks away about the “chiasma” of the Beatitudes. Westminster Theological Journal (Nov 2021, 355-381): “Classical Versus Contemporary: Engaging Trinitarian and Pneumatological Modelling for Ongoing Theological Construction:” Torey J.S. Teer takes on Van Der Brink’s 5-fold defense of social trinitarianism. Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021): in “Should Effectual Calling and Regeneration be Distinguished,” Dr. Cornelius Venema is warming to the distinction yet inseparability of both. Anglican & Episcopal History (Sept 2014): BOOK REVIEW: Elesha Coffman’s “The Christian Century and the Protestant Mainline:” reviewer, Justin Doeneck,” retains the 100 year history of the Christian Century as an organ of pacificism, various other political views, and an enemy of the “literalists,” those “fundamentalists” (his words). Oh those backwoodsmen! Illiterate tub-thumpers, those “fundamentalists.” Oh wait! What of Dean Hague of Wycliffe College or BB Warfield of Princeton? Oh no!
