Theological Journals, Part 2

Bibliotheca Sacra (Jan-Mar 2021): in “A Chronology of the Life of Christ with Emphasis on the Nativity and Epiphany,” Kurt Simmons, J.D., faults the “rationalistic Historical-Critical method” as throwing traditional dates into “academic disrepute.” He will argue for Scripture and tradition offering a more reputable model. Modern Reformation (May/June 2022): “Evangelical Biblicism over the Years,” an interview of Dr. Larsen by Blake Adams: advocacy for a Renaissance of comprehensive Biblical literacy is urged. Dr. Larsen finds young Christians to be earnest, passionate and willing to “pay the cost” for such. Calvin Theological Journal (Spring 2022): in “The Beatitudes and the Life of the Church, Gerard M, Cisar discusses the crushing results of economic poverty and a broken spirit vis a vis Psalm 34. Westminster Theological Journal (Nov 2021, 355-381): “Classical Versus Contemporary: Engaging Trinitarian and Pneumatological Modelling for Ongoing Theological Construction:” Torey J.S. Teer further engages what he deems deficiencies in Van Den Brinks’ model of social trinitarianism. He alleges that he falls into Tritheism. Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021): in “Should Effectual Calling and Regeneration be Distinguished,” Dr. Cornelius Venema cites three distinct usages of the NT term “regeneration.” Anglican & Episcopal History (Sept 2014): BOOK REVIEW: Justus Doenecke reviews Philip Eaton’s “Engaging the Culture, Changing the World: The Christian University in a Post-Christian World:” engaging with numerous theologians, Eaton notices that American research universities give good research skills to student, but lack a moral and theological framework, resulting in corruption and dishonesty in the public sphere. Global Anglican (Spring 2022): in “Evaluating the Place of the Main Images of the Atonement,” Alexander Evans applies the several aspects, a comprehensive view, of the atonement and how it functions in the BCP. Glorious piece of work.
