Theological Journals, Part 2

Modern Reformation (May/June 2022): in “Restoring Eve,” Kendra Dahl wanders around on images of Eve—temptress, power-seeker, deceiver, transgressor. Modern Reformation (July/Aug 2022): in “Call for Letters,” the Editor, Joshua Schendel…well, he calls for letters of 400 words or less. Someone may take them up on it. Calvin Theological Journal (Spring 2022): in “The Beatitudes and the Life of the Church, Gerard M, Cisar points to poverty as a result of lawlessness and injustice, even in the OT period when the Jubilee Year was overlooked. Instead of release, the poor were kept in bondage. Westminster Theological Journal (Nov 2021, 355-381): “Classical Versus Contemporary: Engaging Trinitarian and Pneumatological Modelling for Ongoing Theological Construction:” Torey J.S. Teer engages “Third Article Theology,” a fad of the last 20ish years or so, although adumbrated earlier. Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021): in “Should Effectual Calling and Regeneration be Distinguished,” Dr. Cornelius Venema shows the wider and narrower uses of “regeneration” in the Reformed tradition. We’ll stick with WCF 10. Nice historical workup by Dr. Venema. Global Anglican (Spring 2022): in “Evaluating the Place of the Main Images of the Atonement,” Alexander Evans gloriously takes us through Dr. Cranmer’s BCP and Holy Communion evincing the several aspects of Christ’s atonement—images/realities of sacrifice, penal substitution, definitiveness, ransom, expiation, propitiation…gloriously so.
