Theological Journals

Historiographer (Episcopal Church): in “How Are We Reading,” David Skidmore tells us that he is a “liberal” with an “open mind.” Blah, blah, blah, except not a single thing about the Bible, exegesis, theology or church history. Also, as an aside, the June 2022 edition of Anglican and Episcopal History will deal with articles on Lambeth Conferences in general and the 2022 Lambeth Conference more particularly. Table Talk (June 2022): in “The Rhythm of Forgiveness,” Rev. O’Steen (not Joel Osteen) comments on the role of forgiveness in family and church life, but also more widely. Table Talk (July 2022): Dr. Reeder brings “salt and light” into the subject of interpersonal communications along with several texts. Important reminders. Standard Bearer (June 2022): in “The White Horse” and Revelation, Rev. Dennis Lee gives the overview to Revelation reminding us (again) that the Sovereign Lamb and Redeemer is the effectuator and governor of the eternal decrees in the Book of Decrees. Don’t tell Clark Pinnock. Bibliotheca Sacra (Jan-Mar 2021): in “`Not Abandoned to Sheol:’ The Psalms and Hope for the Righteous after Death,” Dr. Kyle Dunham exquisitely handles Psalm 49 and the hope of communion with God in the afterlife in the OT. Delightful exegesis and thoughtful commentary. Modern Reformation (May/June 2022): “Everything in Nature Speaks of God: Understanding Sola Scriptura Aright:” Jordan Steffaniak ends his little temper tantrum about the “biblicists.” All hat, no cattle. All pouting, little substance. Not impressive. Calvin Theological Journal (Spring 2022): in “The Beatitudes and the Life of the Church, Gerard M, Cisar nicely elaborates on the semantic field of makaroi. Westminster Theological Journal (Nov 2021, 355-381): “Classical Versus Contemporary: Engaging Trinitarian and Pneumatological Modelling for Ongoing Theological Construction:” Torey J.S. Teer is wonking us out about social trinitarianism. Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021, 7-34): in “Still No Peeking: Karl Barth’s Conflict with Federal Theology,” Dr. Beach “outs” Barth for ineffectual grace of an ineffectual atonement yet universalizing it by the elected and reprobated Christ, atoning for all and assuring nothing. Gloriously, the article is ended. Global Anglican (Spring 2022), in in “Evaluating the Place of Main Images of the Atonement in Common Worship’s Order Two and its Significance for the Mission of the Church,” Alexander Evans develops the familial image of a family, reconciliation and adoption as additional aspects of the comprehensive work of Christ’s atonement. Simply glorious work by Alexander. Reformed Presbyterian Theological Journal (1837): the Editor concludes the memorial of Rev. John Cannon. Forgotten to us, but not to God. Reformed Theological Journal (Sept 2020), in “Christian Platonism” and Christological Interpretation: A Response to Craig A. Carter, Interpreting Scripture with the Great Tradition,” Daniel J. Treier of Wheaton College is going not very far. Something is wrong here. Concordia Theological Journal (January 2022), in “Hermann Sasse’s View of the Office of the Ministry Up to World War II,” the LCMS’s President, Matthew C. Harrison, continues talking about the Pastoral role. Princeton Theological Review (Vol.22, No.1, Spring 2007): “Cyril, Nestorius, and Schleiermacher on the Relation between the Incarnation and the Atonement:” Nathan Hieb makes a start on Schleiermacher who opposes both Nestorius and Cyril. Where will this go. Themelios (Dec 2021): in “Old Testament Hope: Psalm 2, the Psalter, and the Anointed One:” Dr S. D. Ellison finishes handling Psalm 2 in Hebrews and begins working through allusions to it in Revelation. Nice job here. Hedgehog Review (Sprin 2017): in the “Strange Persistence of Guilt,” Dr. Wilfred M. McClay comments on Freud’s projection theory yet with no envisioned answers for guilt. Guilt still persists widely according to the author. Reformed Faith and Practice (May 2022): in “Evangelicalism After Fosdick: Macartney as a Case Study,” Dr. John Muether of Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, notes that MacCartney and Wilbur Smith, functional congregationalists staying within the PCUSA, would become cross-denominationalists and become the predicate for American evangelicalism. “Theologians You Should Know: Apostolic Fathers to the 21st Century,” Dr. Michael Reeves tours Ignatius of Antioch, a Bishop’s Bishop. Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies (5.2: 2020): “An Introduction to Catholicity: An Editorial Preface to this Special Issue: Ryan A. Brandt and Matthew Emerson outlines the varied faith traditions that will, in time, unfold their version of catholicity.
