Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021): in “Should Effectual Calling and Regeneration be Distinguished,” Dr. Cornelius Venema rewraps what’s already by posited by Turretin.

Calvin Theological Journal (Spring 2022): in “The Beatitudes and the Life of the Church, Gerard M, Cisar is nattering away about hungering and thirsty for justice—repetitious. Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021): in “Should Effectual Calling and Regeneration be Distinguished,” Dr. Cornelius Venema is repeating himself on Turretin on the subject.

Ronald Cammenga gives the standard Christology of Heinrich Bullinger with the textual supports.

Don’t look for expositions and applications of this. Bibliotheca Sacra (Jan-Mar 2021): in “A Chronology of the Life of Christ with Emphasis on the Nativity and Epiphany,” Kur...
