Theological Journals, Part 2

Reformed Faith and Practice (May 2022): in “What Happened to Liberalism?:” Dr. Matthew S. Miller of the C.S. Lewis Institute, talks about the ultimate victory of mainline Liberalism resulting in institutional decline in numbers (liberalism undermines the parishes) and, yet, its grand, overall success in the prevailing model of MDT—moral, deistic therapeutism, the default-position passed on to the young of today by the parents. Concordia Theological Journal (January 2022), in “Confessional Loyalty or `Should I Let that Subscription Lapse?’,” Rev. Scott Murray makes his case for keeping his subscription up-to-date and not letting it lapse. Journal of Theological Studies (Vol. 9, 1908): “Cephas and Christ” the Editor meanders around on Peter’s confession at Caesarea-Philippi. Protestant Reformed Theological Journal 55,1 (Fall, 2021): in “Introduction to Church Holidays from Gereformeerd Kerkrecht,” Peter Vander Schaa discusses Easter in the calendar. Themelios (Dec 2021): in “Raised up from the Dust: An Exploration of Hannah’s Reversal Motif in the Book of Esther as Evidence of Divine Sovereignty,” Dr. Justin Jackson makes the grand case that history may be viewed as God humbling the proud and exalting the humble, notably, throughout the OT, but also 1 Samuel and Esther. A nice article. Plain talk. New Horizons (June 2022): in “Augustine’s Short Prayers in His Confessions,” Rev. Shane Lems continues his exposition of the Confessions. Ne’ery a word about the BCP, however. Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies (5.2: 2020): in “The One Church, the Many Churches,” the Roman scholar, Eduardo Echeverria, cites Berkouwer’s discussion of the “one Church” with pluriform expressions. Reformed Presbyterian Theological Journal (1837): the Editor discusses the inability of the law or human law-keeping as a way to salvation and justification. Southwestern Theological Journal (Fall 2021), in “THE USE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT IN THE EPISTLE TO THE JAMES, 1-2 PETER AND JUDE,” Dr. Mark Taylor finishes gloriously on Jude and the false teachers and turns to begin 2 Peter. 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, ends his article with a whimper. He really didn’t answer Dr. Carter in his call to a premodern reading of the Bible. Bye, bye, Barth, Bultmann and that crew.
