Theological Journals, Part 4: 8/25/2022

Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021): in “Should Effectual Calling and Regeneration be Distinguished,” Dr. Cornelius Venema continues to exposit Dr. VanHoozer’s alleged contribution to the subject via “speech act theory.” If Dr. Venema is fairly summarizing Dr. VanHoozier, it’s difficult to see any advance beyond Dr. Francis Turretin. We’ll see. Global Anglican (Spring 2022): in “John Owen on the Dangers of Biblicism,” Rev. Rich Duncan (CoE, Peterborough, UK) notes that the Socinians had no view of Christ as priest, taking it more as an appendix to their enlarged view of Christ as prophet only, as per the Racovian Confession. How very modern, we might add. Global Anglican (Summer 2022): in “LLF, the Lambeth Conference, and the Church of England,” Keith Sinclair, National Director of CCEF, discusses LLF, “Living in Love and Faith,” a document for discussion at Lambeth 2022. He’ll interact with the positives and negatives, both of which involved the authority of Scripture. Hedgehog Review (Summer 2022): in “Notes and Comments,” the Editor discusses political philosophy, politics, and the “rules of the game.” DTS (Summer 2022): discusses the archaeology of the Synagogue of Capernaum. “The Fundamentals—A Testimony to the Truth, Vol. 1:” in “The Mosaic Authorship of the Pentateuch,” Professor George Frederick Wright, DD, LLD, notes the failures to dissect sources in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer and Shakespeare, yet, the Graffie-Cultists assure us of their 4-fold achievements. “The Fundamentals—A Testimony to the Truth, Vol. 2:” in “Inspiration of the Bible—Definition, Extent and Proof,” Dr. James Gray (Moody Bible Institute) introduces the subject with clarity. Dr. Gray was an old school, Prayer Book Churchman from the Reformed Episcopal Church and Seminary.
