Theological Journals, Part 1: 9/2022

Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (Mar 2022): in “Temptation of an Evangelical Theologian,” Dr. R. Albert Mohler gives a survey of the beginnings of the Evangelical Theological Society in 1949 with a happy call to scholars to join and institute a theological renaissance in publishing. Evangelism and missions were important, but were not to obscure or dismiss serious, competent, academic, and evangelical scholarship.

Anglican Theological Review (May 2022): in “’As if possessing but one mouth’: How Irenaeus Christianizes Classical Harmonia,” Dr. Jack Franicevich argues that Irenaeus consciously claimed and Christianized “classical harmonia” for the cosmos, mythology and literary texts.

Anglican Theological Review (Aug 2022): “Editors Introduction:” this edition is dedicated to historical retrieval on Archbishop Tutu and the conflicts of apartheid in South Africa.

Trinity Journal (TEDS, Spring 2022): in “Repetition with Variation in the Dialogue and Narrative of Judges,” Dr. Elizabeth Backfish discusses the Gideon story and internal variants that highlight Gideon’s motif of revenge.

Anglican and Episcopal History (Aug 2022): in “Black Radicalism in the Episcopal Church: Absalom Jones and Slave Resistance, 1746-1818), Dr. D.A. Dunkley set the stage with the American Revolution, European Revolutions and North American abolitionism.

Historiography (Summer 2022): in “Accounting for Colonial Virginia,” the historiographer accounts for lost incomes for Fairfax Anglican and Truro Anglican parishes once the “tithes” were cut off in the American Revolutionary days. The parishes had to revert to “pew rentals” based on income and social status. This was the disestablishment of the Church of England in Virginia and the colonies.

Table Talk (August 2022): Misunderstood Biblical Words: “Vocation and the Christian,” Dr. George Veith explores the Biblical and wider notion of divine vocation or divine calling, not the secularist description of “vocation as a job or career,” a limited definition contravened by Scripture.

Table Talk (September 2022): “Christian Anthropology and the Moral Law,” Dr. David Van Drunen discusses the law in relation to work, sex, gender, race and other areas of life. He argues that God's law brings joy, pleasure and more.
