Theological Journals, Part 1: 9/23/2022

Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (Mar 2022): in “Temptation of an Evangelical Theologian,” Dr. R. Albert Mohler comments on the secularization in cultural, political and educational institutions citing some valid volumes perhaps worthy of purchase. Looks like a must-read/must-have. Ordered. https://www.amazon.com/Gathering-Storm-Secularism-Culture-Church/dp/1400220211/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ZN4D9FFMWOWK&keywords=the+gathering+storm+albert+mohler&qid=1663960698&sprefix=albert+mohler+the+gather%2Caps%2C777&sr=8-1 Anglican Theological Review (May 2022): in “’As if possessing but one mouth’: How Irenaeus Christianizes Classical Harmonia,” Dr. Jack Franicevich discusses Valentinians and Gnostics. Anglican Theological Review (Aug 2022): “Editors Introduction:” this edition is dedicated to historical retrieval on Archbishop Tutu. The apartheid struggle in Southern Africa is on full view. Trinity Journal (TEDS, Spring 2022): in “Biography and Historical Reliability in the Gospel of John,” Dr. Te-Li Lau, NT Prof. at TEDS, discusses genre and reliability. Anglican and Episcopal History (Aug 2022): in “Black Radicalism in the Episcopal Church: Absalom Jones and Slave Resistance, 1746-1818), Dr. D.A. Dunkley notes how Jones pursued education at night, preludes and predicates to his ordination in the PECUSA (or TEC as is known today). Historiography (Summer 2022): in “PB and Lambeth:” we hear the ringing endorsement of the PB at Lambeth 2022 on the pansexuality concept. As expected. Table Talk (September 2022): “Christian Anthropology and the Moral Law,” Dr. David Van Drunen discusses sex, gender and race from Christian anthropology. Basic. Table Talk (Oct 2022): “Fortitude” Brooks Buser comments on the life-life courage and perseverance, amidst substantive sufferings and losses (2 wives and 4 children to death), of Scottish missionary John Paton. A good application of fortitude is applied to resisting the cultural tide of secularism. Standard Bearer: (Aug 2022): in “Nurturing our Pre-School Children,” Rev. Bruinsma comments on discipling. Standard Bearer (September 2022): in in “God’s Answer Concerning the Coming of Babylon,” Rev. Hanko concludes the article with a marvelous prayer by John Calvin at the close of him work on Habakkuk. A prayer as worthy as anything in our BCP. Standard Bearer (September 2022): in an “Editorial: Reporting Sexual Abuse: the Fatal Misuse of Matthew 18,” Prof. Gritters is laying a foundation for handling such cases in the church. Asking a victim to self-report based on Matthew 18 is to revictimize the victim. How should churches and Christian schools be proactive is the Prof’s larger theme. Bibliotheca Sacra (Jan-Mar 2021): in “Suicide and the Thief in John 10.10,” Dr. James Wisland gives a wonderful retrieval on John 7-10 and the Feast of Tabernacles. Bibliotheca Sacra (April-June 2021): in “Creeds, Canons, Councils and the Contests of Tradition,” Dr. Douglas Sweeney, Dean of Beeson Divinity School, makes the beginning in church history by noting Polycarp’s warning against false teachers. He also cites Jude 4-5.
