Theological Journals, Part 2: 0/5/2022


Table Talk (August 2022): “Heart and Mind:” Dr. Witmer explicates “heart, mind, and soul” in the Bible with the nuances. Table Talk (September 2022): “The Doctrine of Man:” Dr. Belcher discusses covenant theology in standard ways. Table Talk (October 2022): Lost Virtues: Dr. Burk Parsons comments on the loss of virtues in modernity. We’ll see where this goes. Standard Bearer (September 2022): in “How shall the PRCA responds,” Prof. Gritters is noting that pride—individuals, doctrinal pride, denominational pride, etc.—brings God’s chastisement. A warrantable warning. Bibliotheca Sacra (Jan-Mar 2021): in “A Chronology of the Life of Christ with Emphasis on the Nativity and Epiphany,” Kurt Simmons, J.D., has moved beyond nativity and epiphany to account for the larger 3-year history of Jesus’s ministry. Modern Reformation (July/Aug 2022): in “The Role of Creeds and Confessions in the Church,” Dr. Guy Richard continues his thesis on the importance of such. Modern Reformation (Sept/Oct 2022): a translation of Herman Bavinck’s “The Christian Faith:” Bavinck holds forth on the glory of divine impressions of theological articles that are gifts of faith, not historical-critical research. He really is doing an Anselmian move on our view: credo ut intelligam. Or, in reverse for the decadent ones, non credo et non intelligam. Nice work by Bavinck here, although we’ve added a few points, e.g., the burial of the Graf-Cultists. Calvin Theological Journal (Spring 2022): “Theological Interpretation in Nigeran Prosperity Preachers:” Dr. Samuel Okanlewon takes on the monetizers and their distortion of 1 Peter 2.24. Westminster Theological Journal (Nov 2021, 355-381): BOOK REVIEW: James Prothro’s “Both Judge and Justifier: Biblical Language and the Act of Justifying in Paul.” Prothro examines and defends the forensic meaning of dikaoi. He also add forgiveness, remission of sin and reconciliation, making justification not just forensic but relational.
