Theological Journals, Part 2: 10/22/2022

Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (Mar 2022): in “Societally Derived or Studiously Prosecuted? God, Revelation, Education and David Payne:” Dr. Christopher Sarver reviews Bishop Payne’s two years at Gettysburg College, a recipient of a scholarship, his premature departure due to health, but the impact of turning Bishop Payne into a Bible-man in the original languages as well. Anglican Theological Review (May 2022): in “An Anglican Ethic for a COVID-19 Pandemic,” Dr. Christopher Jones thankfully ended this medical and political article in a theological journal. Trinity Journal (TEDS, Spring 2022): in “The De-Creation of Genesis 1 in the Trumpets of Revelation 8-9,” Dr. Craig Robinson wonks into oblivion with arcane, hi-end esoterica. Next. Table Talk (Oct 2022): in “Exodus 26:” a description of the tabernacle and it dimensions is discussed. Table Talk (Nov 2022): in “Do We Have the Right Books of the Bible,” Dr. Mike Kruger discusses Origen, Tatian, and Jerome on the “Self-Authenticating” witness of God to God by His Word. Exactly as in the WCF. Standard Bearer (October 1, 2022): in “What is Gender Dysphoria and its Common Expressions,” Prof. Greiss reviews the DMS-4 and new DMS-5 with new definitions coming from the APA. Bibliotheca Sacra (Jan-Mar 2021): in “Table Briefing: Escaping the Prosperity Gospel and Recovering the Real Gospel,” Darrell Bock retails Costi Hinn’s departure from his uncle’s game, that is, Benny Hinn. Bentleys, Ferraris, private jets, premiere hotels, best restaurants, and large mansions were signs of salvation and blessing. Costi is painting a life picture of the inside of the Mafia ring. Bibliotheca Sacra (April-June 2021): in “Anti-Semitism in the New Testament: New Scrutiny of a Chronic Notion,” Dr. David Mash deals with texts pitting Jewish leaders against Jesus. Modern Reformation (Sept/Oct 2022): in “Reading Genesis in the Reformation,” Wesley Winer ends his article by telling readers that not everyone reads the Bible and that they should take the help of other expositors. Not a glorious ending, really. Calvin Theological Journal (Spring 2022): in “Sign or Seal: Baptism in the Christian Reformed Church,” Dr. Ryan Faber gives more of the in-house debate about infant baptism and the efficacy of it. Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021): in a “Balanced Ministry,” Dr. Bill Boekestein delineates balance in ministry versus over-commitment (exhaustion and other results). Hedgehog Review (Summer 2022): in Hedgehog Review (Summer 2022): in in “The Evangelical Question,” Kirsten Sanders talk about “evangelicalism” as an historical product. She slips in the Bible, but rather misses the point that the Bible creates the church, not society. Peter Berger the sociologist doesn’t do Trinitarian analysis well.
