Theological Journals, Part 2: 10/6/2022

Modern Reformation (Sept/Oct 2022): “Science, Religion and the Nineteenth-Century Protestantism, Dr. James Ungureanu further comments on the forlorn hopes of Draper and White that science would throw away religion and theology. McCabe, once a Romanist monk, gave up his faith and became a vocal atheist (our word is lying theist) largely agreeing with Draper and White, but equally dismissing the “liberal Protestant” adjustments are poor tinkering and inconsistency.

Calvin Theological Journal (Spring 2022): in “Sign or Seal: Baptism in the Christian Reformed Church,” Dr. Ryan Faber notes how the CRC has turned towards the more externalist view of baptism, thus, including infant baptism inclining to infant dedication. The author hopes that is reversed.

Mid-America Journal of Theology (Fall 2021): in “The Voice of One Crying: John Chrysostom the Preacher,” Dr. Gordon McMillan continues to illustrate the rhetorical prowess of Chrysostom, beloved by his auditors.

Hedgehog Review (Summer 2022): in “The Tragedy of American Political Tradition,” Nick Burns comments on the two Americans embroiled in partisan bickerings and even demonizations of one another.

Global Anglican (Summer 2022): “Obedience and Submission in 1 Peter,” Dr. Lionel Windsor of Moore College is still working the issue of “obedience/submission” in 1 Peter, but in a way to avoid patriarchy, slavery, etc.

“The Fundamentals—A Testimony to the Truth, Vol. 1: “Chapter 4: The Bible and Modern Criticism, Professor F. Bettex of Stuttgart notes how conflicted the Graffies are with multiplication of sources, intramural conflicts, and the infeasibilities of arguing the same for Milton, Shakespeare, Goethe, Voltaire or others.

“The Fundamentals—A Testimony to the Truth, Vol. 2:” in “Inspiration of the Bible—Definition, Extent and Proof,” Dr. James Gray (Moody Bible Institute and ordained minister in the Reformed Episcopal Church) outline the “jot and tittle” view of Jesus’s view of Scriptural permanence, inspiration and authorship.

“The Fundamentals—A Testimony to the Truth, Vol. 3: “Chapter 2: Paul’s Testimony to the Doctrine of Sin,” Professor Charles B. Williams (Southwestern Baptist Seminary, Fort Worth, TX): the Professor continues to hit homeruns—this time dealing with sarx and pneuma passages.

“The Fundamentals—A Testimony to the Truth, Vol. 4:” in “Modern Philosophy,” Attorney-at-Law, Philip Mauro declaims against the pantheistic Hindus in the modern, American academy.

“Theologians You Should Know: Apostolic Fathers to the 21^st Century,” Dr. Michael Reeves discusses Athanasius, the incarnation, and the reversal of sin.

Princeton Theological Review (Vol.22, No.1, Spring 2007): “Theory and Metaphor in Calvin’s Doctrine of the Atonement,” Darren Sumner shoots himself in the foot here. After elucidating Calvin quite well, it makes this weird pitch of relativism that other models are warrantable. Stick to the historical retrieval, Mr. Sumner, not your theological views impositionally. Thank you.

Reformed Faith and Practice (May 2022): in “What Counts as `Biblical’ Philosophy? Reflections from Dru Johnson’s Biblical Philosophy, Dr. Gray Sutanto of Reformed Theological Seminary, Washington D. C. wonks out here about “biblical philosophy” and the “Hebraic model.” ??.

Concordia Theological Journal (January 2022), in “Repentance for the Corinthian Community: 1 Clement’s Presentation of Christ in the Old Testament,” Rev. Daniel Broaddus discusses Clement’s use of predictive prophecy in his Christology.

Themelios (Dec 2021): “Soteriology in the Gospel of John:” Dr. Bruce Reichenback of Augsburg University, Minneapolis, sketches out the Priest and Victim ideas of the Shepherd of the sheep—and the vicarious Lamb.

Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies (5.2: 2020): Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies (5.2: 2020): in “Surely a Catholic Church: The Orthodox Church as the Church,” John Mark Reynolds the layman is busy saying nothing, but he finally gets in his iconodulatry angle. No exegesis, no systematics and little-to-no church history. He does work in John of Damascus in defense of iconodulatry. Very poor article and unsure why this passed Editorial muster.
