Theological Journals, Part 2: 10/9/2022

Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (Mar 2022): in “Societally Derived or Studiously Prosecuted? God, Revelation, Education and David Payne:” Dr. Christopher Sarver continues to show that Benjamin May’s “The Negro’s God” is determined by social presentism (our word) or a social construct rather than a Biblical construct. In other words, pragmatism and utilitarianism. Anglican Theological Review (May 2022): in “An Anglican Ethic for a COVID-19 Pandemic,” Dr. Christopher Jones chokes along on platitudes believing there is an Anglican ethic and moral framework for handling the pandemic. A long reach with banal statements. Anglican Theological Review (Aug 2022): “Editors Introduction:” this edition is dedicated to historical retrieval on Archbishop Tutu. Trinity Journal (TEDS, Spring 2022): in “Biography and Historical Reliability in the Gospel of John,” Dr. Te-Li Lau, NT Prof. at TEDS, concludes his article by averring that St. John employed, possible, ancient historiographic methods. A nice big “perhaps” and an academic “maybe.” 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 that slavery was abolished in Pennsylvania in 1780 although racism still obtained.

Table Talk (September 2022): “Exodus 23:” the Sabbath included the animals, beasts of burden needing rest. Table Talk (Oct 2022): “Lost Virtues: Kindness:” Mr. Tyler Kenny makes his beginning on the subject by way of a definition.
