Theological Journals, Part2: 10/15/2022

Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (Mar 2022): in “Societally Derived or Studiously Prosecuted? God, Revelation, Education and David Payne:” Dr. Christopher Sarver gives Mays’s review of Bishop David Payne’s theology proper—dubbed by Mays as mostly constructive and with moments of compensation.

Anglican Theological Review (May 2022): in “An Anglican Ethic for a COVID-19 Pandemic,” Dr. Christopher Jones just wasted time that won’t be recovered. Plug in the paper-shredder for this one.

Trinity Journal (TEDS, Spring 2022): in “The De-Creation of Genesis 1 in the Trumpets of Revelation 8-9,” Dr. Craig Robinson thinks and is arguing the creation has its 6-day order and that this is reversed in the trumpets of Revelation 8-9. We’ll just follow this wonky thesis.

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 Rev. Jones baptized 1218 people/infants at St. Thomas African Episcopal Church from 1794-1817, the date of his death. He and other rendered military defenses of Philadelphia during the American rebellion (another one) against the Brits in 1812 (our words not Dr. Dunkley’s).

Historiography (Summer 2022): “Which Church is This?” A picture of a church built in 1817 in the mid-Atlantic region of the Us is given with a history. Mail in the guesses for the next edition.

Table Talk (September 2022): “Exodus 23:” God promises to drive out the Canaanites “little by little” and not all at once, lest the land be depopulated and wild beasts take over.

Table Talk (Oct 2022): in “Lost Virtues: Honesty,” Rev. Todd Pruitt talks about Biblical texts for honesty and against lying.

Table Talk (Nov 2022): in “We Have Answers,” Dr. James Andersen comments on his own personal development in the field of apologetics.

Standard Bearer (October 1, 2022): in “Antinomians? Without a Doubt (3),” Prof. Gritters makes his beginning in outlining the RPC-schism as antinomian.

Bibliotheca Sacra (Jan-Mar 2021): in “Suicide and the Thief in John 10.10,” Dr. James Wisland argues cogently for a structural outline of John 7-11, 12, 24-27, and 18-21. Where he gets “suicide” for the title—other than a few opening paragraphs of the article, the subject has never been mentioned. Otherwise, a fair handling of John’s Gospel. Weird.

Bibliotheca Sacra (April-June 2021): in “Anti-Semitism in the New Testament: New Scrutiny of a Chronic Notion,” Dr. David Mash gives the theo-political structure in Jesus’s time: Chief Priests, Elders, Sanhedrin, Pharisees and Sadduccees. Jesus will speak truth to power, as the modern phrase goes.

Modern Reformation (Sept/Oct 2022): in “Reading Genesis in the Reformation,” Wesley Viner notes that Calvin viewed the Genesis 1 account like Galileo. Not as a structural, astronomic treatise or how the scientific details were arranged—not to tell us about the heavens but how to get to heaven.
