Theological Journals, Part 1: 12/17/2022

Historiographer (Autumn 2022): “Recovering the Easter Vigil Liturgy:” Mr. John Rawlinson discusses Dr. Massey Shepherd’s liturgical work on this subject. National Catholic Register (6 Nov 2022): “Who Will Lead the US Bishops’ Conference:” 10 names are posed for the election. National Catholic Register (20 Nov 2022): in “Public Schools vs. Parents,” Matthew McDonald shows the face-off in one New Hampshire county which included trans-gender coaching to two children without parental notice, consultation or permission. National Catholic Register (6 Dec 2022): “School Board Success,” Matthew McDonald tells the story of school boards, CRT, transgenderism, and more. Glad the RCs are on these stories including legal challenges. Anglican Journal (Oct 2022): “Education Directory:” Thorneloe University in Sudbury, ONT. Happy PR-talk. Anglican Journal (Nov 2022): “On My New Role with the Anglican Communion,” the Canadian Primatette, Linda Nichols, talks happy talk. We’ll stick to the “Real Primates,” the Law, Prophets, Gospels and Apostles. Sit down and learn, Linda. Anglican Journal (Dec 2022): “Sask. Bishop Looks to Step Down:” Bishop Hawkins claims mental impairments after his struggle with COVID-19 with memory loss. He also laments the shrinking church. Anglican and Episcopal History (Aug 2022): in “Huguenot Anglican in Seventeenth Century Virginia,” Rev. Lonnie Lee notes that French Huguenots to Virginia brought their entrepreneurial skills to the new colony. Anglican and Episcopal History (Aug 2022): “Peter Martyr Vermigli.” Dr. Daniel Graves comments on Vermigli’s concept of “mutual indwelling”—Christ in the believer and the believer in Christ—for Holy Communion’s efficacy. Something akin, we would add, to effectual calling the believers’ responses to God’s Word. There, ya’ have it. Christ’s “Real Presence.” Mr. Sutton, sit down and be quiet. Anglican Theological Review (May 2022): : in “Reforming Tradition: Anglican Spirited Continuity,” Dr. Ross Kane has about 100 configurations of the wax nose called “Anglican traditions.” Blah, blah about “traditions” and oh-so little on Article 6 of the Thirty-Nine Articles and, of course, not a peep about WCF 1. C’mon now, Dr. Kane, let’s do some Cranmer-action. Anglican Theological Review (Aug 2022): “`Love is our Lord’s Meaning:’ Spiritual Formation in Julian of Norwich and Desmond Tutu,” Frank England is a formula for a sleep aid. Anglican Theological Review (Nov 2022): “Editors’ Notes:” comments are offered about the “supercessationist views” of “white supremacists” in Virginia. An MDiv from Yale, Mary Davenport will review Anglican sermons from 1609 onwards. This should be good. Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (Mar 2022): ”Prophecy Arguments in Apostolic and Contemporary Time,” Drs.Gauche, Newman, and Bloom argue based on a 1999 article in JETS that sane, statistical and exegetical arguments are needed to counter the anti-supernatural worldviews of the academy. This should be good. Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (Jun 2022): in “Evangelicals, Justice and the Civil War,” Dr. Obbie Tyler Todd on the defenses of slavery by Southern Baptist writers, for the “good order” and “welfare” of society and the church. Trinity Journal (TEDS, Spring 2022): BOOK Reviews: Thomas Renz’s “Nahum, Habukkuk and Zephaniah” (Eerdmans, 2021): this replaces Dr. O. Palmerson Robert’s volume in the NICOT series. It’s some 700 pages. He dates Nahum in oral or written form, 664-622 BC, noting the God is bigger and more powerful than Assyria.
