Theological Journals, Part 2: 12/13/2022

National Catholic Register (6 Nov 2022): “Who Will Lead the US Bishops’ Conference:” 10 names are posed for the election. ABC Burbidge of Alexandria, VA has countered Demonrats in Congress supporting baby-killing. National Catholic Register (20 Nov 2022): “FDA Warns Against At-Home Abortions:” discusses mifepristone, an abortifacient, and its medical issues. It accounts for about 50% of abortions nationwide. National Catholic Register (6 Dec 2022): “North Dakota ‘Servant of God’ Continues to Inspire with her Holy Life:” the ND diocese has begun the process of canonization of Michelle DuPoong who, dying at 31, inspired others. Anglican Journal (Oct 2022): “Education Directory:” Huron College of Huron, Ontario. A lot of PR-commentary on this-and-that, yet without identifying it’s anti-Tractarian, 19th century impetus for its foundation. Someone’s Bishop got his MDiv from there. He’s Bishop “I don’t talk theology” Rob Skirving. He said it. It’s on him. Anglican Journal (Nov 2022): “Gospel-Based Apology:” Rev. Vincent Solomon gives it a-go on apologia, or defense, versus “apology,” namely ABC Welby’s apology to Canadian Indians. Anglican Journal (Dec 2022): “Provinces Absent from Lambeth have left Communion” say Primate Linda Nichols of Canada. Uganda, Kenya and Rhwanda bugged out of Lambeth 2022. Anglican Theological Review (May 2022): : in “Reforming Tradition: Anglican Spirited Continuity,” Dr. Ross Kane discusses “tradition” as a political and social tool for “authority.” Anglican Theological Review (Aug 2022): “`Love is our Lord’s Meaning:’ Spiritual Formation in Julian of Norwich and Desmond Tutu,” Frank England continues his sleep-like review of Julian. Get on with it old boy. Anglican and Episcopal History (Aug 2022): in in “Huguenot Anglican in Seventeenth Century Virginia,” Rev. Lonnie Lee explores how King James II was trying to shut down and negatively impact the French congregations in London, but also Virginia. Bishop Compton writes to the ABC and disobeys J2’s game. Meanwhile, floods of French Huguenots are flooding England due to the French demons. This also made emigration to Virginia and attractive release valve. Oh to bless America and England with French Calvinists. Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (Mar 2022): in “Societally Derived or Studiously Prosecuted? God, Revelation, Education and David Payne:” Dr. Christopher Sarver has ably sustained his thesis: Bishop Payne was a Bible-man and that shaped his educational and social works. The church faces the same issue: Bible exegesis and theology first, then application. Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (Jun 2022): in “Evangelicals, Justice and the Civil War,” Dr. Obbie Tyler Todd comments on Charlie Finney’s definitions of retributive justice, public justice (contra slavery), and atonement. Trinity Journal (TEDS, Spring 2022): in “The De-Creation of Genesis 1 in the Trumpets of Revelation 8-9,” Dr. Craig Robinson continues to be a sleep-aid. Wearisome and over-done. Table Talk (September 2022): “Exodus 25:” describes the 7-branched lampstand, given for light for the working priests but also illustrative of the God of Light. Table Talk (Oct 2022): in “Exodus 28:” describes the Priestly vestments, including the Urrim and Thummin. Send the memo to REC’s Shifty in Dallas and the Penguin in Philadelphia—they’d lust for those vestments. Table Talk (Nov 2022): in “Don’t All Religions Lead to God?,” Dr. Stephen Nichols is defining exclusivism, inclusivism and pluralism. The rage of the nihilists is theological pluralism contra: God’s Self-Disclosure, especially that nasty old God of the OT for cryin’ out loud! [tongue firmly in cheek]. Table Talk (Dec 2022): “Death and the Intermediate State:” Dr. Dennis Johnson begins the workup of classical eschatology: death and the intermediate state, preludes to the return of Christ, the resurrection and the new heavens and new earth. Table Talk (Jan 2023): “Uncompromised Peace:” “A Biblical Theology of Peace: Dr. Justin Estrada gives the fulsome, pregnant and weighty concept of the Hebrew word, “Shalom.” We’d argue by the analogy of faith that this informs St. Paul and justification, reconciliation and propitiation.
