Theological Journals, Part 5: 12/1/2022


Hedgehog Review (Summer 2022): in “The Evangelical Question,” Kirsten Sanders discusses “Evangelicalism C,” the hyper-individualized version brought about by social media, podcasts and bloggers. Hedgehog Review (Fall 2022): in “From the Editor,” Dr. James Davison Hunter wonders if “hope exists” in a trans-humanistic and post-humanistic world. The world might be better without humans than with them. Dark indeed. “The Fundamentals—A Testimony to the Truth, Vol. 1: “Chapter 5: Holy Scripture and Modern Negations” by Prof. James Orr of United Free Church College, Glasgow, Scotland: Prof Orr lambasts with inquisitive and remarkable skill the lunacy of postulating a post-exilic date for Leviticus. It’s pretty hilarious. The take-down of the Graffie-Cultists is something to behold. Bravo, Prof. Orr! “The Fundamentals—A Testimony to the Truth, Vol. 2:” in “Chapter 2: Inspiration,” Rev. L. W. Munhall discusses “the rigid” doctrine of verbal, plenary inspiration of the Canon from Tertullian to quotes from Augustine. He then moves on to Prof. Warfield noting that this view of inspiration is the doctrine of the Church of all ages and of all names. Touche. “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 notes that one has to capture the gravity of sin and the gravity of the Cross, correlatively. “The Fundamentals—A Testimony to the Truth, Vol. 4:” “Chapter 3: The Wisdom of the World,” Dr. A. W. Pitzer outlines the height of ancient civilizations in several directions, yet, also the massive, internal corruptions and depravities—apart from the life of God and aliens to the life of God as Paul puts it around Ephesian 4.18, loc.cit. “Theologians You Should Know: Apostolic Fathers to the 21st Century,” Dr. Michael Reeves discusses Augustine, his life, the turbulencies in the Empire, and his profound influence on the western half of the fallen Empire.
