Haddington House Journal 2019-2020, Vols. 21 & 22 Editorial Policy Editorial Policy Editorial Policy 1. The journal will seek to provide an annual publication reflective of the theological basis and ethos of the Trust for students, laity, ministers, and lecturers to develop their minds and souls through in-depth articles and reviews. 2. The journal will seek to keep readers informed about new books or other publications and thus will strive to be a means of encouraging stewardship of time and money. 3. The selection of articles and works for review in each journal will usually reflect the fourfold division of the departments in the theological curriculum: biblical theology, systematic theology, historical theology, and applied theology, thereby providing balance as to the content of the journal but also providing harmony for the readers to see the unity of the curriculum. It will not be a journal devoted to one department of the theological curriculum. 4. The journal will endeavour to highlight, by way of articles and reviews, works to assist students and others in their ongoing studies and training. 5. The journal will encourage the cultivation of writing and provide an avenue for publication and exchange of knowledge. 6. The journal will include one article or review devoted to the theme of theological education. 7. The journal will also endeavour to include some news about the wider international, evangelical community of churches and their efforts in mission or theological work. 8. Prior to publication, all articles and reviews will be read by select individuals who uphold the theological basis and ethos of the Trust. It will be their task to comment, proof and ensure the quality of the journal. Editorial Staff Editorial Board Council of Reference Jack C. Whytock, Editor Jack C. Whytock Alistair I.

This double volume is produced in part to allow us to recapture our normal schedule for publications. Having moved on from the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, as highlighted in the last couple of volumes, this current combined volume is a little more eclectic. For example, we begin with something a little different – an interview – between Mary Davis, a Christian journalist, and Ranald Macaulay who lives near Cambridge, England. I would encourage you to take time to read it all. If you are not familiar with Ranald Macaulay, this will be a good way to get to know something about him. Then proceed to read two thought-provoking and stimulating articles of his in this volume – Rescuing Darwin or Wrecking The Faith and “Being (even more) Human”. After the Macaulay interview is an article by John Koning of South Africa. John has written several times for us. He recently completed his PhD thesis and then wrote some reflections on this endeavor. Since many students read this journal, I think it is good to include John’s personal testimony, especially for those working towards advanced degrees in theology. Traditionally we also include a sermon. This year we have included a very old sermon – one which was preached 250 years ago at the first ordination of an evangelical Presbyterian minister in what is now Canada. The strength of this sermon is the clear Biblical teaching on the need for a converted ministry. Moving on with our combined volume, you will find selections from seminars presented at the August, 2019 General Assembly of the World Reformed Fellowship (WRF) in Jakarta, Indonesia. One is a synopsis of a seminar on the “Prosperity” Gospel and the other, a two-part seminar by Pierre Berthoud and Andrew McGowan, examines Europe and the current state of evangelicalism. As a token of remembrance of this very special assembly, the cover photo of our 2019-2020 volume is a picture from that event. To learn more, you can go to the WRF website, wrfnet.org. The new Statement of Reformed Theological Identity which was adopted in August, 2019 has also been reprinted here to allow more to become informed about this document. 4 Haddington House Journal 2019-2020 Readers should read this Statement of Identity along with the 2010 WRF Statement of Faith (available on the WRF website). Since it is difficult to find English materials related to the French Huguenots and French evangelical history in Canada, I was particularly delighted to find an old article on the Huguenots in Canada when I was trying to do some background reading on the subject. It was written by a very colourful Canadian Professor, John Campbell. Also, one of our book reviews highlights the Huguenots (see the Historical Theology section and the review of Working’s book). Once again many book reviews and book briefs (over 40) have been included. These cover a wide range of current books, and I encourage you to read what others are saying about some of the recent publications within the four areas of theology: biblical, systematic, historical, and practical. We want the Haddington House Journal to be a helpful resource for students and also lecturers. Dave Eby of Africa Reformation Theological Seminary, Uganda has produced a catechism on preaching (for his Preaching One course) which is included in this volume. It is a fine pedagogical tool for teaching on preaching. We believe that students and lecturers alike will find this most helpful. Dave has also produced a second such catechism and we hope to include that in the 2021 volume. Also, Steve Curtis has provided

  • Hell: Never, Forever, Or Just for Awhile?
    TMSJ 9/2 (Fall 1998) 129-145 HELL: NEVER, FOREVER, OR JUST FOR AWHILE? Richard L. Mayhue Senior Vice President and Dean Professor of Theology and Pastoral Ministries The plethora of literature produced in the last two decades on the basic nature of hell indicates a growing debate in evangelicalism that has not been experienced since the latter half of the nineteenth century. This introductory article to the entire theme issue of TMSJ sets forth the context of the question of whether hell involves conscious torment forever in Gehenna for unbelievers or their annihilation after the final judgment. It discusses historical, philosophical, lexical, contextual, and theological issues that prove crucial to reaching a definitive biblical conclusion. In the end, hell is a conscious, personal torment forever; it is not “just for awhile” before annihilation after the final judgment (conditional immortality) nor is its final retribution “never” (universalism). * * * * * A few noted evangelicals such as Clark Pinnock,1 John Stott,2 and John Wenham3 have in recent years challenged the doctrine of eternal torment forever in hell as God’s final judgment on all unbelievers. James Hunter, in his landmark “sociological interpretation” of evangelicalism, notes that “. it is clear that there is a measurable degree of uneasiness within this generation of Evangelicals with the notion of an eternal damnation.”4 The 1989 evangelical doctrinal caucus “Evangelical Affirmations” surprisingly debated this issue. “Strong disagreements did surface over the position of annihilationism, a view that holds that unsaved souls 1Clark H. Pinnock, “The Conditional View,” in Four Views on Hell, ed. by William Crockett (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1996) 135-66.

  • Biblical Inerrancy
    MODERNISM – FUNDAMENTALISM – NEW EVANGELICALISM AND BIBLICAL INERRANCY The purpose of this paper is to give a partial history of the age-old battle for the Bible. My prayer is that we settle two major truths in our hearts and minds: the sufficiency of God’s Word, and the sufficiency of the Holy Spirit to empower all who share belief in the verbal inspiration, infallibility, and inerrancy of God’s Word. The word inerrancy is used repeatedly in this paper for clarity. The word infallibility is used by some to define limited inerrancy. Dr. Harold Lindsell's book, "The Battle for the Bible," holds to this strong view of Biblical inerrancy as the watershed issue in the evangelical world. Throughout the history of mankind, we have had two major lines of development. One has followed man’s way in what we might call the wisdom of this world or the way of the natural man. The other major line of development is God’s way, which follows after the revealed wisdom of God’s inerrant Word, and this is the way of the spiritual man. THE BEGINNINGS OF THEOLOGICAL MODERNISM Theological modernism (or liberalism) had its origin in Europe, particularly in Germany, in the 19th century and was merely the rationalistic thinking of that time applied to the Bible. It was the dawn of the scientific era. Many men felt they were on the verge of discovering the secrets of the universe and solving the problems of mankind. Anti-Christian thinkers such as Darwin, Hegel, and Marx led the movement to dethrone God and replace Him with scientific humanism.

Beeke w Written for older children and teens, equally enjoyable for adults w Beautifully illustrated by Caffy Whitney and others w Attractive 11” x 8.5” coffee table format, printed on glossy paper w Helpful glossary of terms w Bibliography for further interest w Makes a great gift w Useful as a history text ISBN 978-1-60178-028-7 Hardcover, 256 pages Retail: $25.00 / RHB Price: $18.00 The Reformation did not happen instantaneously; it was something God patiently arranged over a number of years. As you read this book, you will learn how the Lord used some people to plant the seeds of church reform long before October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther published his ninety-five theses. Luther’s story is well-known; we trust you will find it interesting and instructive to read about him and about forty others (John Knox, Peter Martyr Vermigli, Zacharias Ursinus, Willem Teellinck, etc.) who contributed to the Reformation—some well known and others not so— most of whom are Reformation heroes. To provide a more full picture of the many-sided Reformation, chapters are also included on the Anabaptist and Counter Reformation movements. The book concludes with a brief summary of the influence of the Reformation in different areas of life. “Diana Kleyn and Joel Beeke have once again found a way to make history both interesting and challeng- ing. By grace, Reformation Heroes is a book that will help capture young minds and hearts for Christ.” —DR. SINCLAIR FERGUSON “Reformation Heroes is a valuable introduction to important figures in the Reformation.

  • A Review of John Gerstner's Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth1
    TMSJ 3/1 (Spring 1992) 73-94 WHO IS WRONG? A REVIEW OF JOHN GERSTNER'S WRONGLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH1 Richard L. Mayhue Vice-President and Dean Professor of Pastoral Ministries The Master's Seminary Dr. John H. Gerstner, a recognized scholar with impressive credentials, has issued a call for dispensationalists to admit the glaring gaps between their system and orthodox Christianity. However, his presentation of dispensationalism contains shortcomings that necessitate this special review article to point out some of these and to challenge dispensationalists to publicize a greater clarification of their position. Many of the assumptions that undergird Dr. Gerstner's case against dispensationalism are in error. These faults are magnified by a number of major weaknesses in his argument. A review of the book shows how the author's treatment of his subject deteriorates even more through ten representative theological misstatements. The work is of such a misleading nature that a retraction of some kind seems to be in order. * * * * * General Anthony C. McAuliffe, commanding officer of the 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne, found his troops surrounded by the Germans early in the famous World War II Battle of the Bulge 1John H. Gerstner, Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth: A Critique of Dispensa- tionalism (Brentwood, TN: Wolgemuth and Hyatt, Publishers, Inc., 1991). This volume greatly expands on Dr. Gerstner's previous brief presentation of these issues in his booklet A Primer on Dispensationalism (Phillipsburg, NJ: Presbyterian and Reformed, 1982). 73 (December, 1944). The opposing Nazi general, sensing quick victory, sent word to surrender immediately. McAuliffe replied with what is now one of the most famous one-word responses in military history, "Nuts!" In love, that also is our response to Dr.

  • Answering God's Call in a Broken World
    PANORAMA Pittsburgh Theological Seminary Vol. LVII Spring 2020 ANSWERING GOD’S CALL IN A BROKEN WORLD NOTE FROM THE EDITOR s you can imagine, pulling together a Amagazine of this length and caliber takes months. Last fall the Advancement staff were discussing how important it is for our students to prepare to serve the world as it is, not the world as they wish it could be. That conversation led to this issue’s theme, Answering God’s Call in a Broken World. Little did we know at the time that in just a few months the Seminary, state, country, and world would forever change because of the spread of COVID-19. As I write this note in mid-March, Pittsburgh Seminary students are learning online, and I, along with the faculty and other staff, am working from my home. I certainly do not know to what extent our lives will change between now and the time you receive this publication. But as we all adjust to our “new normal,” I encourage you to remember the words of one of my favorite contemporary Christian songs, Go Light Your Candle, written by Chris Rice: “Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn / Hold out your candle for all to see it / Take your candle, and go light your world.” May we all find ways to bring the light of Christ to these frequently dark days. Melissa Logan Managing Editor P.S. For helpful and encouraging resources in dealing with practical and spiritual materials related to the COVID-19 outbreak, or to make a special gift toward sustaining our students during this crisis, see the Seminary’s website.
