    LANGHAM LITERATURE What Angels Long to Read Reading and Preaching the New Testament Mark Meynell Foreword by Christopher J. H. Wright ‘Even angels long to look into these things’ Peter wrote to encourage and embolden isolated and vulnerable believers. His timeless words have consoled and challenged ever since and show how the eternal gospel is true even in the toughest circumstances.

Mark Meynell skilfully brings the New Testament to life. Guiding the reader through preaching the Gospels and Acts, the Parables, the Letters and Revelation, as well as using a host of worked examples, sample sermons and personal exercises, this book offers ideas and approaches to stretch even the most seasoned preachers.

  • Critique of Theonomy: a Taxonomy — T. David Gordon
    T. David Gordon, “Critique of Theonomy: A Taxonomy,” Westminster Theological Journal 56.1 (Spring 1994): 23-43. Critique of Theonomy: A Taxonomy — T. David Gordon I. Introduction 1. Distinguishing Theonomy from Theonomists One of the most difficult aspects of polemical theology is being sure that what is being evaluated is a distinctive viewpoint, not the individuals holding the viewpoint. Of necessity, when evaluating a given view, one examines those dimensions that distinguish it from other views. It would inevitably be lopsided, then, to confuse a criticism of a view with a criticism of those who hold it. Presumably, those who hold a distinctive view also embrace many other views that are identical with those shared by the church catholic. Individual Theonomists are not intended to be the point of an examination such as this; rather, what is evaluated is the viewpoint that distinguishes Theonomy from other approaches to biblical ethics. 2. Distinguishing Theonomy from Christian Reconstruction As socioreligious phenomena, Theonomy and Christian Reconstruction are closely related. The individuals involved in the one are ordinarily involved in the other. However, theologically and religiously they can be distinguished. Christian Reconstructionists exist in a variety of forms, and are ordinarily united in their belief that the Western world, and especially the United States, has departed from the Judeo-Christian ethical basis that once characterized its public discourse, with devastating results. Positively, Reconstructionists wish to see the United States return to a more biblical approach, or even a more Judeo-Christian approach, to the issues of civil life. Theonomy is more specific than this, though it does not disagree with it.

  • The Inerrancy and Authority of Scripture in Christian Apologetics
    The Journal of Ministry & Theology 50 The Inerrancy and Authority of Scripture in Christian Apologetics Lee Allen Anderson Jr. INTRODUCTION Scripture’s call to Christians to engage in the apologetic task is markedly obvious. For example, 1 Peter 3:15 instructs believers to always be “ready to make a defense (ἀπολογίαν) to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you.” Similarly, Jude 3 exhorts Christians to “contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints.” Here, the “faith” refers not to the subjective element of personal trust in the Lord God, but instead to that “body of truth that very early in the church’s history took on a definite form,” that is, the content of Christian faith—doctrinal truth (cf. Gal 1:23; 1 Tim 4:1).1 Implicit in this verse, therefore, is the acknowledgment of the fact that a certain body of doctrinal truth exists, which in turn implies a source or origin for that doctrinal truth. For the Christian, the principle, authoritative source of doctrinal truth is the “God-breathed” holy Scriptures (2 Tim 3:16). The reliability of Scripture as a standard for Christian doctrine hinges on the fact that, as the inspired word of the true God who does not lie (Num 23:19; Titus 1:2; Heb 6:18), it is wholly true (Ps 119:160; John 17:17). To echo the words of the longstanding affirmation of the Evangelical Theological Society, “The Bible alone, and the Bible in its entirety, is the Word of God written and is therefore inerrant in the autographs.”2 This affirmation is not a peripheral issue to Christian theology; it is germane to the life of the church and, of logical consequence, the upholding of the Christian faith.

  • Preaching Christ from the Old Testament: a Response to Daniel Block, Elliott Johnson, and Vern Poythress Aubrey Sequeira
    Preaching Christ from the Old Testament: A Response to Daniel Block, Elliott Johnson, and Vern Poythress Aubrey Sequeira Aubrey Sequeira is Associate Pastor at the Evangelical Community Church of Abu Dhabi and a professor of Bible and Theology at the Gulf Training Center in Dubai. He earned his PhD in Biblical Theology and Old Testament from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky where his focus was on the NT use of the OT in the book of Hebrews. Introduction As a pastor of a large international evangelical church in the Middle East, I find it impossible to understate the primacy and centrality of faithful expository preaching in the life and worship of God’s people. It is through the faithful and regular preaching of the Scriptures that the Lord gathers his redeemed from every tribe, tongue, and nation; unites them as his covenant people; feeds and nurtures them into maturity; and equips them for ministry and witness. Given the centrality of preaching for the life of God’s church, it is imperative for Christ’s under-shepherds to know what the task of expository preaching entails—what does it mean to declare the “whole counsel of God?” In particular, what does it mean to proclaim the “whole counsel of God” when preaching the Old Testament (OT)? The discussion on preaching Christ from the OT is not merely an academic SBJT 22.3 (2018): 181-195 181 The Southern Baptist Journal of Theology 22.3 (2018) debate. Rather, it is an issue at the heart of pastoral ministry that deeply affects the health of local churches globally.

  • Redeeming Philosophy: a God-Centered Approach to the Big Questions Copyright © 2014 by Vern S
    REDEEMING PHILOSOPHY REDEEMING WHO AM I? WHY AM I HERE? WHERE DO I FIND MEANING? Life is full of big questions. The study of philosophy seeks to answer such questions. In his latest book, prolific author Vern Poythress investigates the foundations and limitations of Western philosophy, sketching a distinctly Christian approach to A God-Centered Approach answering basic questions about the nature of humanity, the existence of God, the search for meaning, and the basis for morality. to the Big Questions For Christians eager to engage with the timeless philosophical issues that have perplexed men and women for millennia, this is the place to begin. “This volume makes a timely and welcome contribution to the age-old debate on the relationship between Christian theology and philosophy. I commend Redeeming Philosophy to all concerned with ‘taking every thought captive to obey Christ.’” RICHARD B. GAFFIN JR., Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary “Poythress has again gotten it right. This book contains a great deal of fresh thinking and REDEEMING careful Christian philosophical work.” JOHN M. FRAME, J. D.

  • Premillennialism and Hermeneutics * * *
    MSJ 29/2 (Fall 2018) 127–55 PREMILLENNIALISM AND HERMENEUTICS Brad Klassen Associate Professor of Bible Exposition The Master’s Seminary The purpose of this article is to identify the primary hermeneutical issues at the center of the divide over eschatology, while providing a brief premillennial response to each. The first of these issues concerns the legitimacy of literal interpretation with respect to prophetic texts. The second concerns the function of progressive revelation and the relationship of subsequent revelation to antecedent revelation. The third con- cerns the influence of presupposition, particularly as it relates to the analogy of faith and the impact of Platonic dualism on the Christian’s approach to Scripture. * * * * * Introduction Discussions about biblical eschatology—the study of the Bible’s teaching about future things—divide over one pivotal event: the timing of the second coming of Jesus Christ. In particular, disagreement over this central piece in God’s redemptive plan relates to what the apostle John described as a “thousand-year” reign of the Messiah in Revelation 20:1–6.1 Three general positions developed throughout church history. First, the oldest view of the church, premillennialism,2 contends that the second coming of Christ occurs prior to (“pre-”) the millennium described by John.3 In other words, premillennialism teaches that Christ will return in order to establish a physical kingdom on earth as described by a non-figurative interpretation of Revelation 20:1– 1 The phrase “thousand years” (χίλια ἔτη) is repeated six times in Revelation 20:1–7. The term “chiliasm” is derived from the Greek adjective χίλια (chilia, “thousand”).

    JETS 59/4 (2016): 813–89 BOOK REVIEWS God’s Kingdom Through God’s Covenant: A Concise Biblical Theology. By Peter J. Gentry and Stephen J. Wellum. Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2015, 300 pp., $19.99 paper. Peter Gentry and Stephen Wellum’s new volume offers a refreshing and in- novative guide to the study of the biblical covenant (GoD’s covenant) relating to God’s kingdom in light of a biblical-theological hermeneutic. The work contrasts in this regarD with Michael Horton’s God of Promise: Introducing Covenant Theology (Baker, 2006) and Craig A. Blaising and Darrell Bock’s Progressive Dispensationalism (Baker, 2000). Gentry and Wellum treat the biblical covenant as a foundation for interpret- ing biblical theology and its systematic implications. This presupposition seems to preclude both dispensational and covenant theologies from properly understanDing the biblical covenant and its implications. This paperback, a somewhat conDensed version of the authors’ larger related volume (Crossway, 2012), attempts to present a proper biblical replacement for shortcomings of dispensational and covenant theologies. The authors assert that “the covenants are at the heart of the narrative plot structure” (p. 52) and call their approach “kingDom through covenant” or “pro- gressive covenantalism” (p. 19). In light of this approach, this book provides an outcome of interaction with biblical exegesis, theology, and systematic theology (p. 11), which provides a provocative and insightful way to unDerstanD reDemptive history and emphasize the role of new covenant work of Christ (p. 263). This book is divided into three sections. In the first section, “Introduction,” the authors discuss the importance of biblical covenant, the difference between dispensationalism and covenant theology, and hermeneutical issues.

  • Toward a Reformed Theological Interpretation of Scripture
    Jurnal Teologi Indonesia 1/1 (Juli 2013): 103-116 Toward a Reformed Theological Interpretation of Scripture Nathaniel Gray Sutanto Abstract The purpose of this paper is to expound the contemporary discussion on the theological interpretation of Scripture and its relationship to epistemology. The theological interpretation of Scripture is a recent movement, endorsed by key figures such as Christopher Seitz, Stephen Fowl, John Webster and Kevin Vanhoozer, partly in response to the modern bent towards historical-criticism in biblical exegesis. It is also stemming from the desire to read Scripture with and for the church while rediscovering the merits of pre-critical methods of reading. This paper, specifically, will suggest that the theological interpretation of Scripture is epistemically justifiable if one adopts the Reformed epistemology of Alvin Plantinga, and that it is the obligatory method if one is committed to a Presuppositional (or Covenantal) epistemology, as held by Cornelius Van Til. It is thus fruitful to rethink the relationship between philosophy, theology, and exegesis in light of this observation. Roadmap This paper will begin by expositing the two epistemological commitments of Van Til and Plantinga, and will henceforth exposit the project of the theological interpretation of Scripture. I will then show how the epistemological commitments (or parts of their epistemological frameworks) of Van Til and Plantinga have direct implications to hermeneutics and argue that a theological posture (and not merely a historical posture) towards hermeneutics and the reading of Scripture is a posture that is obligatory once one adopts Van Til’s epistemology and justifiable if one adopts Plantinga’s epistemology.

    JETS 47/4 (December 2004) 689–749 BOOK REVIEWS The Book Study Concordance of the Greek New Testament. By Andreas Köstenberger and Raymond Bouchoc. Nashville: Broadman & Holman, 2003, viii + 1528 pp., $59.00. Release of a variety of uniquely helpful study tools in recent years has facilitated work on the Greek NT. To their number Andreas Köstenberger and Raymond Bouchoc have added this compilation of Greek concordances for each book of the NT. The Book Study Concordance does not replace conventional concordances, such as the Konkordanz zum Novum Testamentum Graece or The Exhaustive Concordance to the Greek New Tes- tament, but rather plays a complementary role, filling a niche by offering a clearer view of each NT book’s vocabulary. Following a brief introduction, the authors present each NT book in canonical order. The format begins with basic statistics, including total word count, the number of words occurring at least ten times, and the number of words occurring once. Then, in descend- ing order, words are listed, with a transliteration and English gloss, according to per- centage of use in relation to the NT as a whole. Each percentage group also is displayed in descending order according to the number of occurrences, and each Greek term is preceded by two numbers, the first representing uses in the book itself, and the second the number of uses in the entire NT. For instance, tavlanton is the first entry in Matthew under those words that account for 100% of the occurrences in the NT. The numbers “14/14” preceding the Greek term stand for, respectively, 14 uses in Matthew and 14 uses in the NT.

  • 2011-2012 03 2NT522 Hebrews to Revelation
    SNT522/01 Hebrews through Revelation Winter 2012 @ RTS/Orlando Jan. 17-21 8:00am – 5:00pm Course Syllabus, v. 1.2 ••• Reggie M. Kidd, MDiv, PhD [email protected] The primary goal of the course is to explore the content, theology, pastoral thrust, and critical issues surrounding the last nine books of the New Testament. This is a richly diverse set of books. Two issues have circulated around these books: how united and how diverse were churches and indeed Christian theology in the first century? and what right do some of these documents have to canonical status alongside the gospels and Pauline epistles? Therefore, in addition to looking at the letters by themselves, we will be considering them against the backdrop of two broad theological motifs: so-called “early catholicism” and canonicity. Criteria for Evaluation 10% Completing all course readings (including the biblical texts at least 3x through) — simply indicate to me the percentage of readings you have managed to complete by the time you turn in your last paper. 90% Three papers (about 2500 words per paper — about 6 or so pages, Times Roman Font at 12 point, double spaced) Reading/Writing Assignment You have some latitude here. Select three of the books (or groups — e.g., 2Pt/Jd or 1, 2 & 3 John together) and write about what each book/group brings to your ministry situation. That’s three books/groups and three papers. And I’m looking for. I realize library resources are limited, and I envision these to be papers you can largely write on the basis of our class time, your course readings and online resources.
