  • Exegetical Fallacies: Common Interpretive Mistakes Every Student Must Avoid
    TMSJ 19/1 (Spring 2008) 15-27 EXEGETICAL FALLACIES: COMMON INTERPRETIVE MISTAKES EVERY STUDENT MUST AVOID William D. Barrick Professor of Old Testament Students of the Bible often make mistakes that can be avoided if they are aware of errors that others have committed. One of the errors is the “Evidential Fallacy” which fails to approach the text with the presumption that it is accurate. Another mistake is the “Superior Knowledge Fallacy” which occurs when one, in approaching difficult texts, practices textual emendation to accommodate the critic’s ignorance. A third mistake is the “Word Study Fallacy” which uses imaginative extrapolations to find unjustified meanings in individual words. The “Fallacy of Reading Between the Lines” reads into the Scriptures what one thinks the text implies. Another mistake occurs in improper explanations of the two tenses of Hebrew verbs, the perfect (or qatal) and the imperfect (or yiqtol). Occasionally in the NT, the “Fallacy of Ignoring Particles” causes an interpreter to miss emphasis that is conveyed by Greek particles. Sometimes a translation leaves out words found in the original language causing the “Fallacy of Reduction.” Correct interpretation results from close attention to details of the text in avoiding the mistakes mentioned above, as well as others. * * * * * Introduction Over twenty years ago, D. A. Carson published his volume entitled Exegeti- cal Fallacies (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1984). In it he covers the areas of word-study fallacies, grammatical fallacies, logical fallacies, and presuppositional and historical fallacies. This writer believes that the book should be required reading for every Bible student. Although Carson might be faulted in his own exegesis for some of the examples he employs, he does a respectable job of covering the issues.

  • Conservative Presbyterians Without a Common Foe by D
    Article After the Breakup, Heartbreak: Conservative Presbyterians without a Common Foe by D. G. Hart In the 1930s, conservatives in the PCUSA believed that their cause against liberalism in the denominations’ agencies provided a common understanding of what it meant to be a Presbyterian in America. But once these conservatives formed their own communion, they experienced a series of controversies that revealed significant differences about the nature of American Presbyterianism. These conflicts, in fact, led to further divisions among conser- vatives. This article reviews the difficulties that afflicted the Orthodox Presbyterian Church during the first decade of its existence after 1936 and suggests that having a common foe is insufficient for agreement on a common identity. n June 11, 1936, J.

  • The Shepherd Student
    WRS Journal 12:2 (August 2005): 27-36 THE SHEPHERD STUDENT Earl L. Brown, Jr. Breath of Breath1 says Qoheleth,2 the whole is breath. Not only was Qoheleth wise but he also taught knowledge to the people; he studiously weighed3 and arranged many proverbs. Qoheleth sought to find delightful words,4 and to write true words with precision.5 The words of the sages are like prods, and the collected sayings are like firmly fixed nails; they are given by one shepherd6 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. There is no end to the making of many books, and much study is wearisome to the body.7 Having heard everything, I have reached this conclusion. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will evaluate every deed, including every secret thing, whether good or evil. Ecclesiastes 12:8-14 [Brown adaptation of NET Bible8] The text set before us is not only the key to the interpretation of the book, but it accurately coalesces the convergent philosophy of life as a précis of the life of Solomon,9 as it is paraphrased in the lives of Robert Dick Wilson, Allan MacRae, and Robert W. Anderson.10 Life Transitions: From Solomon to Jesus, From David’s Son to David’s Greater Son Solomon was the Old Covenant prototype for the masterful Shepherd Student. Unlike Solomon, however, Jesus learned in his earthly human nature, obedience “through the things which he suffered” (Heb 5:8). It is in this capacity that Christ in the New Covenant provides a superior Shepherd and student (see 1 Pet 2:21).

  • Scripture As Talisman, Specimen, and Dragoman
    JETS 50/1 (March 2007) 3–30 SCRIPTURE AS TALISMAN, SPECIMEN, AND DRAGOMAN edwin m. yamauchi* I would like to call attention to three contrasting attitudes towards the Jewish and Christian Scriptures by my title. Scripture as Talisman repre- sents the use of Scriptures by believers with little knowledge of the original setting of the texts, which are used at times for magical ends and at other times are followed literally without regard to their original contexts. Scripture as Specimen represents the critical analysis of the texts by skeptical scholars who view them simply as objects of academic study without faith in their value as divine revelation. Scripture as Dragoman or “interpreter” represents the scholarly study of Scripture by believers such as ETS members, who seek guidance through careful inquiry into the original setting of the texts to de- termine their significance for us today. According to Anthony C. Thiselton, Even if, for the moment, we leave out of account the modern reader’s historical conditionedness, we are still faced with the undeniable fact that if a text is to be understood there must occur an engagement between two sets of horizons (to use Gadamer’s phrase), namely those of the ancient text and those of the modern reader or hearer.1 i. scripture as talisman 2 Magic is still quite prevalent in many places of the world today such as the Caribbean and Africa.3 The world of the Bible was a world pervaded by belief in magic.4 There are some alleged cases of magic in the OT and in the * Edwin M.

  • Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy with Exposition
    Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy with Exposition Background The "Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy" was produced at an international Summit Conference of evangelical leaders, held at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Chicago in the fall of 1978. This congress was sponsored by the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy. The Chicago Statement was signed by nearly 300 noted evangelical scholars, including James Boice, Norman L. Geisler, John Gerstner, Carl F. H. Henry, Kenneth Kantzer, Harold Lindsell, John Warwick Montgomery, Roger Nicole, J. I. Packer, Robert Preus, Earl Radmacher, Francis Schaeffer, R. C. Sproul, and John Wenham. The ICBI disbanded in 1988 after producing three major statements: one on biblical inerrancy in 1978, one on biblical hermeneutics in 1982, and one on biblical application in 1986. The following text, containing the "Preface" by the ICBI draft committee, plus the "Short Statement," "Articles of Affirmation and Denial," and an accompanying "Exposition," was published in toto by Carl F. H. Henry in God, Revelation And Authority, vol. 4 (Waco, Tx.: Word Books, 1979), on pp. 211-219. The nineteen Articles of Affirmation and Denial, with a brief introduction, also appear in A General Introduction to the Bible, by Norman L. Geisler and William E. Nix (Chicago: Moody Press, rev. 1986), at pp. 181-185. An official commentary on these articles was written by R. C. Sproul in Explaining Inerrancy: A Commentary (Oakland, Calif.: ICBI, 1980), and Norman Geisler edited the major addresses from the 1978 conference, in Inerrancy (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1980). Clarification of some of the language used in this Statement may be found in the 1982 Chicago Statement on Biblical Hermeneutics The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy Preface The authority of Scripture is a key issue for the Christian church in this and every age.

  • Life and Work of Robert Dick Wilson
    TMSJ 19/1 (Spring 2008) 91-106 LIFE AND WORK OF ROBERT DICK WILSON Brian Nicks* At a time when his denomination and seminary were turning away from conservative, orthodox views of the Bible, Robert Dick Wilson felt called to challenge respected scholars in their Higher Criticism of Scripture. As a child and young man, he showed remarkable academic abilities, particularly in learning new languages. He attended Western Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh, and while a student there, he learned and taught a number of languages. He demonstrated effectiveness as a preacher and evangelist, but chose to become a teacher because of his linguistic abilities. After studying Semitic languages in Europe for a time, he returned to join the faculty at Western Theological Seminary. In 1900, he left Western to become a professor at Princeton Theological Seminary, a role that he held until 1929 when he left to help in founding Westminster Theological Seminary. He authored a number of articles and books related to the twenty-six languages and dialects he had learned. His writings were particularly noted for their effectiveness in answering higher critical attacks on the authenticity of the OT, particularly the Book of Daniel. He died on October 11, 1930. * * * * * INTRODUCTION The historicity, authenticity, and authority of the Bible are under attack on every front these days. Fiction works distort the truth of Christianity, denying the historicity of the Bible. Christian fiction is replacing theology on the bookshelves of churchgoers. Books that rip Scriptures from their historical and biblical contexts are being elevated to pseudo-scripture status. Self-help books with an amazing number of biblical references are being sold to help people find their purpose in life.

Many of the books were about Bible study, theology, discipleship, Church history and apologetics. The response was almost always positive, so I decided to review books online to help even more students know about books that would both inform and challenge. Most of the books I review are new or of recent origin. Book Review Volume III is the third in a series about books on the primary subject of “Apologetics” on FaithandSelfDefense.com. Another series you may find helpful is A Reading Plan For Christian Apologists, also on FaithandSelfDefense.com.

  • The Principle of Single Meaning
    MSJ 29/1 (Spring 2018) 5–19 THE PRINCIPLE OF SINGLE MEANING Robert L. Thomas (Originally published Spring 2001) That a single passage has one meaning and one meaning only has been a long- established principle of biblical interpretation. Among evangelicals, recent viola- tions of that principle have multiplied. Violations have included those by Clark Pin- nock with his insistence on adding “future” meanings to historical meanings of a text, Mikel Neumann and his expansion of the role of contextualization, Greg Beale and Grant Osborne and their views about certain features of Revelation 11, recent works on hermeneutics and their advocacy of multiple meanings for a single passage, Kenneth Gentry and his preterist views on Revelation, and Progressive Dispensa- tionalism with its promotion of “complementary” hermeneutics. The single-meaning principle is of foundational importance in understanding God’s communication with mankind, just as it has been since the creation of the human race. The entrance of sin in Genesis 3 brought a confusion in this area that has continued ever since. * * * * * Many years ago, Milton S. Terry laid down a basic hermeneutical principle that contemporary evangelicals have difficulty observing. That is the principle of single meaning: A fundamental principle in grammatico-historical exposition is that the words and sentences can have but one significance in one and the same connection. The moment we neglect this principle we drift out upon a sea of uncertainty and conjecture.1 1 Milton S. Terry, Biblical Hermeneutics, 2nd ed. (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, n.d.), 205.

Conceived in controversy, the first copy issued from the presses on October 7, 1935. Machen spearheaded the publication of the Guardian with the assistance of a group of ministers and laymen in the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (PCUSA). The proximate cause of the Guardian was the disagreement between Machen and Dr. Samuel G. Craig, editor of Christianity Today (1930-1949). The nether cause was Machen's escalating struggle with modernism in the PCUSA. Machen had led in the formation of the Presbyterian Constitutional Covenant Union which was organized June 27, 1935 in Philadelphia. This group was committed to: (1) reform of the PCUSA; or (2) "failing that, to continue the true spiritual succession of that church in a body distinct from the existing organization." Dr. Craig had editorially questioned the wisdom of such a Union in the September 1935 issue of Christianity Today.

  • Carl FH Henry (1913–2003) and Kenneth S. Kantzer
    Activist Scholar and Entrepreneurial Administrator: The Contributions of Carl F. H. Henry and Kenneth S. Kantzer to Evangelical Theological Education Stephen R. Spencer, theological and cataloging librarian, North Park University, Chicago, Illinois arl F. H. Henry (1913–2003) and Kenneth S. Kantzer (1917– 2002) rank among the most prominent American evangelical theological educators of the second half of the twentieth century.1 CIn one respect, the two men share significant similarities: both were doctoral students in Boston in the 1940s, Henry at Boston University and Kantzer at Harvard; both taught at Wheaton College, even sharing office space at one point; and both served as editors of the evangelical magazine Christianity Today.2 However, in their primary contributions, Henry and Kantzer differ significantly. Henry was a professor and prolific journalist and author who gratefully records being “divinely diverted from administrative work” in the 1940s, despite several close calls.3 Kantzer, 1 An earlier version of this paper was presented at a meeting of the Chicago Area Theological Library Association on April 24, 2015, examining the history of theological education in the greater Chicago area, where both Henry and Kantzer invested years of service. 2 Henry was founding editor from 1956 to 1968; Kantzer was the third editor, from 1978 to 1982. See “Message from the Publisher,” Christianity Today, April 7, 1978, 3; “Editor’s Note,” Christianity Today, October 22, 1982, 4. 3 See Carl F.H. Henry, Confessions of a Theologian: An Autobiography (Waco, TX: Word, 1986), 110, for his “divinely diverted” comment. The specific offices and institutions (all Baptist) were academic dean of Gordon Divinity School in Boston (Confessions, 107) and president of both Sioux Falls College in South Dakota and Western Baptist Theological Seminary in Portland, Oregon (Henry, Confessions, 109–10).

  • 17-Campbell JET 43.2\287-302
    JETS 43/2 (June 2000) 287–301 RELIGION AND CULTURE: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS IN THE NEXT GENERATION GEORGE VAN PELT CAMPBELL* Every generation of Christians faces its own challenges and prospects in God’s providence. The last generation of evangelicals, lead by such people as Carl F. H. Henry, Kenneth S. Kantzer, and Billy Graham, sponsored numer- ous initiatives intended to address the urgencies of their day. These included the founding of the National Association of Evangelicals (1942), the Evan- gelical Theological Society (1949), and the journal Christianity Today (1956), all of which accomplished positions of their founders’ visions. As we look forward to the next generation, what are the challenges and the prospects which stand before evangelical scholars? The purpose of this article is to assess those challenges which are most urgent for the integrity and eˆectiveness of evangelicalism in, and in relation to, American culture in the next generation. While there are certainly many things evangelical scholars can and must do which are here assumed, my distinctive proposals can be summa- rized under three headings. We must address issues related to the common good, the common man, and a common voice. I. THE COMMON GOOD 1. We must face the common issues raised by globalization. If we as evangelical scholars are going to speak to our world and to our culture in the future, rather than just to ourselves, we must concern ourselves with facing and giving Christian responses to common problems which aˆect the common good. One such set of problems is raised by globalization. There are two broad ways in which we can and should address issues raised by globalization (or globality, as it is more and more commonly called).
