PUGH Pastor, Liberty Free Will Baptist Church Millington, Tennessee ANDREW BALL M.A. Candidate in Philosophy, University of Windsor Windsor, Ontario, Canada ROBERT E. PICIRILLI Professor Emeritus, Free Will Baptist Bible College Nashville, Tennessee Introduction This is the fifth issue of Integrity, my second as editor. It offers an inter- esting variety of articles, beginning with an extraordinary sermon by Jonathan Edwards. That he has been dead for two hundred fifty years, and represented a fellowship of churches very different from that which sponsors this journal, takes nothing away from the living Word of God which the sermon presents with power. Following the sermon are two articles that focus on the Old Testament: one presents an insightful survey of the theology of First and Second Chronicles; the other zeroes in on Isaiah 34:14 and grapples with the translation of key words there. Then come three articles on New Testament matters. The first consid- ers the problems involved in assigning specific dates to events in the life of Jesus. The second provides an introduction to a live issue in contem- porary New Testament scholarship: namely, the so-called “New Perspective on Paul.” The third gives exegetical attention to the doxolo- gy in Revelation 5:12 and draws from it timeless principles for worship. The last two articles treat theological issues. One searches the writings of Arminius for his doctrine of natural law, important to a Christian’s concept of human responsibility and government. The other, being a sem- inar sponsored by the Commission for Theological Integrity (the pub- lisher of this journal), responds to the newest form of charismatic teach- ing. Supplementing these articles are reviews of eighteen books, selected because their titles and subject-matter suggested that people in ministry might find them helpful. In a few cases, the reviewers found them disap- pointing, but for most they concluded that the books were worth recom- mending. All in all, then, the current issue of Integrity offers a wide vari- ety of reading that will inform, challenge, and stimulate our readers. Saying this causes me to focus, once again, on the nature of this ven- ture we call Integrity. Most of our readers are pastors in the sponsoring fellowship of churches. These are the people who are primarily in our minds as we select articles and books for review. Our aim is that each issue of this journal will serve to contribute to the intellectual and spiri- tual growth of people in ministry, that it will promote “sanctified schol- arship” among our readers. I have often said that we need more scholarship in our ranks. But the scholarship we need must be truly sanctified, anchored by the conviction that the Bible is God’s infallible Word and driven by the intention to pro- mote godly Christian living and effective evangelism. The success of this 8 INTEGRITY: A JOURNAL OF CHRISTIAN THOUGHT journal must be measured in those terms. Special thanks are due to Randall House Publications, Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College, and Free Will Baptist Bible College for the financial sponsorship that makes this publication possible. In the Introduction to the previous issue (2008) I made some observa- tions about how one goes about getting an article published here. What I said there is undergoing some change as a result of the fact that the Commission is making some adjustments to its annual theological sym- posium. Consequently, our search for articles is not so closely tied to those events. We appeal, therefore, to anyone in our fellowship to submit articles for consideration. Indeed, this is a call for articles, and I address it especially—but not exclusively—to our men and women who are engaged in graduate studies of a Biblical, theological, or ministry nature. An article should be submitted to the editor, preferably as an

  • 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.

    inerrancy serious Bible readers all recognize that there are differences between accounts of the same events in matthew, mark, luke, and John, and no responsible reader can simply sweep these differences under the rug. But can each unique account still be reconciled with a belief in biblical inerrancy? inerrancy responding to the questions surrounding the gospel narratives, new testament scholar Vern poythress provides an informed and case for inerrancy in the gospels and helps readers understand basic principles for harmonization. he also tackles some of the and most complicated exegetical problems, showing the way forward on passages that have perplexed many, including the centurion’s gospels the servant, the cursing of the fig tree, and more. all those interested in the authority of scripture will find in the gospels this volume great encouragement and insight as poythress has provided an arresting case to stem the tide of skepticism. a god-centered approach to “this is a study well worth reading and considering, regardless of whether one accepts the self-authenticating model or not.” the challenges of darrell l.

    ordained servant march 2018 islam revisited Ordained Servant Online A Journal for Church Officers E-ISSN 1931-7115 CURRENT ISSUE: ISLAM REVISITED March 2018 From the Editor Confronted daily with the growing presence of Islam in the Western world, it is incumbent upon Christians to understand Islam in all its complexity through serious study of accurate sources. As John Muether reminds us in the lead article this month, “The Reformed Faith and the Challenge of Islam,” unless we read more widely our view of Islam will be formed by the militant Muslims constantly in the news. Muether’s goal is to “supplement Dr. Estelle’s helpful article [“How Should the Reformed Church Respond to Islam?” published in Ordained Servant in 2008] by pointing out some strategies that are popular but may be counterproductive and even a hindrance to faithful Christian witness to the Muslim world.” Muether demonstrates the importance of the Reformed faith in missions to Islam by quoting missionary and Princeton Theological Seminary professor Samuel Zwemer (1867–1952), “only the Reformed faith can witness effectively to Islam.” Bryan Estelle reviews two important new books on Islam: Mindy Belz, They Say We Are Infidels and Darío Fernández-Morera, The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise. Belz presents a heart-rending, first-hand picture of the situation of Christians in Iraq and Syria. Fernández-Morera’s primary goal is to debunk the myth that has arisen in the modern world that the Muslim world in Medieval Spain, . was a space where Jews (mostly Sephardic), Christians, and Muslims lived in mutual tolerance and peaceful multiculturalism under Islamic rule.

  • The Presbyterian Separatist Movement
    We, the members of this Covenant Union, are resolved, in accor- dance with God‟s Word, and in humble reliance upon His grace, to maintain the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., (1) making every effort to bring about a reform of the existing church organization, and to restore the Church‟s clear and glorious Christian testimony, which Modernism and indifferentism have now so grievously silenced, but (2) if such efforts fail and in particular if the tyrannical policy of the present majority triumphs, holding ourselves ready to perpetuate the true Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., regardless of cost. Constitutional Covenant Union (1935) 6 The Presbyterian Separatist Movement S the modernist-indifferentist grip upon the Presby- terian Church in the U.S.A. grew ever tighter in the A years immediately following the reorganization of Princeton in 1929, the fundamentalists were faced with the question as to what their ultimate relationship to the Church would be. Most decided to stay in a Church controlled by modernists. Some stayed no doubt for personal reasons, others were strongly influenced by the modernist view of the Church, and still others had some hope of reform from with- in. However, there was a small movement which under the leadership of J. Gresham Machen led to a new Presbyterian church organization in 1936. Thus the prophetic utterance of B. B. Warfield that there- would be no great split in the Church was borne out by the course of events. At the same time, the hope of a new begin- ning was realized in the Presbyterian Separatist Movement under Machen‟s leadership.1 An understanding of this move- ment and its development in the 1930‟s is essential to under- stand the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Synod.

  • “This Book Is the Best That I Know of in Demonstrating Exegetically That The
    “This book is the best that I know of in demonstrating exegetically that the parallels drawn by Paul between Adam and Christ (as the Last Adam) necessitate viewing not only Christ as a historical figure but also the first Adam as an actual historical figure. The argument is made persuasively and convincingly that, if one concludes that the first Adam was not historical, then one should be driven to the conclusion that Jesus as the Last Adam was not historical!the latter conclusion even very few unbelieving scholars would be willing to hold. Other references to Adam outside of Paul in the New Testament are also discussed, and the same conclusion is convincingly reached about the historicity of the first Adam. One might not agree with everything said about other issues outside of the Adam-Christ topic, but the conclusions reached about Adam and Christ are sane, sober, and reliable.” ! Gregory K. Beale, Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology, Westminster Theiological Seminary “Many thanks for reissuing this helpful work. Among its many virtues let me mention two. First, Versteeg stresses clearly that Paul’s arguments in Romans and 1 Corinthians depend on historical sequence: Adam did something, and as a result something happened, and then Jesus came to deal with the consequences of it all. In this process both Adam and Jesus acted as representatives. Second, our view of Adam is bound up with our view of sin: is it an intruder into God’s good world (the tradi- tional position), or is it a necessary part of the creation (which denial of historical Adam entails)? Anyone reading this will appreciate that contemporary discussions of Adam are still treading the same ground.” ! C.
