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
