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 Alistair I. Wilson, ‘21 Jack C.

As I survey this year’s journal, I see a very strong emphasis on missions, Christian ethics, Christian calling, and pastoral ministry. Manfred Kohl was one of our summer lecturers last year in Charlottetown and gave an engaging talk about the Lausanne Congress of 1974. We have included that talk here in our journal. He was a participant in that famous Christian gathering. His recounting of some personal side-stories made for a great evening. The story of the global Korean missionary movement seems generally unknown by the wider Christian community. In this volume, we have invited Soon Bok Lee to share with us about his personal call into missions and then to tell us his story of involvement in mission work in Sierra Leone. From this contemporary story, we then go to John Nymann’s historic account of William King and what was popularly known as the Buxton Mission in Canada. There are three other general articles. David Hegeman has written an excellent article on Hans Rookmaaker. If you don’t know about Hans Rookmaaker, Hegeman will introduce you to him. Greg Phillips has shared with us his exegetical study from the New Testament book of Hebrews on the priestly ministry of Jesus Christ. This would lend itself to a good devotional study or as a basis for a preaching series. And finally, my editor’s rambles on Christian social engagement combine the contemporary and the historical and include a guest inset piece by Eileen Scipione. There are 40 book reviews included once again in our journal. These are wide ranging, but, if you are interested particularly in Christian ministry, you will find a very large number under the category of applied theology. We have three academic articles in this volume. First, Steve Curtis returns (see HHJ Volumes 21/22 - 2019/2020 for previous article) and this time has written about Charles Hodge, the noted Princeton Seminary writer and professor. Second, Nathan Tarr has written a fine article about abortion 4 Haddington House Journal 2021 and the early church. Third, we have included Dave Eby’s Preaching 2 Catechism as a follow-up to his first catechism on preaching (see HHJ Volumes 21/22 - 2019/2020). These catechisms are helpful tools to use at preacher’s training or workshop days. Our cover this year is on Sierra Leone. The journal is published in Canada as a global journal. Sierra Leone is very important in Canadian Christian history because of the 1790s movement of Black Loyalists and Maroons to Sierra Leone from Nova Scotia. With Rev Lee’s articles about his calling and mission work in Sierra Leone, it is thus very fitting that this year’s cover highlights that nation. I am thankful to all of our writers. They represent a wide assortment of Christian callings as laity, pastors and ministers, and lecturers and bring a breadth of true Biblical diversity to our journal. Thank you for exercising and honing your skills as writers. Now may the Lord help and bless you in some way to be equipped, edified and enriched for His service as you read. Jack C. Whytock, Editor [email protected] The Editor’s Rambles 5 The Editor’s Rambles: Social Engagement, Missiology, Culture, and Our Christian Foundations Jack C. Whytock email: [email protected] The year 2020 was a very historic year in so many ways. There is no doubt that history will record various key events and movements from that year. One of the issues raised last year is the relationship between social engagement and the Christian faith through such movements as Black Lives Matter. It has actually polarised many Christians and brought both discussion and confusion. I would like to step back a little and raise some historical perspectives about this broad subject of Christian social engagement by tipping my hat to some examples in the history of missions and then examining these issues
