Missionary-scholar Robert Menzies looks at what one China scholar says about recent changes in religious policy in China: this is not an attempt to make churches more Chinese. Rather, this is a move to politically domesticate the church in China. Despite this, there are reasons for hope. Fenggang Yang, “Xi Jinping is Not Trying to Make Christianity More Chinese” Christianity Today (Jan 16, 2024).

One of the many developments that has caused our engagement with Christian hymns and songs to change over recent decades is the demise of the hymn book. The hymn book in the pew was the one source of a congregation’s singing repertoire.

AbstractMenzies responds to Tupamahu’s post-colonial critique of the Pentecostal reading of Acts and the missionary enterprise. According to Tupamahu, the disciples are marginalized Galileans who move from the periphery to the center of the Roman world. Thus, white American Pentecostals need to rethink their vision of the expansionist mission.

At the crux of the problem in the scholarship of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets in the past thirty years is whether these twelve books should be read as distinct texts or as a unified book. This edited volume, guided by two experienced Old Testament scholars, is one of the most recent forays into the research on the Book of the Twelve. Notwithstanding this crux in the Twelve, this book delves into a surprisingly rich and diverse range of topics.

Beeke and Reeves’s Following God Fully was not written to create fresh interest in the Puritans: that interest has already existed since the 1950s when evangelical leaders such as D. M. Lloyd Jones (d. 1981) and his then-collaborator, J. I. Packer (d. 2020), began to draw attention to the neglected resources the Puritans had left us. There had been a similar Puritan resurgence in the first half of the nineteenth century.

AbstractIn this article, I argue that John provides a window into the mechanics of how Jesus’s death saves, and this window is his use of the OT. When interpreters look through this window and ask how John understands Jesus’ death, our eyes are caused—by the passages John chose—to see substitutionary atonement as essential to the inner mechanism of how Jesus’s death saves.

AbstractThis article seeks to construct a biblical theology of gender based on Geerhardus Vos’s magisterial Biblical Theology. The essay first sets forth five hallmarks of Vos’s method: (1) putting God first; (2) focus on the text; (3) viewing Scripture as progressive divine revelation; (4) displaying a historical orientation; and (5) a belief in the practical utility of biblical theology.

AbstractThis article argues that the One God of the Old Testament and Judaism is exactly the same God as the Trinitarian God of the New Testament and Christian creeds. The standpoint presupposed is that of the orthodox biblical teachings on the Trinity expressed in the Nicene and Athanasian creeds.

AbstractPostmillennialism had been pronounced dead when R. J. Rushdoony and his fellow Reconstructionists resuscitated it in 1977 with stimulating though non-exegetical publications. In the following decades, many in Rushdoony’s train added innovative biblical arguments whose interpretive methods do not withstand scrutiny.
