"I cannot imagine a responsible theological library
that would want to be without this journal."
D.A. Carson, Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School Since 1938, The Westminster Theological Journal has published scholarly articles and book reviews. As the first issue stated, it is "founded upon the conviction that the Holy Scriptures are the word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and of practice, and that the system of belief commonly designated the Reformed Faith is the purest and the most consistent formulation and expression of the system of truth set forth in the Holy Scriptures." (vol. 1, p. 1). Its editors are appointed by the faculty of Westminster Theological Seminary, and it has the purpose of publishing scholarly work that defends and advances understanding the Bible's teaching and its implications for the larger world. The Journal is currently edited for the faculty of Westminster Theological Seminary by Dr. Vern Poythress, Professor of New Testament Interpretation. Annual subscription rates are $35.00 for institutions, $20.00 for individuals, and $15.00 for students. Table of Contents - Spring 2009 Sample Articles Rev. James J. Cassidy, Election and Trinity The current debate among Barth scholars concerning the Swiss theologian’s understanding of the relation between the Trinity and God’s decree is as stimulating as it is potentially useful for aiding the church to advance a robust Christian doctrine of God. At the heart of the debate is this question: Does God’s being in triunity constitute his divine act of electing, or, conversely, does God’s act of election constitute his essence as the triune God? + FULL ARTICLE
Dr. Bruce K. Waltke, Revisiting Inspiration and Incarnation Professor Enns invites evangelicals to interact with his provocative ideas for sharpening theological discussion about the nature of Scripture. Upon my first reading I was struck with his commendable, unflinching honesty....Upon my second reading and more reflection, however, I questioned whether Enns’s answer helped doubters to keep the faith. This forced me to reflect more deeply upon the theologically disturbing cache of texts that Enns so helpfully collected, categorized, and then sought to resolve by his “incarnation” model of thinking about Scripture....And so in this essay I hope to collaborate with Enns in our common endeavor to assist students by offering alternative interpretations that to me are more exegetically and theologically satisfying. + FULL ARTICLE The Spring 2009 issue of the WTJ contains Dr. Waltke’s article, as well as a response by Dr. Peter Enns, and a response from Dr. Waltke to Dr. Enns’s response.
