Overview

Theological journals are a tremendous resource for biblical studies. However, anyone who has searched for copies of theological journals knows that they are difficult to find and impossible to buy. Even if you are fortunate enough to have a library of journals in print form, they take up lots of shelf space. With the print editions, finding a topic or Scripture reference can be difficult. The Theological Journal Library combines several of the best conservative, scholarly, evangelical journals and classic works on church history. This massive set allows you to rapidly search through each title for specific words, phrases, topics, authors, or passages.

Top Highlights

“In sum, theologians of the Old Testament see the law as one might a rainbow with several hues of dominant color. First, understood in terms of its source, law is good. It derives from God, who by means of it discloses his will. Second, understood in terms of its recipient, law shapes, orders, and demarcates a community. The Torah is an identity marker specifying what it means to be a holy people. Third, understood in terms of its purpose, embrace of law is tantamount to embrace of Yahweh and results in life.” (Pages 10–11)

“The message is a theological one. It presents a picture of God that encourages hope for grace even when the sentence has already been passed.” (Page 56)

“God’s compassion leads Him to gracious acts of deliverance if only Israel, or we, will move in the right direction.^{35” (Page 57)}

“J. D. W. Watts who saw Jonah’s anger as a response to the ‘tension between belief in a God of justice and a God of grace.” (Page 51)

“The important characteristic of both Nineveh’s repentance and Jonah’s hut is their insufficiency” (Page 53)
