Southern Baptist Journal of Theology, Volume 15
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
“This prehistory grounds the call of Abraham by showing how all human beings are related, and therefore equally in need of God’s blessing, and equally reachable with that blessing. Abraham is God’s answer to this universal need (Gen 12:1–3): he is to be the vehicle of blessing to ‘all the families of the earth,’ starting the family through which all mankind, which is now estranged from God, will come to know the true God.” (Volume 15, Number 1, Page 11)
“All of this allows us to see that Genesis has focused on the ways in which God has made new starts after Adam and Eve: with Noah, and then with Abram and his offspring. We can then say that Noah and Abram are ‘new Adams,’ which shows how fully Genesis 1 is integrated into the narrative whole.” (Volume 15, Number 1, Page 6)
“‘it is not good that the man should be alone’ in 2:18 jars with the ‘very good’ of 1:31. Reading them together in this way shows us that chapter 2 has not reached the point of 1:31 until the man and the woman have become one flesh. Once we get to 2:25, with the man and woman naked and not ashamed, we breathe a sigh of relief: we are now at the point where it is all ‘very good.’” (Volume 15, Number 1, Page 9)
“At the same time, as is widely known, there are important differences between Genesis 1–11 and the Mesopotamian prehistories. The way the stories are told conveys very different stances toward the divine, the world, and man’s calling. The Mesopotamian prehistories do in places suggest that the gods created a group of first humans.” (Volume 15, Number 1, Page 10)
“celebrate as a great achievement God’s work of fashioning the world as a suitable place for humans to live.” (Volume 15, Number 1, Page 9)
