Bulletin for Biblical Research, 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
“The present essay is concerned with the relation of the proclamation of the kingdom of God and the exorcisms. It is argued that these elements are closely linked, for the exorcisms demonstrate the reality of the presence of the kingdom (or rule) of God.” (Page 49)
“The thesis of the present study is that Jesus’ activity of exorcism was an essential component of his proclamation and ministry, clarifying the import of his proclamation and providing tangible evidence of its validity.” (Page 50)
“In sum, in Scripture God is understood as king, as ruling over a kingdom (which is understood as his presence and sphere of glory and power). The rule of God is regarded as the content of the ‘good news,’ and it is a rule that is anticipated soon, as the grand finale of all human kingdoms. It is also a rule that has and will encounter deadly opposition from Satan—whose name means ‘opponent’—and his allies. For God’s rule to triumph, Satan’s rule will have to be shattered.” (Page 55)
“The present essay argues that the exorcisms signify the reduction and destruction of Satan’s kingdom, as God’s kingdom breaks into the world.” (Page 49)
“Second, we find in Daniel several important aspects of the reign of God. Whereas Isaiah speaks of the powerful, saving presence of God, Daniel speaks of the soon triumph of God’s kingdom over the evil, oppressive kingdoms that persecute and enslave his people. Daniel’s message brings distinctive dynamic, cosmic, and temporal elements.” (Page 53)
