"Owen’s Scottish sermons offer... a cautionary historical case study. They highlight the continuing danger that arises when Christian proclamation becomes too closely aligned with the Cromwell or cultural tide of a prevailing political, military, or social moment." JETS 69.3

[ETSJETS.org @etsjets]

"Postmodernist relativists use perspectives to promote relativism...The core conviction in Frame’s use of perspectives is the harmony of the one & the many. The archetypal harmony is in the Trinity, & ectypal harmonies therefore exist in humanity." JETS 69.3

"This narrative presentation [of Andrew] exemplifies the attainable response the narrator hopes to elicit in readers: believe in Jesus as the Messiah and consistently help others move toward him." JETS 69.3

"In Hosea’s public sign act, the children are not a secondary and subsequent feature but are integral to it. Hosea’s initial sign act comprised not only legal marriage but also the adoption of children already born to [Gomer]." JETS 69.3

"While ETS is often portrayed as a treasury from which the doctrine of Scripture is withdrawn, it is perhaps more accurate to describe it as the battleground of the fight for the right to define evangelical bibliology’s implications—a battle that has not yet concluded." JETS 69.3

"Ousia and Homoousios are not words used in Scripture, but the meaning assigned to them was biblical. They were adopted into the Nicene Creed on the basis of their usefulness in codifying biblical content in opposition to Arian theology." (JETS 69.2)

[ETSJETS.org @etsjets]

"The [chiasm's purpose] is to emphasize both the quality of the overseer’s relationships—with his family, the church, & those outside—& the integrity of his personal life, while focusing attention on the central qualification: 'an overseer must be … able to teach.'" (JETS 69.2)

[ETSJETS.org @etsjets]

"The Son of Man issues divine forgiveness (5:24) & salvation (19:9) 'today.' Yet Luke also anticipates a future day: 'his day' (17:24), 'that day' (21:34–36)—the 'fixed day' (Acts 17:31) when the enthroned Son of Man will return to judge the world in righteousness." (JETS 69.2)

[ETSJETS.org @etsjets]

"Thus, it is apparent that Jesus’s Davidic descent is a central tenet of the kerygma. The proclamation of the gospel depends on Jesus’s human kingship, particularly his Davidic lineage. It should not therefore be overlooked in summaries of the kerygma." (JETS 69.2)

[ETSJETS.org @etsjets]

"The cultic apostasy & social anarchy display the vacuum left by the absence of a Torah-obedient king & the community’s failure to live under covenantal limits. The refrain, then, does not reject kingship; it implicitly commends the kind of kingship Deut. envisages." (JETS 69.2)

[ETSJETS.org @etsjets]

"The purpose of this article is to persuade Bible scholars and laypeople alike to replace the term “typology” with “predictive analogy,” which I will argue is a sub-category of narrative analogy." (JETS 69.2)

[ETSJETS.org @etsjets]

"In the end, the Pro-Nicenes and the EHCC share obvious sensibilities....[yet] the Pro-Nicene categories reveal a broader set of exegetical and conceptual tools for Trinitarian theology, offering a variegated set of principles for affirming the Trinity in the Bible." (JETS 69.2)

Index of Book Reviews in JETS 69.1

[ETSJETS.org @etsjets]

"The orthodoxy of ERAS does not entail the truth of ERAS. A doctrinal position could fully satisfy the demands of orthodoxy yet lack sufficient scriptural support to warrant acceptance. Perhaps the same can be said of ERAS." (JETS 69.1)

[ETSJETS.org @etsjets]

"The typological relations model focuses on man and woman together as bearing the image of God as a type & foreshadowing of the telos of humanity in the union between Christ and his Bride." (JETS 69.1)
