The aim of this short paper is quite narrow: to propose an alternate solution to the source behind the citation of Zechariah 9.9 in Matthew 21.5. Scholars have already proposed various solutions: the Old Greek, Masoretic Text, a combination of both Greek and Hebrew texts, and even the possibility of a Greek recension distinct from … Read more
Gender dysphoria is a term that describes a sense of unease that a person may have because of a felt mismatch between his biological sex and his gender identity (nhs.uk). In 2013, with the publication of DSM–5, “gender identity disorder” was eliminated and replaced with “gender dysphoria.” Jack Drescher, M.D. (2010) provided an overview of … Read more
The subfield of intellectual history has derived much of its vitality in the last thirty years from theological history, largely because of the latter’s focus upon continuity or discontinuity of thought in the search for orthodoxy. Yet recent methodological innovations upon reception history allow that subfield to give back, mainly in the way of theological … Read more
Despite growing international interest in Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity, detailed English-language studies on the movement’s history in Hungary remain scarce. Existing sources are predominantly published by the denominations themselves and tend to focus on internal narratives of faith and growth. To date, no comprehensive academic account in English has traced the development of Hungarian Pentecostalism … Read more
Scholars such as Matthias Konradt and Charles Quarles have studied Matthew’s presentation of Jesus as the Son of Abraham and highlighted this title as important to Christology. However, despite these studies, this particular Christological title seems to remain to be explored. In this paper, I intend to demonstrate that Jesus’ title, Son of Abraham, in … Read more
Whether or not to translate the clause-initial καί in the Greek New Testament may seem like a minor decision, but it is anything but trivial. At stake is not only linguistic precision but also the integrity of narrative flow, logical coherence, and even theological clarity. While a strictly literal translation philosophy might preserve every instance … Read more
Redemptive-historical interpretation aims to limit the primary meaning of Scriptural passages to their relation to and significance for God’s unfolding acts in time. Accordingly, redemptive-historical interpretation might be argued to see divine revelation as fundamentally offering certain type of historical consciousness—a consciousness of the very real acts of God in history and what he intends … Read more
While the Nicene confession of the Son’s consubstantiality with the Father was foundational for the Reformers, the metaphysical architecture underlying Nicene orthodoxy—particularly as mediated through Augustine—elicited both appropriation and reconfiguration. This paper investigates how two key Reformed theologians, John Calvin and Francis Turretin, retrieved Augustine’s articulation of divine simplicity within his Trinitarian theology, not as … Read more
Overview of Argumentation: If doctrine is merely handed down without a clear understanding of the Scriptural premises for that doctrine or creed, God’s people may subtly shift toward treating such creeds as mere religious dogma instead of striving to gain and apply a biblical understanding of the beliefs they hold dear. The Nicene Creed can … Read more
This paper explores Luke’s emphasis on divine Christology within the Acts of the Apostles, focusing on both its narrative significance and theological implications. It addresses the central question: What function does divine Christology serve in Acts? The study argues that Luke intentionally depicts Jesus as divine not only to affirm his Christological convictions but also … Read more
