The thesis of this paper is that the poetic structure in Daniel 7:14 and 7:27 serves as declaration that the Son of Man’s Kingdom ‘will never end,’ demonstrating how the strategic use of NW Semitic poetry within narrative text functions to emphasize the eternal nature of his dominion. In particular, this study finds in Daniel … Read more
Evangelicals have responded to logical positivist historiography in various ways. Thus, an exploration of these several different evangelical approaches to historiography needs to be done. Considering these positions, it will be argued that an evangelical historiography for use inside the church should look different from an evangelical historiography for use outside the church. That is, … Read more
Frédéric Manns affirms that Justin Martyr’s conception of the nature of the Old Testament differed from that of the Jewish community.

However, the relationship between this proto-creed and the versions of the baptismal confession, occasionally produces some scholarly debates. For example, while some scholars like Adolf von Harnack, argue that the regula fidei was kind of … Read more
The Book of Revelation is often described as perplexing, bewildering, or even impenetrable—terms that signal what cognitive pragmatics would call a “pragmatic failure.” Readers encounter moments of interpretive impasse, or aporias, in which the text seems to contradict itself or defy coherence. These aporias are not accidental. Rather, I argue that they function as deliberate … Read more
How does the angelology of Jonathan Edwards relate to his Reformed forebears? For many contemporary theologians and church historians, Edwards is an aberration from the Reformed tradition. Others counter that he was no aberration, but rather was simply trying to take what the Reformed were doing and articulate that vision in a new context. The … Read more
The argumentation of my paper has to do not on the fall of Lucifer per se, but on the fall of those angels who fell with him following him. That an irruption among the heavenly hosts of angels somehow came about at some point in primordial history, resulting in a remainder of holy angels on … Read more

How does God’s Word describe the nature and function of theological higher education? Wrestling both exegetically and theologically, this study addresses: (1) the place of theological higher education in church history; (2) Scripture as … Read more
