Latest issue of Themelios

The latest issue of Themelios (39.2) is out and features D.A. Carson on “What are Gospel Issues?” A heap of stuff on Jonathan Edwards.

Plus a review of HGBJ by Jonathan Huggins. Though admittedly biased, I do like his conclusion:

The idea for this project is superb and certainly serves the church well. Bart Ehrman has become well-known for his popular-level books. He is probably the most famous American agnostic/atheist Bible scholar. He writes very well, and his arguments are clear. It is possible that his work will have broad influence. Bird states, “Ehrman is worth addressing, since his skill as a textual critic is widely acknowledged and his showmanship as a public intellectual can hardly be denied. Such a pity then that he is almost always wrong!” (p. 8). So How God Became Jesus is just the sort of response we need. These scholars have not only shown Ehrman’s argument to be rather weak and misguided, they have also provided evangelicals a strong and reliable affirmation of the historic Christian faith.
