The Bavinck Review 7 (2016)

The Bavinck Institute has recently made available online volume 7 of The Bavinck Review. The contents are listed below, with much of the issue made up of a second and final installment article by Arvin Vos who, according to John Bolt in the Editorial, ‘puts his rich background of scholarly work on Aquinas to good use in illuminating the complex structure of Bavinck’s psychology’.

Individual pieces are available here, or the entire issue can be downloaded as a pdf here.

Marc Cortez on the Evangelical Theological Society 2010 Meetings

The 62nd Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society, recently concluded, provided an opportunity to consider ongoing debates on justification by faith, with the help of three plenary speakers – Tom Schreiner, Frank Thielman, and N.T. Wright – all of whom have published extensively on the topic.

Bibliobloggers have been summarising sessions – especially the key ones on justification. I’ve particularly benefited from Marc Cortez’s reflections over at Scientia et Sapientia, and have linked to his summaries of those papers (as well as some others) below.
