Latest Issue
Welcome to the Fall 2024 issue of the Midwestern Journal of Theology. It has been my pleasure to serve as Guest Editor for this issue as Michael McMullen has been away on sabbatical. I would like to thank Dr. McMullen for his work on the initial phases of this edition, Blake Hearson for the compilation and review of its book reviews, and Jason Duesing for his oversight as Academic Editor.
This volume is especially dedicated to showcasing the work of Midwestern’s PhD students. As can be seen here, these men and women are positioned to make genuine contributions in diverse theological fields, each with convictions and inclinations for the Church.
The opening article is the semester’s faculty address, a riveting status quaestionis on Pauline divine Christology from John J. R. Lee. PhD student articles include an examination of John Wesley’s anthropology and soteriology from Trevor Cartwright, arguing for a ‘semi-Augustinian’ reading of Wesley; a philosophical-theological application of the concept of ‘pure act’ to divine omnipotence from Andrew Robert Cole; an exegetical-ethical study in ‘modesty’ from Catherine Garrison, in conversation with a flurry of recent popular-level works on the topic; a status-quo-challenging look at the missiology of Luther and Calvin from Joshua D. Thomas; a proposal of Exodus’s allusions to Genesis, particularly regarding the ‘seed promise’ of Gen 3:15, from Brian Verrett; and a thematic study of the close ties of 1 Peter and 2 Peter from Sam Whittaker, supporting their common Petrine authorship. We close with many timely book reviews, the semester’s PhD graduates and their dissertations, and a list of recent works received for review.
