Latest Issue
We’re excited to bring you the Spring 2024 issue of the Midwestern Journal of Theology. It is a joy and privilege to note that the articles in this issue have been contributed or co-written by professors and students at Midwestern Seminary. From church governance to cultural engagement, this edition addresses several relevant questions for the Church today.
We open this issue with the Spring 2024 Faculty Address, which was given this year by Dr. Rustin Umstattd, in which he examined the issue of the place of Baptism in Gospel proclamation. The next three articles all came from Midwestern’s own, beginning with the fruit of Dr. Jason DeRouchie’s very careful work on Zephaniah. Dr. Joe Allen’s work is next in which he describes and analyzes the theological factors that contributed to Islam’s rise in Christian contexts. We then have Dr. Alan Branch’s very timely critique of the major premise of secular Bioethics, with his work on Developmental Personhood.
Our penultimate article comes from Taylor Lassiter, the Senior Pastor of College Heights Baptist Church in Plainview, TX, in which he helpfully examines the role of Senior Pastor within plurality Eldership. Our final article which consists of a Biblical and historical analysis of the relationship between Faith and Baptism, was kindly submitted by Peter Goeman of Shepherd’s Theological Seminary in NC.
