A New Journal

While at the Tyndale Fellowship OT Study group I learned about this publication - The Journal of Theological Interpretation. It is new to me, although started publishing, twice annually, in 2007.

There is web information here.

Kevin Vanhoozer, one of the Editorial Board writes,
“The Journal of Theological Interpretation is a most welcome addition to a development that is as much Renaissance as Reformation: a recovery of ways of reading the Bible that, while not dismissing historical and literary concerns, go on to engage the word of God and thus to tear down the iron curtain that has for too long separated biblical studies and systematic theology. First a commentary series, then a Dictionary, and now a Journal. A three-stranded cord is not easily broken: the contemporary move towards the theological interpretation of the Bible is alive and well.”

The first copy I have is vol 5, no 1. This looks like being a very useful addition to our biblical studies tools, a good reminder of the need for our interpretation of Scripture to engage with theology at some point. So, well worth looking out for.
