Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society

Last updated

History

The journal has been published continuously since 1958. The first issue of the Bulletin contained a single article, Ned B. Stonehouse's presidential address to the society's annual meeting, entitled "The Infallibility of Scripture and Evangelical Progress." [3] In 1969 the publication attained its present title. [2] In 1988 the circulation was approximately 2500; [4] by 2016 it had increased to 5000. [5] The society provides free online access to digitized back issues. [6] For 22 years until 2021, the editor was Andreas J. Köstenberger; Dorian Coover-Cox succeeded him. [7]

Contents and outlook

The Evangelical Theological Society is composed of Christians who affirm the inerrancy of the Bible. [2] The journal is focused predominantly on biblical studies. [2] [4] In its early years, it provided a venue for evangelicals questioning dispensationalism. [8] While at first sympathetic to neo-orthodoxy and the work of Karl Barth, it turned sharply against Barth in the mid-1960s. [2] In 2003, F. LeRon Shults described it as a "major journal of conservative American theology". [9]
