Churchman
In the Spring 2020 edition of Churchman, we are delighted to publish the winning entry from the Gerald Bray Essay Prize: An Inferior Cause: The Role of Works in Final Judgment Using Calvin’s Aristotelian Framework of Causation, with Special Reference to Romans 6:19-23, by Paul Young. Paul studied at Moore Theological College in Sydney, Australia and is now a pastor at Providence City Church in Perth, Australia. Professor Bray's comment on Paul's paper was that he “tackles a little known subject with great erudition and thoroughness.” We hope readers will agree!
The journal also includes an article on Martin Luther as educator, by Christopher Beckham and a discussion of soteriological speech acts, in which Andrew Hollingsworth considers what it means for justification to be understood as a divine performative act.
Peter Jensen's editorial answers the question "Why I Am Still A Christian" after more than 60 years of faith, and numerous challenges to it along the way.
As always, there is a wide range of book reviews to help guide your reading choices.
