Anvil Journal Digitisation

For the last few months I have been working with the Editorial Committee of Anvil journal. Anvil has now become an on-line journal and the plan is to place as many of the print back-issues on-line on biblicalstudies.org.uk as possible. At present I am contacting contributors for their permissions and, as you can see from the table of contents, the response from authors has been extremely positive. So much so that although I am currently only up to issue 10.1 I am uploading so many articles every day that it would be impossible to blog about each one.

If you are interested in this journal I recommend that you visit the table of contents regularly over the coming month. If you are an author whom I have not yet contacted yet, feel free to get in touch with me first [rob(at)biblicalstudies.org.uk].

Two articles by Stephen S. Smalley now online

I am currently working at placing on-line articles from the old series of Themelios, originally published by the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) - not to be confused with the new series published by UCCF from 1975 and more recently by the Gospel Coalition. The latest additions are:


Stephen S. Smalley, "The Imitation of Christ in the New Testament," Themelios 3.1 (1965): 13-22.

Stephen S. Smalley, "Holy Worldliness," Themelios 3.3 (1966): 16-23.

Visit the latest additions page for the links here or the table of contents for the journal here.

Graeme Goldsworthy on Old Testament Study

Dr. Goldsworthy gives some good advice to evangelicals preparing to start theological study in the 1970's:

Graeme Goldsworthy, "Will the Real Moses Please Stand Up!" Themelios 7.2/3 (1970): 6-12.

Is what he says still as applicable today?

Bible Translator Table of Contents now on-line

For some years the United Bible Societies have made their extremely useful journal Bible Translator freely available on its website. As the online version lacks a searchable table of contents it has proved difficult to use unless you knew in advance what you wanted. [see comments] The articles - being presented in the form of individual jpg images served - are not picked up by search engines and so don't appear in web search results. 

For these reasons I have produced a table of contents for the journal here to make it more accessible.

B.H. Streeter's The Four Gospels: A Study of Origins

I have digitised and uploaded a copy of B.H. Streeter's classic statement of the Four Source Hypothesis of Gospel origins in PDF:

The Four Gospels: A Study of Origins. London: London: MacMillan & Co. Ltd., 1930. Hbk. pp.624.

Easter Giveaway: e-subscription to Evangelical Quarterly

Theology on the Web has always enjoyed a good relationship with publishers, none more so than with Paternoster Periodicals. Over the years biblicalstudies.org.uk has become the on-line archive of three of its four ongoing publications, The Evangelical Quarterly, The European Journal of Theology and the Evangelical Review of Theology. I was therefore delighted when the new publisher offered a free 1 year individual subscription to Evangelical Quarterly as a giveaway.
