Hopeful article...

While at Tyndale this last time (June-July 2015) I finished up an article “Shall I Surely Translate This?: The Hebrew Infinitive Absolute in the Greek Twelve Prophets” that I submitted to JSCS (formerly BIOSCS).  I am still waiting for the feedback.

Hosea: A Commentary Based on Hosea in Codex Vaticanus

Hosea: A Commentary Based on Hosea in Codex Vaticanus. 

W. Edward Glenny (Septuagint Commentary Series; Leiden: Brill, 2013).

Rather than studying the LXX of Hosea mainly as a text-critical resource for the Hebrew or as a help for interpreting the Hebrew, this commentary, as part of the Septuagint Commentary Series, primarily examines the Greek text of Hosea as an artifact in its own right to seek to determine how it would have been understood by early Greek readers who were unfamiliar with the Hebrew. This commentary is based on the uncorrected text of Vaticanus, and it contains a copy of that text with notes discussing readings that differ from modern editions of the LXX along with a literal translation of that text. This commentary also has an introduction to the Minor Prophets in the Septuagint. It is relevant for anyone studying the LXX or the book of Hosea.

Preachers, Pastors, and Ambassadors: Puritan Wisdom for Today's Church

Edited By: Lee Gatiss  (London: Latimer Trust, 2011). Available from http://www.latimertrust.org/index.php/publications/books-and-compilations/116-ppa .

Puritan ministers saw themselves as ambassadors for God, called to proclaim his word and shepherd his people. They sought to pastor and lead people through the word clearly preached and the sacraments rightly administered, and by means of
a godly church discipline. In this second compilation of recent St. Antholin lectures (from the years 2001-2010), we see and hear the Puritans in action, and are encouraged to apply their godly wisdom in our own day.

The compilation begins with a brand new introduction by Lee Gatiss (currently working at Tyndale House on 17th century biblical interpretation). In this, he looks at a clever but failed plot by the Puritans to take over the Church of England in the early 17th century.  He also contributed a later chapter on John Owen’s doctrine of infant baptism and infant salvation, called From Life’s First Cry.

Other contributions include:

Peter Adam

Word and Spirit: The Puritan-Quaker Debate
Wallace Benn Usher on Bishops: A Reforming Ecclesiology
Peter Ackroyd Strangers to Correction: Christian Discipline and the English Reformation
David Field "Decalogue Dod" and his Seventeenth Century Bestseller
Chad B Van Dixhoorn A Puritan Theology of Preaching
Peter Adam "To bring men to heaven by preaching": John Donne's Evangelistic Sermons
Tony Baker 1807-2007 John Newton and the Twenty-first Century
Andrew Atherstone Evangelical Mission and Anglican Church Order: Charles Simeon Reconsidered
David Holloway Re-establishing the Christian Faith: and the Public Theology Deficit

The Lessons of History

By: Lee Gatiss  in Churchman 125.3 (2011), pp 263-272.

An extended review of 7 recent books on church history, covering some new surveys of all 2000 years as well as more recent history. The article encourages pastors to teach church history to their congregations using some of these resources, to inspire, warn, and inform them.

The Text of the Pauline Corpus

By Dirk Jongkind, in The Blackwell Companion to Paul, edited by Stephen Westerholm (Chichester: Wiley-Blackwell, 2011), 216-31.

The transmission of the text of the Pauline Corpus shows some differences with that of the four gospels and patterns and tendencies learned there are not automatically applicable to the Textual Criticism of Paul's letters. In this essay the main witnesses are introduced arranged by age and some of the key questions for the study of the Greek text of Paul are discussed.

The Acts of the Risen Lord Jesus: Luke's Account of God's Unfolding Plan

By: Alan J. Thompson (New Studies in Biblical
Theology 27; ed. D. A. Carson; Nottingham/Downers
Grove: Apollos/InterVarsity Press, 2011).

This book aims to offer a biblical-theological
framework for interpreting the book of Acts so
that Luke's major themes may be identified and
related to the book as a whole. The book
especially highlights Acts as an account of the
'continuing story' of God's saving purposes: Luke
intends his work to be read in the light of Old
Testament promises and the continuing reign of
Christ in the inaugurated kingdom of God. In this
light, Luke's key themes are better understood
and integrated. Chapter topics include: 1. the
kingdom of God; 2. the resurrection and the
arrival of the last days; 3. Israel, the
Gentiles, and God’s promises of restoration; 4.
the gift of the Holy Spirit; 5. the temple system
and its leaders; and 6. the role of the law.
[Available from July in the UK and October in the United States.]

In the preface of the book, Don Carson states
that the strength of Thompson's book is that "it
uncovers the main theological emphases of the
book of Acts on the book's own terms. Moreover,
although this volume focuses on Acts, Dr.
Thompson wisely keeps an eye peeled for
theological connections with Luke's Gospel. This
volume will be a treasure trove for all who seek
to understand Acts better, not least those who
teach and preach the book." (pp. 11-12)

The Puritans as Missionaries

By: Lee Gatiss  (Modern Reformation, March-April 2011), pages 7-9.  

"Missionary" is not the first word that comes to mind when one thinks of the Puritans. Keen disciples, passionate pastors, devotional writers, powerful preachers, precise theologians – yes. Radical revolutionaries and reformers even. But not missionaries. A recent companion to Puritanism has no chapter on their missionary endeavours and does not even have an entry in the index for "evangelism". Yet Lee Gatiss, currently at Tyndale House studying 17th century commentaries on Hebrews, tries to show in this article that all their efforts in theology, ministry, and even politics, were focused on bringing glory to God through the salvation of sinners. He shows how the Puritans sought to reach the lost for Christ in New England, in the dark corners of Old England (and Wales), and in the established churches.

Exploring the New Testament, volume 1: The Gospels and Acts (revised edn)

By: David Wenham & Steve Walton, (2nd edn; London: SPCK/Downers Grove: IVP, 2011).

A revised edition of a well-used NT introduction which enables student to engage with the NT texts for themselves, rather than telling them lots about the NT and failing to get them to read the NT itself. Bibliographies have been updated throughout, and new material introduced to expand in areas where discussion has moved on in the ten years since the first volume, e.g. the Gospels as eyewitness testimony, apocryphal gospels. A new feature 'Thinking about Theology' provides short essays on key theological features of the five NT books studied. Volume 2, by Howard Marshall, Stephen Travis and Ian Paul, covering the Epistles and Revelation, is also published in a revised edition.

Trying Paul or Trying Rome? Judges and Accused in the Roman Trials of Paul in Acts

By: Steve Walton in Luke-Acts and Empire: Essays in Honor of Robert L. Brawley. ed. Rhoads, D., D. Esterline, & J. W. Lee (Princeton Theological Monographs 151; Eugene, OR: Pickwick, 2011) 122-41.

An essay engaging with the Roman trials of Jesus (Luke 23) and Paul (Acts 18:12-17; 23-24; 25-26) in order to consider how Luke portrays the Roman empire in these stories. A mixed picture of the empire and its servant emerges, "the empire can act justly to give gospel proclamation the space to spread and flourish, but it can also act unjustly and thus seek to hinder the gospel's outward movement. It is in the midst of this setting that Luke both tells the story of the spread of the Christian testimony and encourages his readers to become part of the story themselves." (141)

Pilgrims, Warriors, and Servants: Puritan Wisdom for Today's Church

Edited by Lee Gatiss (Latimer Trust, 2010)
 
This is a collection of the St. Antholin's Lectures on puritan theology and ministry from 1991-2000, edited and with an introduction by Lee Gatiss, who is currently working at Tyndale House researching a 17th century puritan commentary on Hebrews. The book contains chapters by Jim Packer, Peter Jensen, Peter Adam, Alister McGrath, Bruce Winter and others, covering such interesting topics as evangelical spirituality, the cross in John Owen's pastoral theology, puritan attitudes to combat with Satan, how to reform a church, and various studies of puritans such as Richard Baxter, John Bunyan, and Cambridge's own William Perkins.  The introduction by Lee Gatiss is called "To Satisfy People's Hunger for the Word: St Antholin's as the Prototype Puritan Lectureship" and looks at the puritan love of preaching and why they started "lectureships" in churches.
 

The Sermons of George Whitefield (2 volumes)

Edited by Lee Gatiss (Tentmaker Publications, 2010)
 
Two volumes of sermons from the great evangelical preacher of the eighteenth century Great Awakening, George Whitefield. A brand new, unique, edited and annotated edition - the first such since Whitefield death - giving valuable historical and theological insight into his powerful and passionate preaching which set the world on fire.  Lee Gatiss, currently at Tyndale House doing research into 17th century biblical interpretation, edited the text, wrote an introduction, and has added many notes of historical and theological interest to the text, to make this a readable and informative edition.

The True Profession of the Gospel: Augustus Toplady and Reclaiming our Reformed Foundations

By Lee Gatiss (Latimer Trust, 2010)
 
At every Coronation for over three hundred years, British Monarchs have promised to maintain, "the true profession of the gospel... the Protestant Reformed religion." At a time when many Evangelicals and Anglicans are questioning their theology and re-thinking their identity, it is more important than ever for us to remember this gospel of sovereign grace.
This book shows how God has used the Reformed gospel of "grace alone" to revitalise churches riddled with immorality and flagging in meaning and purpose. With a focus on hymn-writer and theologian Augustus Toplady, it retells the story of Reformation and Revival for a new generation looking to draw strength from its roots.
