VISION MAGAZINE Summer 2022
Dr. Stevens draws together recent Pauline studies to show that Israel, as a category, is the hermeneutical key to understanding Romans.

In writing to Roman believers, Paul challenged them to embrace their place in the messianic Israel of God.
By William Warren William Warren directed the team of workers at the H. Milton Haggard Center for New Testament Textual Studies (CNTTS) in a recently completed nineyear project to update the CNTTS New Testament Textual Studies Critical Apparatus, the most complete Greek manuscript apparatus for the entire New Testament worldwide. If printed, the Apparatus would encompass more than 21,000 pages. Available in both of the major Bible software platforms of Logos Bible Software and Accordance Bible Software, the database includes extensive information on each New Testament manuscript.
Biblical Reasoning: Christological and Trinitarian Rules for Exegesis By Tyler R. Wittman and R. B. Jamieson
This book argues that the doctrines of Christology and the Trinity are at the heart of Scripture because the goal of exegesis is to behold Christ's glory he shares with the Father and Holy Spirit. The authors provide a “theological toolkit” to equip readers for theologically-sensitive exegesis that pursues the vision of Christ's glory. Biblical Reasoning outlines key doctrinal principles and rules that arise from Scripture itself, and which consequently help us to understand what it says about God and Christ correctly. The triune God shapes both Scripture and its readers. Biblical Reasoning aims to show us how.
