Abstract

Reformed Epistemology successfully defends the rationality of Christian belief against evidentialist objections. Plantinga demonstrates that belief in God can be properly basic and warranted without inferential justification. But this apologetic achievement leaves a methodological gap: believers know they are rational to believe, yet lack rigorous tools for adjudicating between competing doctrines. Both Calvinist and Arminian can claim warranted beliefs about salvation; Reformed Epistemology offers no criteria for choosing between them. This paper argues that Anselm's fides quaerens intellectum fills precisely this gap. Beginning with faith and deploying reason to explore internal coherence, Anselmian method provides constructive theological tools that complement Reformed Epistemology's defensive posture. Three case studies demonstrate the method's utility: the logical order of salvation, the relationship between justification and sanctification, and the grounds of assurance. In each case, Anselmian analysis clarifies underlying commitments, reveals logical structures, and enables more productive theological dialogue. The paper concludes that this medieval method addresses a critical need in contemporary evangelical thought—transforming apologetic defense into constructive systematic theology.

Abstract

Genesis 5:21-24 contains one of the most laconic accounts of any figure in the entire Hebrew Bible: three verses, no recorded speech, no miracle, no mission, no legacy. Yet Enoch has become one of the most elaborated figures in post-biblical Jewish and Christian tradition, generating extensive apocalyptic literature, heavenly journey narratives, and prophetic attributions. This paper argues that the interpretive tradition’s expansion of Enoch’s profile represents not merely an imaginative supplement but a categorical hermeneutical error: it imports post-flood interpretive logic into a pre-flood narrative zone that operates by fundamentally different literary and theological rules. Drawing on narrative criticism and canonical hermeneutics, this study demonstrates that the narrative void in Genesis 5:21-24 is itself the communicative signal, that walking with God required no instruction, no spectacular achievement, no institutional framework, and produced no recordable legacy, and that this plainness is precisely the point. The contrast with Elijah, who also escaped ordinary death but whose narrative is dense with assignment, confrontation, disciples, and transferred authority, confirms rather than complicates this thesis: both figures inhabit categorically different redemptive-historical zones, and reading one through the lens of the other constitutes a methodological failure that has shaped biblical interpretation for millennia. The paper concludes with implications for contemporary spirituality shaped by cultures of measurable religious productivity.
THE ONE WHO ENTERED: CHRIST AND THE TEMPORAL STRUCTURE OF ESCHATOLOGICAL REST IN HEBREWS 3:7-4:11 Evans Winata; Jonathan Octavianus

Abstract

Studies of Hebrews 3:7-4:11 have concentrated on the nature, location, and background of the promised rest, and on the way the letter’s eschatology drives its exhortations. This article asks a related but neglected question: how does the passage arrange access to that rest in time? We argue that the author works with three temporal points of reference. The first is God’s rest, available ‘from the foundation of the world’ (4:3-4), which early Jewish and Christian readers understood as a seventh day that never reached its evening. The second is the ‘Today’ of Psalm 95, which the author treats as a limited day of invitation (3:13; 4:7). The third is ‘the Day’ that the readers see approaching (10:25; cf. 9:28). Taking up Nicholas Moore’s christological reading of 4:10, we propose that Christ, the one who has already entered God’s rest and the forerunner who entered ‘for us’ (6:20), links these three points. Within the rest motif, the two strands of eschatology that Scott Mackie has identified in Hebrews, two-age eschatology and heavenly sanctuary eschatology, meet in him. The Sabbath rest that ‘remains’ (4:9) is therefore a rest the Son already occupies, and believers enter it as ‘partakers of Christ’ (3:14). Because the warnings of the passage concern the limited Today and not the availability of the rest, Hebrews can hold grace and urgent exhortation together without contradiction.
