Introduction
The purpose of the Maranatha Baptist Theological Journal is to provide for our constituency, and for others who may be interested, articles from a Baptist, dispensational, and conservative theological position.
A Warning for True Believers who Lack Faith
Hebrews 6:4-8 is one of the most difficult New Testament passages to interpret. Almost every article written on this passage begins with a statement of its difficulty.
Filled with or Full of the Spirit: Acts and Ephesians
This article will examine the concept and language of being “filled with the Spirit” in Luke and Acts and compare that with Ephesians 5:18, in order to demonstrate that these two fillings are not the same.
Tracing the Thread of Trinitarian Thought from Ignatius to Origen
The purpose of this article is to explore how Origen’s predecessors viewed the relationship among the Godhead, and to examine if there was a developing theology prior to Origen.
Adoniram Judson: Father of American Missions
Adoniram Judson is commonly called the “Father of American Missions.” Judson was the first minister of the gospel to depart from American shores in order to dedicate himself to the proclamation of Jesus Christ abroad.
Book Reviews
This article features two book reviews: Paul R. Williamson, Sealed with an Oath—Covenant in God’s Unfolding Purpose and Andrew Himes, The Sword of the Lord: The Roots of Fundamentalism in an American Family.
