Announcements from TheologicalStudies.org
Hello everyone!
We have three announcements for you.
1. First, the newest edition of The Master’s Seminary Journal is hot off the press. Make sure you get a copy! This Spring 2008 journal includes the following articles:
--“Exegetical Fallacies: Common Interpretive Mistakes Every Student Must Avoid” by William D. Barrick. (If you liked D.A. Carson’s book, Exegetical Fallacies, you will like this article.)
--“Promises to Israel in the Apocalypse,” by Robert L. Thomas (Dr. Thomas shows how the Book of Revelation relates to God’s promises to Israel.)
--“Rejection Then Hope: The Church’s Doctrine of Israel in the Patristic Era,” by Michael J. Vlach. (This article has rarely seen quotations from the early fathers showing that the early church strongly affirmed a future salvation of the nation Israel)
--“Preservation of the Bible: Providential or Miraculous? The Biblical View,” by Jon Rehurek (Rehurek discusses an important issue in the King James Only debate.)
--“Life and Work of Robert Dick Wilson,” by Brian Nicks (Nicks highlights the career of this incredible scholar and man of God who defended the Old Testament from liberalism in his days at Princeton Theological Seminary.)

2. Michael Vlach has a review article of Hank Hanegraaff’s book, "Apocalypse Code." This is not your usual book review. It can be viewed at www.TheologicalStudies.org.
3. Michael Vlach recently was awarded the Franz-Delitzsch Prize 2008 for his dissertation. See the press release below for more information:
Master's Seminary Professor Wins Franz-Delitzsch Prize for Dissertation Refuting Replacement Theology
(PRWEB) April 26, 2008 -- Michael J. Vlach, Ph.D., was awarded the "Franz-Delitzsch-Prize 2008" for his dissertation, "The Church as a Replacement of Israel: An Analysis of Supersessionism." The award ceremony was held on Friday April 25, 2008 at the Freie Theologische Akademie in Giessen, Germany.
Vlach, now Assistant Professor of Theology at The Master's Seminary in Sun Valley, California, completed his dissertation at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2004. His work analyzed the history of Replacement Theology or Supersessionism and offered a theological refutation of the view that the Christian church has permanently replaced the nation Israel as the people of God.
"This dissertation shows that when all of the biblical evidence is examined, the Christian church cannot rightly claim that it is the new or true Israel," says Vlach. "There are too many passages that explicitly teach that God is not done with His people Israel."
The award was bestowed upon Vlach by the faculty members of the Freie Theologische Akademie. The Akademie also recognized the work of Dr. Thomas Schirrmacher for his German Ph.D. research on "Hitler´s Religion as a Foundation for His Satanic Hate Against the Jews."
Vlach's dissertation will be published through Peter Lang Publishing Group. Copies of the dissertation may also be purchased through Theological Studies Press found at www.TheologicalStudies.org.
