History

The journal has been published continuously since 1958. The first issue of the Bulletin contained a single article, Ned B. Stonehouse's presidential address to the society's annual meeting, entitled "The Infallibility of Scripture and Evangelical Progress."[4] In 1969 the publication attained its present title.[2] In 1988 the circulation was approximately 2500;[5] by 2016 it had increased to 5000.[6] The society provides free online access to digitized back issues.[7] For 22 years until 2021, the editor was Andreas J. Köstenberger; Dorian Coover-Cox succeeded him.[8]

Contents and outlook

The Evangelical Theological Society is composed of Christians who affirm the inerrancy of the Bible.[2] The journal is focused predominantly on biblical studies.[2][5] In its early years, it provided a venue for evangelicals questioning dispensationalism.[9] While at first sympathetic to neo-orthodoxy and the work of Karl Barth, it turned sharply against Barth in the mid-1960s.[2]
