Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 21-36, March 2026.
Abstract Scholars have tended to interpret Thomas Nettleton's bestselling Virtue and Happiness (1729) as an Epicurean work. In contrast, I argue that this book was constructed partly from extensive paraphrases of the writings of Locke, Shaftesbury, and Hutcheson.

Revisiting the Literal Sense of Scripture, in Dialogue With Thomas Aquinas

International Journal of Systematic Theology, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 331-350, July 2025.
Abstract Brevard Childs suggests that ‘one of the burning issues in theology lies in a search to recover a new understanding of the sensus literalis’.

International Journal of Systematic Theology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 166-192, April 2025.
