Wycliffe College PhD Candidate David Clark has had a peer-reviewed article published by the Scottish Journal of Theology (an imprint of Cambridge University Press). David's article, "Psalm 74:8 and November 1938: rereading Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Kristallnacht annotation in its interpretive context" establishes the context of Bonhoeffer's figural approach to the Psalter. In so doing, he addresses the question of the theological claim Bonhoeffer might have been making about the tragic events of November 1938. Readers without a subscription can access a read-only version of the article, here.
