Theological Journals help
I'm a:
1) LONG-time forum stalker
2) FIRST-time poster 
Here's my question:
I'm needing some wisdom concerning the theological journals and whether I should pick them up through Logos. I'm researching A. W. Tozer and am wondering if the following journals have much to say on him, or his ministry:
JBL
TJL
Themelios
Anyone have these collections that might be able to help? Many thanks to all of you!
Jamie
I have Platinum with Semeia, and that journal has nothing on Tozer.

BTW, I do have the Tozer Collection already and it has been wonderful!

Hello Jaime!
in short:
JETS
Themelios
...and total:
the most concentrated journal was 29 hits in 4 articles from Journal of Dispensational Theology Volume 13
Reformation and Revival Volume 9 had 23 hits in 8 articles
Tozer seems to be quoted often but not often enough indepth

surprisingly JBL came up empty!
[EDIT] - so to answer your question, the TJL collections would give you the most results, some worth pursuing, yet your investment would be significant. The only other major journal collection in Logos not mentioned is Bibliotheca Sacra. I've found their strength to be in book reviews current to the release of a major work. They are often too brief to be useful however

Wow, too brief to be useful? Hardly, Bib Sac has some of the best scholarship out there and with as far back as it goes gives great insight as to what the issues of the day are for almost 200 years. The articles are certainly shorter than other peer-reviewed journals, I found this out while looking for a journal to publish an article in, have not submitted it yet but if it gets published I will post it here first. I find Bib Sac to be better for pastors than most scholarly journals which seem better suited to academic endeavors. I think you are being a bit harsh in equating length with usefulness.

"they" = book reviews. Sorry for any confusion.

Ah, ok, sorry for being so harsh on you. Thanks for the clarification. I don't read many book reviews but I will take your word for it. Please forgive me.

I probably should have also exchanged "strength" with "uniqueness". I have more BibSac journals than any other Logos journal and appreciate the articles!
no hard feelings [:)] a.a.

Actually, not very surprising. JBL is primarily "academic", whatever that is supposed to mean. It contains very few articles by conservative scholars.
