The Burning Bush is a theological journal published by the Singaporean Far Eastern Bible College. It is published bi-annually in January and July, and contains theological papers, sermons, testimonies, book reviews, college news, and alumni reports. Articles are indexed in the Christian Periodical Index. The journal is distributed gratis to the Far Eastern Bible College family worldwide and Bible-Presbyterian churches, and also available online.[1]

History

The Burning Bush was first published in January 1971 as a newsletter of the college.[2] In January 1995, it was replaced with the present journal format to allow for longer articles such as term papers, graduate theses, and faculty write-ups as well as easy shelving after perusal.[3] The papers published reflect the reformed, premillennial, and separatist stance of the college.[3]

Criticism

The publication contains a primer on the doctrine of Verbal Plenary Preservation (VPP) entitled "A Plea for a Perfect Bible".[4] Since 2003, several articles on the subject matter have appeared frequently in the journal.

Consequently, the Reverend Tan Eng Boo, pastor of Grace Bible-Presbyterian Church, criticized the publication as "once an edifying magazine" which has since been "targeted to combat non-VPPs" and "put down B-P pastors and elders who are not supportive" of the VPP doctrine.[5]
