I have listed below some articles with known bibliographical data. In
addition to what is below, your only recourse is to find a public
library (either a theological seminary library or large university
library) that carries the following periodicals/abstract indexes:
1. Religious and Theological Abstracts [RTA]
2. Religion Index One (formerly Index to Literature in Religious Periodicals)[RIO]
3. Christian Periodical Index [CPI]
In the case of 1 & 2, you will find these held at large university
libraries i their reference sections. The RTA has been published 4
times a year every year since the 1950s, and so there are many paper
volumes of RTA. But RTA has also been scanned into CDRom format, so
check out the library. If the CDRom is accessible you can do an
author's name search. Otherwise, head for the 4th edition of RTA
issued at the end of each year for the annual index.
RIO began in 1949 with an annual cumulative volume. It is also
available as a database (the ATLA database - ATLA American Theological
Library Association) with much of the older volumes now digitally
stored. You can search by author name.
In the case of Christian Periodicals Index [CPI] it began in 1957 as
an annual cumulaive index of evangelical magazines. It started
indexing about 20 magazines and now covers over 100 of them. Many of
the magazines covered by CPI DO NOT overlap with those indexed by RIO
& RTA.
I'm afraid that some of the magazines that Walter Martin contributed
to have slipped through the bibliographical indexes. So a painstaking
search would need to be done by perusing magazines in a library
collection.
Also, just note this that some of the articles he wrote largely turned
up as chapters in his early books such as the 1955 edition of The Rise
of the Cults, and in The Christian and the Cults. Also note that much
of the contents of his earliest books (Christian Science Myth, Jehovah
of the Watchtower, Maze of Mormonism, Truth About Seventh Day
Adventism, some parts of The Christian and the Cults, and parts of The
Rise of the Cults) ended up being largely reproduced in the 1965
edition of The Kingdom of the Cults.
As to libraries that may have some of the periodicals below (you can
check the library catalogues on-line) you will find some of them held
at Moody Bible Institute (Chicago), Biola University (La Mirada,
California), Dallas Theological Seminary (Texas), and Trinity
University International (Deerfield, Illinois). If you do not live in
the USA, you can inquire in your homeland with a theological seminary
library if there is a "national union list of serials" held by
theological colleges. The union list will confirm which magazines are
held, the years/volumes held, at the colleges. Contact details of the
colleges are disclosed and one can then telephone, snail-mail or
e-mail with photocopy requests. But to obtain photocopies you need
precise bibliographical data!
At www.iclnet.org you will find an index to the periodicals published
by CRI, starting with Forward and then CRJ and Christian Research
Newsletter. The index also reproduces articles from the Newsletter and
you'll find several by Martin on the PTL scandal, Satanism, Spiritual
Warfare, Do's and Don'ts of Witnessing to Cults etc
