  • Pious and Critical Scholarly Paradigms of the Pentateuch •Fl
    Author Biography Spencer is a third year History major from Martinez, California. In addition, he is perusing a minor in Religious Studies. His major research interests involve the study of the Old and New Testament, as well as military history. After graduation, he hopes to take his passion and research to seminary, where he can further his study of the field and history of Biblical criticism. Morgan Pious and Critical Scholarly Paradigms of the Pentateuch — during the 19th & early 20th centuries by Spencer Morgan Abstract This paper examines the antithesis between Christian scholarship and modern higher criticism of the Pentateuch during the 19th and early 20th centuries. During the 19th century, the popularization and eventual hegemony of the Doc- umentary Hypothesis revolutionized the field of Biblical studies. Modern criti- cal scholars claimed that Moses did not write the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) during the 15th century BC, but rather it was the product of a later redaction of at least four separate documents: J, E, P, and D. Writing hundreds of years apart and long after Moses, their authors reflect not the ancient covenantal religion of Moses, but rather various periods in the evolution of Israel’s religion. The implications of the Documentary Hypothe- sis bring into question the historicity and theological validity of not only the Pen- tateuch, but also the Christian New Testament which presupposes it. The goal of this research is to identify the foundational presuppositions, conclusions, and contextual consciousness that both the modern critics and the Reformed body of Christian scholars opposing them brought to their scholarship.

  • That Grips Tight Enough, Does It Not? Give Your Servants What You Expect and Need to Get from Christ
    THE LIFE .AND WORKS OF HEINRIOH EWALD. 361 to Him to see what a master ought to be, and to try to be masters like that. That is precise enough, is it not? That grips tight enough, does it not? Give your servants what you expect and need to get from Christ. If we try to live that commandment for twenty-four hours, it will probably not be its vagueness of which we complain. "Ye have a Master in heaven," is the great principle on which all Christian duty reposes. Christ's command is my law, His will is supreme, His authority absolute, His example all-sufficient. My soul, my life, my all are His. My will is not my own. My possessions are not my own. My life is not my own. All duty is elevated into obedi­ ence to Him, and obedience to Him, utter and absolute, is dignity and freedom. We are Christ's slaves, for He has bought us for Himself, by giving Himself for us. Let that great sacrifice win our heart's love and our perfect submis­ sion. " 0 Lord, truly I am Thy servant, Thou hast loosed my bonds." Then all earthly relationships will be fulfilled by us, and we shall move among men breathing blessing and raying out brightness, when in all, we remember that we have a Master in heaven, and do all our work frqm the soul as to Him and not to men.

  • Online-Rezensionen Des Jahrbuchs Zur Liberalismus-Forschung 2/2014
    Online-Rezensionen des Jahrbuchs zur Liberalismus-Forschung 2/2014 Wilhelm Bleek/Bernhard Lauer (Hrsg): Protestation des Gewissens. Die Rechtfertigungsschriften der Göttinger Sieben. Kassel: Brüder Grimm-Gesellschaft, 2012, 208 S., ISBN: 978-3-940614-29-2 Bis zum Erscheinen dieses Buches stammte die letzte grundlegende „zitierwürdige“ Edition der Texte der „Göttinger Sieben“ aus dem Jahre 1934, die immerhin 1965 und 1987 jeweils nachgedruckt wurde. So ist es dankenswert, dass nun eine kritische Neuausgabe vorgelegt worden ist, die auch den aktuel- len Forschungsstand berücksichtigt. Mit Wilhelm Bleek „an Bord“ gelingt dieses. Er ist ein exzellenter Kenner der Epoche und hat über den schillerndsten der Göttinger Protestler von 1837, Friedrich Chris- toph Dahlmann, im Jahre 2010 eine umfangreiche und hoch gelobte Biografie vorgelegt. Die Göttinger Sieben stehen bis in unsere Zeit „pars pro toto“ für den Typus des unabhängigen und politisch enga- gierten Professors im deutschen Vormärz, wenn nicht sogar im 19. Jahrhundert, die auf der Suche nach einer „guten Verfassung“ waren. Ihr besonderes Verhältnis auch zur eigenen „Verfassungstreue“ stellten sie schon bei der Eingabe ihres Protestes am 18. November 1837 in den Mittelpunkt: Sie ver- wahrten sich nur gegen die einseitige Entbindung vom Verfassungseid durch den Monarchen, der da- mit seinen Willen über die Konstitution gestellt hatte – ein im Wortsinne willkürlicher Akt“ (S. 25). Die Brüder Grimm-Gesellschaft e.V. hat den Editionsband der Rechtfertigungsschriften der sieben Göt- tinger Professoren herausgegeben. Es sind die Schriften von Friedrich Christoph Dahlmann, Wilhelm Eduard Albrecht, Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm, Heinrich Ewald und Georg Gottfried Gervinus. Der sieben- te Göttinger, Wilhelm Weber, publizierte keine Protestschrift; und die von Gervinus übrigens erschien als Vorrede zum dritten Band seiner deutschen Literaturgeschichte.

Surburg Julius Wellhausen (1 844- 19 18) was a famous German Luth- eran higher critic who influenced Biblical and Oriental studies for many generations during the second half of the nineteenth and the early decades of the twentieth centuries. Hans Joachim Kraus wrote of Wellhausen: With his philological, literary-critical, and historical investigations Wellhausen founded a school which has deter- mined for decades the picture of Old Testament science. However all work-performed outside his school and beyond it is inconceivable apart from the solid foundation on which Old Testament science in numerous, and till the present unchangeable, accomplishments was founded.' In describing the importance of Wellhausen Hahn wrote: His position in Old Testament criticism is somewhat analagous to that of Darwin in the intellectual

  • The Deuteronomist(S)' Interpretation of Exilic Suffering in an African
    Adamo: Exilic Suffering in African Perspective OTE 23/1 (2010), 9-27 9 The Deuteronomist(s)’ Interpretation of Exilic Suffering in an African Perspective 1 REV . PROF DAVID TUESDAY ADAMO (UNISA) ABSTRACT The question of the identity of the Deuteronomist(s) has been de- bated and is still in debate. While some believe he was an individual author, editor, or compiler who sought to interpret as honestly as possible the history of Israel in the light of his personal under- standing of the crisis that befell Judah, others believe that the Deu- teronomists are groups, schools, prophets or scribes. Be that as it may, both Deuteronomistic and African slave theologies of suffering hold similar interpretations of exilic suffering despite the events not being the same. Both interpret their suffering as retributive, divine disciplinary, redemptive, revelational, probational and eschatologi- cal. A INTRODUCTION This article is a critical examination of the Deuteronomistic theology of suf- fering as it affects the disaster that befell Judah in 597 and 586 B.C.E. in African perspective. It further examines the Deuteronomistic theology in the light of an African theology of suffering especially as it relates to the suffering associated with slavery in Africa. Should Africans understand the suffering of slavery, that is, the forceful exile of Africans, in accordance with the Deuteronomistic theol- ogy? Does African slavery put Africans and African Diasporas in a better posi- tion to understand a biblical theology of suffering in the light of Deuterono- mistic interpretation? To answer these questions this article will briefly discuss who is/are the Deuteronomist(s).

  • On the Development of Historical Criticism
    Midwestern Journal of Theology 13.1 (2014): 130-46 On the Development of Historical Criticism RUSSELL L. MEEK Associate Editor, Journal for the Evangelical Study of the Old Testament PhD Student (OT) at MBTS and Research Assistant to the President [email protected] INTRODUCTION The history of the development of historical criticism is important for evangelical scholars to know and understand for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that evangelical scholarship over the past two hundred years has spent no small amount of ink defending concepts such as the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch and the divine inspiration of the Bible against historical criticism. Furthermore, the historical-grammatical method that grew from the Reformation ideal of sola Scriptura was birthed with the same goals of historical criticism-to understand the biblical text in its original context apart from the shackles of dogmatic exegesis that had often kept the Bible chained to somewhat fanciful interpretations since the days of the church fathers and into the Middle Ages. Each method of exegesis­ historical-critical and historical-grammatical-grew from same ground. By understanding the development of the one we may come to understand the development and importance of the other. Finally, historical criticism is not going away. It has by now morphed into MEEK: Historical Criticism 131 several different manifestations, 1 but the basic, foundational presuppositions of critical exegesis of the Bible remain the same, making it imperative for evangelical scholars to return to its genesis that we might understand and critically engage its current expressions. This project will outline the growth and development of the historical critical method as it relates to Pentateuchal criticism beginning with the work of Baruch Spinoza and continuing to Julius Wellhausen's Documentary Hypothesis.

  • Is Kant Among the Prophets? Hebrew Prophecy and German Historical Thought, 1880–1920,” Central European History 54, No
    NOTE: This item is the archived peer-reviewed author-version of Paul Michael Kurtz, “Is Kant Among the Prophets? Hebrew Prophecy and German Historical Thought, 1880–1920,” Central European History 54, no. 1 (2021): 34–60. Is Kant among the Prophets? Hebrew Prophecy and German Historical Thought, 1880–1920 Paul Michael Kurtz* Abstract This article examines the interpretation of Hebrew prophecy by German Protestant scholars in the era of 1880–1920. It argues, first, that Old Testament interpreters valued the prophets since they presented God as the guiding force behind human history and, second, that these theologians cum philologians saw the prophetic conception of history as anticipating their own understanding of God in the world. The inquiry bases this argument on a reading of numerous exegetes, both leading lights and forgotten figures. Moreover, it traces this interpretative tendency across a range of sources, including specialist studies, theological monthlies, critical and literary journals, popular works, public speeches, and pedagogical literature. Rather than leave the prophets in the past, these exegetes also ushered them into the present, employing their historical teachings to shore up the Christian faith. In doing so, they identified Hebrew prophecy with German Protestantism and in contrast to Judaism. * An earlier version of this essay was presented at the 2019 Celtic Conference in Classics, in Coimbra, as part of the panel “‘What daimōn drove you on?’ Understanding Divine and Human Agency in Ancient Greek Thought and Intellectual History.” My gratitude extends to the organizers, Rebecca Van Hove and Alexandre Johnston, for inviting me to think along these lines, to Gareth Atkins and Simon Goldhill for providing insight at the conceptual stages of this essay, to an exceptional anonymous reviewer for offering excellent suggestions to reinforce the argument and draw out its implications, and to Daniel D.

  • Introduction to the Pentateuch
    INTRODUCTION TO THE PENTATEUCH By G.I. Davies Professor of Old Testament, University of Cambridge From Chapter 3 of The Oxford Bible Commentary edited by John Barton and John Muddiman (Oxford University Press, 2013) http://www.oxfordbiblicalstudies.com/article/book/obso-9780198755005/obso-9780198755005- chapter-3 What is the Pentateuch? The name ‘Pentateuch’ means literally ‘the work comprising five scrolls’, from Greek pente and teukhos, which can mean ‘scroll’. It has been used since at least early Christian times for the first five books of the OT, Genesis to Deuteronomy. The Jewish name for these books was usually and still is ‘the law’: Hebrew tôrâ, Greek nomos or nomothesia (the latter is literally ‘legislation’), and it is this name which appears in the NT: e.g. Lk 24:11 , ‘What is written in the law, the prophets and the psalms’, where we meet the threefold subdivision of the Hebrew canon that continues to be used, with the substitution of ‘writings’ for ‘psalms’ as the third section. Cf. also the Greek Prologue to Sirach (c.132 BCE). But there is a much deeper way of asking, and answering, the question, ‘What is the Pentateuch?’, one which goes beyond merely defining its external limits to enquire into its nature. In other words, what sort of a thing is this section of the Bible? This question can only really be answered after a full examination of the text, and one justification for the kind of detailed critical analysis which has been popular in modern OT scholarship is that it enables us to give a well-judged (if complicated!) answer to that question.

  • How Nineteenth-Century German Classicists Wrote the Jews out of Ancient History,’ History & Theory 58, No
    NOTE: This item is the archived peer-reviewed author-version of Paul Michael Kurtz, ‘How Nineteenth-Century German Classicists Wrote the Jews out of Ancient History,’ History & Theory 58, no. 2 (2019): 210–32. How Nineteenth-Century German Classicists Wrote the Jews out of Ancient History1 Paul Michael Kurtz University of Cambridge & Queens’ College Ancient Judaism | Classics | Historiography | Nationalism | Scholarship | Germany Abstract This essay considers why Jewish antiquity largely fell outside the purview of ancient historians in the Germanies for over half a century, between 1820 and 1880, and examines the nature of those portraits that did, in fact, arise. To do so, it interrogates discussions of Jewish antiquity in this half century against the background of those political and national values that were consoli- dating across the German states. Ultimately, the paper claims ancient Jewish history did not pro- vide a compelling model for the dominant (Protestant) German scholars of the age, which then prompted the decline of antique Judaism as a field of interest. This investigation into the politi- cal and national dimensions of ancient history both supplements previous lines of inquiry and complicates accounts that assign too much explanatory power to a regnant anti-Judaism or anti- Semitism in the period and place. Firstly, the analysis considers those reasons why so little atten- tion was granted to Jewish history by ancient historians in the first place, as opposed to its rela- tive prominence before ca. 1820. Second, the essay examines representations of ancient Judaism as fashioned by those historians who did consider the subject in this period.

Leben Georg Heinrich August Ewald wurde am 16.11.1803 als Sohn eines Tuchmachers in Göttingen geboren. 1820 nahm er in seiner Heimatstadt das Studium der klassischen Philologie, Theologie und v.a. der Orientalistik auf; zu seinen Lehrern zählten der Alttestamentler → Johann Gottfried Eichhorn und der Orientalist Thomas Christian Tychsen. 1823 promovierte er dort mit einer Arbeit über die Komposition der Genesis zum Dr. phil., 1824 übernahm er eine Repetentenstelle an der theologischen Fakultät. Zwischenzeitlich hatte er eine Stelle als Gymnasiallehrer in Wolfenbüttel inne; der Handschriftenbestand der dortigen Bibliothek erlaubte eine Vertiefung seiner orientalistischen Studien. 1827 wurde er nach dem Tod Eichhorns außerordentlicher, 1831 ordentlicher Professor für Altes Testament an der philosophischen Fakultät, der der alttestamentliche Lehrstuhl in Göttingen zugeordnet war. 1833 wurde er Mitglied der königlichen Societät der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen, 1836 erhielt er den theologischen Ehrendoktor der Universität Kopenhagen. In der frühen Göttinger Zeit entstanden v.a. philologische Arbeiten, die breite Anerkennung fanden. 1837 protestierte Ewald mit anderen Professoren der Universität gegen die Aufhebung des erst 1833 verabschiedeten Staatsgesetzes durch König
