We learn so much about God and his heart when we take time to do so. Taking time to study the Gospel of Luke is a really good introduction to the life and works of Jesus because Luke had taken great pains to write a detailed and orderly account for us to study. You will appreciate his precision in details and description. Even though you might be teaching or studying the Gospel of Luke as a subject for SPM, nevertheless you can take time to slow down and smell the owers, as it were. This means you are not just studying the facts but also endeavoring to relate the divine text to your life and situations. Most of all, focus on getting to know Jesus personally and grow in your relationship with God as you study this gospel written by Luke and his sequel the Book of Acts. This short guide is a tool to help you build that bridge between the ancient text and your context today. As you take time to study the text and reect on what this little e-booklet seeks to guide you to meditate on, I pray that the Holy Spirit will speak straight into your heart. Introduction Page 5 The Gospel of Luke (Chapter 3): A Reective Guide Here is a short description about the parts in each section that is set up to help you make this journey even more exciting: Learning Objective : This statement helps you set up your expectations as you read this passage and study it. Success Criteria : After you have nished your study, check if you have achieved what you set out to do using the criteria stated in this part.

Teachers can use this booklet to lead meaningful discussions as you teach the text in the Gospel of Luke. You can use this guide to help your students think more deeply and personally about what they are studying. If you are a student, you can use this guide to help you go deeper in your study, not just memorising the facts.

Introduction Page 6 The Gospel of Luke (Chapter 3): A Reective Guide Most of all, let the voice of God be heard by both teachers and students as you engage in the most important book in the world - the Bible. This will be a lifelong practice that will be such a positive impact in your life and transform you into a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ. Amen! Your fellow pilgrim, Dr. Ng Kee Chuan Introduction Page 7 The Gospel of Luke (Chapter 3): A Reective Guide THE GOSPEL OF LUKE (CHAPTER 3) 1. John’s Baptism of Repentance (Luke 3:1-14) Luke 3:1–14 (GNB) It was the fteenth year of the rule of the Emperor Tiberius; Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother Philip was ruler of the territory of Iturea and Trachonitis; Lysanias was ruler of Abilene, and Annas and Caiaphas were high priests. At that time the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert. So John went throughout the whole territory of the River Jordan, preaching, “Turn away from your sins and be baptized, and God will forgive your sins.” As it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah: “Someone is shouting in the desert: ‘Get the road ready for the Lord; make a straight path for him to travel! Every valley must be lled up, 1. John’s Baptism of Repentance (Luke 3:1-14) Page 8 The Gospel of Luke (Chapter 3): A Reective Guide every hill and mountain levelled off. The winding roads must be made straight, and the rough paths made smooth. The whole human race will see God’s salvation!’ ” Crowds of people came out to John to be baptized by him. “You snakes!” he said to them. “Who told you that you could escape from the punishment God is about to send? Do those things that will show that you have turned from your sins. And don’t start saying among yourselves that Abraham is your ancestor. I tell you that God can take these stones and make descendants for Abraham! The axe is ready to cut down the trees at the roots; every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown in the re.” The people asked him, “What are we to do, then?” He answered, “Whoever has two shirts must give one to the man who has none, and whoever has food must share it.” Some tax collectors came to be baptized, and they asked him, “Teacher, what are we to do?” “Don’t collect more than is legal,” he told them. Some soldiers also asked him, “What about us? What are we to do?” 1. John’s Baptism of Repentance (Luke 3:1-14) Page 9 The Gospel of Luke (Chapter 3): A Reective Guide He said to them, “Don’t take money from anyone by force or accuse anyone falsely. Be content with your pay.” Learning Objective At the end of the interaction, I should be able to: Evaluate the genuineness of my own repentance. Success Criteria At the end of the interaction, I am be able to: Check for true repentance based on a change in my heart, mind, direction, action and behaviour. Attribute my conversion based on the fruits of my life in keeping with true repentance. Engage Who was the most ery preacher that you have ever heard? How did he or she make you feel? Why? 1. John’s Baptism of Repentance (Luke 3:1-14) Page 10 The Gospel of Luke (Chapter 3): A Reective Guide Explore Luke, as a historian, tends to give details in his writings that authenticates the date and setting of his records. He does this at the beginning of chapter three when he names at least seven historical gures to establish the date and setting of John the Baptist’s ministry. The political rules he names were Tiberius, Pilate, Herod, Philip and Lysanias indicates that the period was about A.D. 27-29 (Kent, 1998). Together they formed the dark and wicked political leaders of the Roman/Palestinain powers. Luke also names the spiritual leaders Annas and Caiaphas who were the degenerate Jewish priesthood of the day. Annas had been high priest from A.D. 6-15 and was succeeded by four sons in succession and eventually by his son-in-law Caiaphas. Nepotism was clearly practiced and Annas maintained power and control by keeping the high priest position within his family. It is in this climate of evil and wicked rulers that John the Baptist bursts into the scene as a ery and fearless preacher.

  • Who Were the Kenites? OTE 24/2 (2011): 414-430

    Who Were the Kenites? OTE 24/2 (2011): 414-430

    414 Mondriaan: Who were the Kenites? OTE 24/2 (2011): 414-430 Who were the Kenites? MARLENE E. MONDRIAAN (U NIVERSITY OF PRETORIA ) ABSTRACT This article examines the Kenite tribe, particularly considering their importance as suggested by the Kenite hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, the Kenites, and the Midianites, were the peoples who introduced Moses to the cult of Yahwism, before he was confronted by Yahweh from the burning bush. Scholars have identified the Cain narrative of Gen 4 as the possible aetiological legend of the Kenites, and Cain as the eponymous ancestor of these people. The purpose of this research is to ascertain whether there is any substantiation for this allegation connecting the Kenites to Cain, as well as con- templating the Kenites’ possible importance for the Yahwistic faith. Information in the Hebrew Bible concerning the Kenites is sparse. Traits associated with the Kenites, and their lifestyle, could be linked to descendants of Cain. The three sons of Lamech represent particular occupational groups, which are also connected to the Kenites. The nomadic Kenites seemingly roamed the regions south of Palestine. According to particular texts in the Hebrew Bible, Yahweh emanated from regions south of Palestine. It is, therefore, plausible that the Kenites were familiar with a form of Yahwism, a cult that could have been introduced by them to Moses, as suggested by the Kenite hypothesis. Their particular trade as metalworkers afforded them the opportunity to also introduce their faith in the northern regions of Palestine. This article analyses the etymology of the word “Kenite,” the ancestry of the Kenites, their lifestyle, and their religion.

    What's in a Name? a Look at Genealogies… 1. Study Matthew 1:1-18

    What’s in a name? A look at genealogies… 1. Study Matthew 1:1-18 and Luke 3:23-38. What do you know about the authors? Matthew was financially well off and had his own house. He was educated and knew how to read and write. As a Jewish publican, a tax collector, fellow Jews despised him. Luke was a physician and companion of Paul. As a Gentile, he recorded as a historian and did careful research. 2. Make a table of the names of each genealogy. What do you notice? Matthew 1:1-18 Abraham-David David-Exile Exile-Jesus 15.

Jesus Observations of Matthew : Matthew's accounting of Israel's kings was for the Jewish audience who were interested in Jesus' royal-legal lineage as decreed by the Davidic covenants (2 Sam 7:8-13). This is perhaps emphasized as Matthew lists in a descending order: "...father of..." with the range of genealogy: Abraham-Jesus. By beginning with Abraham, Matthew stresses Jesus’ Jewish ancestry. The genealogical list is short, because Matthew does not list a number of generations.

He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he lay uncovered in his tent. –Genesis 9: 20-21 lthough the Genesis story of the Flood in Genesis, chapters 6-9, features Noah as the hero of the flood, the story in Genesis 9:20-21 identifies him Aas the hero of the vine. This second story is not as dramatic as the story of the flood, but it is rich with implications and raises many questions. Is this story an inventor’s saga or a cultural myth of the discovery of wine? Is Noah’s drunkenness a psychological reaction to a demoralization triggered by the flood? Is the brief story to be a warning against drunkenness? Who was Noah and why should we remember him? I.
  • Challenging the Authenticity of Cainan, Son of Arpachshad

    Challenging the Authenticity of Cainan, Son of Arpachshad

    JETS 60/4 (2017): 697–711 CHALLENGING THE AUTHENTICITY OF CAINAN, SON OF ARPACHSHAD ANDREW E. STEINMANN* Abstract: Most English versions list Cainan as son of Arphaxad and father of Shelah at Luke 3:36, although this person is not mentioned in the genealogies in Genesis 10, Genesis 11, or 1 Chronicles 1. This study examines the evidence for Cainan as a member of these ge- nealogies in ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek sources from the second century BC through the fifth century AD. After demonstrating that there is no evidence for Cainan in these geneal- ogies before the late fourth century AD, the study concludes that Cainan was an accidental scribal displacement of the name from Luke 3:37 into the text of Luke 3:36. Subsequently, under the influence of this later text of Luke, Christian scribes added the name to other texts, including Genesis 10 LXX, Genesis 11 LXX, some manuscripts of 1 Chronicles 1 LXX, and the book of Jubilees. Key words: Cainan, Samaritan Pentateuch, targums, Codex Alexandrinus (A), Codex Vaticanus (B), Josephus, Julius Africanus, Theophilus of Antioch, Augustine, Jubilees One little-discussed problem in the biblical genealogies is the presence of Cainan, a supposed son/descendant of Arpachshad and father/ancestor of Shelah in the genealogies. This name is present in the genealogy of Jesus provided by Luke (Luke 3:36) as well as in Septuagint genealogies in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10) and in the genealogy from Shem to Abram in Gen 11:12 LXX.1 However, Cainan is absent from the Masoretic text in the OT at Gen 10:24, Gen 11:12, and 1 Chr 1:18.

    GENESIS: Where Grace Begins A Step Above Mere Living By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. - Hebrews 11:5 (ESV) What Happened to Adam? 5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. 3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4 The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. 5 Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died. Genesis 5:1-5 He was created by GOD’S OWN hand. He was formed in GOD’S IMAGE. He was BLESSED by God. He SINNED against God and therefore he DIED. 6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh. 7 Seth lived after he fathered Enosh 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8 Thus all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died. 9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he fathered Kenan. 10 Enosh lived after he fathered Kenan 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 Thus all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died. 12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalalel.

    When God first created the Earth, people lived a long time, a long, long time ... ... a very long time like 700, 800, and 900 years. Living that long made people very old. This story is about a few very old men and the oldest man that ever lived. Find the heart on every page reminding us who God is. His name is Methuselah. God is patient. Methuselah’s story is found between the stories of Adam and Noah. You can find it at the beginning of the Bible in a book called Genesis. Do you remember the story about when Adam sinned? Do you think people learned their lesson? They did not. They continued to sin and things got worse. This is very sad. In Genesis 6 the Bible tells us the Earth was growing with people. God saw the wickedness of the people not only in their choices but Designed & Written by Jennifer Abbatacola also in their hearts. In our hearts is where sin begins.

UNUK TASVİRİ (ÜSLUP VE İKONOGRAFİ) Gulzoda MAKHMUDJONOVA** Abstract In Islamic Art, the tradition of depicting texts of history took shape in Tabriz from the very beginning of the 14th century. In the 15th century, Herat School of illustration revived this tradition and continued the production of works of illustrated manuscripts. Having been written by the order of Shahrukh, included the general history of the world and prophets, Kulliyat-Tarikhi was compiled in Herat, one of the most productive centers of art in the Timurid period. The work of art is preserved in the library of Topkapı Palace Library (Baghdad 282). In this article, firstly codicological features of the book were defined and detailed information was given as to the content of the illustration program of the book. The depiction of Noah’s Ark and the ‘Uj’ in the book was compared with other illustrated manuscripts in the 14th-15th century. From this respect, this study is crucial for us in terms of seeing the formation of the illustration program of historical texts including Noah’s Ark and their influence on the development process in the 16th century. Gathering and studying images about Noah’s Flood in the works of Islamic art of painting including the history of prophets in the 14th and 15th centuries will contribute to the literature of History of Art, as it is an up-to-date study.
