Author's Acknowledgements The theme: "the Spiritual History of Israel", was originally suggested by the Rev. L. S. Albright, D.D., Director of the Canadian School of Missions, Toronto, as a course of lectures. These were delivered at the School in the fall and winter of 1958. I am grateful to Dr Albright for the impulse which ultimately resulted in the publication of the present book. Prof. R. A. Ward of Wycliffe College, Toronto, kindly read the MS. and made valuable suggestions; in addition, he generously agreed to write the Foreword. To have his name associated with this book adds to it a good measure of theological respectability. My dear friend, E. P. E. Lipson, M.A., out of the goodness of his heart, has undertaken to read the proofs and to verify the biblical quotations. The author owes to him a great debt of gratitude for his valuable help. Amidst many duties, my wife has managed to find both patience and time to decipher my handwriting, to type the MS. and to compile the indices. To her goes the credit for performing the most tiresome task, with cheerfulness and devotion. Last, but not least, I am indebted to the Publishers for their painstaking care over the production of this work. !5 of 170! FORWARD by Professor R. A. Ward, M.A., B.D., Ph.D. I have been asked to write a Foreword to the book written by my friend and colleague, the Reverend Dr Jakob Jocz, Professor of Systematic Theology in Wycliffe College in the University of Toronto. To some extent his request is an embarrassing one. "I have need to be baptised of thee, and comest thou to me?" His profound scholarship and wide reputation need no comment of mine. But such is the persuasion of friendship that I have given way - with a good deal of pleasure. Dr. Jocz disclaims any party association, and this is characteristic of the man. At all times he remains himself, his unique, critical, believing and lovable self. He is not a liberal ("It is an aberration of theology . .") and he dislikes fundamentalism. I share his dislike of certain aspects of this movement, especially in some parts of the world where contending for the faith has become little more than virulent abuse. Indeed I deprecate the use of the term itself, as it has become a theological swear-word, not to be used in polite society. But I am entirely with him in his objection to what may be termed the 'mechanical' in our view of Holy Scripture. Fortunately evangelicals have long ago shifted from this position, though it is not always realized by their critics. It may indeed be questioned whether scholarly evangelicals have ever really believed in a mechanical theory of inspiration. The author, then, is repelled by the two extremes. Where are the readers to place this man who would elude the party whips? He believes in the catholicity of the Church but he does not place more weight on the word 'catholic' than it was meant to bear. There is reason to believe that the uncompromising rigidity of certain contributions to ecumenical discussion has shown him his true place. I believe that his place - and his heart - is with those Christians who stand under the Word of God and are skilled in what used to be called experimental "religion". That, ultimately, is the theme of this book. The prophets, says Dr Jocz, are a special case. Their secret is beyond our investigation and cannot be rationalized or explained. "But it is not the secret of the gnostic or the initiated who keeps his knowledge for the select few; it is rather the secret of the inner life of faith open to all who want to enter into its sanctuary." Those who have thus entered and enjoy that fellowship with God in Christ through the Spirit which is nowadays called experiential "religion" are at one with the prophets: there is a prophetic preaching and a prophetic hearing of the Word of God. This should be pondered by pulpit and pew alike. There are places in this book where our paths separate. I should wish to assign far more historicity to some passages in the Old Testament than Dr Jocz would allow; and I believe in election to salvation as well as election to service. How did I ever have the sense to believe in Christ unless He chose me before I chose Him? Without His effective call, should I ever have responded? Again, without this doctrine of 'unspeakable comfort', as Article XVII terms it, how would the preacher proclaim his message with the conviction that "I have much people in this city"? I see no reason to criticize the statement in the Athanasian Creed that our Lord Jesus Christ is one Christ, "not by conversion of Godhead into flesh, but by taking manhood into God", though I sympathize with the truth for which Dr Jocz is contending. Much !6 of 170! depends on the meaning of 'conversion' here. But these, and other such subjects have long been debated within the evangelical camp, just as in the days of Wesley and Whitefleld. These are not trivial matters. But they have not quite that centrality which we associate with St Paul's expression, 'the Word of the Cross'. What evangelical, then, could quarrel with a man whose theological thought converges on the Cross and whose personal life radiates from it? Consider these significant quotations: "The 'wrath of God' is not meant to be treated as a metaphor but as a terrifying fact. We will never understand the Gospel unless we grasp the seriousness of God's judgement upon sin. The Law speaks in no metaphors but in dead earnestness about God's displeasure with the sinner. The sacrifice on the Cross on the part of the Messiah is the means whereby atonement is achieved. God, though righteous and holy, accepts the Death of His Son in lieu of the death of the sinner and graciously forgives. What the Gospel offered was nothing less than salvation as a fact here and now." All this speaks for itself. Dr Jocz speaks from within, and as a hearer. He declines a label and will not attach himself to any particular school of thought. So be it. He retains his intellectual and theological freedom. But he will not complain if those who glory in the authentic New Testament Gospel and strengthen one another's hands in evangelical associations claim him as a brother. Deep called unto deep. The author is stimulating, even provocative at times. In his exposition he can criticize urban civilization and make the Tower of Babel relevant to our day and generation. He sees in the perspective of history that the encounter between Church and world has affected both parties, and he therefore draws a distinction between Christianity and the Gospel. All who love the Reformation - and Dr Jocz is a theologian in the reformed tradition - will welcome the statement that "there is probably a closer connection between primitive Christianity and the Old Testament, than there is between the former and historic Christianity".

  • The Bible Code: “Teaching Them [Wrong] Things” Richard A
    JETS 43/4 (December 2000) 619–636 THE BIBLE CODE: “TEACHING THEM [WRONG] THINGS” RICHARD A. TAYLOR* I. INTRODUCTION Michael Drosnin, author of the 1997 New York Times best-selling book entitled The Bible Code, tells of ˘ying to Israel on 1 September 1994 in order to convey to then Israeli prime minister Rabin an urgent and sober warning. Drosnin had learned that the only time the name Yitzhak Rabin appeared in the Bible code it intersected the words “assassin that will assassinate.” Drosnin had therefore concluded that the life of the Prime Minister was in grave danger. But he also thought that if immediate action were taken this imminent catastrophe could perhaps be avoided. When he arrived in Israel, Drosnin met with Israeli poet Chaim Guri, a close friend of the prime min- ister, who in turn conveyed Drosnin’s message to Rabin. Drosnin urged that the Bible code message concerning Rabin be taken seriously, especially in light of the fact that the same Bible code had also accurately announced the prior assassinations of Anwar Sadat, John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, and Mahatma Gandi. Drosnin’s mission, however, did not meet with success. Less than a year later, on 4 November 1995, Yitzhak Rabin was unexpectedly killed by a Jewish assassin.1 * Richard A. Taylor is professor of Old Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary, 3909 Swiss Avenue, Dallas, TX 75204. Editor’s Note: The theme of the ˜ftieth-anniversary conference of the Evangelical Theological Society where this paper was ˜rst presented was “teaching them all things” (Matt 28:20).

Newman 29 January 2008 2 Thesis Abstract The dissertation is a chiasmic reading of the works of Jean Genet and Emmanuel Levinas, examining the way they each address the relation to the Other in terms of ethics and subjectivity. Whereas a straightforward association between the two writers might seem paradoxical because of the differences in their approaches and rhetoric, a chiasmic reading allows intricate approaches, moments of proximity and departures to be read both conceptually and aesthetically. We show that these two writers share a tightly-woven discursive neighbourhood, and examine that neighbourhood through detailed analysis of various textual encounters.

  • Transformations Class Discussions
    TRANSFORMATIONS CLASS DISCUSSIONS FOR THE TEACHERS The Excellence Through Classics Resource Committee wants to provide you with some resources that you can use in your classroom to help foster a deeper understanding of the myths present in our exam. There is a debate currently occurring in classrooms about how to approach teaching myths that have underlying violence against women in them. Excellence Through Classics acknowledges that the way the D’Aulaires presented their stories erases these violent actions. Many myths about transformations are about how one character (god or human) breaks societal rules and expectations and often acts with hubris. These stories serve as warnings about how not to act in ancient Mediterranian society, like La Llorona of the Southwest, or the Boy Who Cried Wolf for children today. We should remember that the ancient Mediterranian had different rules of conduct than the modern world. So while these stories may have told a Greek boy, a Roman Girl, an Egyptian teenager or a Celtic baby how to act in their world, it does not always tell us how to act in ours. Poetry and mythology can also be seen as a way for the reader to understand and discuss problematic modern situations. Many of these stories in D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths are to Greek Mythology like the Disney ​ ​ version are to the German Fairy Tales, and some of the darker elements are masked or ignored completely. The Little Mermaid ends on a happy note in the Disney movie while Hans Christian Andersen’s original tale has a darker tone.

  • Correlation of Revelatory Spiritual Gifts and Nt Canonicity
    TMSJ 8/1 (Spring 1997) 5-28 CORRELATION OF REVELATORY SPIRITUAL GIFTS AND NT CANONICITY Robert L. Thomas Professor of New Testament Paul uses portions of three of his epistles to develop the role of spiritual gifts in building the body of Christ. Among the eighteen gifts he lists are four that provide for the impartation of special revelation necessary for the body's growth: the gifts of apostleship, prophecy, the word of wisdom, and the word of knowledge. In discussions of NT canonicity, apostleship has been prominent, but a study of relevant passages shows that prophecy also played an important part in furnishing the early church with special revelation. Several NT examples, particularly the Apocalypse, reinforce this observation. In their efforts to single out books for inclusion in the NT canon, early Christian leaders looked for the works that were inspired, narrowing their search by concentrating on works by men whose spiritual gifts capacities included apostleship and prophecy. A number of early Christian writings verify their interest, not just in apostolicity, but also in the propheticity of a writing. After narrowing down their possibilities to works authored by apostles and prophets, they applied tests of antiquity, orthodoxy, catholicity, and traditional usage to finalize their list of NT books. * * * * * In three of his epistles—Romans, 1 Corinthians, and Ephesians—the apostle Paul speaks of God's building of the body of Christ through spiritual gifts He bestows on individual believers. Among the eighteen gifts that Paul mentions, are several that provided for special revelation to the church, revelation that would complement the inspired data available to early Christians in the OT.

  • Fate and Death Through a Daimonic Lens
    FATE AND DEATH THROUGH A DAIMONIC LENS FATE AND DEATH THROUGH A DAIMONIC LENS By JASON SOLOMON BINDER, B.A.Sc., B.A. Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Jason Solomon Binder, September 2014 MA Thesis – J. Binder; McMaster University – Classics. McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2014) Hamilton, Ontario (Classics) TITLE: Fate and Death through a Daimonic Lens AUTHOR: Jason Solomon Binder, B.A.Sc., B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Sean Corner NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 101 ii MA Thesis – J. Binder; McMaster University – Classics. Abstract This thesis is concerned with the ancient Greek conceptualization of fate and death, as explored through the figure of the daimon in literature from Homer and Hesiod to Plato and Euripides. Filling a gap in scholarship, I elucidate the spectrum of meaning inherent in the word daimon, and how it shifts over time. From the Archaic to the Classical period the word daimon is found as a synonym for theos, “god”, as a vocative address, or in reference to “fate” and the generalized “will of heaven.” At the same time, a particular group of divine personifications, including Thanatos, Moira, Ker, and Erinys are counted as daimones. We also find the term used to designate unnamed but individuated lesser divinities, guardian spirits, and demonic possessors, and even as the divine aspect of the self. In the early Archaic poets these latter categories are only nascent. The individuated daimon becomes the focus of the lyric poets and pre-Socratic philosophers; in the later pre-Socratics the daimon begins to be internalized, moving from possessive spirit to psychic force.

  • A Commentary on Solon's Poems a Thesis Submitted for the Degree Of
    A Commentary on Solon's Poems A Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maria Noussia University College London February, 1999 BIET, LOIMOI1 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a Commentary on Solon's Poems (elegiacs and tetrameters; the iambic trimeters, though taken into consideration for the examination of the rest of the poems, are not given a detailed commentary). Solon's poetry is studied mainly from a literary point of view; it is compared with the language and vocabulary of his predecessors Homer, Hesiod, and the other lyric poets of his age. The study attests the influence of Solon's language, content, motives, and ethical / political ideas on his lyric successors, on Aristophanes and the tragedians (above all Euripides who specifically appears to share the ideology of the polls and the heightened consciousness about civic affairs which emerged in the Athenian community under Solon) as well as the coincidence between Solon's ethical statements and the topoi of the language of the inscriptions. This is not a historical Commentary; the connections of Solon's poetry with his Laws as well as with the historical situation of his time and the reforms he sponsored are taken into consideration only when they are useful and rewarding in the answers they provide for the interpretation of the Solonian poetry. The emphasis of this work is on Solon's poetry as a work of Literature and on Solon's poetic achievements.
