  • The Holy Land in History and Scripture: Galilee and Samaria Session #7: Bethsaida, Chorazin, and Capernaum: Much Given, Much Required Patrick D
    The Holy Land in History and Scripture: Galilee and Samaria Session #7: Bethsaida, Chorazin, and Capernaum: Much Given, Much Required Patrick D. Degn Matthew 11:20 ¶Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: 21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. D&C 82:3 For of him unto whom much is given much is required; and he who sins against the greater light shall receive the greater condemnation. Miracles in Capernaum Capernaum was one of three cities (with Chorazin and Bethsaida) where the majority of Jesus’ miracles were done. These miracles are: a. Peter’s mother-in-law was healed (Matt 8:14, 15). b. The centurion’s servant was healed (Matt 8:5-13). This man had helped build the synagogue (Luke 7:2-20). c. The paralyzed man who was let down through the roof was also healed (Matt 9:1-8).

  • The Religion of Ancient Palestine in the Light of Archaeology the God of Beth-Shan the Religion of Ancient Palestine in the Light of Archaeology
    THE SCHWEICH LECTURES ON BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 1925 THE RELIGION OF ANCIENT PALESTINE IN THE LIGHT OF ARCHAEOLOGY THE GOD OF BETH-SHAN THE RELIGION OF ANCIENT PALESTINE IN THE LIGHT OF ARCHAEOLOGY BY STANLEY A. COOK, M.A., LITT.D. FELLOW OF GONVILLE AND CAIUS COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY LECTURER IN HEBREW AND ARAMAIC THE SCHWEICH LECTURES OF THE BRITISH ACADEMY LONDON PUBLISHED FOR THE BRITISH ACADEMY BY HUMPHREY MILFORD, OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS AMEN HOUSE, E,C. 1930 OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS AMEN HOUSE, E.C. 4 LONDON EDINBURGH GLASGOW LEIPZIG NEW YOR~ TORONTO MELBOURNE CAPETOWN BOMBAY CALCUTTA MADRAS SHANGHAI HUMPHREY MILFORD PUBLISHER TO THE UNIVERSITY Printed in Great Britain PREFACE HE title and subject of this book will recall the in­ T auguration of the Schweich Lectures more than twenty years ago, when the late Samuel Rolles Driver gave an account of the contribution of archaeology and the monu­ ments to Biblical study. Modern Research as illustrating the Bible, the title of his lectures, was a subject to which that great and many-sided scholar felt himself closely drawn; and neither that book nor any of his other writings on the subject can be ignored to-day in spite of the time that has elapsed. For although much has been done, especially since the War, in adding to our knowledge of Oriental archaeo­ logy and in the discussion of problems arising therefrom, Dr. Driver performed lasting service, not only in opening up what to many readers was a new world, but also in setting forth, with his usual completeness and clearness, both the real significance of the new discoveries and the principles to be employed when the Biblical records and the 'external' evidence are inter-related.1 When, therefore, I was asked, in 1925, to deliver the Schweich Lectures, the suggestion that some account might be given of the work subsequent to 1908 encouraged the wish I had long entertained: to reconsider the religion of Palestine primarily and mainly from the point of view of archaeology.

  • Medusa Image from Chorazin Synagogue Greetings! in Sunday's
    I have given you authority over all the power of the Enemy, and to walk among serpents and scorpions and to crush them. Nothing shall injure you! However, the important thing is not that demons obey you, but that your names are registered as citizens of heaven. Luke 10:19-20 (TLB) Your children are the way God helps you feel joy in the position of a creator, the joy God felt when He created Adam and Eve. Children are the second creation, coming through Adam and Eve. The incorporeal God created Adam and Eve as beings of substance having a physical form. If Adam and Eve had reached perfection, they would have become the central representatives of love as the perfection of God's corporeal being. Just as God felt joy after creating Adam and Eve, children are given to you so that you can substantially feel and experience God's joy of creation. CSG 98 Greetings! In Sunday's powerful service, Hyung Jin Nim, reflecting on the Blessing conducted last week at the Sanctuary Family Camp, explained that receiving the Marriage Blessing is not about yourselves. It is about God, serving Him. With that rock, you can overcome your mediocre, superficial problems. The political Left discourages couples from having children, but you will have a wonderful time with your kids. One on one time with them will add up. They will become your "swat team," your gang. They are the most valuable assets if raised well to become Kings and Queens. He also discussed the passage in Luke 10:13 where Jesus cursed the towns of Chorazin and Bethsaida, "Woe unto thee, Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, Sanctuary Camp Marriage Blessing 7/17/2018 which have been done in you, they would have a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes." Perhaps one of the reasons that the Jewish inhabitants of these towns ignored Jesus' words and miracles was their involvement with pagan practices.

The desire of the Jews to maintain their na- tional and religious identity, when scattered among the nations, finds its actual expression in self organization, which has served to a ram- part against external influence. The dispersion of the people in modern times has become one of its unique characteristics. Things were different in classical period, and especially in the Hellenistic period, following the conquests of Alexander the Great, when disper- sion and segregational organization were by no means an exceptional phenomenon, as revealed by a close examination of the history of other nations.

  • Jesus Free from Postmodern Reconstructions: Was Jesus a Galilean Jew Or a Jewish Hellenist?
    Journal for Baptist Theology and Ministry Vol. 2 No. 2 (Fall 2004): 113-134 Setting Jesus Free from Postmodern Reconstructions: Was Jesus a Galilean Jew or a Jewish Hellenist? Steven M. Ortiz Assistant Professor of Archaeology and Biblical Studies New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary 3939 Gentilly Blvd. New Orleans, LA 70126 Introduction Popular culture is searching for the real Jesus. The success of Mel Gibson’s movie The Passion and the book The DaVinci Code illustrate that Jesus is still important to Western Culture. The question is whether popular culture is meeting the real Jesus or a reconstructed Jesus who looks like a 21st century philosopher. The same question can be asked of today’s church. Which Jesus are we introducing to people who come to our Church? Which Jesus are we preaching from our pulpits? Which Jesus are people seeing living through our lives? Today there is a tension between the authentic Jesus and the desire to deconstruct Jesus into our image. This tension in the pulpit and pews correlates to trends among biblical scholars within acadamia. Perhaps one of the most influential movements in Historical Jesus Studies is the Jesus Seminar. The Jesus Seminar was founded in 1985 by Robert Funk. This is an assembled group of New Testament scholars whose goal is to examine every tradition associated with Jesus and determine what he actually said. This group of scholars assembled in order to ascertain via vote which of the statements attributed to Jesus in the Gospels (including the apocryphal Gospel of Thomas) were actually said by Jesus.

Winter __________________________ Copyright © Matthew A. Winter 2020 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the SCHOOL OF ANTHROPOLOGY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In the Graduate College THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA 2020 1 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a dissertation is no easy task, and there are many people who had a profound influence on me. As I sit down to write these acknowledgments, I realize now that even though a dissertation may at times feel like a lonely, and rather frustrating, endeavor, in truth I was never alone. I was surrounded by an academic community that provided me with a stimulating and collegial environment within which I could create and develop — and many times entirely discard — the ideas that would eventually culminate in this dissertation, and by friends and family who offered love and support. During my graduate education a number of professors, many of whom were outside of my field or specific focus, encouraged and challenged me to think deeply about the discipline of archaeology and anthropology, and to them I owe my gratitude.
