ETS, Atlanta 2010 “The Prophet Jeremiah as Theological Symbol in the Book of Jeremiah” Gary E. Yates, Ph.D. Introduction Timothy Polk has noted, “Nothing distinguishes the book of Jeremiah from earlier works of prophecy quite so much as the attention it devotes to the person of the prophet and the prominence it accords the prophetic ‘I’, and few things receive more scholarly comment.”1 More than simply providing a biographical or psychological portrait of the prophet, the book presents Jeremiah as a theological symbol who embodies in his person the word of Yahweh and the office of prophet. 2 In fact, the figure of Jeremiah is so central that a theology of the book of Jeremiah “cannot be formulated without taking into account the person of the prophet, as the book presents him.”3 The purpose of this study is to explore how Jeremiah the person functions as a theological symbol and what these motifs contribute to the overall theology of the book of Jeremiah.

    Text: 1 Kings 13:1-33 (NIV): John 14:15. Title: How to Overcome the Temptation of Disobeying God’s Voice 1 By the word of the Lord a man of God came from Judah to Bethel, as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to make an offering. 2 By the word of the Lord he cried out against the altar: “Altar, altar! This is what the Lord says: ‘A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who make offerings here, and human bones will be burned on you.’” 3 That same day the man of God gave a sign: “This is the sign the Lord has declared: The altar will be split apart and the ashes on it will be poured out.” 4 When King Jeroboam heard what the man of God cried out against the altar at Bethel, he stretched out his hand from the altar and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward the man shriveled up, so that he could not pull it back. 5 Also, the altar was split apart and its ashes poured out according to the sign given by the man of God by the word of the Lord. 6 Then the king said to the man of God, “Intercede with the Lord your God and pray for me that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored and became as it was before.

  • The King As Warrior in Samuel-Kings
    THE KING AS WARRIOR IN SAMUEL-KINGS by SAM MEIER The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210 It is becoming increasingly complex to speak of the Deuteronomistic (Dtr) historians, the boundaries of their works, and the theological and historical issues of significance to them. Noth's assertion that the Dtr His­ tory was penned by a single historian using written sources is no longer widely accepted despite continued attempts to perceive a broad unity to the work. 1 The fracturing of the work's unity has multiplied the number of ancient Israelites who now bear the epithet Dtr with a distinguishing numeral (DtrL Dtr2) or letter (DtrH, DtrP, DtrN).2 Large blocks of mate­ i:ial within the history still lack a consensus as to origin: the narratives associated with David's rise to kingship, for example, are explained by a variety of source analyses. 3 Even the context and date of the succession history is suspect, with some even affirming that it is both post-Dtr and antimonarchic (Van Seters 1983, pp. 277-291). It is evident that considerable work remains to be done in identifying with confidence the varied trajectories of the Dtr work(s) (cf. Ackroyd, 1985, 301-305). The problem is further compounded by the numerous sources, whose content may (or may not) be related to the primary and changing interests of the Dtr historians. In a work of such broad scope encompassing diverse sociological, political and religious ideologies, identifying what is I. McKenzie (1991) presents with sensitive nuancing the most recent apologetic for Noth's basic thesis with appropriate modifications.

  • THROUGH the BIBLE ISAIAH 15-19 in the Bible God Judges Individuals, and Families, and Churches, and Cities, and Even Nations…
    THROUGH THE BIBLE ISAIAH 15-19 ! In the Bible God judges individuals, and families, and churches, and cities, and even nations… I would assume He also judges businesses, and labor unions, and school systems, and civic groups, and athletic associations - all of life is God’s domain. Starting in Isaiah 13, God launches a series of judgments against the Gentile nations of his day. Making Isaiah’s list are Babylon, Assyria, Philistia, Moab, Ethiopia, Egypt, Edom, Tyre, and Syria. Tonight we’ll study God’s burden against the nations. ! Isaiah 15 begins, “The burden against Moab…” Three nations bordered Israel to the east - Moab, Edom, and Ammon. Today this area makes up the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan - a pro-Western monarchy with its capitol city of Amman - or Ammon. ! Today, it’s fashionable to research your roots - track down the family tree. Websites like Ancestry.com utilize the power of the Internet to uncover your genealogy. For some folks this is a fun and meaningful pastime. For me, I’ve always been a little leery… I suspect I’m from a long line of horse thieves and swindlers. I’m not sure I want to know my ancestry. This is probably how most Moabites felt regarding their progenitors… ! The Moabites were a people with some definite skeletons in the closest! Their family tree had root rot. Recently, I read of a Michigan woman who gave her baby up for adoption. Sixteen years later she tracked him down on FB… only to get romantically involved. She had sex with her son… Obviously this gal is one sick pup.

A Sufficiently Republican Church: George David Cummins and the Reformed Episcopalians in 1873 Abstract In 1873 George David Cummins, the assistant bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Kentucky, rocked the complacency of the Protestant Episcopal Church by resigning his Kentucky episcopate and founding an entirely new Episcopal denomination, the Reformed Episcopal Church. Schismatic movements in American religion are hardly a novelty. Still, Cummins and his movement occupy a peculiar position in both the history of American religion and the cultural history of the Gilded Age. Unlike the wave of church schisms before the Civil War, the Reformed Episcopal schism of 1873 had no clear relation to sectional issues.
