Ernst Lohmeyer's Kyrios Jesus Revisited
Ernst Lohmeyer’s Kyrios Jesus Revisited Colin Brown September 19, 1996 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the judicial murder of one of the great NT scholars of our time, Ernst Lohmeyer. In an early memorial tribute Oscar Cullmann observed that all future study of Phil. 2:6-11 must take as its starting point the insights of Lohmeyer’s Kyrios Jesus (1928). Lohmeyer’s identification of Phil. 2:6-11 as a pre- Pauline psalm is well known. However, the form-critical analysis which led to this conclusion was by no means the sole contribution of his monograph. Lohmeyer proceeded to suggest theories concerning its place in the eucharistic worship of the primitive Jerusalem church, its role in the development of primitive christology, and its relationship to other literature of the New Testament. All this was done within the context of a metaphysic which Lohmeyer saw not only as the key to understanding the humiliation and exaltation of the servant figure in the psalm, but as the motivating force of Christian living. Lohmeyer divided the passage into two strophes each consisting of three three-line stanzas ( Kyrios Jesus , 5-6; Lohmeyer, KEK 9 [1930], 90): (1) 6 [The one] existing in the form of God [ evn morfh/| qeou/] considered it not plunder [ ouvc a`rpagmo.n ] to be like God [ to. ei=nai i;sa qew/|], (2) 7 but sacrificed himself [ avlla. e`auto.n evke,nwsen ], having taken the form of a slave, having become an image of humanity; (3) and [though] being found “as Son of Man [ w`j a;nqrwpoj ]” 8 he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death [death on a cross].

Adonai & Elohim
Adonai (Adonay) & Elohim/El/Eloah & / / אלה אל אלוהים אֲדֹנָי Except for "YHWH", the two most common names/titles for GOD in the Biblia Hebraica (Hebrew Bible) are "Adonai" and "Elohim". Apart from the name "YHWH", the designations "Adonai" and "Elohim" say more about the GOD of Israel than any other name. Certainly, all that the names embody deserve considerable deliberation. Because the two words are so similar to each other and are often combined in the Old Testament, I thought it logical to study these two names together. Etymology -mean ,(" אָדֹן") (Adonai: "Adonai " derives from the Hebrew root "adon " (pronounced 'âdôn ing master , owner , or sovereign ruler . Thus, when referring to the GOD of Israel, the name expresses the authority and the exalted position of GOD. In the ordinary sense, "adon " refers to both human and divine relationships. The word "adon " (plural "adonai") appears ±335 times throughout Scripture, frequently in reference to a servant’s master or the family patriarch. So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my lord (adon) is old, will I now have this pleasure?" (Genesis 18:12 parenthetical text added ) "My lords (adonai) ," he said, "please turn aside to your servant's house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning." (Genesis 19:2a parenthetical text added ) The angel answered me, "These are the four spirits of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord (Adon) of the whole world. (Zechariah 6:5 parenthetical text added ) is the emphatic plural form of "adon" and is used exclusively as a (" אֲדֹנָי") "The name "Adonai proper name of God.

Names of God KOG 1/24/21
Names of God (week of feb 7) start here This week's name - Adonai - is the plural version of the word Adon which means ‘master’ or ‘ ruler.’ Adonai is pluralized because God is made up of plurality - Father, Son, Holy Spirit. This name, perhaps more than any other we have covered so far, has a deep impact on how we live our lives - because God is Adonai - or ruler - that means we are people who are being ruled. It means we are called, as God’s own creation, to submit to his rule over our lives. This can be a scary thing to think about and it can be a hard thing to let go of the control we have over our own lives, especially when we as humans tend to fall into the trap of thinking that we know best. Helping our children learn from a young age that submitting to God as our ruler isn’t scary at all - but it is actually freeing. READ THIS Psalm 97:5, Psalm 50:10. In this passage, the word Lord is translated into Adonai. The second reading from the Psalms reveals that he is claiming himself as the owner. dive deeper This week we are learning about the name Adonai - there are two important things to note about Adonai. First, it is a name that is plural. The original word is Adon, which means master. Adonai is the plural of the word Adon. It is important to know that this name is plural - because it is speaking about God in three ways - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! This means that God is our ruler, Jesus (son) is our ruler, Holy Spirit is our ruler.

The Role of Hebrew Letters in Making the Divine Visible
"VTSFDIUMJDIFO (SàOEFOTUFIU EJFTF"CCJMEVOH OJDIUJN0QFO "DDFTT[VS 7FSGàHVOH The Role of Hebrew Letters in Making the Divine Visible KATRIN KOGMAN-APPEL hen Jewish figural book art began to develop in central WEurope around the middle of the thirteenth century, the patrons and artists of Hebrew liturgical books easily opened up to the tastes, fashions, and conventions of Latin illu- minated manuscripts and other forms of Christian art. Jewish book designers dealt with the visual culture they encountered in the environment in which they lived with a complex process of transmis- sion, adaptation, and translation. Among the wealth of Christian visual themes, however, there was one that the Jews could not integrate into their religious culture: they were not prepared to create anthropomorphic representations of God. This stand does not imply that Jewish imagery never met the challenge involved in representing the Divine. Among the most lavish medieval Hebrew manu- scripts is a group of prayer books that contain the liturgical hymns that were commonly part of central European prayer rites. Many of these hymns address God by means of lavish golden initial words that refer to the Divine. These initials were integrated into the overall imagery of decorated initial panels, their frames, and entire page layouts in manifold ways to be analyzed in what follows. Jewish artists and patrons developed interesting strategies to cope with the need to avoid anthropomorphism and still to give way to visually powerful manifestations of the divine presence. Among the standard themes in medieval Ashkenazi illuminated Hebrew prayer books (mahzorim)1 we find images of Moses receiving the tablets of the Law on Mount Sinai (Exodus 31:18, 34), commemorated during the holiday of Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks (fig.

Kyrios Christos Wilhelm Bousset the Princeton Theological Review 12:636-645
Kyrios Christos Wilhelm Bousset The Princeton Theological Review 12:636-645. [1914] A treatise on the term kurioj as applied to Jesus would seem to deal with a sufficiently specialized subject. But, as the subtitle of Dr. Bousset’s work informs us, we receive in it no less than a “History of Christological Faith from the Beginnings Down to Irenaeus.” And even this scarcely covers what the book actually offers, for in reality it approaches to being a sketch of the earliest history of Christian belief in general, including some aspects that are not technically Christological, although the author in the Preface disavows this wider purpose on the ground that the time is not ripe as yet for describing the origin of Christianity in the milieu of the Hellenistic-Roman civilization. The value of the book—and it is great, irrespective of one’s agreement or disagreement with its conclusions—is due largely to this breadth of outlook proceeding from a point that by common consent was of central importance and of propelling force in the earliest development of Christianity, the view taken of and the relation sustained toward Christ as Lord. As might be expected, Dr. Bousset writes as a consistent “religionsgeschichtler.” He repudiates the distinction between biblical theology and history of doctrine not merely, but is eager to obliterate the lines of demarcation between the Christian religion and the surrounding spheres of faith and practice in the midst of which it grew up. He further brings to the front more seriously than has been attempted by anybody before, at least in such a comprehensive way, the principle that the forms of religious belief to a large extent took their rise and shape from the cultus, in other words that doctrine grew out of worship, rather than the reverse, as is usually assumed to have been the case.

Adon Olam? Other Than Our Chosen Profession, We Are Both Handsome and Talented, We Both Have Wives and Daughters Are Smarter Than Us and We Are Both Sailors
Fred Basch Architect Every year for the last seven years I have witnessed Manhattan-Henge. Taking pictures of the sun stetting in alignment with the street grid and more recently taking pictures of people taking pictures of the Sun, as the event has grown more popular the crowd watching has taken on a bigger role. Last night tonight and again in July 11 and 12 you can see the co-incidence of alignment. Our street grid is rotated 29 degrees north of true west and as days get longer the sun sets further north until the solstice and then the process starts to reverse. While it’s good to know that there is someplace beyond the edge of the island, it is not always apparent. I am mindful of my place on the Manhattan street grid on a daily basis as I navigate about the city. On Mahnattan-Henge it is very satisfying to have a sense of the connection between the orthogonal, almost arbitrary grid layout and something larger. Living in Manhattan it is easy to lose edges, the horizon and become detached not from your surroundings but the larger frame of reference. I spend a lot of time at the office or at home and I am connected to the grid but not to anything that informs me about the larger perspective of the whole Island, the larger City, the Country or the Earth. Manhattan-Henge if its not too cloudy does provide a connection not only to the edges but also beyond where we can get enough perspective to place ourselves in space and time.

Elohim and Jehovah in Mormonism and the Bible
Elohim and Jehovah in Mormonism and the Bible Boyd Kirkland urrently, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints defines the CGodhead as consisting of three separate and distinct personages or Gods: Elohim, or God the Father; Jehovah, or Jesus Christ, the Son of God both in the spirit and in the flesh; and the Holy Ghost. The Father and the Son have physical, resurrected bodies of flesh and bone, but the Holy Ghost is a spirit personage. Jesus' title of Jehovah reflects his pre-existent role as God of the Old Testament. These definitions took official form in "The Father and the Son: A Doctrinal Exposition by the First Presidency and the Twelve" (1916) as the culmination of five major stages of theological development in Church history (Kirkland 1984): 1. Joseph Smith, Mormonism's founder, originally spoke and wrote about God in terms practically indistinguishable from then-current protestant the- ology. He used the roles, personalities, and titles of the Father and the Son interchangeably in a manner implying that he believed in only one God who manifested himself as three persons. The Book of Mormon, revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants prior to 1835, and Smith's 1832 account of his First Vision all reflect "trinitarian" perceptions. He did not use the title Elohim at all in this early stage and used Jehovah only rarely as the name of the "one" God. 2. The 1835 Lectures on Faith and Smith's official 1838 account of his First Vision both emphasized the complete separateness of the Father and the Son.

KYRIOS in the FOURTH GOSPEL and ITS IMPLICATIONS for AFRICAN/ASIAN ECCLESIOLOGY by Emmanuel Oyemomi, Ph.D Lecturer NBTS Ogbomoso, Nigeria
1 KYRIOS IN THE FOURTH GOSPEL AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR AFRICAN/ASIAN ECCLESIOLOGY By Emmanuel Oyemomi, Ph.D Lecturer NBTS Ogbomoso, Nigeria. Abstract The Christological title kyrios in the Fourth Gospel is analyzed and critiqued in its various inflections and forms like the nominative, genitive, dative, accusative and vocative, so that the overwhelming use of the vocative in the Fourth Gospel is read to be ironic. In effect, it is a confession that shows a depth of commitment, and recognition that Jesus is Lord. The work is divided into five sections namely: basic community belief about the kyrios , kyrios in the Old Testament Quotations, Kyrie with non believers, kyrie /kyrios with believers, and Jesus’ affirmation of Himself as kyrios . The work draws theological implications of kyrios with a focus on the individual member of the community, the Jewish synagogue, the early centuries, and the church today from African/Asian perspectives. The paper concludes with the summary that kyrios in the Johannine Gospel is an effulgent glory of the Hebrew adonai or the tetragrammaton revered name, Yahweh . Hence African/Asian believers should hold the commitment to the Lordship of Christ, no matter the hostility around them in a pluralistic, syncretistic, and proliferation of “lord” among African/Asian communities. INTRODUCTION The Christological title Kyrios has been a confession for which several souls have been martyred in history. Believers suffered worse of persecution in the first 450 years of Christian church, especially during the reign of Emperor Nero (54-68 AD), but the persecution did not succeed in checking the spread of Christianity.

Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D
Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D. Stuhlman BHL, BA, MS LS, MHL In support of the Doctor of Hebrew Literature degree Jewish University of America Skokie, IL 2004 Page 1 Abstract Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs By Daniel D. Stuhlman, BA, BHL, MS LS, MHL Because of the differences in alphabets, entering Hebrew names and words in English works has always been a challenge. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is the source for many names both in American, Jewish and European society. This work examines given names, starting with theophoric names in the Bible, then continues with other names from the Bible and contemporary sources. The list of theophoric names is comprehensive. The other names are chosen from library catalogs and the personal records of the author. Hebrew names present challenges because of the variety of pronunciations. The same name is transliterated differently for a writer in Yiddish and Hebrew, but Yiddish names are not covered in this document. Family names are included only as they relate to the study of given names. One chapter deals with why Jacob and Joseph start with “J.” Transliteration tables from many sources are included for comparison purposes. Because parents may give any name they desire, there can be no absolute rules for using Hebrew names in English (or Latin character) library catalogs. When the cataloger can not find the Latin letter version of a name that the author prefers, the cataloger uses the rules for systematic Romanization. Through the use of rules and the understanding of the history of orthography, a library research can find the materials needed.

Kyrios Christos Introduction–Hurtado
Introduction Wilhelm Bousset’s Kyrios Christos is surely one of the most influential academic books in the history of scholarship on the New Testament and the origins of Christianity.1 As Bousset indicated in his foreword to the first edition, the focus of the book is on the veneration of Jesus in the corporate worship (“cultus”) of early Christian circles, and the key question pursued is how this remarkable phenomenon came about.2 Bousset rightly judged this cultic veneration of Jesus as the most important religious development in early Christianity. The question of how it appeared is all the more important given the ancient Jewish concern to protect the uniqueness of the one God, especially in matters of worship.3 In short, under what circumstances did believers feel so free to add a second, distinguishable figure (Jesus) as corecipient of cultic devotion along with God (“the Father”)? Bousset’s thesis (indeed, the key claim of the volume) was that this cultic veneration of Jesus did not emerge in the earliest circles of Jewish believers, the “Primitive Palestinian 1 The original edition is Wilhelm Bousset, Kyrios Christos: Geschichte des Christusglaubens von den Anfängen des Christentums bis Irenaeus (FRLANT, nf 4; Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1913).
