  • Ireland and the Old Testament Revision
    Ireland and the Old Testament: Transmission, Translation, and Unexpected Influence 1. Introduction A medieval poem, attributed to the eleventh century poet Mael Ísu Ó’Brolcán, begins as follows: How good to hear your voice again Old love, no longer young, but true As when in Ulster I grew up And we were bedmates, I and you When first they put us twain to bed My love who speaks the tongue of heaven I was a boy with no bad thoughts A modest youth, and barely seven.1 1 Frank O’Connor, “A Priest Rediscovers His Psalm-Book,” in Kings, Lords, and Commons (London: Macmillan, 1961): 12. 1 While at first blush this sounds like a romantic ballad, this medieval work is in fact an ode to a long-lost psalm-book rediscovered by a cleric later in life.2 This lost love which “speaks the tongue of heaven” will be to many an unexpected object of affection in this verse; not only is it surprising that the Bible – and the Old Testament in particular – shows up in poetry of this sort, but that it does so in the hands of a medieval Irish priest runs counter to much popular opinion. If at all, contemporary readers might expect the Gospels to appear here, not least because of the influence of medieval works such as the Book of Kells, and their place in the contemporary landscape of Ireland and Irish tourism.3 Nevertheless, this poem highlights Ireland’s long, rich, and varied history of engagement with the Old Testament, a history that sometimes confirms our preconceptions, while at other times surprising us and confounding our expectations, as with our medieval priest and his unexpected object of affection.

  • The Book of Genesis Dating Creation 08/21/2019 Wednesday PM
    The Book of Genesis Dating Creation 08/21/2019 Wednesday PM Introduction • Last week we studied Genesis 1:1-5 where God created “the heavens and the earth” as well as light. • I take a view that the Bible should be read as literally as the context of individual passages allow. • I advocate for a plain reading of Genesis. We must always be careful when we attempt to read outside ideas into the Bible. • There are no gaps that are visible between vv.1-2, and God created using 6 normal-length days. • Tonight, we are going to pause in our study of the verses and look at Dating Creation. • We need to discuss this in detail before we move on, because it addresses “the elephant in the room.” How Long Ago Was the Beginning? • This is the million-dollar question that is debated vigorously within the church. • Illustration: Before we get into the question itself, I want us to look at an illustration. • The photo on the right depicts a faucet dripping water into a measuring glass. The glass is currently sitting at 50ml of water. The photo shows that the water is dripping at 10ml every minute. So the question is, how long did it take for the water to reach 50ml? • The most obvious answer to many people would be that it took 5 minutes to fill the glass with 50ml of water because it would be 10ml x 5min = 50ml. • Why does that answer have to be right though? What if the glass started out with 20ml of water already in it? Then it would have only taken it 3 minutes to reach 50ml.

  • Richard Bauckham, "Approaching the Millennium,"
    RICHARD BAUCKHAM Approaching the Millennium 255 RICHARD BAUCKHAM Approaching the Millennium Richard Bauckham offers a perceptive analysis of the hold which the year 2000 is exercising on our culture. Against this background, he argues for the central importance of a Christian eschatology which takes seriously both the transcendent (God's promised future new creation) and the utopian (inspiration to work for change in the present). My title, of course, is a play on two meanings of 'millennium': the millennium as the year 2000, the beginning of the third millennium of the Christian era, and the millennium as a term in Christian eschatology, the thousand-year reign of Christ on earth. The two meanings come together in the kind of epochal (millenarian) significance with which the approaching turn of the millennia is being viewed by many people, Christians and others. Calendrical Magic and the Millennium Why should anyone think the year 2000 of any significance? At first sight we might think the fascination of this date no more than a trick the calendar plays on us. Much as our microchips threaten technological chaos on the 1st January 2000, because we have negligently programmed them to do so, so the way of reckoning time which we ourselves have devised happens to throws up a mind-boggling date which could easily have been otherwise. Informed people now realize that, on any probable dating of the birth of Christ, we have already passed its two-thousandth anniversary. But in any case, reckoning time in centuries and millennia, self-evident though it seems to us, is little more than an arbitrary convention.
