ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews Univerisity Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Name of researcher: Chun Sik Park Name and degree of faculty adviser: Richard M. Davidson, Ph.D. Date completed: July 2005 The present dissertation seeks to develop a theology of judgment in Gen 6-9. Following an introductory chapter, the second chapter is devoted to analyzing the three main extrabiblical ANE flood stories (the Eridu Genesis, the Atra-Hasis Epic, and the Gilgamesh Epic) from the four aspects of judgment: date, cause and purpose, extent, and procedure. The analysis of those stories reveals that the ANE flood was a historical and local (global dimension is implied) event without moral cause, and that the judgment of the deities had a procedure of investigation, sentence, execution, and mitigation. The third chapter treats the theology of judgment on the basis of textual evidence in Gen 6-9 focusing on the date, cause and purpose, extent, and procedure. The text reveals that the Genesis flood was a historical and global event caused by the broken relationship between God and humankind. God’s judgment was processed by the steps of probation, Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. investigation, sentence, execution, and mitigation. The fourth chapter is devoted to investigating the various theological motifs that have close relationship with the judgment theme in Gen 6-9: theodicy, human moral responsibility, creation, revelation, and eschatology. The Genesis flood judgment demonstrates God’s love and justice toward His creation. Humankind, being the image of God, is responsible for one’s multiple relationships including God, humankind, subhumankind, and the environment. The creation theme underlies in a pattern of creation—uncreation—re-creation in God’s judgment, and is closely linked with the theme of eschatology. God’s revelation creates a remnant that survives God’s judgment. Close relationship is found between protology and eschatology. The relationship is illustrated by comparison between Gen 6-9 and Rev 12-22 from the aspects of three phases of eschatological time (prejudgment time—judgment time—postjudgment time). The fifth chapter is devoted to investigating the intertextuality of some biblical passages that have a textual and/or thematic relationship with the Genesis flood narrative; the passages include Ps 29:10; Isa 54:9-10; Ezek 14:12-20; Matt 24:36-39 (cf. Luke 17:26- 30); Heb 11:7; 1 Pet 3:19-21; 2 Pet 2:5; 3:6-7 and Rev 14:7. The above texts were analyzed in their own literary context from the aspects of cause and purpose, extent, procedure, divine salvific activities, and human moral responsibility. The analysis reveals that these texts take the Genesis flood narrative as a historical and global event and utilize the flood as their type for God’s judgment from the aspect of salvation and punishment, and that these biblical texts describe God, who is willing to save but is reluctant to punish humankind, as offering the way of salvation to humankind. The sixth chapter contains a summary and conclusions. The Genesis flood narrative Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

    Geography within a Historical Myth – Truth behind Noah’s Deluge Dr. Saswati Roy Assistant Professor, Sarsuna College, Calcutta University Prof. Malay Mukhopadhyay Former Head of the Geography Department Visva Bharati, Santiniketan Myths about great floods Mexico • There are a large number of Mesoamerican flood myths like the Nahua (central Mexico), Tarahumara (Northern Mexico), Michoacan (Mexico), Cora (east of the Huichols), Totonac (east of Mexico), Aztec Flood Myth and others. The great Maya civilization also have documentation of such a mythical flood. India • Satyavrata, the 7th Manu considered the first king to rule this earth, who saved mankind from the great flood — after being warned of it by the Matsya avatar of Vishnu, who had also advised him to build a giant boat. China • We can see those elements in the Chinese myth where Gong Gong, so ordered by the head of the gods, created a flood as a punishment for human misbehavior. It lasted 22 years, until the hero started to dam the waters. The hero was killed for this act, but from his corpse sprang a son who finished his father's project. Rome • The Greco-Roman story, recounted by Ovid, is another tale of collusion among the gods to punish evil humanity. Jupiter persuaded Neptune to flood all the earth except for the summit of Mt. Parnassus. THE MYTHICAL NOAH’S FLOOD The story most familiar to many people is the biblical account of Noah and his ark. Genesis (A chapter in Old Testament) tells how “God saw that the wickedness of man was great” and decided to destroy all of creation.

  • Reflections on a Young Earth Creationist' Approach to Scientific
    Reflections on a Young Earth Creationist’ Approach to Scientific Apologetics JUNE 15, 2015 BY JOEL DUFF A few weeks ago I was a scheduled to present several lectures as part of a course offered by Veritas Theological Seminary in Santa Ana, California. The course title was Scientific Apologetics: The Age of the Earth. The course was split 50/50 between speakers from Solid Rock Lectures including myself, and two prominent employees of Answers in Genesis. However, just hours before I was to present I was informed by the seminary president that I would not be allowed to speak. I had spent the previous two evenings listening to 11 hours of presentations by the AiG speakers and was prepared to respond to that material in addition to pulling together the strands of thought begun by my colleagues earlier in the week. Though I was thwarted from speaking – why this happened is a topic to explore in a future post – I spent time writing down some reflections on the course material presented by the Answers in Genesis speakers. I was able to have these reflections given to the students in addition to some of the other reading materials that I had already prepared. I have returned to my reflections originally written hastily in the very early hours of the morning. I have edited them for clarity and provided a few more examples. I am providing that edited version below as a small – 3000 word – glimpse into the world of creation apologetics. Does the evidence point to a young earth? A few observations.

    Go Noah Go! Education Pack littleangeltheatre.com | 020 7226 1787 John Wright, the founder of Little Angel Theatre, was born in South Africa in 1906. He travelled to England in 1935 and worked as an assistant stage manager for the Ballet Rambert while studying at the Central School of Art and Design. During this time he saw a puppet performance by Podrecca’s Piccoli and became hooked. John made his very first puppet in 1938. In 1961 John and his troupe found a derelict temperance hall in Islington and transformed it into a theatre, designed for the presentation of marionette shows. It opened on Saturday 24th November 1961. This was to be the first purpose built puppet theatre the country had seen for many years and the only one with a permanent long string marionette bridge constructed backstage. The bridge was designed for puppeteers to stand on while they manipulate long stringed puppets who perform on the stage below leaving the audience unable to see the puppeteers. The original bridge is used to this day. The theatre has a traditional ‘proscenium arch’ and seats 100 audience members. John Wright died in 1991 but the work of the theatre continued apace with family, friends and supporters working tirelessly to continue in his footsteps to make sure John’s legacy would delight generations to come. How did Little Angel Theatre start? Angel Theatre start? How did Little “Over the next 30 years, the Little Angel team created and performed over 30 full-scale shows” A Great Flood is coming and Mr and Mrs Noah have been set the most impossible task: to take two of each animal and build them a home! A magical ark that is built on stage, over 50 carved animals and a host of songs to sing along with make this production one of Little Angel Theatre’s most successful and impressive shows.

  • Apologetic Resources
    APOLOGETIC RESOURCES A Young Earth ministry perspective, namely contrasting Scripture to true science now and during the ages. By Dr. Jim Pagels [email protected] 9/2016 Editor Dr. John Fricke, Emeritus Professor of Biology, Concordia University, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Copyright This book is offered as an educational resource on a no cost basis. Contents are not to be reproduced for the purpose of sale. Note that all Scriptural passages are taken from the English Standard Version. 1 I HAVE NO GREATER JOY THAN TO HEAR THAT MY CHILDREN WALK IN THE TRUTH III JOHN 1:4 Forward - Although there is much young Earth information available from commercial sources and on the internet, it was the impression of this writer that no resource that deals with basic topical issues correlating the young Earth philosophy and science exists for professional church workers. To this end, Apologetic Resources is being offered. Intended Audience – The intended audience of this reference material is primarily use by professional church workers, i.e., teachers, pastors, youth workers, etc., namely those who choose to uphold the literal interpretation of Genesis and the inerrancy of Holy Scripture. The focus in this regard is Young Earth Creationism and the catastrophic nature of the global Genesis Flood keeping in mind that Genesis 1-11 is foundational to most of the significant doctrines of Holy Scripture. Of course, laymen may well also find this reference a valuable resource. There is obviously a realistic interplay between Scripture, apologetics and true science. The goal of this document is to provide clarity to this interaction.

As he mulls over ideas for the campaign, he also recalls painful moments from his past, mostly involving his divorce due to his own infidelity, and the eventual breakup with his mistress. Feb 20, Janet Jay rated it it was ok Shelves: fiction , graphic , , first-time-read. The trace assassinations of tiny things. Alan weaves a story of unsolved murders and unforgiven betrayals into a tense and deeply subtle and ironic masterpiece. I can understand why. As Timothy tells us, he has them all in a particular order, and he can remember every excruciating detail about each egg. Trivia About A Small Killing. As a result, the tightly-focused, single publication format of the graphic novel has never been his signature form. But as with his far better-known superhero stories, his overall construction of stories is outstanding, and he plays with nonlinear narratives as well as anyone ever has. I'm pretty sure this book was just an excuse for Moore to write crowd panels with snippets of overheard conversation. I followed that up with a couple of other posts about topics from that Weekly Reading or whatever else I came up with to talk about.

  • Sintflut Textübersicht
    Die Sintfluterzählung (Gen 6,5-9,17) – Eine Komposition aus zwei unterschiedlichen Erzählsträngen (Quellen?) Die Sintfluterzählung ist ein Lehrbeispiel dafür, dass die Unterscheidung in unterschiedliche Erzählstränge (Quellen) eine sinnvolle Hypothese zum Verständnis biblischer Texte ist. Auch im Text der Lutherbibel lässt sich mühelos erkennen, dass dem jetzigen Text der Sintfluterzählung zwei unterschiedliche Variationen desselben Erzählstoffes zugrunde liegen. Erkennbar sind sie sowohl an Widersprüchen im Erzählablauf als auch in Doppelungen einzelner Züge der Erzählung. (Vgl. Skript: Grundkurs AT, Kap. 5). 1. Ursache der Flut 6,5: Bosheit aller Menschen 6,11f. Verderbnis der Erde und allen Fleisches 2. Tiere in der Arche 7,2: Sieben reine und zwei unreine 6,19f: je zwei von allem Tiere bzw. Tierpaare Lebendigen 3. Dauer der Flut 7,4.12: vierzig Tage und vierzig 7,6; 8,13 = 7,11; 8,14: genau ein Nächte Jahr 4. Art der Flut 7,6; 8,2f.
