So don’t be afraid today, and in the subsequent days, to voice your opinions. I’m aware that you are investing quite a large amount of time in this particular week and I want to help you to get the maximum benefit from it. So I shall be starting off today, but if you find the kind of thing I’m doing not to be too helpful, please say so and we can order the remainder of the course more to fit you. Proposed approach Now I believe you were brought here under somewhat false pretences, with some grandiose title like ‘A survey of the whole of the New Testament plus Apocrypha’, or something. That of course is quite impossible, but that’s the way of advertisers! What I propose to do, if you give me free rein, is to take perhaps one book of the Gospels today and another tomorrow, as representative of the Gospels. Then on the Wednesday and Thursday, to take an epistle on each occasion, as representative of the Epistles, and then perhaps, if we have time, we shall deal with the Revelation. What I will not attempt to do is to give an outline of these books. Outlines are available to us all and you have long since read many and forgotten all about them, I suspect. Outlines can be very superficial things. What I would like to do is to suggest one or two approaches to the Gospels and look at the kind of thing the Gospels themselves are saying. The Gospels are historical books and it is perfectly legitimate for us to take any fact or incident in the Gospels and to make of it what we will, because the Gospels are fact. If you like to take the phrase, for instance, that our Lord said to Peter, ‘Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch’ (Luke 5:4), and you say, ‘Well the Greek for nets is such and such and that corresponds to our dragnets nowadays, and the thing about dragnets is that they should be the right size and not take too small a fish’, and so forth, and make whatever you like of dragnets. Well, that’s perfectly true: some of them were dragnets and some weren’t. But what I shall be attempting to show is that the Gospel writers themselves are interested in certain themes. If we can determine what those themes are, then those themes will come to us with all the greater authority. It is not a question of our taking a passage and making something out of it as we see fit; it is rather determining what the original Gospel Key New Testament Themes Page | 4 writers intended to convey, what they are discussing. Of course, one man’s perception of these things will differ from another’s and you may see some other things. That’s perfectly true, and in that spirit I go about my comments this morning, putting into the pool of your thinking—along with all the other host of things that you have thought and will think, and the way that you come at Scripture—a contribution of mine to see whether it is helpful or not. Basic structure So on that basis we proceed, and I thought this morning to start at the beginning and look at the Gospel by Matthew. We’ll spend just a few moments talking about the way Matthew has organized his material. As you know, before he gave up his profession for full-time work for the Lord, he was an income tax collector and presumably used to keeping records—if not doctoring them! He shows his characteristic style in the way he has organized his material in his Gospel. He doesn’t necessarily follow chronological order, but has large groupings of material in his book. Let’s look how that happens. Narrative section If we can take our Bibles in hand and look at Matthew, and turn the pages quickly, there’s the story of our Lord’s birth in chapter 1, and Herod’s reaction and so forth in chapter 2. Then there is the story of John the Baptist at the beginning and the baptism of our Lord at the end of chapter 3; an account of the temptation in chapter 4 and, following that, the beginning of our Lord’s ministry. ‘From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand”’ (4:17); and he’s calling his disciples to follow him and join in the work. So four chapters therefore of virtually nothing other than narrative. There is a little preaching from John the Baptist and so on, but it’s largely narrative concerned with the birth of our Lord and then the beginnings of his ministry. We come to 4:23, and we notice, not a particular incident, but a very general statement summing up our Lord’s ministry. And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. So his fame spread throughout all Syria: and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them. And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan. (4:23–25) Teaching section Now in chapters 5–7, you’ll notice at once the change in the character of the contents. Here it is not a narrative of individual incidents, but a tremendous block of teaching—commonly referred to as the Sermon on the Mount—moral and spiritual teaching. At the end of chapter 7 we see a typically Matthew thing—you’ve probably noticed it in your own readings—‘And Key New Testament Themes Page | 5 when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes’ (7:28). Section markers Now notice that phrase, ‘when Jesus finished these sayings’, because it’s a phrase Matthew will use as a method of organizing and grouping his material. We shall come across it several times later on. We shall find that it brings to an end a section of his book. As you notice now in chapter 8, we go back to narrative incidents—the leper, then a man with a paralysis, and then a woman with a fever and so forth. Some teaching is involved, but it is very much interspersed with narrative incidents; and that goes through until the end of chapter 9. Then follows chapter 10, which is altogether given up to teaching, not incidents, including the commissioning and briefing that the Lord Jesus gave to his apostles before he sent them out on their missionary journeys. At the end of that passage of teaching, you come to 11:1, which says, ‘When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.’ So here is this phrase again, ‘when Jesus had finished’ something or other. Let’s flick the pages now and notice how that reoccurs. Chapter 13, verse 53: ‘And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there’. Once more, if we just look back to chapter 11, there are incidents and some teaching intermingled. Likewise in chapter 12 there is some preaching and teaching intermingled with incidents.

  • By David Rothfuss Fireworks and Sex! Is a New
    ABSTRACT FIREWORKS AND SEX! by David Rothfuss Fireworks and Sex! is a new religion I’m launching so I can get rich without paying taxes. The religious document that follows, which you’re probably not even allowed to read on account of copyright restrictions, is pretty standard as religious documents go, providing you, the religious consumer, with 205 pages of morally ambiguous poems, fables and doodles to base your life upon. It is by far the most American religion out there, and a sure-fire path to a shinier existence, with the average follower experiencing 74% more happiness, 93% more freedom, and 87% more American Dream than those in other religions. If you were allowed to read it, which you’re not, it would provide you with an inside track to God and eternal salvation.

  • The Time Traveler's Wife
    When Henry meets Clare, he is twenty-eight and she is twenty. He is a hip librarian; she is a beautiful art student. Henry has never met Clare before; Clare has known Henry since she was six... “A powerfully original love story. BOTTOM LINE: Amazing trip.” —PEOPLE “To those who say there are no new love stories, I heartily recommend The Time Traveler’s Wife, an enchanting novel, which is beautifully crafted and as dazzlingly imaginative as it is dizzyingly romantic.” —SCOTT TUROW AUDREY NIFFENEGGER’S innovative debut, The Time Traveler’s Wife, is the story, of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing. The Time Traveler’s Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare’s marriage and their passionate love for each other, as the story unfolds from both points of view. Clare and Henry attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals— steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

  • Suzan Cooke Interview
    GLBT Historical Society http://www.glbthistory.org Suzan Cooke Interview by Susan Stryker in association with the Gay and Lesbian Historical Society of Northern California and Joanne Meyerowitz, University of Cincinnati January 10,1998 Hollywood, California Introduction Suzy Cooke was born in upstate New York in 1947. She had been discovered cross- dressing by her parents during early adolescence and felt that the abuse they heaped on her until she left home deeply affected her self-image and her subsequent life path. She was active in the anti-war and student movements by 1967, and had spent some time in New York City's gay street scene, on the fringes of Andy Warhol's crowd. About this same time she had begun trying to contact Dr. Harry Benjamin, after reading his book, The Transsexual Phenomenon, and learning that sex-reassignment had become available in the United States. She moved to the San Francisco Bay Area later in 1967­ first to the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood and then to Berkeley-where she participated in the youth counterculture, radical politics, early gay liberation, and feminism. She began transitioning male-to-female in January, 1969. Cooke became one of the staff members of the transsexual center in the Tenderloin in 1971. She wrote a successful grant application to the Erickson Educational Foundation for the center's operational expenses after federal "war on poverty" money dried up during the Nixon administration. Cooke had genital surgery with Dr. Donald Laub at Stanford in 1972. In 1973, Cooke was a principal figure in the drug sting thatSFPD orchestrated to shut down the transsexual center and scuttle director Elliot Blackstone's career with the police department.

If you grew up in the NJ suburbs during the 80's like Popper did, then you get a bonus because you will easily identify with his own experience going through high school and living just outside of NYC.
