Let us never fear faithfulness to God's Word. Today the clarity of God's Word must be proclaimed without wavering, lest we fail in the Great Commission given us by our Lord.

Because of my previous study on sexual purity before marriage and the exegetical work done on key biblical passages for that study, I thought I understood where the real issues lay regarding the subject of homosexuality. This study is an attempt to contribute to the current discussion in the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa on the topic of homosexuality. In bringing this study to its final format I have received the indispensable help of others. First and foremost I wish to express my gratitude to my promoter, Professor Fika J van Rensburg. I am indebted to him beyond what mere words could convey in terms of gratitude. Our academic relationship spans five years and has developed into a warm friendship. It has been to my matchless benefit to be associated with him. I have profited much from his biblical knowledge, scholarly experience and overall passion and love for the Lord Jesus Christ. I also want to thank Reverend Erlo Stegen of Mission Kwasizabantu for his support and spiritual guidance. It is very special to be associated with a person who preaches the Word of God unambiguously and who has given and dedicated his life to Christ and Christ alone. Through his dedication Mission Kwasizabantu had become a home to the spiritual homeless and a refuge for the spiritual weary. The Mission has also been my home since 1994. I would like to express appreciation to Dr Andre van Niekerk and the North-West University for the financial support to complete this study. It is my prayer that the critical reader of this thesis will acknowledge that the money was well invested. I also wish to express my sincere gratitude to my friend, Reverend Frits van der Menve, for proofreading the manuscript. A special word of thanks to the personnel of the Ferdinand Postma and Jan Lion Cachet Libraries for their help and assistance. All my requests were always met with a smile and helpful attitude. All work done for me was executed in a spirit of kindness and benevolence. Lastly, I would like to thank my wife Andra and my son Chris, whose lives are inextricably bound with my own and who shared in the sacrifices associated with this study. Andra typed the original manuscript, sometimes under much pressure time-wise and then again difficult circumstances at other times. Her perseverance, criticism, comments and editorial and stylistic advice meant much for the general improvement of the final product. To Chris a special word of thanks for understanding when there was little time for anything else but this thesis. His support and help with the laptop computer was vital to finish the work. To God and the Lord Jesus Christ be all the glory ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PREFACE CONDENSED INDEX INDEX CHAPTER 1: Introduction 1 CHAPTER 2: The state of research on homosexuality in theological hermeneutics 11 CHAPTER 3: A socio-historical perspective of homosexuality in the first century AD 28 CHAPTER 4: Sexual immorality defined 39 CHAPTER 5: A focused exegesis of Romans 1 :24-27 48 CHAPTER 6: A focused exegesis of ICorinthians 6:9-10 70 CHAPTER 7: A focused exegesis of 1Timothy 1:9-10 82 CHAPTER 8: Conclusion: Towards a Biblical Theology of homosexuality 89 ABSTRACT KEY PHRASES BBLlOGf?APHY 98 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PREFACE CONDENSED INDEX CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1.1 BACKGROUND 1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT 1.3 AIM AND OUTCOMES 1.4 CENTRAL THEORETICAL ARGUMENT 1.5 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 1.6 SCHEMATIC SUMMARY 1.7 CHAPTER BREAKDOWN CHAPTER 2 The state of research on homosexuality in theological hermeneutics INTRODUCTION METHODOLOGY CONSTRUCTION OF THE GENERAL CONTEXT FOR HOMOSEXUALITY OLD TESTAMENT SEXUAL MORALITY GRAECO-ROMAN SEXUAL MORALITY JUDAlSTlC SEXUAL MORALITY NEW TESTAMENT SEXUAL MORALITY CONTEMPORARY SEXUAL MORALITY SUMMARY Index CHAPTER 3 28 A socio-historical perspective of homosexuality in the first century AD 3.1 INTRODUCTION 3.2 GRAECO-ROMAN CULTURE 3.3 JUDAlSTlC CULTURE 3.4 THE EARLY CHRISTIAN CULTURE 3.5 SUMMARY CHAPTER 4 Sexual immorality defined 4.1 INTRODUCTION 4.2 THE CONCEPT aopvda 4.3 STATE OF RESEARCH 4.4 COMPONENTIAL ANALYSIS OF sropv~ia 4.5 SUMMARY CHAPTER 5 Exegesis of Romans 1 :18-32 5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.2 GENERAL BACKGROUND 5.3 TENTATIVE INTERPRETATION OF THE RELEVANT GREEK PHRASES 5.3.1 M~riXXaEavrjv c$vor~jv~pijorv ELS T~Vrapd c$ljorv 5.3.1.1 Introduction 5.3.1.2 Exegesis 5.3.1.3 Summary 5.3.2 'E&~~aljequaviv rj 6pit;~rafiriiv EIS d&jkovs 5.3.2.1 Introduction 5.3.2.2 Exegesis 5.3.2.3 Summary Index 5.3.3 "Apueves &V (ipU€UlV T~Vd~~llpo~hvqv K~T€~~~C~~EVOL 5.3.3.1 Introduction 5.3.3.2 Exegesis 5.3.3.3 Summary 5.4 CONCLUSION: ROMANS 1:26-27 AND BIBLICAL SEXUALIN CHAPTER 6 Exegesis of 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 6.1 INTRODUCTION 6.2 GENERAL BACKGROUND 6.3 TENTATIVE DEFINITION OF MEANING OF apuevo~oi~qsand paka~bs 6.3.1 Introduction 6.3.2 Componential analysis of apa€vouoi~q~~and~~a~a~6s 6.3.3 Exegesis 6.3.4 Summary 6.4 CONCLUSION: 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-10 AND BIBLICAL SEXUALITY CHAPTER 7 Exegesis of 1 Timothy 1:9-10 INTRODUCTION GENERAL BACKGROUND THE TENTATIVE DEFINITION OF MEANING OF &~OEVOKO~T~S Introduction Componential analysis of apuwo~oirqs Exegesis Summary CONCLUSION: 1 TIMOTHY 1:9-10 AND BIBLICAL SEXUALIN CHAPTER 8 Conclusion: Towards a Biblical Theology of Homosexuality ABSTRACT KEY PHRASES BIBLIOGRAPHY Chapter 1 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Overview: Background Problem statement Aim and outcomes Central theoretical argument Research methodology Schematic summary Chapter Breakdown BACKGROUND According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, homosexuality refers to the attraction of a person to another person of the same gender. Homosexuality is derived from 6p0 (Greek: the same) and not from homo (Latin: man). All the references to homosexuality in the New Testament are in the ~auline'corpus. These references, with one possible exception, refer to male homosexuality (1 Cor 6:9-10; 1 Tim 1:10, Rom 1:26-27). The one possible exception is Romans 1:26, which may refer to female homosexuality (lesbianism). It should be noted that there is no consensus among scholars in understanding and interpreting these passages of Scripture. ' I accept the Pauline authorship of the Pastorals. Modem higher critical scholarship casts more doubts on the authenticity of these epistles than on any of the others claiming authorship by Paul. According to the view that denies his authorship of the PasIorals, a pseudonymous writer uses the authority of Paul's name to combat rising Gnosticism in the 2d cennuy. Doubt about Paul's authorship also stems ~rimarilyfrom differences in vocabulary and grammatical style that appear when the Pastorals are c&npared with other Pauline Epistles. However, man; well-known biblical scholars reeard Paul to be the author of the Pastorals and reeard the above-mentioned reasons not a. suffment to douht ~au1ln.eauthorship (Gundr).. 19x1: Lalcgm, 1990; ~ol~fX1988; K~mmrl.1984: (mthnc. 19741 lhc earl\. church farhrr Clement of Komt wrole tnat Paul rrochrJdu, bmrrs 01 !he ups! I I Clcrn~.nt5:71 and called upon ~fmoth~to join him there. This suggests an early acceptance of P&I as authbr of the lettek to Timothy. I, therefore, accept in the light of the above the Pauline authorship ofthe Pastorals.

I further agree that permission for ex• tensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for finan• cial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date ii ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is, by means of a close exa• mination of the evidence presented by the texts, to analyse the ways in which Tibullus, Propertius and Ovid treat the god Bacchus and,by so doing, to discover why Bacchus be• comes for them a patron of poetry. Chapter I, the introduction,, deals briefly with the literary background and sets the limits of the study. Chapters II, III and IV analyse the appearances of the god in the poetry of Tibullus, Propertius and Ovid respec• tively: the Tibullan Bacchus is primarily a patron of viti• culture and is associated with poetry and Amor because of this basic role; Propertius is more concerned with the god's relationship with Ariadne and the Maenads and develops a complex exemplum for his affair with Cynthia using these as major characters; Ovid makes frequent use of ideas concerning Bacchus developed by the other two poets but adds nothing really new to the concept of the god as patron of poetry.

  • Set-Theoretic Methods for the Social Sciences
    Set-Theoretic Methods for the Social Sciences A Guide to Qualitative Comparative Analysis Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and other set-theoretic methods distinguish themselves from other approaches to the study of social phenomena by using sets and the search for set relations. In virtually all social science !elds, statements about social phenomena can be framed in terms of set relations, and using set- theoretic methods to investigate these statements is therefore highly valuable. "is book guides readers through the basic principles of set-theory and then on to the applied practices of QCA. It provides a thorough understanding of basic and advanced issues in set-theoretic methods together with tricks of the trade, so#ware handling, and exercises. Most arguments are introduced using examples from existing research. "e use of QCA is increasing rapidly and the application of set theory is both fruitful and still widely mis- understood in current empirical comparative social research. "is book provides the comprehensive guide to these methods for researchers across the social sciences. Carsten Q.

Spallek With the advent of any new body of knowledge a correspondingly new vocabulary must be devised to convey that knowledge precisely and concisely. The advent of Christianity was no exception. As the young Christian church came of age in the Mediterranean world, terminology had to be developed in order to communicate its precious message to outsiders. Technical terms began to emerge in apostolic preaching. One of the most basic of such terms is the name given to the message of salvation through Jesus Christ, map€X~ov. Part One of this study will examine the origin and usage of dap€Xtov in the Greek world and in Judaica, including the gospels and Acts. Part Two is an overview of the way in which Paul uses the term. Finally, Part Three will attempt to address the questions as to the content and origin of the messages to which Paul refers as &Oay$hov. I. The Origin and Meaning of EQap€X~ov A. The Usage in Non-Biblical Greek The basic meaning of the term &ay$h~ov is "that which is proper to an ~O&y@o~."l An ~txkyy~ho~,or ~OayyCht- 0s.

CURTIUS RUFUS HISTORIA.E ALEXA.NDRI BOOK X By W.A.R. Dempsie A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of St. Andrews October 1991 Abstract This thesis consists of a text and commentary on Book Ten of Quintus Curtius Rufus' His toriae Alexandri Magni Macedonis; the work was probably written in the middle of the first century A.D. The main body of the commentary deals with linguistic, stylistic and historical matters; each episode is preceded by a more general introduction to the issues involved. In addition, there is an introduction, dealing with the manuscript tradition, the date of composition, the identity of the writer, the popularity of Alexander as an exemplum in Rome and contemporary historical and biographical practices. There are three appendices: the first deals with Curtius' sources and includes detailed tables in which the five main Alexander sources are compared throughout Book Ten; the second brings together elements of contemporary political allusion in Book Ten and attempts to draw a conclusion concerning the undoubted similarities between the accessions of Arrhidaeus, Alexander's brother, and the emperor Claudius; the third compares Curtius' preferences for certain clausulae with that of other writers.

  • Athenian Imperial Coinage
    ATHENIAN IMPERIAL COINAGE PLATES II-IX A study of the coins found in the excavations of the Athenian Agora has led rue to a reconsideration of the dating of the Imperial Athenian issues. Previously these coins have been dated from the reign of ladrian (117-138 A.D.) to that of Gordianus III (238- 244 A.D.), but it did not take long to realize that this datingf was erroneous.' How is it possible for a great city the size of Athens, the most important city in the Greek provinice, to have existed without issuing coins for a period of about 150 years from the cessation of the New Style coinage around 30 B.C. to the reign of Hadrian in 117 A.D.? On the face of it, it seems unbelievable that such a metropolis as Athens could have been denied one of the privileges of a free city, that of striking money, over such an extended period of time. It would soon have died a natural death and reverted to the status of a petty villace. If the Agora excavations did not prove otherwise, one might say that the Atlhenians used Roman Imperial currency, or that of some other city that was allowed to coin money at this time, either in Greece or the East. From a total of 41,290 coins fromn the Agora excavations, 10,479 have been studied anid catalotued, numbers which are indeed large enough to allow us to draw satisfactory conclusions. From a total of 2580 Athenian coins, 902 were of the period of the New Style, while 814 were Athenian Imiperial.
