  • The Restoration of Israel: Ezekiel 36-39 in Early
    The Restoration of Israel: Ezekiel 36-39 in Early Jewish Interpretation: A textual-comparative study of the oldest extant Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. Rev. Ashley Stewart Crane: Bachelor of Theology; Honours. This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University. 2006 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ........................................... Ashley S. Crane Abstract: While many have noted the differences between the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts for Ezekiel, they have done so largely to rediscover an earlier Hebrew text, or to determine which variant preserves the better reading, frequently with the aim of establishing a ‘critical text’ for their commentaries. This often leaves the other variant(s) in a sense ‘incorrect’, often attributed to various forms of scribal error. This thesis adopts a ‘textual-comparative’ methodology that accords each textual witness equal status as an interpretive trajectory, enabling each to be ‘heard’ in its own right. The aim of this thesis is to examine these different witnesses with a view to determine what they might tell us about the way Ezekiel 36-39 was interpreted by each particular community. This entails comparing the oldest extant Hebrew and Greek texts both intra-linguistically and trans-linguistically, noting any variants, and exploring possible interpretive reasons for them. This study finds that the Greek translators were familiar with both languages, and that they often exegetically and interpretively interacted with the text before them. The Greek (LXX) is both translation and interpretation of the Hebrew.

  • Salvation in Continuity: a Reconsideration Of
    SALVATION IN CONTINUITY: A RECONSIDERATION OF MATTHEW’S SOTERIOLOGY by Mothy Varkey BSc (Physics), BD, MTh (New Testament) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2014 ii DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Mothy Varkey iii ABSTRACT This reconsideration of Matthew’s soteriology argues that Matthew understands salvation in continuity. It employs a sequential treatment of the Gospel, which enables it to avoid the danger which characterises many previous studies of limiting the discussion of salvation in Matthew to certain texts, where the theme of salvation is more direct and explicit. To this end, the study is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 discusses the need for a reconsideration of Matthew’s soteriology, and Chapters 2 and 3 furnish, respectively, a brief literature survey and the method of approach. Chapters 4–6 examine Matthew’s depiction of Jesus’ saving roles as teacher and judge, healer and helper, and the significance for Matthew of Jesus’ death and resurrection––especially in Matthew 1–7, 8–25 and 26–28 respectively, but also within the Gospel as a whole. On the basis of the findings from Chapters 4–6, Chapter 7 shows that Matthew understands salvation in continuity. The study argues that Matthew does not understand salvation as something achieved only by Jesus’ death, and nor does he limit salvation to Jesus, because Jesus’ saving does not replace or abrogate the repertoire of salvation in the past such as the Torah and the temple.

There is nothing from outside of people which entering them can defile them; but it is the things coming out from within people which defile people.1 Mark 7:15 The man who denies that impurity from external sources can penetrate into man’s essential being is striking at the presuppositions and the plain verbal sense of the Torah and at the authority of Moses himself. Over and above that, he is striking at the presuppositions of the whole classical conception of cultus with its sacrificial and expiatory system. Ernst Käsemann2 These words from that epoch-making lecture given in 1953 in Jugenheim by the late Professor Dr Ernst Käsemann belong to his tentative reconstruction of what might be said to have been distinctive of the historical Jesus despite the caveats of 1 In this translation I have deliberately replaced singular by plural in order to avoid both the less inclusive “man” and to retain a close correlation between nouns and pronouns in the text, which with a word like, “person” in the singular would have created an awkward sounding text. 2 E.

  • The Historical Jesus Puzzle
    LOADER: HISTORICAL JESUS 131 THE HISTORICAL JESUS PUZZLE William R. G. Loader Revd Dr William Loader is Associate Professor in New Testament at Murdoch University and Lecturer in the Perth Theological Hall of the Uniting Church in Australia In this paper I shall address three main questions: Why ask about the historical Jesus? What new data do we have to warrant more research? and What, if any, findings can we identify in current research?1 1. Why ask about the historical Jesus? The first is a serious question. Why enquire about the historical Jesus? One might counter: Why not? There are many reasons why some would consider the pursuit as only marginally relevant if not useless. From the perspective of Christian faith, is it not a living Jesus who concerns us? Does concern with the historical Jesus not reflect a failure to take resurrection faith seriously? Others might point to the message of Christ’s death for us on the cross and his resurrection as the core of the Christian message. What more can detailed information about Jesus’ life offer 1 There are a number of very useful reviews of current Jesus scholarship. Among the most recent I include the following: M. J. Borg, Jesus in Contemporary Scholarship (Valley Forge, Penn.: Trinity Press International, 1994); J. Carlson, and R. A. Ludwig (eds) Jesus and Faith. A Conversation on the Work of John Dominic Crossan author of The Historical Jesus (Maryknoll: Orbis, 1994); R. Crotty, The Jesus Question. The Historical Search (Blackburn, Vic.: HarperCollinsReligious, 1996); L. T. Johnson, The Real Jesus.
