  • How Might Anglicans Better Interpret What We Read in the Bible?
    Additional material: STUDY GUIDE How might Anglicans better interpret what we read in the Bible? A Study Guide for “What the Anglican Communion has said about the Bible: Themes and Principles emerging from official and semi-official Anglican Communion documents” Introduction to the Study Guide Have you ever wondered “What does the Anglican Communion believe about ...? An easy answer is hard to find! One approach is to trace the thinking of the Anglican Communion over time through its classic theologians and foundation documents. These include historic 16/17th texts, Lambeth Conference resolutions, Reports from Anglican Commissions and our ecumenical conversations (such as ARCIC). So, if you asked ‘what does the Anglican Communion believe about the Bible?’ then “What the Anglican Communion has said about the Bible: Extracts from official and semi-official Anglican Communion documents” outline what has been said officially about such matters. While they are consistent in what has been said over time, they also show developments in Anglican thinking. Certain Themes emerge from these texts which help summarise the position we, as Anglicans, take on this question [these are summarised in Section 3 of this Study Guide]. Other ways of framing the Themes are likely, however, and perhaps some Themes are missing. If your group feels that either of these are the case then we would be delighted to hear from you Let’s start a conversation But this Study Guide wants to go one step further. Are there guidelines that can assist us, as Anglicans, in the way we interpret what we read in Scripture? Those responsible for the Bible in the Life of the Church project 1 discerned Seven Principles which they derived from a number of Anglican sources: the Themes, regional research and contemporary Anglican hermeneutic insights.

  • The Book of Psalms Session 6: Psalm 137 1) Theme: the Sufferings
    The Book of Psalms Session 6: Psalm 137 1) Theme: The sufferings and feelings of people who experienced the conquest and destruction of Jerusalem in 587 BC, who were deported to Babylon in captivity. It gives vent to intense feelings of homesickness, depression, desire for revenge, patriotism, and rage. a) Verse 1: Verb is in the Past Tense i) How far back we don’t know. ii) Could be after the return to Jerusalem. iii) Could be while they were there in Babylon b) His mind goes back to the agonizing hours when they sat sadly from his homeland i) Tearful eyes and homesick hearts ii) They began to sing their songs of lament and play their harps in accompaniment. iii) Not only homesick, but they felt separated from God and the Temple. iv) It is a theological challenge: Can God have any power in a foreign land? (1) Has God rejected us forever?, Do we have access to God?. Are we being punished? 2) Verses 2-3: a) They cannot mourn in private. b) They hang up their harps on willow trees c) They hear their tormentors walking towards them. d) To make the prisoners aware of their power i) They call upon them to sing happy songs, a song of Zion (Psalms 46, 48, 84, 122) to entertain Gentiles! 3) Verse 4 a) They indignantly refuse. i) Would it be an affront to God? ii) Or is it because God can’t hear them so far away? b) What is clear is that not all situations are appropriate for praising God.

  • A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography
    Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music Vol. 4 (1), Section III: Miscellanea, pp. 198–207 ISSN 2342-1258 https://journal.fi/jisocm A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography Elena Kolyada [email protected] The Glossary contains concise entries on most genres of Eastern Orthodox hymnography that are mentioned in the article by E. Kolyada “The Genre System of Early Russian Hymnography: the Main Stages and Principles of Its Formation”.1 On the one hand the Glossary is an integral part of the article, therefore revealing and corroborating its principal conceptual propositions. However, on the other hand it can be used as an independent reference resource for hymnographical terminology, useful for the majority of Orthodox Churches worldwide that follow the Eastern Rite: Byzantine, Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian et al., as well as those Western Orthodox dioceses and parishes, where worship is conducted in English. The Glossary includes the main corpus of chants that represents the five great branches of the genealogical tree of the genre system of early Christian hymnography, together with their many offshoots. These branches are 1) psalms and derivative genres; 2) sticheron-troparion genres; 3) akathistos; 4) canon; 5) prayer genres (see the relevant tables, p. 298-299).2 Each entry includes information about the etymology of the term, a short definition, typological features and a basic statement about the place of a particular chant in the daily and yearly cycles of services in the Byzantine rite.3 All this may help anyone who is involved in the worship or is simply interested in Orthodox liturgiology to understand more fully specific chanting material, as well as the general hymnographic repertoire of each service.

  • The Psalms As Hymns in the Temple of Jerusalem Gary A
    4 The Psalms as Hymns in the Temple of Jerusalem Gary A. Rendsburg From as far back as our sources allow, hymns were part of Near Eastern temple ritual, with their performers an essential component of the temple functionaries. 1 These sources include Sumerian, Akkadian, and Egyptian texts 2 from as early as the third millennium BCE. From the second millennium BCE, we gain further examples of hymns from the Hittite realm, even if most (if not all) of the poems are based on Mesopotamian precursors.3 Ugarit, our main source of information on ancient Canaan, has not yielded songs of this sort in 1. For the performers, see Richard Henshaw, Female and Male: The Cu/tic Personnel: The Bible and Rest ~(the Ancient Near East (Allison Park, PA: Pickwick, 1994) esp. ch. 2, "Singers, Musicians, and Dancers," 84-134. Note, however, that this volume does not treat the Egyptian cultic personnel. 2. As the reader can imagine, the literature is ~xtensive, and hence I offer here but a sampling of bibliographic items. For Sumerian hymns, which include compositions directed both to specific deities and to the temples themselves, see Thorkild Jacobsen, The Harps that Once ... : Sumerian Poetry in Translation (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1987), esp. 99-142, 375--444. Notwithstanding the much larger corpus of Akkadian literarure, hymn~ are less well represented; see the discussion in Alan Lenzi, ed., Reading Akkadian Prayers and Hymns: An Introduction, Ancient Near East Monographs (Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature, 2011), 56-60, with the most important texts included in said volume. For Egyptian hymns, see Jan A%mann, Agyptische Hymnen und Gebete, Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis (Gottingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1999); Andre Barucq and Frarn;:ois Daumas, Hymnes et prieres de /'Egypte ancienne, Litteratures anciennes du Proche-Orient (Paris: Cerf, 1980); and John L.

  • Blessed Are the Children Killers: a Canonical Approach to Psalm 137
    Blessed are the children killers: A canonical approach to Psalm 137 by Ryu Park A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Old Testament Studies at UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA FACULTY OF THEOLOGY AND RELIGION SUPERVISOR: Prof. Dr. Dirk J. Human September 2018 DECLARATION I, Ryu Park, declare that the thesis, “Blessed are the children killers: A canonical approach to Psalm 137”, hereby submitted to the University of Pretoria, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy has not previously been submitted by me for a degree at this or any other university and I declare further that this is my own work in design and execution and that all material contained herein has been duly acknowledged. Full name: Ryu Park Date: 07, January, 2019 Signature: i SUMMARY .are the revengers and the killers of infants” (vv (אשרי) The imprecation of Psalm 137, “blessed (אשרי) does not seem to be in comformity with the broader messages of the Psalter, “Blessed (8-9 are those who delight in YHWH’s law (Ps 1:1-2) and who dwell in your house and ever praise you (Ps 84:5)” and of the Old Testament, “Do not take revenge (Lv 19:18) and love your neighbors and foreigners (Dt 10:19).” In order to solve this unfitting nature of the imprecation in the Old Testament, this research utilises canonical-exegetical-theological-literary method. This thesis undertakes literary-historical study and structural analysis of the Psalm in order to draw out key theological themes and lays the foundation for the canonical reading of the Psalm.

  • Notes on Psalm
    Psalm137_Notes 4/8/20, 2:19 PM Psalm 137 This is a psalm about Jews in the exile, but Aben Ezra and the Septuagint ascribe it to David, who perhaps under a spirit of prophecy foresaw the Babylonian captivity, and what the Jews would suffer in it. It is recited annually on the Fast of Ab, commemorating the destruction of Jerusalem. It is also an "imprecatory psalm" - an outpouring of rage from the heart of those under extreme duress. Psalm 137:1 - "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion." The Tigris and Euphrates represent Babylon, like the Nile serves as an icon for Egypt. "there we sat down" - to sit down was an act of mourning and grief (Job 2:8) and the position of lamentation. "we wept" - in grief but also in repentance for their sins which brought about the catastrophe. Like the prodigal son, who remembered how he had feasted at his father's table, but was now eating pig food (Luke 15:11–32). Psalm 137:2-4 - "We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?" Their captors demanded they sing happy songs - a cruel mockery of their desperate situation. The exiles were not only far from home, they were feeling their spiritual distance from God, which would all combine to bring them to repentance.

  • Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs: the Master Musician’S Melodies
    Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs: The Master Musician’s Melodies Bereans Adult Bible Fellowship Placerita Baptist Church 2009 by William D. Barrick, Th.D. Professor of OT, The Master’s Seminary Psalm 137 — Weeping among the Willows 1.0 Introducing Psalm 137 y Babylon’s destruction, referred to in verse 8, took place in 516 B.C. Therefore, this psalm could be dated after that, if it is a past reference. y “There” (vv. 1 and 3) seems to indicate that the psalmist is no longer in Babylon. y The best time period for this psalm would be sometime after the return to Jerusalem (537/536 B.C.) and the completion of the city walls (445 B.C.). y Only two psalms even mention Babylon: Psalms 87 and 137. Both also mention Zion. Both psalms contain staggering revelation. Psalm 87 shocks the reader by indicating that even those who are Babylonian can truly know God (87:4). Psalm 137 traumatizes the reader by its call for the violent death of Babylonian children. y Previous imprecatory psalms include Psalms 7, 35, 58, 69, 83, and 109. Notes for these psalms are available at www.drbarrick.org/sermons. 2.0 Reading Psalm 137 (NAU) 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down and wept, When we remembered Zion. 137:2 Upon the willows in the midst of it We hung our harps. 137:3 For there our captors demanded of us songs, And our tormentors mirth, saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion.” 137:4 How can we sing the LORD’S song In a foreign land? 137:5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, May my right hand forget her skill.
