We use the word good in many ways. Good can be thought of as being valuable, excellent, beneficent, generous and helpful. Common experiences of life such as good food, good company, good mu- sic, good art, good weather, good fa- ther and anything else which we call good produce positive feelings of well- being, peace, satisfaction and more that make life rewarding. What, then, is goodness? To define it, let us go to the beginning of the Bible where the word “good” appears for the first time. Genesis 1 narrates the differ- ent phases of creation: light to sepa- rate from darkness, sky and earth, wa- ter and land, vegetation and fruit and finally the sun, moon and stars. And after every phase, God calls His crea- tion “good.” This first use of “good” in Sacred Scripture predicates God’s en- tire creation. Everything which is good has as its root God’s creative power: “For everything created by God is good” (1 Tim 4:4). According to St. Thomas Aquinas, goodness coincides with being; insofar as a thing fulfills its existence, it is good. However, the goodness of creation is a relative goodness that is nothing in compari- The Power of a Good Heart Turned son to the absolute Goodness that is God.

  • Current Theology Literature of Christian Antiquity: 1979-1983 Walter J
    Theological Studies 45 (1984) CURRENT THEOLOGY LITERATURE OF CHRISTIAN ANTIQUITY: 1979-1983 WALTER J. BURGHARDT, S.J. Georgetown University At the Ninth International Conference on Patristic Studies (Oxford, Sept. 5-10,1983), some 40 reports were scheduled for presentation under the rubric Instrumenta studiorum, i.e., institutions, series of publications, and projects which are of interest to patristic scholars and, more gener­ ally, students of early Christianity. As on previous occasions, so now, through the graciousness of the Conference's principal organizer, Eliza­ beth A. Livingstone, and with the co-operation of the scholars who prepared the presentations, it has become possible for me to offer reports on 32 of the instrumenta to a still wider public in these pages. My bulletin is an adaptation, primarily in style, on occasion in content (e.g., fresh information since the Conference); here and there space has exacted a digest. If, therefore, errors have crept in, they must surely be laid to my account (e.g., failure to grasp the exact sense of the original report, especially when composed in a language not native to me). It should be noted that a fair amount of information on the background, purpose, and program of some of the instrumenta is to be found in previous bulletins (cf. TS 17 [1956] 67-92; 21 [1960] 62-91; 33 [1972] 253-84; 37 [1976] 424-55; 41 [1980] 151-80; see also 24 [1963] 437-63).

  • Factor Analysis: a New Method for Classifying New Testament Greek Manuscripts
    Andrews University Seminary Studies, Vol. 48, No. 1, 29-53. Copyright © 2010 Andrews University Press. FACTOR ANALYSIS: A NEW METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING NEW TESTAMENT GREEK MANUSCRIPTS CLINTON BALDWIN Northern Caribbean University Mandeville, Jamaica W.I. The task of classifying NT Greek manuscripts is an important function in the practice of NT textual criticism because none of the approximately 5,7461 manuscripts of the Greek NT is an autograph. Collectively, these manuscripts contain approximately 300,0002 variant readings, amounting to more variants than there are words in the NT. Although most of these are insignificant, the percentage that are significant pose a challenge to textual critics in determining the earliest form of the text.3 In an effort to deal with this problem, textual critics since the eighteenth century4 have classified manuscripts into groups 1According to the official register kept by the Institut für neutestamentliche Textforschung in Münster, Germany, as of May 2006, there are 118 Papyri, 318 Uncials, 2,877 Minuscules, and 2,433 Lectionary manuscripts (Kurt Aland, Kurzgefasste Liste der Griechischen Handschriften des Neuen Testaments [New York: Walter De Gruyter, 1994], 7:16, 44, 370). For updates, see <http://www.unimuenster.de/ NTTextforschung/ KgLSGII06_03>. 2Eldon Epp, “The Multivalence of the Term ‘Original Text’ in New Testament Textual Criticism,” HTR 92 (1999): 277. 3Most textual scholars no longer speak of finding “the definitive original text” of the NT, but of uncovering the earliest form(s) of the text. For substantial discussions on this extensive issue, see Epp, 245-281; Bart D. Ehrman, The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture: The Effects of Early Christological Controversies on the Text of the New Testament (New York: Oxford University Press, 1993), xii, 188-194, 275, 280; idem, “The Text as a Window: New Testament Manuscripts and Social History of Early Christianity,” in The Text of the New Testament in Contemporary Research: Essays on the Status Quaestionis, ed.

  • Rethinking the Western Non-Interpolations: a Case for Luke Re-Editing His Gospel
    Rethinking the Western Non-interpolations: A Case For Luke Re-editing His Gospel by Giuseppe Capuana BA (Mus), GradDipEd, BTheol (Hons) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy University of Divinity 2018 Abstract This thesis presents a new paradigm for understanding the Western non-interpolations. It argues that when Luke originally wrote his Gospel it did not contain 22:19b–20; 24:3b, 6a, 12, 36b, 40, 51b and 52a. However, at a later time, around the time Luke wrote Acts, he returned to his Gospel creating a second edition which contained these readings. My thesis makes the case that the paradigm of scribal interpolation is problematic. Working under this paradigm the results of external and internal evidence appear conflicting and scholars are generally forced to give greater preference to one set of evidence over the other. However, a balanced weighting of the external and internal evidence points us towards the notion that Luke was responsible for both the absence and the inclusion of 22:19b–20; 24:3b, 6a, 12, 36b, 40, 51b and 52a. Chapter one introduces the Western non-interpolations. It also makes the case that the quest for the original text of Luke’s Gospel should not be abandoned. Chapter two is on the history, theory and methodology of the Western non-interpolations. It begins with an overview of the text-critical scholarship emerging during the nineteenth century, particularly the influence of Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort. It also covers the period after Westcott and Hort to the present.

  • Re)Writing History in Byzantium
    (Re)writing History in Byzantium Scholars have recently begun to study collections of Byzantine historical excerpts as autonomous pieces of literature. This book focuses on a series of minor collec- tions that have received little or no scholarly attention, including the Epitome of the Seventh Century, the Excerpta Anonymi (tenth century), the Excerpta Salmasiana (eighth to eleventh centuries), and the Excerpta Planudea (thirteenth century). Three aspects of these texts are analysed in detail: their method of redaction, their literary structure, and their cultural and political function. Combining codicologi- cal, literary, and political analyses, this study contributes to a better understanding of the intertwining of knowledge and power, and suggests that these collections of historical excerpts should be seen as a Byzantine way of rewriting history. Panagiotis Manafis is a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Birmingham, UK. His research interests include middle Byzantine literature, with a particular focus on the manuscript transmission of texts.

  • 247 Matt. 18:2 “Jesus” (TR & AV) {A} Preliminary Textual Discussion. The
    247 Matt. 18:2 “Jesus” (TR & AV) {A} Preliminary Textual Discussion. The First Matter. Tischendorf considers that without qualification the variant is followed by F 09 (9th century). By contrast, Swanson considers that the original Byzantine manuscript F 09 was blank at this verse, and that a later “corrector” added in its present verse 2 (I assume sometime before the end of the 16th century). I am unable to inspect this manuscript myself. But either way, the variant is a minority Byzantine reading, since it was either originally part of F 09, or was subsequently written out as the variant by a Byzantine scribe. Moreover nothing much hangs on this, since one can show the reading inside the closed class of sources from elsewhere. The Second Matter (Diatessaron formatting). Inside the closed class of sources, the Vulgate reads Latin, “ Iesus (Jesus),” at both Matt. 18:2 and Luke 9:47. As a consequence of Diatessaron formatting, it is not possible to tell if the prima facie reading of Matt. 18:2 in the Latin Vulgate Codex of the Sangallensis Diatessaron, got its Latin, “Ihesus (Jesus),” from one or both of these sources. Thus no reference is made to this Diatessaron, infra . Likewise, outside the closed class of sources, due to Diatessaron formatting, it is not possible to tell where the prima facie reading of Luke 9:47 in Ciasca’s Latin-Arabic Diatessaron got the Latin, “ Iesus ,” from. Thus once again, no reference is made to this Diatessaron, infra . Principal Textual Discussion. At Matt. 18:2, the TR’s Greek, “ o (-) Iesous (Jesus),” in the words, “And Jesus called” etc.
