  • On the Inerrancy of Scripture
    ON THE INERRANCY OF SCRIPTURE David P. Bolin You do err, knowing neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. Matthew 22:29 I. Introduction In many of the recent writings of Scripture scholars there seems to be a certain reluctance to discuss the nature of the inspiration of Scripture and its relation to the interpretation ofScripture. For example, the document ofthe Pontifical Bib­ lical Commission, The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church, denies that it intends to consider the theology of inspiration. The Commission does not aim to adopt a position on all the questions which arise with respect to the Bible-such as, for example, the theology of inspiration. What it has in mind is to examine all the methods likely to contribute effectively to the task of making more available the riches coutained in the biblical texts. 1 But in order for the Biblical Commission to achieve its stated goal, it is necessary for it to take some position regard- David Bolin earned last year the degree ofLicentiate in Sacred Theo­ logy from the International Theological Institute for Marriage and the Family. This article is the thesis he submitted as part of the requirement for that degree. 1 The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church, trans.]. Kilgallen and B. Byrne (Rome: Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 1993), 32-33. 23 ON THE INERRANCY OF ScRIPTURE David P. Bolin ing t~e n~t~re of inspiration and its effects on Scripture, if Examples such as this reveal both that the Commission is only 1mphe1tly, even if this is contrary to the Commission's right to reject this kind of interpretation, and that it is nec­ intentions.

  • Levi References & Notes
    LEVI REFERENCES & NOTES: Ahimelech is of Ithamar’s line; Zadok is GERSHON KOHATH MERARI of Eleazar’s line (1 Chr. 24:2,3,6). Ahimelech murdered at Nob under Saul, Abiathar escapes to David (1 Sam. 22). AMRAM IZHAR HEBRON UZZIEL Abiathar unfaithful as high priest under David (defects with Adonijah); Zadok a faithful priest at time of David (1 Kings 1:5- AARON MOSES MIRIAM KORAH NEPHEG ZICHRI 8). Zadok made high priest under Solomon; fulfils prophecy of taking priesthood from NADAB ABIHU ELEAZAR ITHAMAR SONS OF KORAH house of Eli (1 Kings 2:27, 35) *Therefore Eli must have been of Ithamar’s line. At PHINEHAS some point the priesthood seems to have ELI* passed to Eli from Phinehas (and so changing family lines). PHINEHAS Line of Zadok lasted until the exile and AHITUB also the return (1 Chr. 6:8-15; cf. Ezra 3:2). ETHAN HEMAN ASAPH It continued through intertestamental AHIMELECH (JEDUTHAN) times until Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175- 164 B.C.) sold the priesthood to Menelaus, ZADOK ABIATHAR who was not of the priestly line (2 Macb 4:23-50). By the time of Christ, Roman powers often appointed High Priests for SERAIAH political reasons, and they did not serve *Eli succeeded Abishua or Uzzi for life (it was not a hereditary office). (Josephus, Antiq. viii. 1, 3; v.11, 5). EZRA** JEHOZADAK Key singers/musicians appointed to JESHUA **Ezra was the brother Jehozadak, accompany the ark being bought to JOIAKIM Post-exilic who was taken into captivity by Jerusalem under David (1 Chr. 15).

  • The Date of Nehemiah: a Reexamination
    Andrews University Seminary Studies, Autumn 1990, Vol. 28, No. 3, 195-209 Copyright @ 1990 by Andrews University Press. THE DATE OF NEHEMIAH: A REEXAMINATION ALBERT0 R. W. GREEN Rutgers University New Brunswick, New Jersey 08903 The date for Nehemiah's two terms of governorship in Judah has in recent years been put into question. Did Nehemiah serve in this capacity in the fifth century B.c., during the reign of Persian King Artaxerxes I (465-424)?Or did he perhaps serve, instead, in the fourth century under Artaxerxes I1 (404-358)?In the former case he would have first arrived in Jerusalem in 445 B.c., and in the latter case, this arrival would have been in 384 B.c.-the 20th year of Artaxerxes (Neh 2:l-9), whichever Artaxerxes that may have been. The present article reviews the arguments on both sides of the question and the date upon which those arguments are built. 1. The Case for the Fifth-Century Date The suggestion of a fifth-century date for Nehemiah rests upon a number of historical data which have been subject to varying interpretations. A key source for fixing upon this time frame is the occurrence of the names Johanan, Sanballat, and Sanballat's sons Delaiah and Shelemiah in a papyrus letter from Elephantine dated to 407 B.c.~The latter is an appeal by the Elephantine Jewish community for aid in building a temple, and this appeal is ad- dressed to Sanballat, governor of Samaria, who was assisted in this office by his two sons. Johanan's name appears as that of the high priest in Jerusalem to whom the Elephantine community had ad- dressed an earlier appeal, but without response.

  • The Kings, Prophets and Priests of Judah
    The Kings, Prophets and Priests of Judah These studies are designed for believers in Jesus Christ only. If you have exercised faith in Christ, then you are in the right place. If you have not, then you need to heed the words of our Lord, Who said, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten [or, uniquely-born] Son, so that every [one] believing [or, trusting] in Him shall not perish, but shall be have eternal life! For God did not send His Son into the world so that He should judge the world, but so that the world shall be saved through Him. The one believing [or, trusting] in Him is not judged, but the one not believing has already been judged, because he has not believed in the Name of the only-begotten [or, uniquely-born] Son of God.” (John 3:16–18). “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life! No one comes to the Father except through [or, by means of] Me!” (John 14:6). Every study of the Word of God ought to be preceded by a naming of your sins to God. This restores you to fellowship with God (1John 1:8–10). If we acknowledge our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1John 1:9). If there are people around, you would name these sins silently. If there is no one around, then it does not matter if you name them silently or whether you speak aloud.

    READING UTOPIA IN CHRONICLES A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Steven James Schweitzer, B.A., M.A. _________________________________ James C. VanderKam, Director Graduate Program in Theology Notre Dame, Indiana March 2005 © Copyright by Steven James Schweitzer 2005 All rights reserved READING UTOPIA IN CHRONICLES Abstract by Steven James Schweitzer The book of Chronicles is examined using the methodology of utopian literary theory. From this innovative perspective, Chronicles is interpreted as a utopian work that critiques present society and its status quo by presenting a “better alternative reality.” My analysis contends that Chronicles does not reflect the historical situation of a particular time during the Second Temple period in its portrayal of the past, but rather conveys hope for a different future. While some scholars have also affirmed that Chronicles is concerned with the future, the majority of scholars believe that the content of Chronicles largely reflects the present situation of the author and in doing so reinforces or legitimizes the status quo. Also, this dissertation argues that utopianism is an underlying ideological matrix that contributes to the coherence of the book of Chronicles as a whole. Three commonly addressed concerns of the Chronicler (genealogy, politics, and the temple cult) are understood from this methodological perspective as vehicles for conveying the Chronicler’s vision for a utopian future. Thus, the scope of this analysis is broader than many recent studies on Chronicles that have focused on isolated themes, individuals, or discrete sections in the book.
