  • Another Look at Cain: from a Narrative Perspective
    신학논단 제102집 (2020. 12. 31): 241-263 https://doi.org/10.17301/tf.2020.12.102.241 Another Look at Cain: From a Narrative Perspective Wm. J McKinstry IV, MATS Adjunct Faculty, Department of General Education Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary In the Hebrew primeval histories names often carry significant weight. Much etymological rigour has been exercised in determining many of the names within the Bible. Some of the meaning of these names appear to have a consensus among scholars; among others there is less consensus and more contention. Numerous proposals have come forward with varying degrees of convincing (or unconvincing as the case may be) philological arguments, analysis of wordplays, possi- ble textual emendations, undiscovered etymologies from cognates in other languages, or onomastic studies detailing newly discovered names of similarity found in other ancient Semitic languages. Through these robust studies, when applicable, we can ascertain the meanings of names that may help to unveil certain themes or actions of a character within a narrative. For most of the names within the primeval histories of Genesis, the 242 신학논단 제102집(2020) meaning of a name is only one feature. For some names there is an en- compassing feature set: wordplay, character trait and/or character role, and foreshadowing. Three of the four members in the first family in Genesis, Adam, Eve, and Abel, have names that readily feature all the elements listed above. Cain, however, has rather been an exception in this area, further adding to Genesis 4’s enigmaticness in the Hebrew Bible’s primeval history. While three characters (Adam, Eve, and Abel) have names that (1) sound like other Hebrew words, that are (2) sug- gestive of their character or actions and (3) foreshadow or suggest fu- ture events about those characters, the meaning of Cain’s name does not render itself so explicitly to his character or his role in the narrative, at least not to the same degree of immediate conspicuousness.

  • PROGRAM NOTES the Classical Master Josef Haydn and The
    Program Notes The Classical master Josef Haydn and the idiosyncratic minimalist Arvo Pärt may seem like a musical odd couple, but this afternoon’s pairing brings to- gether two composers who share some fundamental characteristics. Both are men of a deep personal faith which is often reflected in their music. And both were unafraid to reference contemporary events in their music. Haydn’s title Missa in Tempore Belli (Mass in a Time of War) was his own, and refers to the Napoleonic wars, which were played out in large measure on Austrian soil. Pärt dedicated his 2008 Symphony No. 4 “Los Angeles” to Mikhail Khodoro- vsky, the Russian oil magnate, philanthropist, and vocal critic of the Putin government, whose imprisonment was widely thought to be politically mo- tivated, and his selection of the text for Adam’s Lament is his response to the ongoing tensions between Islamic and Christian worlds. Estonian-born Arvo Pärt (b. 1935) reinvented his compositional style after making an early name for himself as an avant garde composer. His early com- positions were fiercely atonal and serial, but he also experimented with aleatoric music, where he might indicate the range of pitches for a given voice but not specify discrete pitches, rhythms or durations, and collage music, in which he layered phrases of music from composers like Bach onto his own 12- tone music. The premiere of Pärt’s 1968 Credo, a choral collage piece, caused something of an uproar. The use of the liturgical text had not been approved by the Soviet composers’ union and the work was subsequently banned in the Soviet Union.

  • Courtney Cain, Ph.D. 2017 Letter from the Chair
    University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign www.history.illinois.edu Spring 2018 Courtney Cain, Ph.D. 2017 Letter from the Chair uring the past year, from Charlottesville to the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s launching of the Protestant Reformation to the centennial of the Russian Revolution Dand the sesquicentennial of our beloved University of Illinois, we were continuously reminded of the ways in which history impacts our present. Events also strengthened our conviction that historians and lovers of history must vigorously engage public discourse. Our job is not merely to set the record straight but also to add complexity and multiple perspec- tives to what might seem to be simple issues. Commitment to history as a form of civic engagement is what led many of our own faculty and graduate students to our discipline and it continues to drive our teaching and research. Over the past year, it has been thrilling to see our undergraduate students adopt this passion and reach out to share it with new audiences. This could take the form of Hidden History tours of campus conducted by public history students based on their own research projects. Or it could transform the airwaves via the People’s History Hour radio show, created by two of our majors. One of them, Nick Goodell, spoke for all of us when he declared, “History seems to me to be the best way to understand our world.” Clare Crowston The pages of this newsletter reflect our colleagues’ close engagement with a number of important anniversaries and historical events. Perhaps closest to our hearts is the 150th anniversary of the founding of our own university.

  • LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON GENESIS 4:1–2 Why Did Cain Kill His Brother Abel?
    CHAPTER ONE LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON GENESIS 4:1–2 You two are book-men: can you tell me by your wit; What was a month old at Cain’s birth, that’s not five weeks old as yet? (Shakespeare—Love’s Labor’s Lost 4.2.40) Why did Cain kill his brother Abel? It is usually assumed by modern commentators that God’s rejection of Cain’s offering led him to kill his brother in a fit of jealousy.1 Such a conclusion is logical in light of the way the action in the story is arranged. But the fact is we are never told the specific reason for the murder. Ancient exegetes, as we will see later, also speculated over Cain’s motive and sometimes provided the same conclusion as modern interpreters. But some suggested that there was something more sinister behind the killing, that there was something inborn about Cain that led him to earn the title of first murderer. These interpreters pushed back past the actual murder to look, as would a good biographer, at what it was about Cain’s birth and childhood that led him to his moment of infamy. Correspond- ingly, they asked similar questions about Abel. The result was a devel- opment of traditions that became associated with the brothers’ births, names and occupations. Who was Cain’s father? As we noted in the introduction, Cain and Abel is a story of firsts. In Gen 4:1 we find the first ever account of sexual relations between humans with the end result being the first pregnancy.

  • 9 the Mystical Bitter Water Trial [Text Deleted]
    9 The Mystical Bitter Water Trial [text deleted] 9.1 Golems as Archetypes of the Trial’s Supernaturally Inseminated Seed [text deleted] 9.2 Lilith as the First Sotah [text deleted] 9.3 Lilith and Samael as Animating Forces in Golems [text deleted] 9.4 Azazel as the Seed of Lilith No study of Lilith would be complete without a discussion of the demon Azazel. This is true because several clues in many ancient texts - including the Torah, the Zohar, and the First Book of Enoch - indicate that Azazel was the seed of Lilith. The texts further hint that Azazel was not the product of Lilith mating with any ordinary man, but rather he was the firstborn seed resulting from her illicit mating with Semjaza, the leader of a group of fallen angels called Watchers. As the seed of the Watchers, Azazel was the first born of the Nephilim, a race of powerful angel-man hybrids who nearly pushed ordinary mankind to extinction before the flood. But Azazel was much more than just a powerful Nephilim. Regular Nephilim were the products of the daughters of Adam mating with Watchers. Azazel was the product of Lilith mating with the Watchers. He is thus less human than all, and the most powerful, even more powerful than the Watchers who sired him. Azazel’s role in the Yom Kippur ceremony of Leviticus 16 indicates he is a rival to Messiah and God. This identifies Azazel as the legendary seed of the Serpent of Eden. God declared in his curse against the Serpent that this great seed would bruise the heel of Eve’s promised seed (Messiah), but Eve’s seed in turn would crush the head of the Serpent Lilith and destroy her seed.

  • The Psychology of Satan Jennifer Putnam This Paper Was Written for Dr
    The Psychology of Satan Jennifer Putnam This paper was written for Dr. Thomas! Milton course. It was presented at the 2009 Sigma Tau Delta International Convention. John Milton!s Satan is a psychologically complex character. Satan has qualities which make him a brilliant leader, but which also cause him great pain. He is a militant ruler with powerful speeches, and a cunning deceiver with rich disguises. The actions Satan takes, however, cause him great an- guish. It is through his soliloquies that Satan takes off his mask and reveals the troubled person he really is. John Milton in Paradise Lost portrays Satan as a proud, passionately manipulative, and complex character that endures an internal conflict from which he cannot escape. Though Milton begins his masterpiece in medias res, we must start from the beginning with Satan as the angel Lucifer. Lucifer enjoys his high stature in Heaven, until the Son is anointed instead of him, and he becomes jeal- ous. It is then that Lucifer draws emotionally away from God and Heaven. James Holley Hanford and James Taaffe show the results of this jealousy by commenting, “Following God!s announcement of the Son!s elevation, Satan initially defected from the angelic forces” (172). His defection is a result of be- ing too proud of being a servant, which leads to anger and thus, his rebellion. Royland Frye points out the irony of Satan!s refusal to become a slave in that Satan actually becomes a slave to his emotions. Frye says, “As a result of his choice, he becomes a slave to what would, psychologically, be called an "ego- deal,! an identification of the self with an impossible image,” (35).

FORBIDDEN FRUIT: DRYDEN’S THE STATE OF INNOCENCE AND FALL OF MAN , AN OPERATIC VERSION OF PARADISE LOST by DEVANE KING MIDDLETON (Under the Direction of Candy B. K. Schille) ABSTRACT Ever since Dryden published his opera The State of Innocence , critics have speculated about his reasons for making a stage adaptation of Milton’s Paradise Lost . The fact that Dryden worked for Milton in Cromwell’s government may have been a factor. Dryden’s Puritan indoctrination during childhood, followed by influences from a royalist schoolmaster in his teenage years, makes the answer to the question somewhat more complex, as does the fact that the play, its source a Puritan epic adapted by an Anglican royalist poet, is dedicated to the Catholic bride of James, Duke of York and brother to Charles II.
