    HE ANDIS EWSLEttER T L N FALL 2015 Family Update Fall is in the air here in Northwestern Montana - the Tamarack trees are fully arrayed in orange splendor throughout the forests, the mountain tops are blanketed in a soft covering of a white snow and the wood stove cozily warms our home once again. As we welcome the cool beauty of fall and anticipate the stirrings of wintry weather and activities, our family has reason to pause and rejoice in the Lord’s goodness that we have perceived and experienced the past months. With remarkable timing and much awaited anticipation, our family joy- fully welcomed the sweet blessing of the birth of our son, Caleb David, the very day after camp concluded for the summer! Caleb was born August 23, weighing a healthy 9’ 11” and measuring 22” long. A lovable little boy born into a family of 5 girls has certainly garnered plenty of interest, but far beyond the excitement and attention expressed over Caleb’s arrival is our understanding of the unmerited blessing of our great God in entrusting us with the life of another precious child. Caleb has been an immense joy in our family as he is eagerly passed from one big sister to another, and the girls have enthusiasti- cally embraced assisting in any duties related to his care. From bathing to diaper changing and dressing, he is continually attended to! We truly rejoice in the gift of Caleb’s life and ask that you would join with us in praying that his life would result in the praise and glory of his Maker and that he would grow to love the One who made him.

If they came unitedly, there is a possibility that they were united in the desert and in Egypt. If their invasions were separated by wide intervals of time, there is no probability that they were united in their earlier history. Our estimate of the Patriarchal and the Mosaic traditions is thus conditioned upon the answer that we give to this question.

    Asian Journal of Humanities and Social Studies (ISSN: 2321 – 2799) Volume 03 – Issue 05, October 2015 An Examination of Scriptural and Archaeological Evidences for the Historicity of Biblical Patriarchs Faith O. Adebayo The Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary, Ogbomoso, Oyo-State, Nigeria Email: ocheniadey [AT] gmail.com _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT---- The term Patriarch is the designation given to the three major ancestors of the Israelites. The ancestors are: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. However, the twelve sons of Jacob are sometimes refers to as Patriarchs, especially with the significance role played by Joseph for the sustenance of the race. The life and experiences of the Patriarchs are recorded in the book of Genesis. The stories of these Patriarchs were traditional tales which were handed down through many generations before the Old Testament writers collected them in the book of Genesis. The historicity of the Old Testament narratives about the Patriarchs has been a major debate among biblical critics, while archaeological finds has also tends to shed light on some of the events and customs attributed to the Patriarchs in the narratives. Hence, the writer in this paper will present the scriptural positions on the three Patriarchs, the archaeological discoveries that have aid the historicity of the Patriarchal narratives, and hence considered the consonance and the dissonance between the scriptural positions and archaeological discoveries that has shed light on the historicity of the Patriarchs. Keywords--- Patriarch, Archaeology, Customs, Religion, Narratives _________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1.

Since the Summer of 2013, I’ve been working on a currently untitled play inspired by the Diane Arnson Svarlien translation of Euripides’ Medea. The origin of the idea was my Theater and Culture class with Nancy Hoffman, taken in the Spring of 2013. For our midterm, we were assigned to pick a play we had read and set it in a new location. It was the morning of my 21st birthday, a Friday, and the day I was heading home for Spring Break. My birthday falls on a Saturday this year, but tomorrow marks the anniversary, I’d say. I had to catch a train around 7:30am. The only midterm I hadn’t completed was the aforementioned Theater and Culture assignment.

WIGHT President Central Union Conference THESE days in which we live are most interesting, because of the unfolding of events relative to the coming of the Lord. As the falling leaves and the changing colors of vegetation point forward to winter, so the unsettled condition of nations and society tells us that this world is in its last struggles. The thoughtful mind will weigh current history in the light of Bible prophecy. It is a common saying, " To be forewarned is to be fore- armed." Jesus was very anxious to have the disciples understand the temptations of the last days, so He gave them the warning that in- iquity would abound. Matt. 24:12. We are liable to be affected by, conditions. The believer will not be a victim of circumstances, but the prophecy is plain that many will allow their love to grow cold. What a tragedy that one should per- mit what he terms " hard times to lead him to conclude he is de- feated in the heralding of the last warning message to the world! The general breaking up of civilization will not take place until the gospel has been given to all the world. The true disciple of Christ will not look for a more favorable time to do his appointed work. The increase of iniquity does not picture a flowery future of ease for the worker, ‘but of greater earnestness and dependence on God.

  • God of the Fathers”
    THE NABATAEAN “GOD OF THE FATHERS” John F. Healey In 1929 Albrecht Alt, in his ground-shifting essay on “Der Gott der Väter”,1 invoked the epigraphic evidence provided by the Nabataean inscriptions to support his argument that the Hebrew patriarchal narratives showed traces of earlier nomadic religious tradition. This approach combined the nineteenth/early twentieth-century interest in casting light from Arabia on the patriarchal narratives with the early twentieth-century form-critical effort to get back to the earliest forms and elements of the texts. Subsequent scholarship has thrown doubt on many of the basic theses and conclusions of Alt and his followers, such as the assumption that the family unit formed the basis of the origins of Israelite religion2 and even his minimal confidence over the recovery of history from the texts.3 The Ugaritic texts were published soon after Alt wrote his essay and patriarchal religion could then be seen in the new light of El-worship.4 In the context of these develop- ments the Nabataean evidence was marginalized on the grounds that it is very late in date. It receives scant attention in later discussions. I cannot contribute usefully to the discussion of the nomadic or other origins of Israelite religion or the traditions of the Book of Genesis, but it is noteworthy that the patriarchs are presented in the Pentateuch as settling nomads, whether this is historically authentic information or not. This concept certainly became part of the Israelite self-under- standing: “A wandering Aramaean was my father” (Deut. 26:5). Several of Alt’s fundamental points remain valid: in the narratives available 1 A.
