Lastly, to my husband, Johan: Thank you for sharing in on my enthusiasm for this project, and for believing in me. Oslo, Norway December 11, 2018. ii iii Abstract Scholars have raised concern regarding the authenticity of several unprovenanced post- 2002 “Dead Sea Scrolls” fragments. In addition to addressing suspicious physical and scribal features, a theory of textual correspondence between the fragments and modern editions of the Hebrew Bible has been proposed. This theory is twofold: It argues 1) that there is a correspondence in line to line layout, and 2) that readings suggested in the critical apparatus by the editors of the modern editions seem to have been imported to the fragments. This thesis intends to aid scholars in determining the fragments’ authenticity by testing the theory of textual correspondence through a systematic analysis of several unprovenanced fragments. Twenty-seven fragments from the Schøyen Collection and the Museum of the Bible Collection have been selected for this analysis. Ten of them are already referred to as modern forgeries in relevant literature, six of which confirm the theory of textual correspondence. It therefore seems probable that textual correspondence is in some cases a characteristic of modern forgery. As seven of the remaining seventeen fragments also show textual correspondence to modern editions of the Hebrew Bible, there is good reason to question the authenticity of these fragments as well. This thesis therefore argues that further research must be done in order to determine the authenticity of all published unprovenanced “Dead Sea Scrolls” fragments. iv v Abbreviations BHK Biblia Hebraica Kittel 2nd edition BHS Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia DSS Dead Sea Scrolls DSSFMC Dead Sea Scrolls Fragments in the Museum Collection Gleanings Gleanings from the Caves: Dead Sea Scrolls and Artefacts from the Schøyen Collection L Codex Leningrad 픏 Old Latin 픐 Masoretic Text (sometimes referred to as MT in quotes) MotB Museum of the Bible 픖 Peshitta ⅏ Samaritan Pentateuch 픊 Septuagint 픗 Targum 픙 Vulgate vi vii Contents 1.

  • Week 11 the Lord of Creation Against His People Micah 1-2 Threats
    Week 11 The Lord of Creation Against His People _________________________ Micah 1-2 Micah opens with God summoning the people of the earth to come and witness his judgment against Israel1. Both Israel in the north and Judah in the south are under divine condemnation. The first half of chapter 1 establishes God’s authority and power through the distruption of creation itself at his coming. The prophet announces the unmaking of Samaria as the city is returned to its pre-inhabited state. The second half of the chapter begins the judgment against Judah through a series of wordplays using the city names of some of the prominent communities of Judah. The big picture of chapter 1 is that the Lord Almighty, before whom all creation quakes, will come to judge his people for their sin. Threats Against Samaria & Jerusalem (1:1-16) 1. Read Micah 1:1-7. In Leviticus 18:24-30, the Lord explained to Israel that the land of Canaan had “vomited out its inhabitants” because the canaanites had become unclean for their many sins. They had defiled the land with their paganism. Israel was being warned that the same could happen to them when they took possession of Canaan. What does this teach us about the relationship between God, his world, and sin? 2. In verse 7, we see that the punishment to come would see the Assyrian army using the precious metals taken from Samaria to increase the extravagance of their own cultic centers. How is this an appropriate punishment for the sin of Samaria?2 1Micah served the Lord from Judah around the same time as Hosea in Israel and Isaiah in Jerusalem.

  • Jonah 4 “The Pity Party” by Kent Crockett
    www.makinglifecount.net Jonah 4 “The Pity Party” By Kent Crockett www.makinglifecount.net Here’s a snapshot of the book of Jonah. In Jonah 1, he’s the prodigal prophet—running from God In Jonah 2, he’s the praying prophet—crying out to God In Jonah 3, he’s the preaching prophet—speaking for God In Jonah 4, he’s the pouting prophet—complaining to God. After Jonah ran away from God’s call, the Lord gave him a second chance to do his assignment. This time he goes to Nineveh in Assyria, walks up and down the streets preaching God’s judgment, and the entire city repents. The king puts on sackcloth and tells the entire city to fast to stop God’s judgment, and the Lord calls off the calamity. Jonah got a second chance to do God’s will, but he was furious that the Lord would give the Ninevites another chance. He failed to see his own hypocrisy in the situation. When God didn’t destroy Nineveh, Jonah decided to throw a pity party. Jonah 3:10 When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them and He did not do it. In response to Jonah’s preaching, the entire city of 600,000 people turns to God. The whole city—the king, all the people, and even the animals wore sack cloth and fasted. This touched the heart of God—but it didn’t touch Jonah’s heart.

    There Is Now No Insider or Outsider Hannah Robinson Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Malone University Honors Program Adviser: T. C. Ham, Ph.D. April 27, 2021 Table of Contents Preface i Introduction 1 Interlude: the first Woe 4 Chapter One: Rahab 5 Interlude: the first Confession 19 Chapter Two: Jonah 20 Interlude: the second Confession 35 Interlude: the second Woe 36 Chapter Three: The Ethiopian Eunuch 37 Interlude: the third woe 49 Conclusion 50 the third confession 55 Resolution 55 Acknowledgments 56 i Preface The initiation starts early. When I was five or six years old, I decided I wanted to be baptized. The decision was motivated by childlike faith. And a desire to belong. Because even then, I saw a divide: there were baptized believers who took communion together and constituted the church’s membership, and then there were the others. The ones who weren’t baptized, who weren’t full-fledged believers, who weren’t quite insiders yet. As I grew older, so did the divide between me and “the world.” I learned how to avoid all appearances of evil by not dating too young, not reading books with too much magic in them, and not saying words like “gosh” or “gee” because they were a form of taking God’s name in vain. Armed with a smattering of Aristotelian logic and a heavy dose of creationist apologetics, I learned how to debate my beliefs. I learned how to fight for the seemingly concrete concept of truth. I read books about how to keep my femininity from being tainted by feminism, rooted for Ken Ham when he debated Bill Nye, and watched popular Christian films.

  • Versions and Translations the Following Outlines Some of the Key
    Versions and Translations The following outlines some of the key characteristics of several Bibles currently in use. A number of the Bible translations most popular in the Western world today can be found in searchable form online (see: http://www.ntgateway.com/bible-translations/). The King James Version (KJV) The translation was planned from 1604 and published in 1611 under the auspices of King James VI of England. This Bible has become one of the most influential English books in modern Western civilization. It served as a unifier of English politics and religious disagreements. The King James Bible uses an economy of words and voices beautiful cadences that have led many to call it elegant. It remains a favorite in many Protestant circles. The Douay-Rheims Bible The first English translation for Roman Catholics was produced in Douay and Rheims in France from 1582-1610. It is based not upon the Hebrew and Greek text but rather the Vulgate, the Latin translation that was the authoritative Bible for the Catholic Church for much of its history. Its close adherence to the Latin makes many passages difficult for contemporary readers to understand, and it has largely fallen into disuse in many Catholic quarters. It is sometimes called the Rheims-Douay Bible. The American Standard Version (ASV) The growing sense that the KJV was based on less-than-ideal manuscripts and philological knowledge led to the British Revised Version in 1885. An American edition, the ASV, came out in 1901 and represented several hundred further emendations to suit its American audience. The ASV is sometimes thought of as by students of biblical languages as a particularly “wooden” translation, and it does in some respects seek to replicate the feel of the original, for example in using “Jehovah” rather than “Lord,” or “Sheol” rather than “grave/Hell.” However, the ASV is also quite euphemistic in places.

  • The Book of Ruth
    THE BOOK OF RUTH FIRST AND FOREMOST, GOD IS THE TRUE HERO OF THE STORY. NO MATTER HOW CAPTIVATING THE OTHER CHARACTERS MAY BE, OUR TOP PRIORITY IS TO DISCOVER WHAT THE BIBLE REVEALS ABOUT GOD. Carolyn James. The Gospel of Ruth RUTH 1:1, JUDGES 17:6 In the days when the judges ruled there was a famine in the land, and a man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. FAMINE One such famine occurred in 1889 in Sudan. At that time Sudan was cut off from the outside world by the successful revolution of a religious leader called the Mahdi. An Austrian officer named Rudolf Carl von Slatin was trapped in Sudan by the revolt. In the summer of 1889 famine struck. Von Slatin later escaped and recorded his experiences. He tells of children being sold into slavery to keep them from starving. He speaks of people found dead every morning on the streets of Omdurman, the capital city. When the numbers increased, the ruler of the city declared every man responsible for throwing the dead in front of his house into the river. The inhabitants of the Omdurman then tried to drag the corpses from in front of their houses over to the neighbors. Each morning quarrels rang out across the city as men fought over where the dead really died. Merchants had to keep hippopotamus-hide whips nearby to drive off the maddened beggars who would attack them bodily and ravish their shops.

  • When God Disappoints Jonah 4:1-4
    When God Disappoints Jonah 4:1-4 Introduction Good morning, my name is Brad and I’m one of the pastors here. Over the past couple months we have been focusing on what it means to have the identity of an Eyewitness to the grace of God. Guiding us along the way has been a sermon series in the book of Jonah titled, “The Pursuit of Those Far From God,” along with Eyewitness Trainings for men and women. One other way we’re driving this home is by capturing short videos of the everyday work of members in our church, the classrooms and cubicles where our people are sent week after week to experience the presence of God and participate in his mission. Let’s watch another one together: [Bill Stayton video]. Thanks, Bill, for giving us a glimpse into your life and ministry, and thanks to Dan Bush for putting these videos together. If anyone else is interested in doing one of these, let me know and we’ll send Dan your way. Today we’re breaking open the final chapter of Jonah with a message titled, “When God Disappoints”. The passage we’ll be looking at is Jonah 4:1-4. Here is today’s main idea: Anger at God reveals a problem at heart. We’ll basically unpack that in two parts: Jonah’s Anger at God - vv. 1-2 and Jonah’s Problem at Heart - vv. 3-4. With that said, if you are able, please stand with me to honor the reading of God’s word.
