In Genesis, we know that day’s work, and squeezing errands into our on the seventh day of Creation, God rested! spare moments. What a good idea to focus “By the seventh day God had finished the work on getting the rest that we need. In the he had been doing; so on the seventh day he midst of this busy world, Jesus invites us to rested from all his work” (2:2). Surely God slow down, to take the time to enjoy His was not tired, right? Yet, He saw value in this rest, and to rejuvenate our souls. by John Koessler ATTRIBUTES OF GOD Goodness A popular worship chorus declares: “God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He’s so good to me.” The divine attribute of goodness refers primarily to who God is and only secondarily to what He does. Of course, the two are related— God does good because He is good. God does not measure up to the standard of goodness. He is the standard. This helps us to understand the surprising response to the man who fell on his knees before Jesus and asked, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered, “Why do you call me good? No one is good—except God alone” (Mark 10:17). This man’s view of goodness was too limited. He treated it as if it were merely a matter of personal achievement, a standard independent of God to which he might attain, if he tried hard enough. Jesus makes it clear that all goodness is derived from God. Since no one is good but God, no one can be good apart from God. Jesus is good because He is God. We can be good only through our relationship with Him. Why Theology Matters It might be said that goodness is really the quality of “godness.” It is moral character that is a reflection of all that God is and does. God’s goodness can be imitated only when it is the product of the Holy Spirit’s ministry (Gal. 5:22). It is the “fruit of the light,” a reflection of the new life that has come to us through Christ (cf. Eph. 5:1–10). For Further Reading To learn more about how God’s goodness affects our moral behavior, read The Goodness of God: Theology, the Church, and Social Order by D. Stephen Long (Baker). MBNEWS OF PEOPLE AND EVENTSI TAT MOODYoday BIBLE INSTITUTE AUGUST 2004 “Unlocking the Bible” Moody Broadcasting, Moody Publishers, and Chicago’s Largest Bible Study By Lisa Ann Cockrel ast winter over five thousand people participated in what was dubbed Chicago’s Largest Bible Study. LUsing Ten Keys for Unlocking the Bible, a book and video series authored by Colin S. Smith and published by Moody Publishers, over 800 groups spent ten weeks deep- ening their understanding of Scripture. The program was developed in the Chicago suburbs at Arlington Heights Evangelical Free Church where Colin Smith serves as senior pastor. Moody Bible Institute recog- nized the powerful potential of this series to help people understand the main stories and themes of Scripture. Both publishing and broadcasting divisions jumped on board to Colin S. Smith, author of a book and video series Ten Keys for Unlocking the Bible The 10 Keys for Unlocking the Bible is a perfect format for Bible study in the marketplace. Over forty people attended each week during the lunch hour. The seekers were particularly impressed by the fact that the more mature believers were still learning and gaining new insights about God and the Bile through the study. I highly recommend this study for marketplace ministry. BILL—Sears, Roebuck and Co. CONTINUED ON PAGE 39 August 1 SUNDAY Read: James 3:13–18 TODAY IN THE WORD social enjoyment.

  • Rembrandt – Insight Into an Artist’S Mind
    Rembrandt – Insight into an Artist’s Mind Rembrandt’s self-portraits are legion. He also painted himself into some of his Biblical and historic paintings. Here are three of them: Rembrandt is the 14th person on the boat “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee” “The Raising of the Cross.” “The Descent from the Cross.” Rembrandt is the man in the blue cap Rembrandt is the man on the ladder Rembrandt’s Bible-based body of work Here is a partial list of Rembrandt’s Bible-based paintings, etchings, and drawings. It is only partial because some of these subjects he visited time and again, drawing or painting from a different perspective. Fully a third of his entire output was based on the Bible. Many of these titles refer to events in the same chapter in the Bible. (e. g., “Simon with Jesus” and “The Presentation”; both are from Luke 2). Trying not to count the same chapter twice, I came up with a figure of more than 75 different Bible chapters represented in these titles – an impressive oeuvre, all influenced by the Word of God. Paintings A Heroine from the Old Testament , Abraham and the Angels, Abraham’s Sacrifice, Balaam and the Ass, Bathsheba , Boaz and Ruth, Boaz pouring Six Measures of Barley into Ruth’s veil, Christ and Mary Magdalene at the Tomb, Christ and the Samaritan at the Well, Christ in the Storm, Christ on the Cross, Christ Resurrected, Christ Washing the Feet of His Disciples, Daniel and King Cyrus in front of the Idol of Bel, Daniel in the Lion’s Den, David and Jonathan, David Playing the Harp for Saul, David presents the Head of Goliath to King Saul, Ecce Homo, Esau Sells his Birthright to Jacob, Esther is Introduced to Ahasuerus, Esther with the Decree of Destruction, Haman and Ahasuerus visit Esther, Head of Christ, Jacob Blessing the Children of Joseph, Jacob wrestling with an Angel, Jeremiah Lamenting the Destruction of Jerusalem, John the Baptist Preaching, Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife, Joseph Tells his Dreams.

William Armstrong In the Year of the Lord 1889, the Austrian Emperor Francis Joseph celebrated his fifty-ninth birthday and forty-first anniversary of his reign over the vast Empire of Austria and Hungary; when he died, in 1916, he had ruled the state for sixty-eight years. The realm was huge - covering over 180,000 square miles or about 450,000 square kilometres. The emperor's domains stretched, in the east-west axis, from Czernowitz on the Dniester River in today's Ukraine to Vorarlberg on the Swiss border, and, in the north-south axis, from the lower Elbe River near Aussig to Ragusa in the Bosnian Hercegovina, two thirds down the eastern Adriatic coast. Ethnically and thus politically, however, these territories were hopelessly divided. The racial diversity of the Imperial population included Germans in Austria, Hungary and the Sudetenland; Czechs in Bohemia and Moravia; Slovaks to their east; Poles in western Galicia and Ruthenians, Catholic Ukrainians, in the eastern part of it; Magyars in Hungary and Transylvania interspersed with some more Germans and Romanians; Slovenes, Friaulians and Italians south of the Julian Alps; and finally Croats, Bosnians, Albanians, Montenegrinos and Serbs in and around the Balkan mountains. All these groups fought incessant but mostly inconclusive battles over appointments, representation and influence in the empire and its court, while a laborious civil administration struggled with the actual governance of the multitudes.

It starts by looking at Walter Benjamin’s ‘The Author as Producer’, which introduces issues of artistic intentionality, political commitment and its relation to the aesthetic quality of an artwork. It then goes on to address ‘The Politics of Aesthetics’ by Jacques Rancière, which incorporates the notion of the ‘distribution (or partition) of the sensible’ as its main analytical tool.

ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 3:2 (Summer 2011) 1 REMBRANDT’S GIFTS: A CASE STUDY OF ACTOR-NETWORK-THEORY Michael Zell This study explores the applicability of Actor-Network-Theory, a recent paradigm of social theory, to the investigation of Rembrandt’s relations with patrons and collectors. Known by the acronym ANT, the method privileges objects as critical agents in creating, sustaining, and extending social ties and thus offers a model for capturing the dynamics underlying the interdependencies between Rembrandt, his art, his patrons, and collectors. I focus on Rembrandt’s works presented and circulated as gifts, which epitomize the short-lived assemblies between humans and objects that ANT considers the cornerstone of social activity.
