    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.

  • Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: a Critical Evaluation of Two Translations
    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.8, No.2, 2017 Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: A Critical Evaluation of Two Translations Izzeddin M. I. Issa Dept. of English & Translation, Jadara University, PO box 733, Irbid, Jordan Abstract This study is devoted to discuss the renditions of the prophets' names in the Holy Quran due to the authority of the religious text where they reappear, the significance of the figures who carry them, the fact that they exist in many languages, and the fact that the Holy Quran addresses all mankind. The data are drawn from two translations of the Holy Quran by Ali (1964), and Al-Hilali and Khan (1993). It examines the renditions of the twenty five prophets' names with reference to translation strategies in this respect, showing that Ali confused the conveyance of six names whereas Al-Hilali and Khan confused the conveyance of four names. Discussion has been raised thereupon to present the correct rendition according to English dictionaries and encyclopedias in addition to versions of the Bible which add a historical perspective to the study. Keywords: Mistranslation, Prophets, Religious, Al-Hilali, Khan. 1. Introduction In Prophets’ names comprise a significant part of people's names which in turn constitutes a main subdivision of proper nouns which include in addition to people's names the names of countries, places, months, days, holidays etc. In terms of translation, many translators opt for transliterating proper names thinking that transliteration is a straightforward process depending on an idea deeply rooted in many people's minds that proper nouns are never translated or that the translation of proper names is as Vermes (2003:17) states "a simple automatic process of transference from one language to another." However, in the real world the issue is different viz.

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.

  • Witnessing Lot's Wife
    !1 Ariell Watson November 5, 2015 Lumen et Vita Symposium Witnessing Lot’s Wife: Traumatic Memory and Vicarious Trauma In Judeo-Christian popular imagination, the cities of “Sodom and Gomorrah” epitomize sinful hedonism and divine annihilation. In the midst of the apocalyptic scene of sulfur, fire, and destruction in the book of Genesis, we find a peculiar verse: “But Lot’s wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.”1 This paper will interpret the biblical text as a tale of traumatic memory, examine the risk of vicarious trauma to caregivers, and affirm best practices in trauma care. In order to understand the role of traumatic memory and trauma care in this story, one must first identify the disruptive experiences that may have haunted Lot’s wife. The text offers very little insight to her past; we know neither her name nor her opinion of the events that led up to the family’s hasty departure from their home. One can infer, however, that Lot’s wife had witnessed several traumatic scenes in the previous hours: a mob at the door of her house; neighbors threatening to assault her husband and break in to their home; Lot offering up their unwed daughters to the sexual appetites of the crowd; and the hasty extraction of her family. On the way to safety, Lot’s wife made her fateful mistake: she “looked back,” against the angel’s instruction. Scholarly opinions diverge regarding whether the danger of “looking back” arose from the pain of grief, or from disobedience of divine injunction.

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.

  • The Courage of Caleb and Joshua S
    •=',1-. ,KeNlitt:Mtee--,,,K, %SU a -et Takoma Park, Washington, D. C., September 21, 1922 A.ev,..a041,-;ff, '''*‘a 9 The Courage of Caleb and Joshua S. E. 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.

  • When Jesus Comes, You Find Your Purpose John 1:6-9, 15
    1 WHEN JESUS COMES, YOU FIND YOUR PURPOSE JOHN 1:6-9, 15 Every kid who’s sat in a science class has heard of Isaac Newton’s famous encounter with a falling apple. Newton was the first to explain the laws of gravity back in the 1600s which revolutionized the study of astronomy and so much more. But few people know that if it weren’t for another scientist named Edmund Halley, the world might never have heard of Isaac Newton. It was Halley who challenged Newton to think through his original ideas. It was Halley who corrected Newton’s mathematical errors and prepared geometrical figures to support Newton’s discoveries. It was Halley who persuaded Newton to write his great book, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. It was Halley who edited and supervised the publication of that book, and even financed its printing although Newton was wealthier than Halley and could have easily paid to have it printed himself. Historians consider it one of the most selfless examples in the history of science. Newton began almost immediately to reap the rewards of his new prominence. Halley received little credit. Now, he did use Newton’s principles to predict the orbit and return of the comet that now bears his name. You’ve heard of Halley’s Comet that comes close to Earth every 76 years. But otherwise you don’t hear a lot about Edmund Halley. He’s a great example of a devoted scientist who didn’t care who received the credit as long as the cause of science advanced.
