  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • How NOT to Respond to Tragedy: Learning from Job's Friends
    Wheelersburg Baptist Church 4/22/07 Brad Brandt “How NOT to Respond to Tragedy: Learning from Job’s Friends” ** Main Idea: We learn both how to respond and how NOT to respond to tragedy by looking at Job’s friends in the book of Job. I. We learn how to help people in crisis (2:11-13). A. Notice what Job’s friends did (11-12). 1. They heard about Job’s trouble (11). 2. They went to be with Job. 3. Their goal was to comfort him. 4. They wept and grieved with Job (12). B. Notice what Job’s friends did not do (13). 1. They did not hide their grief (no plastic smiles!). 2. They did not rush Job. 3. They did not speak to Job seven days and nights. C. Notice some marks of a good friend. 1. A good friend makes personal sacrifices. 2. A good friend is a good listener. 3. A good friend engages in the ministry of presence. 4. A good friend exhibits humility. 5. A good friend is real. II. We learn how NOT to help people in crisis (chapters 3-37). A. Here’s what Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar did (chapters 3-31). 1. They said true things but failed to get all the facts. 2. The problem wasn’t so much what they said but what they didn’t know (11:7-8). 3. They said there had to be sin when there wasn’t (8:4; 11:6; 18:19; 22:5). 4. They preached truth at Job instead of ministering truth to him.

Job SECTION OUTLINE ONE (JOB 1-2) Job is introduced. God allows Satan to test Job's faithfulness by taking all that he has. Job responds with great sorrow, but he worships God. Satan accuses Job again and strikes him with boils. Job's wife tells him to curse God and die, but Job remains faithful. Three of Job's friends come and mourn with him. I. JOB'S PRESTIGE (1:1-5) A. His faith (1:1): "There was a man named Job who lived in the land of Uz. He was blameless, a man of complete integrity. He feared God and stayed away from evil." B. His fortune (1:3): "He owned 7,000 sheep, and 3,000 camels, 500 teams of oxen, and 500 female donkeys, and he employed many servants.

  • A Serious Man
    THE BIBLE AND CRITICAL THEORY ARTICLES A Serious Man Timothy Stanley, University of Newcastle A Serious Man cinematically deconstructs the life of a mid-twentieth century physics professor named Larry Gopnik. A Job-like theodicy ensues in which the paradoxes of quantum mechanics are haunted by questions of good and evil as well as the spectre of an un-named God. Although a number of commentators have suggested the film is based on the biblical book of Job, the following paper argues for its place within a longer history of commentary. To this end, the film provides a radical if not farcical interrogation of theodicy in the after-math of quantum mechanics. In one of the early scenes of the Coen brothers’ film, A Serious Man, a physics professor named Larry Gopnik giddily finishes off a mathematical proof for the counterintuitive implications of quantum mechanics.1 “And that’s Schrödinger’s paradox, right? Is the cat dead or is the cat not dead” (Coen and Coen 2007)? Soon after he has filled his chalkboard, we are taken to his office to listen in on a meeting he has with a student named Clive who has failed the exam. Evidently Clive simply recounted the story of Schrödinger’s cat,2 but failed to do the math. As Larry will say, “But ... you ... you can't really understand the physics without understanding the math. The math tells how it really works. That's the real thing; the stories I give you in class are just illustrative; they're like, fables, say, to help give you a picture… I mean – even I don't understand the dead cat” (Coen and Coen 2007, 19).3 Although the math is the real thing, it provides a paradoxical account of the world in which we actually live.

  • The Book of Job the Book of Job
    THE BOOK OF JOB THE BOOK OF JOB BY NORMAN H. SNAITH, M.A. Tutor in Old Testament Languages and Literature, Wesley College, Headingley, Leeds THE EPWORTH PRESS (EDGAR C. BARTON) 25-35 City Road, London, E.C.r All rights rmrved First published in r945 Mark in Great Britain I THE ANALYSIS OF THE BOOK 1. The Prologue, i, ii J oB is a wealthy Edomite sheikh of long ago, the greatest and most prosperous of them all, a man of blameless piety, scrupulous, even ultra-scrupulous in every slightest duty, perfect, upright and devout. ·Jehovah Himself testifies to his unswerving integrity, unique among the sons of men, but the Satan chal­ lenges this statement in the midst of the heavenly court. Job is but a time-server. Strip him of his wealth, kill his children, and he will renounce God with the rest. And so the Satan is permitted to deprive Job of everything, possessions, servants, chil­ dren, but not to touch Job himself. Bedawi raids begin, and lightnings and storm-winds complete the destitution, but Job in his poverty is as devout as Job with his wealth. The heavenly court gathers again, with God still sure of Job's integrity and the Satan still unbelieving. Now the Satan is permitted to smite Job with a loath­ some 'leprosy' (probably ecthyma), in which the sufferer is covered from head to foot with raw and itching ulcers. Job's wife breaks under the strain, but Job remains steadfastly devout. The last three verses of ii tell of the visit of Job's three friends, who hear of his misfortunes and come to comfort him.
