David 2006 “Topicality and Functional Voice in Hebrew and Moronene, with Application to Translation.” Fuller Theological Seminary, School of Intercultural Studies. Ph.D. in Intercultural Studies. 346 pp. This dissertation aims to show that an analysis of Biblical Hebrew clause types in terms of topicality and functional voice will make a contribution to the task of translating Hebrew into other languages. Hebrew has only two syntactic voice categories. But many other languages, including Austronesian languages, have a richer system of voice distinctions, with perhaps four main voices.

    “As followers of Jesus Christ, we all need to hear God’s voice. The good news is that we can hear His voice through all 66 books in the Bible. The Old Testament is a rich treasure of biblical lessons that lead us to know the God of creation and salvation. The authors of this book have dug deep and unearthed some of the great gems of Jonah, Micah, Nahum, and Habakkuk. Through this study you can walk with these Old Testament prophets as God unfolds His story of good news that ‘salva- tion is from the Lord.’” Tim Dowdy, D.Min., Eagles Landing First Baptist Church, McDonough, Georgia, and author of Don’t Forget to Dream “This volume of Christ-Centered Exposition bears the prophetic burden of illuminating the Word of the Lord so that others might see Christ more clearly. This is a worthy endeavor that should be applauded! There are many expositors in the church who are capable at the task of exposi- tion, but what I commend to you today is that, just as the exposition should light a clearer path to Christ, so should the lives of the exposi- tors do the same. What you will find in these pages is not exposition done in abstraction, but the Christ-centered focus of faithful men who reflect and apply these truths in their ministries, their families, and their own lives. This book (and this series) is a part of the clarion call of the apostle Paul for faithful men who have sat at the feet of Christ ‘to teach others also’ (2 Tim 2:2).

  • Exegesis and Exposition of Habakkuk 2:3-4
    EXEGESIS AND EXPOSITION OF HABAKKUK 2:3-4 Pastor William E. Wenstrom Jr. WENSTROM BIBLE MINISTRIES Norwood, Massachusetts 2020 William E. Wenstrom, Jr. Bible Ministries Exegesis and Exposition of Habakkuk 2:3-4 Habakkuk 2:3 Appointed Time for the Revelation Habakkuk 2:3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. (NIV) “For the revelation awaits an appointed time ” is composed of the following: (awaits an appointed time ” (3“ ,( עוֹד) for ” (2) adverb ʿôḏ “ ,( כִּ י) conjunction kî (1) the revelation ” (4) preposition “ ,( חָזוֹן) masculine singular form of the noun ḥā·zôn awaits an appointed time ” (5) articular masculine singular noun mô ʿēd “ ,( לְ ) lĕ ”. awaits an appointed time “ ,( מוֹﬠֵד) means “because, for” since the word is a marker of ( כִּ י) The conjunction kî cause which means that it is introducing an assertion which presents the reason for the previous two commands the Lord issued the prophet Habakkuk, which are recorded in Habakkuk 2:2. Once again, as was the case in Habakkuk 2:2, the masculine singular form of here in Habakkuk 2:3 refers to the prophecy which reveals ( חָזוֹן) the noun ḥā·zôn the Lord’s decree to judge the Babylonian empire for their unrepentant wickedness which is recorded in Habakkuk 2:4-20. It denotes that Habakkuk received revelation from God in which extrasensory audiovisual experiences, which were revelatory in character, were perceived by him. God communicated with him in a vision what would transpire in the future on planet earth and specifically what would take place with regards to the Babylonian empire.

  • TMSJ 4/1 (Spring 1993) 67-94
    TMSJ 4/1 (Spring 1993) 67-94 OT COMMENTARIES FOR BIBLE EXPOSITORS, 1987-921 James E. Rosscup Professor of Bible Exposition Recent years have witnessed the publishing of an abundance of commentaries on OT books of the Bible. A survey of such volumes published from 1987 through 1992 can be quite beneficial to one's study of the Bible for either public presentation or personal use. An annotated bibliography noting the books' purposes and evaluating how well the authors have provided comments to help expositors is a good way to look quickly at a large number of sources. After a survey of the individual works, a classification and ranking of books on Genesis illustrates a good way to compare the volumes with each other by dividing them into categories according to their types of treatment and rating them according to the quality of their explanations. * * * * * 1Editor's note: The volumes and annotations in this article have been selected from a larger annotated bibliography compiled by Professor Rosscup. Recently revised, updated, and enlarged (1993 revision of a 1983 ed.), this larger work includes approximately 1,300 individual commentaries or sets of commentaries with annotations on all sixty-six books of the Bible, the volumes deemed to be the most helpful for expositors and teachers of the Word based on the compiler's thirty-five years of seminary involvement and teaching. The unabridged bibliography is available through Grace Book Shack at the same address as The Master's Seminary Journal. This article has selected works from the last five years, 1987-92, and pertaining to the OT only.

  • Introduction to the Book of Habakkuk
    INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF HABAKKUK Pastor William E. Wenstrom Jr. WENSTROM BIBLE MINISTRIES Norwood, Massachusetts 2020 William E. Wenstrom, Jr. Bible Ministries Introduction to the Book of Habakkuk Overview The book of Habakkuk was written by a late seventh century B.C. prophet from the southern kingdom of Judah. It deals with the God of Israel’s justice in relation to evil. Specifically, it addresses the problem of a holy God and the presence of evil in the world. The book is rather unusual and unique in that unlike the other prophets of Israel and Judah who communicated God’s message to either the United Kingdom of Israel, or the northern and southern kingdoms, Habakkuk dialogs with God. In fact, most of the Old Testament prophets proclaimed God’s judgment to the nation of Israel, the northern and southern kingdoms or other Gentile nations, however, Habakkuk pleaded with God on behalf of the faithful in Judah to judge the apostate individuals in his own country. In this book, the prophet Habakkuk complains to the God of Israel that He seems to be delaying judging individuals in the southern kingdom of Judah who were unrepentantly disobedient to the Mosaic Law (1:2-4). God responds by informing the prophet that He will send the Babylonians as His instruments to judge these unrepentant Judeans (1:5-11). Habakkuk then responds by questioning God’s choice of the Babylonians who he considers more wicked than these unrepentant Jews (1:12-17). Habakkuk then waits for an answer from God (2:1), who responds by assuring Habakkuk that He will also judge the Babylonians for their unrepentant wicked behavior (2:2-20).

A host of people at various stages of the research and writing process have helped direct and shape the contents of these pages. My interest in 2 (Slavonic) Enoch began in 1994 during my studies and teaching at Abilene Christian University (Texas). Ian Fair, former Chair of the College of Biblical Studies at ACU, helped me in my adventurous transition to the North American academic environment. My appreciation goes to Ian and his wife June for their love, friendship, and support. Friends and colleagues at Abilene Christian University, Fred Aquino, Craig Churchill, Everett Ferguson, Gary Oliver, André Resner, and James Thompson provided encouragement and advice during my initial interest in the Slavonic apocalypse. My participation in the Society of Biblical Literature Early Jewish and Christian mysticism group played a formative role in the development of my methodological approach. I am grateful to April De Conick, Jim Davila, Crispin Fletcher-Louis, Jarl Fossum, Charles Gieschen, Rebecca Lesses, Andrea Lieber, Chris Morray-Jones, Phil Munoa, Alan Segal, and Michael Stone for many insightful conversations on various aspects of early Jewish mysticism and pseudepigrapha. Since the work before you is based on a doctoral dissertation accepted at Marquette University in October 2003, I would like to thank my mentors and colleagues at Marquette for their human and scholarly support.
