Most importantly, I am thankful to God and his grace in my life. Without him, I surely never would have desired to study the Scriptures, much less the glorious gospel of his Son Jesus Christ. The energy I put into this study was not simply natural energy-my interest stems from the Holy Spirit's convicting work. I am deeply aware of my own unrighteousness, and I long to grow in my knowledge and experience of what it means to be found righteous in Christ. I am also very thankful for the parents God has given me. Along with raising me in the gospel, they have been very supportive in all of my graduate work. My supervisor, Dr. Stephen Wellum, has been enthusiastic about this topic from the outset. His advice remains invaluable; I am extremely thankful for his input-especially given the many obligations he has to fulfill. The other members of my committee, Dr. Thomas Schreiner and Dr. Gregg Allison, also provided important feedback, as well as my external reader, Robert Peterson. Wherever I have not followed their advice exactly, I am probably the worse for it. Other readers who deserve many thanks for their input include Kevin McFadden, Brad Baugham, and (once again) my father. Kudos go to Timothy Mackey for his language prowess. Style experts Marsha Omans on and Toby Jennings sought to Xl point me on the straight and narrow-I take full blame for any remaining breaches of the SBTS style guide. Finally, I would be remiss not to thank Lee Tankersley, who will perhaps one day get around to reading my dissertation. Whenever I was immersed in study at my library carrel, Lee had the knack of rousing me from my dogmatic slumber with a necessary and provocative question: "Do you want to go to Chick-Fil-A for lunch today?" Micah McCormick Louisville, Kentucky May 2010 XlI CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION In 1937, as J. Gresham Machen lay dying, he dictated one final telegram to his long time friend and colleague John Murray. In it, Machen wrote two simple sentences: "I'm so thankful for active obedience of Christ. No hope without it."} This great Protestant leader, who had defended and articulated so many theological truths throughout his career, when pressed with the reality of his impending death, chose to single out one particular doctrine-the doctrine of the active obedience of Christ. For Machen, this teaching was not simply a matter of doctrinaire speculation-it was the comfort of his heart. Although Machen once preached a sermon on this doctrine, he never wrote a major work on it. This work attempts to help fill that gap. Throughout, one simple question is in view: Is the active obedience of Christ a biblical teaching? This work concludes that the active obedience of Christ.

The MCWT is based closely on the 1983 edition of Biblica Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS). As of version 2.0, however, MCWT introduced differences between the editions, based on new readings of Codex Leningradensis b19A (L). The MCWT was collated both computationally and manually against various other texts, including Kittel's Biblia Hebraica (BHK), the Michigan-Claremont electronic text. Additionally, manual collations were made using Aron Dotan's The Holy Scriptures and BHK.

But this was inevitable for three reasons. The first reason is the tremendous pressure which has been and is being exerted in behalf of the RSV by the Publishers and by the National Council of Churches which is the owner of the copyright. They have not been willing to allow the new version to speak for itself and stand on its own merits. They are using every possible means to persuade Bible readers to accept it as a vast improvement on AV and ARV, and to induce Church Boards and Agencies to adopt it as the Standard Version for use by their respective denominations.

  • The Shepherd Student
    WRS Journal 12:2 (August 2005): 27-36 THE SHEPHERD STUDENT Earl L. Brown, Jr. Breath of Breath1 says Qoheleth,2 the whole is breath. Not only was Qoheleth wise but he also taught knowledge to the people; he studiously weighed3 and arranged many proverbs. Qoheleth sought to find delightful words,4 and to write true words with precision.5 The words of the sages are like prods, and the collected sayings are like firmly fixed nails; they are given by one shepherd6 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. There is no end to the making of many books, and much study is wearisome to the body.7 Having heard everything, I have reached this conclusion. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will evaluate every deed, including every secret thing, whether good or evil. Ecclesiastes 12:8-14 [Brown adaptation of NET Bible8] The text set before us is not only the key to the interpretation of the book, but it accurately coalesces the convergent philosophy of life as a précis of the life of Solomon,9 as it is paraphrased in the lives of Robert Dick Wilson, Allan MacRae, and Robert W. Anderson.10 Life Transitions: From Solomon to Jesus, From David’s Son to David’s Greater Son Solomon was the Old Covenant prototype for the masterful Shepherd Student. Unlike Solomon, however, Jesus learned in his earthly human nature, obedience “through the things which he suffered” (Heb 5:8). It is in this capacity that Christ in the New Covenant provides a superior Shepherd and student (see 1 Pet 2:21).
