Download date: 05. Oct. 2021 A Pentecostal Hearing of Ezekiel: Ezekiel’s Visions by the hwhy-dy and the xwr By Lisa Rene Ward A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Philosophy and Religion College of Arts, Education, and Humanities Bangor University 2019 ABSTRACT Current studies about Spirit-inspired visions are largely descriptive or overshadowed as they are part of a larger examination on Spirit baptism, pneumatology, or eschatology. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the discussion of Spirit-inspired visions and to inspire Pentecostal communities to read Ezekiel in a fresh new way so as to hear what the Spirit has to say about the diverse ways in which the activities of the Spirit are engaged in Ezekiel’s visions. This study proposes that the conclusions drawn from a literary theological analysis of Ezekiel’s visions provide the reader with the basis for constructing overtures towards a Pentecostal theology of Spirit-inspired visions. This thesis examines the literary and theological relationships primarily between the activities of the divine xwr (‘Spirit’), the hwhy-dy (‘hand of YHWH’), and the affective language in the four significant visions in the book of Ezekiel (Ezek. 1–3; 8–11; 37.1- 14; 40–43). As such, it will give special attention to the genre identified, themes, and the literary markers observed in the text in order to discern the structure of the book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel’s visions provide the structural framework that underscores the theological themes of the Spirit, the glory of YHWH, the hand of YHWH, and the leitmotif of the affections. This study is also an intentional contribution to the current discussion concerning Pentecostal hermeneutics. The Pentecostal experience of the Spirit is considered a hermeneutical lens, which presupposes a context for biblical interpretation. A Pentecostal reading strategy based upon contemporary Pentecostal scholarship is utilized, which is informed and shaped by the Scripture, the Spirit, and the community. A narrative theological analysis is a method owing to its compatibility with the narrative orientation of Pentecostal thought. A Pentecostal hearing of the biblical texts highlights the text in its final form and derives its primary meaning from the narrative. From this perspective, a literary and theological analysis of Ezekiel will focus on the stories that the narrator tells to understand how they help the reader or hearer derive meaning in the text with special attention given to the repetition of literary markers, the structure, genre, and main characters, while drawing theological conclusions. This thesis will also incorporate reception history as a means to glean from the testimonies of early Pentecostals as they read and interpreted Ezekiel’s visions, specifically surveying the Pentecostal periodicals from the Wesleyan-Holiness and the Finished Work publications. The conclusions from this study will be put into conversation with Pentecostal spirituality. iii Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge first and foremost my family and close friends. My grandmother, Mary, (I called her Meme) was my champion. She saw something in me that motivated her to continually encourage and support me throughout the many years required to pursue this project. She went to be with the Lord before I completed this thesis, but I know she is watching over me and proud that I finished the work the Lord entrusted into my hands. My mother, Judy and brother, Dwight were also very supportive along this journey. They did not complain as I would often cancel family plans in lieu of research and writing commitments. They believed in me and said as much on a regular basis. I am also profoundly grateful to my father, Philip who is one of the most generous persons I know. There are several close friends of whom I have been blessed to be a part of their lives. Among those who persistently championed my endeavors are: Dr. William McDonald, Jennifer Marshall, Pam and Samir Idriss, Ahavah Chesed, Lisa Millen, Valerie Landfair, and Carla Jones. Without their prayers and support, I would not have endured the journey. Thank you so much for your love and support. The calling as a teacher of God’s word has continually motivated my life. I taught in various Bible schools internationally that were associated with my local church. I committed to ministry in my local church and several short-term missions’ opportunities. After completing my graduate studies at ORU, I questioned as to whether I should return to the mission field or continue with my academic endeavors. The Lord led and inspired me to pursue this project. It has been a journey filled with failure and success, disappointment and joy, and pain and healing. The joys and healings have far surpassed the pain and disappointments. Mostly, because of God’s goodness and faithfulness. The Lord’s faithfulness and provision came in the form of support from Dr. Amos Yong, who introduced me to Dr. John Christopher Thomas. God’s grace overflowed in abundance as I was accepted into a Pentecostal community of scholars who were more than academic specialists. Drs. Thomas and Lee Roy Martin became my entrusted academic advisors, mentors, and role models to whom I desire to emulate. Their lives typify true Christ followers and ministers of the gospel. They obeyed and participated with God to create a Spirit-inspired community at the Centre for Pentecostal Theology in Cleveland, TN. I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to sit at the table among many inspiring and talented PhD students over the last four years. The fellowship has been invaluable as we became a body of believers who not only pursued the academic callings upon our own lives, but also invested in each other’s lives. I am particularly thankful for the friendships and insights of Becky Basedo- Hill, Daniel Isgrigg, Rick Wadholm, David Johnson, Steffen Schumacher, and Randall Ackland. iv ABBREVIATIONS Early Pentecostal Periodicals AF The Apostolic Faith BC Bridal Call COGE The Church of God Evangel PE The Pentecostal Evangel TBM The Bridegroom’s Messenger TP The Pentecost WE Weekly Evangel Other CBQ Catholic Biblical Quarterly CPT Centre for Pentecostal Theology DPCM Burgess, S.M., et al (eds.), Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements (Grand Rapids.

    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Exeter Unit of Assessment: Theology and Religious Studies Title of case study: Biblical texts and archaeology: research that challenges and informs religious and political beliefs 1. Summary of the impact Research carried out at the University of Exeter into the ancient religious traditions reflected in biblical texts has been at the centre of two major TV documentary series. Advised and, for one series, written and presented by the main researcher, Francesca Stavrakopoulou, the documentaries contributed to the content and delivery of public broadcasting and greatly extended public understanding of the evidence concerning foundational aspects of the Jewish and Christian faiths. These documentaries, each episode of which was seen by over 1.5 million viewers, became the subject of intense public debate, generating much discussion and response in both national and international media. Stavrakopoulou, dubbed “the BBC’s new face of religion” by the Telegraph, also communicated the research in numerous other broadcasts and public events. 2. Underpinning research Certain figures and stories from the Hebrew Bible – such as Abraham or King David, or the story of the Garden of Eden – are familiar to most people, yet their historical and cultural contexts are still being explored and only just beginning to enter public consciousness. Biblical history, too easily dismissed as marginal in a secular age, remains highly pertinent to modern convictions and conflicts, as these biblical stories are central to both the Jewish and Christian faiths, and highly relevant to present-day territorial disputes in the region popularly known as the Holy Land. It is on this aspect of ancient history and religious practices that Francesca Stavrakopoulou, Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Religion in the Department of Theology and Religion, has focused much of her research.

  • Placing and Displacing the Dead in the Book of Kings
    Placing and Displacing the Dead in the Book of Kings Francesca Stavrakopoulou University of Exeter Society of Biblical Literature San Diego, November 2007 Graves function as much for the living as they do for the dead. For the dead, graves might be understood as an unchanging, perpetual and specialised place of dwelling, or a transformative space in which one might enter into a new form of existence. 1 For the living, graves serve not only to hold the remains of the deceased, or to memorialise the existence of an individual but—significantly—a grave or collection of graves might also serve to mark the boundary of a given place or to signal possession or ownership of a territory.2 The interrelation of graves and boundaries is closely tied to the veneration of ancestors. Within ancient Near Eastern ancestor cults, perceptions of the continued existence of the dead were bound up with the family household; simply put, death did not break these domestic relationships, it merely altered the nature of family members’ interaction with one another. The ancestors played an important dual role within the lives of their descendants: they bore some responsibility for the fertility and perpetuation of the family line, and they acted as guardians and guarantors of hereditary property and places, including the land upon which most Near Eastern families lived, worked, died and were buried. 3 Ancestral tombs thus functioned as physical markers of the continued existence and permanent presence of the dead. 1 For anthropological discussions of death and burial, see, for example, P. Metcalf and R.

  • Pagan Roots of the Hebrew Old Testament (Winchester: Moon Books, 2012), 128 Pp., $16.95 (Paper- Back)
    [The Pomegranate 14.2 (2012) 321-324] ISSN 1528-0268 (print) doi: 10.1558/pome.v14i2.324 ISSN 1743-1735 (online) Philip West, The Old Ones in the Old Book: Pagan Roots of the Hebrew Old Testament (Winchester: Moon Books, 2012), 128 pp., $16.95 (paper- back). In spite of its title, this book has nothing to do with H. P. Love- craft’s horror mythos. West’s work is an examination of what the author dubs the “Pagan” elements in the Hebrew Bible. His work attempts to show how early Judaism as presented in the Old Tes- tament is (contrary to most people’s expectations) polytheistic. As West describes the texts of the Hebrew Bible, “Most non-Jews and non-Christians, including most pagans, simply assume that it has nothing useful to teach them. This book aims to change that atti- tude by using the sacred Hebrew texts to expose the fascinating world of ancient Israelite religion, a religion much closer to polythe- istic paganism than the official lines from Christianity and Judaism would have us believe.” (6) The book’s intended audience is one that is Pagan, unfamiliar with the biblical texts, and who is not especially academic in background (on page 10 West explains what an endnote is, and how to use one). The book is arranged following the organization of the Hebrew Bible, and in particular the Tanakh version (5). The book begins with a general introduction to “what is the Old Testament” and what are some of the issues involved in its study. For example, West addresses who wrote it, when, and the issue of more or less accu- rate translations.
