ABSTRACT the Relationality of the Holy One of Israel in the Book Of ABSTRACT The Relationality of the Holy One of Israel in the Book of Isaiah This dissertation explores the ways that “the Holy One of Israel” is used in the book of Isaiah to depict Yahweh, the powerful and unapproachable God, in his personal relationship with Israel. It investigates the actions and character of Yahweh as the Holy One of Israel and the nature and purpose of Yahweh’s holiness as reflected in the Holy One of Israel’s treatment of Israel. It considers how Yahweh seeks to manifest his holiness in the midst of rebellion through righteous actions. In particular, it examines how the Holy One of Israel rebukes, redeems, and restores Israel, despite her rebellious disposition and actions. This research affirms that Israel’s relationship with the Holy One is not contrived, but comes out of a genuine experience, as evidenced by Yahweh’s desire to empower Israel to live righteously. When God and his people act righteously, the Holy One has manifested his holiness. This thesis demonstrates that the Holy One of Israel is a relational God who has the spiritual and sanctifying power to transform unrighteous people to live righteously. Therefore, the prophet Isaiah calls Israel to return to the Holy One of Israel who, though he rebukes his people, does so in order to restore them, and transform them into “oaks of righteousness” (Isa 61:3). Thus the Isaianic use of the special epithet reminds Israel of the immanence of Yahweh who belongs to Israel, and it connotes: “the Holy One of Israel, the powerful righteous redeemer is with you .” DISSERTATION APPROVAL SHEET This dissertation, entitled The Relationality of the Holy One of Israel in the Book of Isaiah written by Tony Tung-Kan Chen and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy has been read and approved by the undersigned members of the Faculty of Asbury Theological Seminary ________________________________ Dr. John N.

    Copyright © Two Journeys Ministry Andrew M. Davis Sermon Notes www.twojourneys.org Please use in accordance with the copyright policy found at twojourneys.org Wicked Babylon’s Fall from Its Lofty Throne Isaiah 47:1-15 Main Idea: Babylon is portrayed as a pampered and wicked Sorceress Queen which God will throw from her lofty throne to vindicate his chosen people. There is more going on in this world than meets the eye… there is an entire spiritual world around us at every moment… a world that cannot be perceived with the five senses. It is a realm of spiritual existence that cannot be proven or disproven in the laboratories of MIT or the Research Triangle Park. It is a world that can only be perceived BY FAITH IN THE WORD OF GOD This invisible world preceded the physical world in which we feel so at home… it includes above all things Almighty God… the invisible God, whom no one has ever seen or can see. But it also includes many spiritual beings as well… angels of various types who serve God passionately and with perfect holiness; but also demons—fallen angels—and their dark King, called Satan or the Devil… they are called in some places in Scripture “rulers, authorities, and powers of this dark age” In mysterious and immeasurable ways, the devil and his angels run this world—they orchestrate the world system in its patterns of rebellion against God Satan is called “the god of this age” or “the ruler of the power of the air.” During the temptation of Jesus Christ in the desert, the devil took Christ to a very high mountain and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of this world and their splendor.

  • The Biblical Canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church
    Anke Wanger THE-733 1 Student Name: ANKE WANGER Student Country: ETHIOPIA Program: MTH Course Code or Name: THE-733 This paper uses [x] US or [ ] UK standards for spelling and punctuation The Biblical Canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church 1) Introduction The topic of Biblical canon formation is a wide one, and has received increased attention in the last few decades, as many ancient manuscripts have been discovered, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the question arose as to whether the composition of the current Biblical canon(s) should be re-evaluated based on these and other findings. Not that the question had actually been settled before, as can be observed from the various Church councils throughout the last two thousand years with their decisions, and the fact that different Christian denominations often have very different books included in their Biblical Canons. Even Churches who are in communion with each other disagree over the question of which books belong in the Holy Bible. One Church which occupies a unique position in this regard is the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church. Currently, it is the only Church whose Bible is comprised of Anke Wanger THE-733 2 81 Books in total, 46 in the Old Testament, and 35 in the New Testament.1 It is also the biggest Bible, according to the number of books: Protestant Bibles usually contain 66 books, Roman Catholic Bibles 73, and Eastern Orthodox Bibles have around 76 books, sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on their belonging to the Greek Orthodox, Slavonic Orthodox, or Georgian

  • Latter-Day Saint Kinship: the Salvific Power of the Family
    Latter-Day Saint Kinship: The Salvific Power of the Family Louisa Fowler Honors Defense Date: May 6th, 2020 ​ ​ Thesis Advisor: Professor Christopher Vecsey Defense Committee: Professor Benjamin Stahlberg Professor Steven Kepnes Introduction Since its inception in 1830, the people of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Days have evoked reactions from the public, ranging from confusion to outrage. In turn, the Church community has struggled to fit into secular society. The Church has constantly worked to craft and improve its relationship with the world. Recently, in 2018, Latter-Day Saint President Russell M. Nelson explained that the “Lord has impressed upon [his] mind the importance of the name he has revealed for the Church.”1 Latter-Day Saints reject the title ‘Mormons,’ asking outsiders to refer to members of the Church as Latter-Day Saints. Non-members of the Church misunderstand the Latter-Day Saint community, right down to its name. For the last two centuries, the Church community has been mysterious and confusing to the ‘outside world.’ What exactly do the Latter-Day Saints believe? Why do they behave the way that they do? Why do they seem so ‘other’, in relation to the greater society in which they live? This thesis will utilize the lens of the Latter-Day social structure-- from family life to marital expectations, to dating guidelines-- in order to demonstrate that this religion is unique due to its view of the family as sacred. An understanding of Latter-Day Saints’ family life is the key to understanding their Church because Latter-Day Saint religion is deeply relational, embedded in gender, marriage, and the family.

  • C. a Chronological List of Pertinent Writings on Bible Quotations and Language Uses That Are Part of the Book of Mormon
    C. A Chronological List of Pertinent Writings on Bible Quotations and Language Uses That Are Part of the Book of Mormon In his well-researched book, Mormons and the Bible, Harvard-trained Philip L. Barlow, a noted scholar on American religious history, writes the following: The Bible’s broad influence in America from the time of the initial English settlements seems intuitively obvious . the scriptures were prominent from the first (see Hath and Noll, eds., The Bible in America). .l . In 1816, a national organization had formed in order to—as its constitution put it— “claim our place in the age of Bibles.” In less than four years the American Bible Society had distributed nearly one hundred thousand copies of the Holy Book. (see Whitney R. Cross, The Burned- Over District: The Social and Intellectual History of Enthusiastic Religion in Western New York, 1800-1850, p. 127) After some further discussion Barlow writes: All their lives the Smiths were a Bible-believing family in a Bible-believing culture. Into such a family, at the turn of the nineteenth century, Joseph Smith Jr., the future Mormon prophet, was born. He produced more scripture—scripture that at once challenged yet reinforced biblical authority, and that echoed biblical themes, interpreted biblical passages, shared biblical content, corrected biblical errors, filled biblical gaps, was built with biblical language, and restored biblical methods, namely the prophetic process itself. (Source: Philip L. Barlow, Mormons and the Bible: The Place of the Latter-day Saints in American Religion. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991, p. 3-5, 10-12.) In view of such conditions, it was not surprising that from the very beginning, questions arose as to the biblical content of the Book of Mormon.
