BIBLE SOFTWARE ON THE WORKBENCH OF THE BIBLICAL SCHOLAR: ASSESSMENT AND PERSPECTIVE Oliver Glanz Andrews University Abstract This article pursues two objectives. First, it tries to explain why Bible software is still not accepted as an indispensable tool for textual analysis. Second, it suggests that modern Hebrew databases can truly impact the analytic methodology of biblical scholars and help to verify and falsify interpretative suggestions. To achieve these two objectives, I will first describe the role Bible software plays in today’s scholarship. By contrasting the aids that Bible software offers with the analytic needs of biblical scholars, it is possible to show clearly what current electronic tools need if they are to play an essential methodological role in the analytic work of the scholar. The second part of the article will then illustrate, in some detail, what the Hebrew database of the Eep Talstra Centre of Bible and Computer (ETCBC) could offer today to the Old Testament scholar and how a future implementation into Bible software could deliver an electronic tool that becomes indispensable

Keywords: Bible software, exegesis, Gen 20 Introduction Database producers of biblical Hebrew and Greek often approach their texts and digital tools in a different way than most users of Bible software. While database producers search for linguistic patterns from the smallest units (phonology: sound units) up to the highest language structures (text-grammar: grammatical backbone of texts),1 Bible software users predominantly use their databases as a digital extension of their analog tools (Hebrew/Greek texts, dic- tionaries, concordances, and grammars).

  • Sermon Notes: June 7, 2020 Focus: Trinity Sunday Lectionary Readings Trinitarian Images Are Everywhere in Our Liturgy
    Sermon Notes: June 7, 2020 Focus: Trinity Sunday Lectionary Readings Trinitarian images are everywhere in our liturgy. At the same time, there are many Christian groups who reject the Trinity. Pentecostal churches (Church of God, independent Pentecostals); Jehovah’s Witness; Mormons and denominations that you’ve never heard of don’t believe “In the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” If you forget most of this sermon, just remember that Trinity is a relationship. I want to get into some theology; but my primary goal is to give you a reason to care about the Trinity or to know why you don’t care. There are lots of small pieces that one could use to cobble together a scriptural understanding of the Trinity. This is found especially in the beginning of Genesis and when people get baptized. The most explicit verse is at the end of Matthew. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. There is also a reference in 1st John - For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. It’s a stretch to build the Trinity upon these and other oblique references, but that is exactly what the church in history has tried to do. Here are some historical “heresies” around the Trinity. I am willing to bet that one of them is your favorite. Sabellianism, Noetianism and Patripassianism Trinity is expressed in Could not find an image reference, but it leans to modal and tritheistic sensibility different “modes.” Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not distinct, but rather different faces God.

  • The Triune God As Similarity in Difference: an Engagement with Paul Ricoeur's Hermeneutical Detour JH Ahn Orcid.Org / 0000-00
    The Triune God as similarity in difference: An engagement with Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutical detour JH Ahn orcid.org / 0000-0002-0574-3183 Thesis accepted for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Dogmatics at the North-West University Promoter: Prof S Van Der Walt Graduation: May 2020 Student number: 28883179 Acknowledgments The last moment of the long journey to the Triune God probably should inevitably end with Augustine’s confession: “I [Augustine] confess rather that the highest Trinity’s sublime knowledge has been too great for me, and that I am unable to reach to it” (Ps 138:6) (De Trin. 15.27.50). I also praise the Holy Triune God: “Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul” (Ps 146:1). I would like to express my gratitude to my promoter Prof. Sarel Van Der Walt who gave me guidance and advice as well as encouragement. I would also like to give thanks to Prof. Hae Moo Yoo. Through him, I gained trinitarian perspectives for theology. I would like to express my special gratitude to my wife Hyo Jung Lee and my lovely children; Dong Eun, Si Eun, Cho Eun. I want to dedicate this thesis to my family. I Abstract The aim of this study is to apply Ricoeur’s (1913-2005) philosophical hermeneutics to the doctrine of the Trinity and to move and expand the doctrine from the notional sphere to the pragmatic field through trinitarian hermeneutics. The basic structure of this thesis is constituted by interaction between three fields: Ricoeur’s hermeneutical detour (symbols, metaphors, and narratives), doctrine of the Trinity (the analogical, the immanent, and the economical Trinity) and biblical texts.

  • The Christological Function of Divine Impassibility: Cyril of Alexandria and Contemporary Debate
    The Christological Function of Divine Impassibility: Cyril of Alexandria and Contemporary Debate by David Andrew Graham A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and the Theological Department of the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by David Andrew Graham 2013 The Christological Function of Divine Impassibility: Cyril of Alexandria and Contemporary Debate David Andrew Graham Master of Arts in Theology University of St. Michael’s College 2013 Abstract This thesis contributes to the debate over the meaning and function of the doctrine of divine impassibility in theological and especially christological discourse. Seeking to establish the coherence and utility of the paradoxical language characteristic of the received christological tradition (e.g. the impassible Word became passible flesh and suffered impassibly), it argues that the doctrine of divine apatheia illuminates the apocalyptic and soteriological dimension of the incarnate Son’s passible life more effectively than recent reactions against it. The first chapter explores the Christology of Cyril of Alexandria and the meaning and place of apatheia within it. In light of the christological tradition which Cyril epitomized, the second chapter engages contemporary critiques and re-appropriations of impassibility, focusing on the particular contributions of Jürgen Moltmann, Robert W. Jenson, Bruce L. McCormack and David Bentley Hart. ii Acknowledgments If this thesis communicates any truth, beauty and goodness, credit belongs to all those who have shaped my life up to this point. In particular, I would like to thank the Toronto School of Theology and Wycliffe College for providing space to do theology from within the catholic church.

  • The Johannine Comma (1 John 5:7-8)
    The Johannine Comma (1 John 5:7-8) The so-called Johannine Comma (also called the Comma Johanneum) is a sequence of extra words which appear in 1 John 5:7-8 in some early printed editions of the Greek New Testament. In these editions the verses appear thus (we put backets around the extra words): ὅτι τρεῖς εἰσιν οἱ μαρτυροῦντες [ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, ὁ Πατήρ, ὁ Λόγος, καὶ τὸ Ἅγιον Πνεῦμα· καὶ οὗτοι οἱ τρεῖς ἔν εἰσι. 8 καὶ τρεῖς εἰσιν οἱ μαρτυροῦντες ἐν τῇ γῇ] τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ τὸ αἷμα, καὶ οἱ τρεῖς εἰς τὸ ἕν εἰσιν. The King James Version, which was based upon these editions, gives the following translation: For there are three that bear record [in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth], the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. These extra words are generally absent from the Greek manuscripts. In fact, they only appear in the text of four late medieval manuscripts. They seem to have originated as a marginal note added to certain Latin manuscripts during the middle ages, which was eventually incorporated into the text of most of the later Vulgate manuscripts. In the Clementine edition of the Vulgate the verses were printed thus: Quoniam tres sunt, qui testimonium dant [in caelo: Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus Sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt. 8 Et tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in terra:] spiritus, et aqua, et sanguis: et hi tres unum sunt.

  • Greek Texts and English Translations of the Bible: A
    GREEK TEXTS AND ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF THE BIBLE: A COMPARISON AND CONTRAST OF THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS GREEK NEW TESTAMENT OF THE 16th CENTURY AND THE ALEXANDRIAN TEXT OF WESTCOTT AND HORT (19th CENTURY) AND ALAND AND METZGER (20th CENTURY) CONCERNING VARIANT TEXTS THAT PERTAIN TO THE ORTHODOX CHRISTOLOGY OF THE COUNCIL OF NICEA, A.D. 325 Gil L. Samples, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2002 APPROVED: Laura I. Stern, Major Professor Harold Tanner, Chair of the Department of History Henry Eaton, Committee Member Adrian R. Lewis, Committee Member C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Samples, Gil L. Greek texts and English translations of the Bible: a comparison and contrast of the Textus Receptus Greek New Testament of the 16th century and the Alexandrian text of Westcott and Hort (19th century) and Aland and Metzger (20th century) concerning variant texts that pertain to the orthodox Christology of the Council of Nicea, A.D. 325. Master of Arts (History), December 2002, 155 pp., 149 titles. The argument of this paper is that certain salient passages in the New Testament concerning Christology, as it was defined in the Nicene creed in A.D. 325, reflect such orthodoxy better in the Textus Receptus Greek texts and the English translations made from them than do the Alexandrian texts. Arian theology, which was condemned as heretical at Nicea, is examined. Patristic quotations, historical texts, and arguments of the scholars are cited and traced, along with a comparison of Christological verses.

  • RCIA, Session #06: Major Heresies of the Early Church
    RCIA, Session #06: Major Heresies of the Early Church Adoptionism A 2nd-3rd century heresy that affirmed that Jesus’ divine identity began with his baptism (God adopted the man Jesus to be his Son, making him divine through the gift of the Holy Spirit). It was advocated by Elipandus of Toledo and Felix of Urgel, but condemned by Pope Adrian I in 785 and again in 794. When Peter Abelard (1079-1142) renewed a modified form of this teaching in the twelfth century, it was condemned by Pope Alexander III in 1177 as a theory proposed by Peter Lombard. Apollinarianism Heretical doctrine of Appolinaris the younger (310-90), Bishop of Laodicea, that Christ had a human body and only a sensitive soul, but had not rational mind or a free human will (i.e., Jesus was not fully human). His rational soul was replaced by the Divine Logos, or Word of God. The theory was condemned by Roman councils in 377 and 381, and also by the 1st Council of Constantinople in 381. Arianism A fourth century heresy that denied the divinity of Jesus Christ. Its author was Arius (256-336), a priest of Alexandria who in 318 began to teach the doctrine that now bears his name. According to Arius, there are not three distinct persons in God, co-eternal and equal in all things, but only one person, the Father. The Son is only a creature, made out of nothing, like all other created beings. He may be called God by only by an extension of language, as the first and greatest person chosen to be divine intermediary in the creation and redemption of the world.

  • Vom Apostel Johannes Und Gottes Wort?
    Ist das „CJ“ vom Apostel Johannes und Gottes Wort? 1Jh 5,6-8: „Dieser ist der, der durch Wasser und Blut kam, Jesus, der Gesalbte; nicht in dem Wasser allein, sondern in dem Wasser und dem Blut. Und der Geist ist der Bezeugende, weil der Geist die Wahrheit ist, 7 weil drei es sind, die Bezeugende ‹sind›: der Geist und das Wasser und das Blut, und die drei sind auf das eine ‹gerichtet› [o.: und die drei sind vereint].“ So nach dem byzantinischen Text und fast sämtlichen griech. Handschriften (Hss). Der t. r. hat einen längeren Text: „Dieser ist der, der durch Wasser und Blut kam, Jesus, der Gesalbte; nicht in dem Wasser allein, sondern in dem Wasser und dem Blut. Und der Geist ist der Bezeugende, weil der Geist die Wahrheit ist, 7 weil drei es sind, die im Himmel Bezeugende ‹sind›: der Vater, das Wort und der Heilige Geist, und diese drei sind eins; 8 und drei sind es, die auf der Erde Bezeugende ‹sind›: der Geist und das Wasser und das Blut, und die drei sind auf das eine ‹gerichtet› [o.: und die drei sind vereint].“ Den kursiv gedruckten Text nennt man in der Geschichte der Textkritik das Comma Johanneum (CJ; zu Deutsch: „der johanneische Einschub“; gemeint ist der Satz, wie ihn Stephanus 1550 in seiner griechischen Ausgabe des NT hatte). Das CJ wird ab 1550 von allen textus-receptus-Ausgaben bezeugt und erscheint in allen größeren receptus-Bibelübersetzungen. Wohl kein anderer Text des NT war unter Christen (vor allem im englischen Sprachraum) so umstritten. Ist er echt oder eine spätere Hinzufügung?1 Ist das „Comma Johanneum“ vom Apostel Johannes und Gottes Wort? Das CJ findet sich bis ins 14.

  • Institute for Renaissance and Reformation Biblical Studies, 1987)
    Hills Revisited By Jon Whitmer [Jon Whitmer is an extraordinarily able young man. After reading Kutilek’s “anger venting fest” I found the task of replying to his rage a thoroughly disagreeable task. I asked Jon if he would take up the duty and he complied in a wonderful fashion. Just a sidelight on what is the otherwise inexplicable carelessness and sophomoric content found in Kutilek’s remarks. The reader would do well to remember that Edward Freer Hills had an earned doctorate in N.T. text criticism from Harvard University and that his dissertation was approved by one of the most highly celebrated N.T. text critics in the first half of the 20th century, Kirsopp Lake. Moreover, three essays from this dissertation appeared in the Journal of Biblical Literature. Kutilek has never had anything published in the JBL. He has never had anything published in any peer- reviewed journal that I know of. Also he has no higher degree from any accredited institution of higher learning that I know of, much less a degree in text criticism. Finally, the real cause for this animus of his is found in the fact that he was fired from Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri because he did not see eye to eye with the administration in their choice to hold to the textus receptus and the Authorized Version. Solventur risu tabulae, Horace. Theodore P. Letis, Ph.D.] This is an analysis of “Notes and Criticisms on Theodore P. Letis' Book, Edward Freer Hill's Contribution to the Revival of the Ecclesiastical Text” found at http://www.kjvonly.org/doug/notes_theodore_letis_book.html.
