In 1883 the Liddell and Scott Greek Lexicon, published by Harper & Brothers, glossed monogenes in this way: “μονογενής, ές, (S, Ep. and Ion. (μουνογ-: only-begotten, single, παῖς Hes. Op. 374, Th. 426, Hdt. 7. 221, etc. ; μ. αἷμα one and the same blood, Eur. Hel. 1685. Adv. - γῶς, growing alone, Arr. Peripl. M Rubri p.n.”1 However, the newly revised Liddell and Scott Greek Lexicon that is now available online glosses monogenes in this way. “μονο-γενής, ές, Ep. and Ion. μουνο-γενής, (γένος) the only member of a kin or kind: hence, generally, only, single, παῖς Hes.Op.376, Hdt.7.221, cf. Ev.Jo.1.14, Ant.Lib.32.1; of Hecate, Hes. Th.426. 2. unique, of τὸ ὄν, Parm. 8.4; εἷς ὅδε μ. οὐρανὸς γεγονώς Pl.Ti.31b, cf. Procl.Inst.22; θεὸς ὁ μ. Sammelb.4324.15. 3. μ. αἷμα one and the same blood, dub. l. in E. ̄̄̄̆ Hel.1685. 4. Gramm., having one form for all genders, A.D.Adv. 145.18. 5. name of the foot , Heph.3.3. II. Adv. μονογε-νῶς, φέρεται μ. ἐν ἑνὶ τόπῳ grows only in one place, Peripl.M.Rubr.56, cf. 11. 2. in a unique manner, Aët. 15.13,14.”2 As you can see, the glossed meaning of the word has changed, leaving not a trace of the original meaning of “only-begotten.” A modern reader would have no clue that originally Liddell and Scott understood the word to also mean only-begotten. And what is so ironic is that some of the same references that were used to show that the word meant only-begotten are now used to support the new gloss of only member of a kin or kind. For instance, Hes. Op. 376 (374) is used to support both meanings. However, when we actually look at the text we find out it cannot support the new, underlying meaning which they have assigned to monogenes. The Greek text is as follows. “…μουνογενὴς δὲ πάις εἴη πατρώιον οἶκον φερβέμεν ὣς γὰρ πλοῦτος ἀέξεται ἐν μεγάροισιν. γηραιὸς δὲ θάνοις ἕτερον παῖδ᾽ ἐγκαταλείπων.3 1 Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, Greek-English Lexicon, Seventh Edition (Harper & Brothers, New York, 1883) pg. 976 2Sourced.from:www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057% 3Aentry%3Dmonogenh%2Fs 3Sourced.from:www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0131% 3Acard%3D370 4 And in English it would read: “And might there be an only-begotten son to feed his father’s house, for, as such, possessions will multiple in your dwelling. Moreover, by allowing another child, you may die [ripe] in old age.”4 A. W. Mair, Professor of Greek at Edinburgh University, translates it this way. “May there be an only born son to feed his father's house: for so is wealth increased in the halls. But late be thy death if thou leave a second son.5 And, Willem Jacob Verdenius, professor of the Greek Language at the University of Utrecht, makes this comment as to whether the translation of monogenes should be “only-begotten” or “only member of its kin” in this passage. “376: μουνογενής. Not ‘the only member of its kin’ (LSJ) but ‘only-begotten’: cf. A. Ag. 898 μουνογενἑς τέκνον πατρἰ, Pl. Criti. 113 d 2 μονογενῆ θυγατρέρα ἐγεννηςἁσθην. Although the advice has a general purport, Hes. may be thinking of the fact that his personal difficulties would not have arisen if he had been an only child himself.”6 Monogenes cannot mean “only member of a kin” in this context. Now, let’s leave aside the latter part of this text; it makes no difference if the advice is to only have one child, or to have more than one child.

Homeric Time Travel In a recent pair of articles I argued that the Odyssey presents itself as the heroic analogue to, or even substitute for, fertility myth.1 The return of Odysseus thus heralds the return of prosperity to his kingdom in a manner functionally equivalent to the return of Persephone, and with her of life, to earth in springtime. The first paper focused on a detailed comparison of the plots of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter and the Odyssey;2 and the second on the relationship between Persephone’s withdrawal and return and the narrative device of ring-composition.3 In my analysis of ring-composition, I concluded that what began as a cognitive and functional pattern, organizing small-scale narrative structures, evolved into an aesthetic pattern, organizing large blocks of narrative, before finally becoming an ideological pattern, connecting the hero’s return to the promise of renewal offered by fertility myth and cult.

Today, having a clear faith based on the Creed of the Church is often labeled as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, that is, letting oneself be “tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of doctrine”, seems the only attitude that can cope with modern times. We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one’s own ego and desires.

  • The Rapture in Twenty Centuries of Biblical Interpretation
    TMSJ 13/2 (Fall 2002) 149-171 THE RAPTURE IN TWENTY CENTURIES OF BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION James F. Stitzinger Associate Professor of Historical Theology The coming of God’s Messiah deserves closer attention than it has often received. The future coming of the Messiah, called the “rapture,” is imminent, literal and visible, for all church saints, before the hour of testing, premillennial, and, based on a literal hermeneutic, distinguishes between Israel and the church. The early church fathers’ views advocated a sort of imminent intra- or post- tribulationism in connection with their premillennial teaching. With a few exceptions, the Medieval church writers said little about a future millennium and a future rapture. Reformation leaders had little to say about prophetic portions of Scripture, but did comment on the imminency of Christ’s return. The modern period of church history saw a return to the early church’s premillennial teaching and a pretribulational rapture in the writings of Gill and Edwards, and more particularly in the works of J. N. Darby. After Darby, pretribulationism spread rapidly in both Great Britain and the United States. A resurgence of posttribulationism came after 1952, accompanied by strong opposition to pretribulationism, but a renewed support of pretribulationism has arisen in the recent past. Five premillennial views of the rapture include two major views—pretribulationism and posttribulation-ism—and three minor views—partial, midtribulational, and pre-wrath rapturism. * * * * * Introduction The central theme of the Bible is the coming of God’s Messiah. Genesis 3:15 reveals the first promise of Christ’s coming when it records, “He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.”1 Revelation 22:20 unveils the last promise when it records “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly,’ Amen.

  • Books of the Bible and of the Apocrypha an Introduction
    BOOKS OF THE BIBLE AND OF THE APOCRYPHA AN INTRODUCTION TO BIBLE APOCRYPHA (WITH A BIBLE HISTORY CHART AT THE END) Page 1-2: Introduction Historical controversy continues today among Bible students, researchers, scholars, and clergy about the subject of the Apocrypha; whether these "Bible-related" books are considered to be the very Word of God, or of historical reference accounts, or of uncertain origin and best kept on the shelf. Some Apocryphal books have even been marketed for sale as "Lost Books of the Bible". Essentially, Old Testament Apocrypha (14 books primarily) consists of Jewish documents that were not accepted into the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament as actual books of canon scripture, even though they were included in most of the early translations of the Bible (as far back as the Greek Septuagint), typically as a separate section after the Old Testament. Then there is the New Testament Apocrypha, which are writings attributed to Christians of the first four centuries in Christ but were not accepted into the New Testament either, and are very rarely included in any Bible. A summary introduction of each of the following charts is now presented. Page 3: Comparison of Modern Bibles Chart This chart compares a modern post-1885 KJV Bible with the 1970 Catholic New American Bible (NAB) translation and the difference is that the NAB still contains 10 of the original 14 OT Apocrypha books. The irony is that the pre-1885 KJV and earlier English translations contained all 14 Apocrypha books. What happened in 1885 to remove all Apocrypha from the KJV? The Latin Vulgate Bible of 405 A.D.

Structure as Interpretation in the Odyssey ‘Defining Greek Literature’ poses an interesting challenge for Homerists, like myself, committed to the proposition that the epics reflect the compositional practices of oral poetry the world over.1 In terms of formal approaches, many scholars, including contributors to this volume, have found it productive to apply narratology to elucidate Homer, a methodology with greater universalizing assumptions than oral theory. Nevertheless, an aspect of the epics that I believe is distinctive, and in certain respects unique, is the ways in which they manipulate traditional conventions so as to guide reception. Although Scodel rightly cautions against assuming homogenous audiences of epic connoisseurs, the practice does, I think, imply audience members able to recognise the patterns and respond to the manipulation.

Grace to you and peace from Almighty God through Jesus Christ be multiplied. 1 Clem. 1:1 By reason of the sudden and repeated calamities and reverses which are befalling us, brethren, we consider that we have been somewhat tardy in giving heed to the matters of dispute that have arisen among you, dearly beloved, and to the detestable and unholy sedition, so alien and strange to the elect of God, which a few headstrong and self-willed persons have kindled to such a pitch of madness that your name, once revered and renowned and lovely in the sight of all men, hath been greatly reviled. 1 Clem. 1:2 For who that had sojourned among you did not approve your most virtuous and steadfast faith? Who did not admire your sober and forbearing piety in Christ? Who did not publish abroad your magnificent disposition of hospitality? Who did not congratulate you on your perfect and sound knowledge? 1 Clem. 1:3 For ye did all things without respect of persons, and ye walked after the ordinances of God, submitting yourselves to your rulers and rendering to the older men among you the honor which is their due. On the young too ye enjoined modest and seemly thoughts: and the women ye charged to perform all their duties in a blameless and seemly and pure conscience, cherishing their own husbands, as is meet; and ye taught them to keep in the rule of obedience, and to manage the affairs of their household in seemliness, with all discretion.

  • Ante-Nicene Fathers—Volume I Clement of Rome Mathetes
    The Ante-Nicene Fathers (10 Volumes) ranges from the Apostolic Fathers to various third and fourth century sources including the liturgies and ancient Syriac documents. It was intended to comprise translations into English of all the extant works of the Fathers (with the exception of the more bulky works of Origen) down to the date of the first General Council held at Nicaea in 325 A.D. The basic aim of the translations has been to strive for literary exactness, placing the English reader as nearly as possible on an equal footing with those who are able to read the original. General Editor : Phillip Schaff (1819-1893), who was born in Switzerland, was educated at Tubingen, Halle, and Berlin, and later took a position as Professor of Church history at German Reformed Seminary in Mercersburg, Penn., and Union Theological Seminary in New York. He was involved in the formation of the Evangelical Alliance, the revision of the English Bible (the Revised Version), and the Alliance of the Reformed Churches. Schaff was founder of the American Society of Church History and was the author of The History of the Christian Church (8 volumes).

  • First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
    [TAKEN FROM] THE WRITINGS OF THE APOSTOLIC FATHERS. TRANSLATED BY REV. DR ROBERTS, DR DONALDSON, AND REV. F. CROMBIE. EDINBURGH: T. & T. CLARK, 38, GEORGE STREET. LONDON: HAMILTON & CO. DUBLIN: JOHN ROBERTSON & CO. MDCCCLXVII. [1867AD] INTRODUCTORY NOTICE THE first Epistle, bearing the name of Clement, has been preserved to us in a single manuscript only. Though very frequently referred to by ancient Christian writers, it remained unknown to the scholars of Western Europe until happily discovered in the Alexandrian manuscript. This MS. of the sacred Scriptures (known and generally referred to as Codex A) was presented in 1628 by Cyril, Patriarch of Constantinople, to Charles 1, and is now preserved in the British Museum. Subjoined to the books of the New Testament contained in it, there are two writings described as the Epistles of one Clement. Of these, that now before us is the first. It is tolerably perfect, but there are many slight lacunae, or gaps, in the ms., and one whole leaf is supposed to have been lost towards the close. These lacunae, however, so numerous in some chapters, do not gen- erally extend beyond a word or syllable, and can for the most part be easily supplied. Who the Clement was to whom these writings are ascribed, cannot with absolute certainty be determined. The general opinion is, that he is the same as the person of that name referred to by St Paul (Phil. iv. 3). The writings them- selves contain no statement as to their author. The first, and by far the longer of them, simply purports to have been written in the name of the church at Rome to the church at Corinth.
