  • Iudaea Capta Vs. Mother Zion: the Flavian Discourse on Judaeans and Its Delegitimation in 4 Ezra
    Journal for the Study of Judaism 49 (2018) 498-550 Journal for the Study of Judaism brill.com/jsj Iudaea Capta vs. Mother Zion: The Flavian Discourse on Judaeans and Its Delegitimation in 4 Ezra G. Anthony Keddie1 Assistant Professor, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada [email protected] Abstract This study proposes that the empire-wide Iudaea capta discourse should be viewed as a motivating pressure on the author of 4 Ezra. The discourse focused on Iudaea capta, Judaea captured, was pervasive across the Roman empire following the First Revolt. Though initiated by the Flavians, it became misrecognized across the Mediterranean and was expressed in a range of media. In this article, I examine the diverse evidence for this discourse and demonstrate that it not only cast Judaeans as barbaric enemies of Rome using a common set of symbols, but also attributed responsibility for a minor provincial revolt to a transregional ethnos/gens. One of the most distinctive symbols of this discourse was a personification of Judaea as a mourning woman. I argue that 4 Ezra delegitimates this Iudaea capta discourse, with its mourning woman, through the counter-image of a Mother Zion figure who transforms into the eschatological city. Keywords Iudaea capta/Judaea capta − Flavian dynasty − 4 Ezra − Roman iconography − Jewish-Roman relations − Mother Zion − apocalyptic discourse − First Jewish Revolt 1 I would like to thank Steven Friesen and L. Michael White for their helpful feedback and insightful suggestions on earlier versions of this study. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2018 | doi:10.1163/15700631-12494235Downloaded from Brill.com10/06/2021 11:31:49PM via free access Iudaea Capta vs.

HOWARD, III JANUARY 2011 ABSTRACT A Leadership Strategy for Managing Heterogeneous Outreach at the Edge Christian Worship Center in Minnesota Roscoe J Howard, III Doctor of Ministry School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary 2011 This projects’ purpose is to develop a leadership strategy for the Edge Christian Worship Center, a Seventh-day Adventist Church in Minnesota, to understand, manage, and appreciate the complexity of human diversity. Equipping the pastor, leaders, and the local congregation with the knowledge, tools, and skills of human diversity management through training will help transition the church from a culture of a homogeneous missional approach to a new heterogeneous ministry outreach for the twenty-first century. The first phase of this project argues that race-based local congregations do not have to continue as the norm in a rapidly changing multicultural society. Strong biblical evidence for a more inclusive mission model is established.

Repar-Forum.doc The Re-parenting of Seventh-day Adventists? Reflections on the Historical Development, Substance, and Potential of Ellen White Studies Abstract Christianity has many “fathers” (often described as living before or after the historic Council of Nicea that convened 325 AD) and a “mother,” Mary, who remains a focus of vigorous controversy. As a branch of Christianity, Sabbatarian Adventism acknowledges three co-founders: Joseph Bates (1792-1872), James White (1821-1881), and Ellen Gould White (1827-1915). During 1919, Adventist leaders who had shared direct, sustained experiences with Ellen White, knowing first-hand how she did her work, expressed their insights and convictions about the significance and use of her writings clearly and constructively.

Consequently, Pannenberg adopts a neoclassical perspective that determines the broad profile of his metaphysical position. Within neoclas- sicism, Pannenberg's position represents an alternative to Whitehead's atom- istic version of process philosophy (chap. 6).Pannenberg's idea of God as the Absolute-Infinite seems to allow for some kind of pantheism (p. 36) which is possible within the metaphysical horizon he develops in close dialogue with Plotinus (Being and Time), Hegel (Infinite Absolute), Dilthey (lustoricity of human experience), and Schleiermacher (structure and role of religious expe- rience). Metaphysics and the Idea of God represents a clear effort towards a technical clarification of the philosophical ideas that stand at the foundation of Pannenberg's theological project and may be considered helpful to clear "the ground sufficiently" for his "three-volume Systematic Theology" (p.
