Abstract The City on a Hill: A Tradition-Historical Study of the Wealth of Nations Tradition By Michael J. Chan Scholars doing tradition-historical work tend to view texts as the primary repositories of tradition. The unfortunate consequence of this modus operandi is that art-historical sources are typically overlooked in tradition-historical studies. Given the historic divide in academia between scholars of literature and scholars of art, the limiting of tradition to verbal media by biblical scholars is unsurprising. Recent efforts to integrate these two disparate fields, however, have cleared a methodlogical space in which one can reevaluate whether ―tradition‖ is better understood as something other than just a verbal phenomenon. I suggest tradition is more fruitfully understood as a multi-medial category. Texts, in other words, are not the sole proprietors of tradition. In order to demonstrate the viability of this proposed revision to tradition history, this dissertation undertakes a tradition historical study of, what I call, the Wealth of Nations Tradition (WNT). The WNT is a trinodal constellation, in which (1) foreign nations bring their (2) wealth to a (3) royal figure as an act of homage, honor, and submission. This tradition occurs in the following texts: 1 Kgs 10:1-10, 13, 15//2 Chr 9:1-9, 12, 14; 1 Kgs 10:23-25//2 Chr 9:22- 24; Pss 68:19, 30-32; 72:10-11; 76:12; 96:7-8//1 Chr 16:28-29; Isa 18:7; 45:14; 60:4-17; 61:5-6; 66:12; Zeph 3:10; 2 Chr 32:23. Each text is studied from the perspective of its compositional history, contents, genre, and social setting. These data are then silhouetted against the broader background of the visual and literary record of the WNT in the ancient Near East. In the final chapter, a synthetic ―biography‖ of the biblical WNT is sketched. Significant continuities and differences are highlighted, as is the tradition‘s development over time. The City on a Hill: A Tradition-Historical Study of the Wealth of Nations Tradition By Michael J. Chan M.A. Biblical Studies, Luther Seminary, 2008 B.A., Pacific Lutheran University, 2005 Advisor: Brent A. Strawn, Ph.D. A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies of Emory University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religion, 2013. Acknowledgements In a now-famous letter, Mark Twain wrote, ―It takes a thousand men to invent a telegraph, or a steam engine, or a phonograph, or a telephone or any other important thing—and the last man gets the credit and we forget the others.‖1 For the doctoral student, these words have a special meaning. Advisors, family members, friends, and other loyal companions all contribute in their own way to the creation of dissertations. Two scholars deserve particular praise for their contributions to this project: Dr. Brent A. Strawn and Dr. Martti Nissinen. This dissertation was initially inspired by earlier work done by Dr. Strawn on Isaiah 60 and the Apadana Reliefs at Persepolis.2 With a keen editor‘s eye and profound command of the field, he shepherded this dissertation to its current state. I appreciate both his critical feedback and his mentorship. Although the idea for this dissertation was conceived at Emory University, the bulk of it was written under the watchful eye of Dr. Martti Nissinen (University of Helsinki), who was my gracious host at the University of Helsinki from January 2012-December 2013. The generous grants provided by the University of Helsinki and Emory University allowed me to focus fully on research and writing. The methodological cross-pollization this experience afforded is invaluable and marks this project in many subtle and explicit ways. Other scholars from the University of Helsinki who provided much appreciated help along the way include Anneli Aejmelaeus, Juta Jokiranta, and Juha Pakkala. My other committee members, Drs. Joel M. LeMon and Jacob L. Wright, are also to be thanked, not only for the way they shaped the dissertation but also for their encouragement. Beyond the dissertation project, Dr. Wright has proven to be an invaluable mentor. Ever since I began at Emory, he took it upon himself to encourage me when I needed encouragement and to redirect me when I needed redirection. Some of my most formative experiences at Emory involve co-authoring articles and essays with him. Through these collaborative efforts, Dr. Wright showed me how to wed creativity and scholarly rigor. Finally, I want to thank my wife of 9 years, Katherine Chan, who has been my most important companion throughout graduate school. Day after day, she made our family a haven of grace, strength, and love. 1 Albert Bigelow Paine, ed., Mark Twain‘s Letters (2 vols.; New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1917), 2:731. 2 Brent A.

    Tayinat’s Building XVI: The Religious Dimensions and Significance of a Tripartite Temple at Neo-Assyrian Kunulua by Douglas Neal Petrovich A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto © Copyright by Douglas Neal Petrovich, 2016 Building XVI at Tell Tayinat: The Religious Dimensions and Significance of a Tripartite Temple at Neo-Assyrian Kunulua Douglas N. Petrovich Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto 2016 Abstract After the collapse of the Hittite Empire and most of the power structures in the Levant at the end of the Late Bronze Age, new kingdoms and powerful city-states arose to fill the vacuum over the course of the Iron Age. One new player that surfaced on the regional scene was the Kingdom of Palistin, which was centered at Kunulua, the ancient capital that has been identified positively with the site of Tell Tayinat in the Amuq Valley. The archaeological and epigraphical evidence that has surfaced in recent years has revealed that Palistin was a formidable kingdom, with numerous cities and territories having been enveloped within its orb. Kunulua and its kingdom eventually fell prey to the Neo-Assyrian Empire, which decimated the capital in 738 BC under Tiglath-pileser III. After Kunulua was rebuilt under Neo- Assyrian control, the city served as a provincial capital under Neo-Assyrian administration. Excavations of the 1930s uncovered a palatial district atop the tell, including a temple (Building II) that was adjacent to the main bit hilani palace of the king (Building I).

    Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil ERRATA and FAQ

    Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil ERRATA AND FAQ A collaborative product of the members of Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil web forum. Compiled, edited, and formatted by Siobharek. PDF version edited by ZansForCans. Modified: 11 February 2003 The definitive source for this errata and FAQ can be found in the ‘sticky’ threads at the top of the topic list on Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil web forum. None of these errata or FAQ are official in any way (i.e. Monte or WotC have not said "That's right."), but most have been agreed to be accurate and true to the core rulebooks by many DMs running this adventure. NPC stats corrections are grouped in the appropriate chapter that the NPC appears in. In some cases, there is no ‘fix’ suggested—the errata is simply provided to alert you to a discrepancy. You didn’t think we’d do all the work for you, did you? It may seem like there are quite a lot of errata for this product. There are! Part of the explanation we have heard is that Monte was working on the adventure while D&D 3e was still being finalized. The rest we simply blame on his editors. ;) We welcome further corrections and additions to this list. However, when and if you find something that doesn't seem right, please check in every available rulebook. For instance, adding the right number of feats and stat increases to monsters with classes can be fiendishly hard but check it and double check it as much as you can.

Helen, whose flight to Troy with the Trojan prince Paris had prompted the Greek expedition to seek revenge and reclaim her, is now home in Sparta, living harmoniously once more with her husband Meneláos (Menelaus). His brother Agamémnon, commander in chief of the Greek forces, was murdered on his return from the war by his wife and her paramour. Of the Greek chieftains who have survived both the war and the perilous homeward voyage, all have returned except Odysseus, the crafty and astute ruler of Ithaka (Ithaca), an island in the Ionian Sea off western Greece. Since he is presumed dead, suitors from Ithaka and other regions have overrun his house, paying court to his attractive wife Penélopê, endangering the position of his son, Telémakhos (Telemachus), corrupting many of the servants, and literally eating up Odysseus’ estate. Penélopê has stalled for time but is finding it increasingly difficult to deny the suitors’ demands that she marry one of them; Telémakhos, who is just approaching young manhood, is becom- ing actively resentful of the indignities suffered by his household. Many persons and places in the Odyssey are best known to readers by their Latinized names, such as Telemachus. The present translator has used forms (Telémakhos) closer to the Greek spelling and pronunciation.

    To Bible Study the Septuagint - Its History

    Concoll()ia Theological Monthly APRIL • 1959 Aids to Bible Study The Septuagint - Its History By FREDERICK W. DANKER "GENTLEMEN, have you a Septuagint?" Ferdinand Hitzig, eminent Biblical critic and Hebraist, used to say to his class. "If not, sell all you have, and buy a Septuagint." Current Biblical studies reflect the accuracy of his judgment. This and the next installment are therefore dedicated to the task of helping the Septuagint come alive for Biblical students who may be neglecting its contributions to the total theological picture, for clergymen who have forgotten its interpretive possibilities, and for all who have just begun to see how new things can be brought out of old. THE LETTER OF ARISTEAS The Letter of Aristeas, written to one Philocrates, presents the oldest, as well as most romantic, account of the origin of the Septuagint.1 According to the letter, Aristeas is a person of con­ siderable station in the court of Ptolemy Philadelphus (285-247 B. C.). Ptolemy was sympathetic to the Jews. One day he asked his librarian Demetrius (in the presence of Aristeas, of course) about the progress of the royal library. Demetrius assured the king that more than 200,000 volumes had been catalogued and that he soon hoped to have a half million. He pointed out that there was a gap­ ing lacuna in the legal section and that a copy of the Jewish law would be a welcome addition. But since Hebrew letters were as difficult to read as hieroglyphics, a translation was a desideratum. 1 The letter is printed, together with a detailed introduction, in the Appendix to H.

We’ve been exposed to this famous quotation, I’m sure, thousands of times over the course of our travels. Perhaps we saw it embroidered on a home keepsake somewhere or it was shared with us by a good friend or maybe we heard it in a Willie Nelson song (“There Is No Easy Way (But There Is a Way),” Island in the Sea, 1987). The quote is attributed to the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, and it has certainly withstood the test of time and is just as applicable now as it was in 500 B.C.

The boat was expected to arrive at Cooktown during the night, having last stopped at the newly-established station on Thursday Island. This puts time back a little over twenty years. The passengers' cabins on board the Leichardt opened for the most part off the saloon. Here, several people were assembled, for excitement had been aroused by the fact that the door of Mrs Bedo's cabin was locked, and that she had not been seen since the previous day. Mrs Bedo was the only first-class lady passenger on the Leichardt. Three men stood close to her cabin door. These were Captain Cass, the captain of the Leichardt; the ship's doctor, and Mr Elias Bedo, the lady's husband.

    A CRITICAL EDITION OF THE HEXAPLARIC FRAGMENTS OF JOB 22-42 Introduction As a result of the Rich Seminar on the Hexapla in the summer of 1994 at Oxford, a decision was made to create a new collection and edition of all Hexaplaric fragments.1 Frederick Field was the last scholar to compile all known fragments in the mid to late 19th century,2 but by 1902, Henry Barclay Swete had announced that more hexaplaric materials were ―accumulating.‖3 These new materials need to be included in a new collection of hexaplaric fragments, a collection which is called ―a Field for the 21st century.‖4 With the publication of two-thirds of the critical editions of the Septuagint (LXX) by the Septuaginta-Unternehmen in Göttingen, the fulfillment of a new collection of all known hexaplaric fragments is becoming more feasible.
