0.1 Abbreviations Used in the Bibliographical Listings The academic field of biblical studies employs a number of standard abbrevia- tions when listing bibliographical references. The following abbreviations are used throughout the files on this website. Most of the references are to series in which books are published. As an example, take the following bibliographical reference: Köstenberger, Andreas J. John. BECNT. Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2004. The abbreviation BECNT indicates that this book is published in the Baker Ex- egetical Commentary on the New Testament series. Some of the series titles are in German, but this does not mean that all of the individual books published in that series are in German. All bibliographic works listed in these files are in English.

(Luke 11:28). • The Word became flesh and lived among us (John 1:14). • Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Eph. 6:17). • The word of God is not chained (2 Tim. 2:9). • The word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Heb. 4:12). • By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God (Heb. 11:3). • Be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves (James 1:22). • You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God (1 Pet. 1:23). • The word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one (1 John 2:14).

Hymns, music, singing have long been central to our lives as Christians. Music is a foundation of worship life in Lutheran congregations. It is the ground of faith in Sunday Schools and Vacation Bible Schools. It extends to life in Lutheran homes, not just at Christmas. Lutherans adorn even their potluck dinners with song. Singing the Songs of Faith: 52 Great Hymn Stanzas is an undertaking intended to teach, lift up and deepen the faith of God’s people. It follows 52 Great Bible Verses – a yearlong effort encouraging weekly memorization of significant Bible verses. For many the exercise was more than mere rote learning. The verses also served as the basis for reflection and meditation throughout the week. They were frequently the focus of discussion and devotion for gatherings of the congregation and committee meetings. Singing the Songs
  • Rethinking the Western Non-Interpolations: a Case for Luke Re-Editing His Gospel

    Rethinking the Western Non-Interpolations: a Case for Luke Re-Editing His Gospel

    Rethinking the Western Non-interpolations: A Case For Luke Re-editing His Gospel by Giuseppe Capuana BA (Mus), GradDipEd, BTheol (Hons) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy University of Divinity 2018 Abstract This thesis presents a new paradigm for understanding the Western non-interpolations. It argues that when Luke originally wrote his Gospel it did not contain 22:19b–20; 24:3b, 6a, 12, 36b, 40, 51b and 52a. However, at a later time, around the time Luke wrote Acts, he returned to his Gospel creating a second edition which contained these readings. My thesis makes the case that the paradigm of scribal interpolation is problematic. Working under this paradigm the results of external and internal evidence appear conflicting and scholars are generally forced to give greater preference to one set of evidence over the other. However, a balanced weighting of the external and internal evidence points us towards the notion that Luke was responsible for both the absence and the inclusion of 22:19b–20; 24:3b, 6a, 12, 36b, 40, 51b and 52a. Chapter one introduces the Western non-interpolations. It also makes the case that the quest for the original text of Luke’s Gospel should not be abandoned. Chapter two is on the history, theory and methodology of the Western non-interpolations. It begins with an overview of the text-critical scholarship emerging during the nineteenth century, particularly the influence of Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort. It also covers the period after Westcott and Hort to the present.

    THE MUTILATION OF MARK 16:9-20 – FLOYD NOLEN JONES, Th.D., Ph.D. 9Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 10And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. 12After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. 13And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them. 14Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.

    Open Theology 2019; 5: 107–115 Digital Humanities in Biblical Studies and Theology Dan Batovici* Digital Palimpsests: Mark in Trinity College Cambridge MS. O.9.27 https://doi.org/10.1515/opth-2019-0008 Received April 14, 2019; accepted May 20, 2019 Abstract: The O.9.27 manuscript of Trinity College Cambridge is a minuscule manuscript of Hesiod’s Opera et Dies. In a 2001 PhD thesis on Greek palimpsests in Cambridge by Natalie Tchernetska, this manuscript is described to contain two distinct lower scripts, one of which identified as a New Testament text. The author read four lines and a partial fifth of the one-leaf palimpsest that contain Mark 1:44, which is remarkable considering that the washing made the lower script virtually the same colour as the page. This note re-examines the Markan lower script in O.9.27 and offers an account of the use of image processing software for the purpose to uncover more text in a difficult palimpsest, a method useful when MSI is not available. Keywords: Palimpsest; Gospel of Mark; lectionary 1 Introduction: a difficult palimpsest Trinity College Cambridge MS. O.9.27 is a Greek minuscule codex with Hesiod’s Opera et Dies 1–760.1 It was donated to Trinity College by Roger Gale in 1738.2 In the bottom margin of folio 1r there is a note ascribing the codex as having belonged to the famous collection of Cardinal Domenico Grimani (1461–1523).3 In a PhD thesis focused on the Greek palimpsests hosted in various libraries in Cambridge, Natalie Tchernetska included the presentation of two distinct lower scripts in Trinity College Cambridge MS.
