The Steward Of God: Exploring The Role And Function Of Elders, Jeremy M. Kimble Aug 2015

The Steward Of God: Exploring The Role And Function Of Elders, Jeremy M. Kimble

Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Publications

A variety of titles and images are used in the Scriptures to describe those who commit their lives to serve in pastoral ministry. Those who are called to such a vocation are described as shepherds or pastors (Eph 4:11), elders (1 Pet 5:1–5), and overseers (1 Tim 3:1), which are all terms replete with meaning and significance. Through these various titles we receive a more full-orbed understanding of what the role and function of a minister truly is. This is due to the fact that words like shepherd and overseer can function as metaphors, describing the realities of pastoral ministry. …

Does Your Bible Beep?, Jeremy M. Kimble Feb 2015

Does Your Bible Beep?, Jeremy M. Kimble

Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Publications

Recently I attended a chapel service where the preacher, instead of asking the audience to open their Bibles, told them to turn to a certain passage of Scripture in their mobile devices. Inherent in this statement is the assumption that people today are more prone to leave behind leather-bound versions of Scripture and instead opt for YouVersion or a Bible app on their phone or tablet. While this assumption may become increasingly prevalent, pastors and church members alike should be asking themselves whether or not they lose anything by only reading the Bible on their mobile devices. My contention is …


Hebrew Exegesis Worksheets, Michael B. Shepherd Jan 2015

Hebrew Exegesis Worksheets, Michael B. Shepherd

Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Publications

It is normally not enough for students to prepare translations of passages for biblical Hebrew exegesis courses. This does not necessarily give them a sense of what kinds of questions they should be asking of the text. After all, exegesis is about knowing what game is being played and how to play it. To some degree the in-class discussion of the text will provide this guidance, but a resource that helps students to ask the right questions on their own will make them more independent and better prepared to interact. Exegetical worksheets give students a model to follow and a …
