Eleazar/Eliezer Summary Chart (From Tal Ilan, Lexicon Of Jewish Names In Late Antiquity), Keith L. Yoder

Keith L. Yoder

This chart summarizes the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin variants of names Eleazar/Eliezer as they appear in Tal Ilan's Lexicon of Jewish Names in Late Antiquity: The western diaspora 330 BCE - 650 CE (Mohr-Siebeck, Tübingen, 2002) 65-79. The data here are in support of the paper Abraham and Eliezer: The Name and Role of Poor Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31, which I will present at the Eastern Great Lakes Biblical Society (SBL) Annual Meeting on March 15-16, 2018 in Akron, Ohio.

Revisiting The Mandaeans And The New Testament, James F. Mcgrath Apr 2016

Revisiting The Mandaeans And The New Testament, James F. Mcgrath

James F. McGrath

The Mandaeans have been known to scholars for as long as there has been modern scholarship. Thanks to advances in technology, you can now find some of their ancient texts online, and videos of their baptismal rituals on YouTube. Yet as fascinating as the Mandaeans are, and as much as modern technologies can facilitate greater familiarity with them, the amount of attention that they receive is surprisingly sparse – although there are encouraging signs that that is at least beginning to change.

Ιακωβου Επιστολη B - The Letter Of James, Chapter Two, Keith L. Yoder Dec 2013

Ιακωβου Επιστολη B - The Letter Of James, Chapter Two, Keith L. Yoder

Keith L. Yoder

This is my interpretive reading of the Hellenistic Greek text of the second chapter of the New Testament Letter of James. As before, I use the pronunciation system of Phonemic Koine Greek advocated by Randall Buth and others. The Letter of James is the most aurally poetic work in the New Testament. My aim in this video is to make that poetry of sound evident to the listener. I am solely responsible for any errors in pronunciation. The spoken text exactly follows the displayed text, which is from the public domain 1904 Nestle edition. The file received by clicking the …


Romans 1:18-2:29: A Stylometric Reconsideration, Keith L. Yoder Dec 2012

Romans 1:18-2:29: A Stylometric Reconsideration, Keith L. Yoder

Keith L. Yoder

Here I use the tools of multivariate data analysis to reconsider the proposal that Romans 1:18-2:29 was not originally composed by Paul. I examine the distributions of the 35 most frequent words in the New Testament epistolary Greek text, using Correspondence Analysis, Cluster Analysis, and Linear Discriminant Analysis. These tests jointly reveal a distinct statistical demarcation between Romans 1:18-29 and the undisputed Pauline letters, as well as differentiation between the undisputed Paulines and all the other letters of the New Testament. Data analysis thus supports the proposal that Romans 1:18-2:29 is a non-Pauline text.

I Am The Light Of The World: An “I Am” Statement Of Jesus, David C. Taylor Jr Dec 2012

I Am The Light Of The World: An “I Am” Statement Of Jesus, David C. Taylor Jr

David C Taylor Jr

The Gospel of John contains eight “I AM” statements of Jesus. “I AM” is the term God first used of Himself when speaking to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). By using this statement, Jesus was aligning Himself with God. One specific use of the statement in John comes in chapter 8 verse 12. Jesus states that He is the light of the world. His claim showed and declared that He has come to take away darkness from the world and give them the light of life. The statement showed His power, and His Deity and His relationship with …


The Signs And Miracles Of Jesus In John’S Gospel, David C. Taylor Jr Nov 2012

The Signs And Miracles Of Jesus In John’S Gospel, David C. Taylor Jr

David C Taylor Jr

The Gospel of John is also known as the “Miraculous Gospel” or the “Gospel of Signs.” In his book, John records 8 signs that prove the Deity of Christ. Jesus came to display His Deity to the world. Though the other Gospels record many other miracles, the eight that will be explored here are specific to proving that Christ is the Messiah.


Jesus Christ As Poetic Symbol: Wilhelm Bousset’S Contribution To The Faith-History Debate, Brent A. R. Hege Jun 2010

Jesus Christ As Poetic Symbol: Wilhelm Bousset’S Contribution To The Faith-History Debate, Brent A. R. Hege

Brent A. R. Hege

Wilhelm Bousset, a leading member of the religionsgeschichtliche school and author of a seminal work on early Christology, Kyrios Christos, is typically regarded by reviewers of his work as a classic nineteenth-century liberal who sought a secure foundation for faith in the historical Jesus. However, this view of Bousset fails to appreciate the significant development of his theological perspective on the relationship between faith and history, a perspective that underwent a profound shift due to the influence of the English historian Thomas Carlyle and the Kantian philosopher Jakob Friedrich Fries. It is the influence of these two figures that enables …
