In The Bosom Of Abraham: The Name And Role Of Poor Lazarus In Luke 16:19-31, Keith L. Yoder
In The Bosom Of Abraham: The Name And Role Of Poor Lazarus In Luke 16:19-31, Keith L. Yoder
Keith L. Yoder
This is a pre-peer-review revision of the paper I presented at the March 2018 Annual Meeting of the Eastern Great Lakes Biblical Society (SBL) in Akron, Ohio, which has been submitted for publication.
Here I examine the name and role of the poor man in the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31. Evidence developed from an intertextual reading of the parable through the lens of Septuagint Genesis and Job reveals the character of Lazarus to be a seamless weave of suffering Job and Eliezer the Servant of rich man Abraham. The nexus in Genesis 22-24 of …

Conceptual And Metrical Evidence For The Personification Of Wisdom In James 1 And 3, Keith L. Yoder, Samuel Zinner
Conceptual And Metrical Evidence For The Personification Of Wisdom In James 1 And 3, Keith L. Yoder, Samuel Zinner
Keith L. Yoder
Both James 1:14-15’s Desire (Epithymia) and 1:18’s Truth (Alētheia) are personified maternal entities inspired respectively by Proverbs’ Lady Folly and Lady Wisdom. That James 1’s Desire and Truth are anticipations of James 3:15’s demonic Wisdom and 3:17’s Wisdom from above is arguably indicated by a similar distinctive meter shared by 1:15 and 3:15, 17. James 3.15-17 is also immediately preceded at v. 14’s conclusion by a mention of alētheia, which links the text back to 1:18, the epistle’s only previous occurrence of alētheia. The paper also suggests that James 1:14ff. and 1:25 are engaged …

This Excel table provides a convenient tool for searching for acronyms (horizontal acrostics) in the Tanakh. It contains a verse-by-verse compilation of orthographic word counts, consonantal letter counts, first letters of each Hebrew word in traditional right-to-left sequence, and last letters of each Hebrew word in left-to-right sequence. Each verse-record is tagged by book name and chapter/verse reference, and each column-field may be searched and manipulated with Excel Auto-Filter. The characters in the Hebrew letter fields are separated by spaces, and searches may be done using Hebrew Unicode consonants. For example, a search for a Tetragrammaton acronym may be done …

This is the third of three Excel tables which have been prepared to support my experiment at the end of the essay by Samuel Zinner, "Psalm 119’s Eight Key Torah Terms’ Hidden Gender-Based Distribution Patterns". As explained below, this file contains a VBA module with the code used to generate the random trials used in this experiment. Many computers may throw up a security alert to prevent downloading and/or opening of this file, so the VBA code in that module is also posted on this page at https://works.bepress.com/klyoder/41/.
