The Speech Act Of Naming In Context: A Linguistic Study Of Naming In The Old Testament, Lauren Yost
The Speech Act Of Naming In Context: A Linguistic Study Of Naming In The Old Testament, Lauren Yost
Channels: Where Disciplines Meet
This research sought to study the act of naming in the context of the Old Testament using speech act theory. To analyze naming as presented in the Old Testament, I first studied the Hebrew words qārāʾ and šēm, creating from my findings the following extended definition: (naming is) the act of giving a name within particular specified circumstances by one with authority over the name-receiver, whose authority is respected by others such that the name spoken is hence used to identify and represent the receiver. This, along with an understanding of Alston (2000) and the example of Arcadi (2013), …
A Commentary On The Book Of The Twelve: The Minor Prophets, Michael B. Shepherd
A Commentary On The Book Of The Twelve: The Minor Prophets, Michael B. Shepherd
Faculty Books
The books of the twelve Minor Prophets are some of the least studied by Christians today, but they contain some of the great themes of Scripture, such as God's mercy and judgment, His covenant with Israel, the day of the Lord, and the coming of the Messiah. Arguing for a canonical unity that recognizes the Minor Prophets as one cohesive composition, Michael Shepherd explains the historical meaning of each verse of the twelve books and also provides guidance for application and preaching. Pastors, teachers, and serious students of Scripture will find a wealth of insights for understanding the Minor Prophets.

Jesus Is Our Jubilee... But How? The Ot Background And Lukan Fulfillment Of The Ethics Of Jubilee, Christopher R. Bruno
Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Publications
In the contemporary Christian church, one does not need to look far to find references to the biblical Jubilee. On the campus of Wheaton College, the World Christian Fellowship sponsors a yearly Jubilee week, in which students are challenged to think globally about the world Christian movement. A branch of a local charitable organization is called the “Jubilee Furniture Company.” This group raises funds for Christian outreach through the re-sale of furniture and supplies needy families with home furnishings. An internet search will lead one to the Jubilee Christian Church, the Jubilee Christian Academy, and even the Jubilee Water Park …
