God Is His Own Interpreter, And He Will Make It Plain, Barry Fike
God Is His Own Interpreter, And He Will Make It Plain, Barry Fike
Barry D. Fike
Religion, in its mystical, emotional or practical expression is, to me at any rate, of little value if divorced from intellectual integrity. I think that the reason “many believers” are so repulsive is that they don’t really have faith but a kind of false security. They operate by the slide rule, and the Church for them is not the body of Christ but the poor man’s insurance system. It’s never hard for them to believe because actually they never think about it. Unfortunately the reality is simply that it is not easy to get vast masses of men to think …

From Clay Tablets To Canon: The Story Of The Formation Of Scripture, Kerry Muhlestein
From Clay Tablets To Canon: The Story Of The Formation Of Scripture, Kerry Muhlestein
Kerry Muhlestein
Presented at the 35th Sperry Symposium. The Sidney B. Sperry Symposium is sponsored by Brigham Young University Religious Education and the Church Educational System. It is difficult for us, in the age of information, to appreciate the impact of both the sweeping movements and technical advances that allowed for the creation of the canonized book we call the Bible. We live in a time when we regularly turn to written documents for the "final word", and we take for granted an astounding volume of written works and easy access to them. Indeed, it has been argued that U.S. culture has …
The Dao Of Qoheleth: An Intertextual Reading Of The Daode Jing And The Book Of Ecclesiastes, R. Heard
The Dao Of Qoheleth: An Intertextual Reading Of The Daode Jing And The Book Of Ecclesiastes, R. Heard
Chris Heard
Of all the world's literary works which may appropriately be labeled religious classics, the Hebrew scriptures and the Daode Jing stand out as two of the most popular across cultural and linguistic boundaries. One might suppose that the cross-cultural popularity of these classics would have brought them into frequent contact with one another. However, not much seems to have been done to relate the Bible to the Daode Jing in a constructive way. In this article, I seek to begin redressing this lack of conversation by offering a reading of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes using the Daode Jing as …
What Does The Mob Want Lot To Do In Genesis 19:9?, R. Christopher Heard
What Does The Mob Want Lot To Do In Genesis 19:9?, R. Christopher Heard
Chris Heard
Most English Bible translations render [Hebrew text A-B] in Gen 19:9 with some variant of “Stand back!” However, a very few interpreters recommend a translation along the lines of “Come closer!” more in keeping with the typical gloss on [Hebrew text A]. A detailed study of the syntax and semantics of both [Hebrew text A] and [Hebrew text B], as well as constructions similar to [Hebrew text A-B] demonstrates the strength of the minority suggestion.
Book Review: The Rivers Of Paradise: Moses, Buddha, Confucius, Jesus, And Muhammad As Religious Founders, David Freedman, Michael Mcclymond, Deborah Sommer
Book Review: The Rivers Of Paradise: Moses, Buddha, Confucius, Jesus, And Muhammad As Religious Founders, David Freedman, Michael Mcclymond, Deborah Sommer
Deborah A. Sommer
In his introduction to Rivers of Paradise, David Noel Freedman explains how the book finds a guiding metaphor in a passage from Genesis (2:10–14) that relates how a river emerges from Eden and splits into four different rivers that flow to different parts of the world. He associates these five rivers with five “great personality religions of the world,” which are traditions “originating in and centering around the person, the life and experience, of a single individual—as it happens all of them men” (p. 2). These “founding fathers” are Moses, the Buddha, Confucius, Jesus, and Muhammad, in that order; …

Russian Orthodoxy And The Challenge Of Modernity: The Case Of Archimandrite Makary, Paul Valliere

Particular attention is given to Makary's role in the struggle for a Russian-language Bible.

A Rebellious Son? Hugo Odeberg And The Interpretation Of John 5.18, James F. Mcgrath
A Rebellious Son? Hugo Odeberg And The Interpretation Of John 5.18, James F. Mcgrath
James F. McGrath
A solution to the difficult question of how to interpret John 5.18 appeared to have been provided with the publication of Hugo Odeberg's monumental work, The Fourth Gospel, published in 1929. Odeberg cited a rabbinic expression which characterized a rebellious son as one who 'makes himself equal with his father, and thus suggested that 'the Jews' are here making a similar accusation: they regard Jesus as rebelling against the divine authority. Subsequent scholarship for a long time cited Odeberg as a definitive demonstration of the background and meaning of John 5.18, and thus of the entire passage.
Going Up And Coming Down In Johannine Legitimation, James F. Mcgrath
Going Up And Coming Down In Johannine Legitimation, James F. Mcgrath
James F. McGrath
In his study of Johannine christology Wayne Meeks stressed the importance of understanding the ascent·descent schema in any attempt to understand this christology or explain its origin. The work of sociologists Berger and Luckmann on legitimation has the potential to shed light on an ear her stage in this development. Key passages in John show that ascent-descent language is linked to the motifs of the Son of man and wisdom, and suggest that John has developed these two traditional aspects of christology in response to objections and conflict over Jesus' qualifications to be the revealer, and his relationship to God …
“Landscapes Of Seduction: Terry Tempest Williams’S Desert Quartet And The Biblical Song Of Songs”, Boyd J. Petersen
“Landscapes Of Seduction: Terry Tempest Williams’S Desert Quartet And The Biblical Song Of Songs”, Boyd J. Petersen
Boyd J Petersen
Like the Song of Songs, Terry Tempest Williams's Desert Quartet submerges its reader in a highly erotic landscape. And both use that landscape—a garden in the Song and a desert in Desert Quartet—to create eros in the text. Yet while the Song of Songs uses metaphor to transform the body of the beloved into a garden of delights, Desert Quartet uses personification to transform the desert landscape into a passionate lover. In the Song of Songs, the body becomes the landscape where seduction takes place; in Desert Quartet, the landscape becomes the body which seduces. Both works also invite allegorical …
