Behold The Beasts Beside You: The Adaptation And Alteration Of Animals In Lxx-Job, James Wykes
Behold The Beasts Beside You: The Adaptation And Alteration Of Animals In Lxx-Job, James Wykes
Dissertations (1934 -)
“Behold the beasts beside you; they eat grass like cattle” (LXX-Job 40:15). The first translator for the book of Job into Greek was faced with a difficult text, replete with archaisms, corruptions, and convoluted Hebrew. He produced a distinctive – and often misunderstood – translation. Though its central characteristic is one of omission, its general approach to the text has proven hard to categorize. This study continues this trend by following one feature of Job that a casual reader cannot overlook: the book of Job’s zoological panoply. The LXX-translator handles these creatures in a variety of ways, often contextually-sensitive and …
Where Is Wisdom? Privileging Perspectives In The Book Of Job, Israel Mcgrew

Dissertations (1934 -)
Job is one of the most difficult books in Hebrew Scripture: in language, poetic rhetoric, subject matter, and literary form.

The whirlwind rebukes Job, Job seems to repent, and the epilogue indicates that God in fact does …
The Noetic Paschal Anthropos: Genesis 1:27 And The Theology Of The Divine Image In Early Paschal Literature, Dragos Andrei Giulea
The Noetic Paschal Anthropos: Genesis 1:27 And The Theology Of The Divine Image In Early Paschal Literature, Dragos Andrei Giulea
Dissertations (1934 -)
This study examines the theme of the heavenly Anthropos in the earliest extant paschal writings: Melito's Peri Pascha, Origen's Peri Pascha, and Pseudo-Hippolytus's In sanctum Pascha. Instead of analyzing these materials through the prism of such classical images as sacrifice and divine Lamb, the study investigates them through the perspective of the categories of heavenly Man and divine Image. The particular method of the study will be tradition criticism and will envision the paschal tradition of the heavenly luminous Anthropos as a development of the theophanic traditions of the Jewish Second Temple. Echoing such ancient passages as Genesis 1:27, Ezekiel …
