Reflections Of Nephi's Vision In His Psalm, John A. Tvedtnes
Reflections Of Nephi's Vision In His Psalm, John A. Tvedtnes
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Second Nephi 4:16-35 comprises a beautiful psalm written by Nephi. Portions of the psalm suggest that he was contemplating his earlier vision of the tree of life and the future of his people, recorded in 1 Nephi 11-14. Among the elements common to both the psalm and the vision are the appearance of angels in visions, mention of the condescension of God, temptations, the devil (" evil one") and hell, and the straight path.
Three Reasons To Praise The Creator From Psalm 8: A Biblical Theology With Attention To Intertextuality, Donald Mcintyre
Three Reasons To Praise The Creator From Psalm 8: A Biblical Theology With Attention To Intertextuality, Donald Mcintyre
Eleutheria: John W. Rawlings School of Divinity Academic Journal
Psalm 8 serves as the first creation hymn of the Psalter, and as such is worthy of an exegetical and theological analysis. This analysis will begin with an exegesis of the text, since exegesis rightfully precedes theologizing.[1] The exegesis will include a translation, examination of the historical and literary contexts, the genre classification, structure, and discussion of the literary features with special attention given to parallelism and conclude with a brief exposition. After the requisite exegetical analysis has been completed, a theological synthesis will be commenced progressing from the psalms location in its microstructural setting to its use in …
“This Is How We Do It”: A Descriptive Analysis Of The Musical Elements And The Black Church Cultural Influences In Adolphus Hailstork’S I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes: A Cantata For Tenor, Choir, And Chamber Orchestra, Alfonzo Cooper Jr
Glenn Korff School of Music: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Creative Work, and Performance
This document analyzes Adolphus Hailstork’s cantata, I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes, featuring text from Psalms 121, 13, and 23. The author contends that Hailstork uses cultural musical elements of the Black Church throughout the entire composition. Beginning with a brief biography of the composer, the author then provides a movement-by-movement examination of salient musical features and Black Church cultural traditions Hailstork employs to highlight the text of his selected psalms.

Inviting The Text To Direct The Service, Joan Devries
Inviting The Text To Direct The Service, Joan Devries
Symposium on Worship Archive
Biblical text is central to Christian worship gatherings. Generally, the most significant piece of scripture is the focus of the sermon or the message, and worship planners are happy when they can match that theme in other parts of the worship gathering. What if, however, we invited the text with its various parts and movements to shape the whole of our service more concretely rather than have it be packaged as the teaching contained in a sermon? What if we adopted the movements within a psalm as the separate movements of our worship gathering and we enacted the psalm together? …

"You Alone Are God" A Canonical Reading Of Psalm 86., Elizabeth Kao Holmlund
"You Alone Are God" A Canonical Reading Of Psalm 86., Elizabeth Kao Holmlund
CTS Master of Theology (ThM) Theses
Canonical readings of the biblical psalms have become increasingly popular of late and represent a positive trend away from fragmentation of the Psalter into its "original" and component parts and towards greater recognition of the value of the Psalter's final form and its theology. However, the methods and parameters of a canonical approach to the psalms require further definition. An exegetical methodology incorporating a wide variety of methodological tools alongside a canonical approach was thus proposed and subsequently tested on Psalm 86. The unique features of Psalm 86—its attribution to David (in a book of the Psalter with no other …

The Laments Of Integrity An Investigation Of Psalms 17, 101, And 26, Robert Gebel
The Laments Of Integrity An Investigation Of Psalms 17, 101, And 26, Robert Gebel
Master of Sacred Theology Seminar Papers
Each Psalm states a basis for the Psalmist's appeal of integrity, i.e., a reason why he should have some sort of standing before Yahweh. Each appeal is constructed around one word that summarizes the appeal. Psalm 17 bases its appeal on righteousness, or that which Yahweh requires to be acceptable to him. Psalm101 is a song to integrity, or blamelessness, the lack of any transgression or impurity. In Psalm 26, the Psalmist addresses Yahweh the Judge and challenges him to find a verdict of innocence, or no basis for any charges of wrongdoing against him. These three appeals (righteousness, integrity, …
A Conductor's Study Of George Rochberg's Three Psalm Settings, David Lawrence
A Conductor's Study Of George Rochberg's Three Psalm Settings, David Lawrence
LSU Major Papers
Contemporary choral music in general and George Rochberg’s in particular present challenges to the conductor well beyond the traditional repertoire including complex harmonies and rhythms, tone clusters, sprechstimme, and unconventional notation. In addition, the conductor must alter usual score preparation techniques and acquire a more detailed knowledge about differences in twentieth century music. He/she must learn the techniques of contemporary music through study in theory and analysis. The conductor can also take advantage of many available books and journals that offer insight into the study, rehearsal, and performance of this music. As the conductor acquires the necessary skill in twentieth …
The Enemies Of God's People-A Comparison Of Pauline And Jewish Exegesis, Charles Schulz
The Enemies Of God's People-A Comparison Of Pauline And Jewish Exegesis, Charles Schulz
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
In light of the current re-evaluation of points of identity and divergence between Pauline Christianity and Judaism, this thesis presents a study of how each religion applied a single motif from the Psalter: the enemies of God's people. We start from the obvious common ground, the Old Testament shared by both Paul and the Jew as their sacred text. The work focuses on the unique opportunity afforded by the text of Romans 3:9-20, where Paul cites the Old Testament depiction of the wicked enemies. Next, we survey how apocalyptic and rabbinic Judaism developed and employed the enemy theme. Our conclusion …

A Comparative Study Of The Psalter In Light Of Qumran Cave Eleven Psalter Scroll A, Martin Homan
A Comparative Study Of The Psalter In Light Of Qumran Cave Eleven Psalter Scroll A, Martin Homan
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The major thesis of this paper is that llQPs is better understood not as a Psalter but as a liturgical psalmbook, a collection of psalms, used by the Dead Sea community. This scroll's text does not support the theory of Frank M. Cross, Jr. on local text types, but the text does have importance for textual criticism of the Old Testament. llQPs supports an understanding of an earlier development of the canon of the Old Testament. This thesis will be developed in the subsequent chapters.
Old Testament Quotations In John's Gospel, Roger Humann
Old Testament Quotations In John's Gospel, Roger Humann
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The study of these quotations can serve us in several ways. It can increase our appreciation and understanding of the Old Testament as we observe the way in which the various New Testament writers understood and applied the Old Testament texts to the situation of the New. Furthermore, the theological intent of a New Testament writer may be highlighted by the manner in which he quotes the Old. Answers to questions relating to the purpose, structure, background, and historicity of a New Testament Gospel, for instance, may be informed by a study of the evangelist's use of the Old Testament.
The Role Of Psalm 89:6-19 In Israel's Cult, Ronald Vahl
The Role Of Psalm 89:6-19 In Israel's Cult, Ronald Vahl
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
The specific problem addressed by this study is, "What is the role of Psalm 89:6-19 in the corporate worship life of ancient Israel?” Throughout our research we will use the word "cult" to signify Israel’s corporate religious worship and ritual. This will provide a way of more sharply focusing our investigation.
Four additional questions are immediately raised by our initial query. Is it profitable to study Ps. 89:6-19 as an individual unit apart from the entire Psalm? Since the time of John Calvin many scholars have noted a special thematic nuance in verses 6-19 which stands apart from the remainder …
The Passion Predictions In The Light Of Hebrews 2:5-9, E Clark Copeland
The Passion Predictions In The Light Of Hebrews 2:5-9, E Clark Copeland
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
There has, however, not been a serious tracing of the passage in Heb. 2:5-9 to Jesus' use of Son of Man in the predictions of His suffering. Nor, has there been a biblical theological development of the Son of Man concept from Psalm 8 through Psalm 80, Daniel 7, the teaching of Jesus, and on to its use in Hebrews. The present study would undertake this task in order to relate the findings to the “world to come" over which Jesus is enthroned, according toe. 2:5.
The view of Scripture guiding this study is that of the Reformers; namely, that …
Religious Music Among The Jews, Walter E. Buszin
Religious Music Among The Jews, Walter E. Buszin
Concordia Theological Monthly
"Where were you ... when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" With these words God challenged Job, who is referred to at times as the patron saint of musicians. God's words to Job serve to remind the Old Testament reader that already earlier, in prehistoric times, worship and song had been used together to glorify and extol the Creator. Ancient peoples, including Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and a veritable host of early generations of mankind, recognized that the primary function of music is to honor and worship the Deity. Africans, Asiatics, Mongolians, Europeans, …
A Student Of The Old Testament Proclaims Jesus As Messiah And Lord, Erwin Brese
A Student Of The Old Testament Proclaims Jesus As Messiah And Lord, Erwin Brese
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
This paper proposes to examine the stance of Peter both in his position toward the Old Testament which he quotes and toward the people before him on Pentecost. It is the contention of this writer that Peter was a man with "both feet in the world." Moreover, Peter's world consisted of two separate but often merging spheres of life. There is the orb of the past, full of history and tradition, but there is also the sphere of a living present with its dynamic reality in the living Christ and His Spirit.
Suggested Criteria For Determining The Antiquity Of The Ancient Poems In The Old Testament, John Miller
Suggested Criteria For Determining The Antiquity Of The Ancient Poems In The Old Testament, John Miller
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
Within the Old Testament there is a group of poems which a majority of scholars believe is quite old. In most of the books and articles which have been written on these poems, the songs are designated "ancient" or "archaic" in a rather arbitrary manner. It is the contention of this thesis that the archaic poetry is different from later poetic writing with respect to style, form, and language, and that it is possible to isolate the distinguishing characteristics of ancient poetry and, using them, to form criteria and establish a balance of probability as to the antiquity of a …
