To The Jew First: A Socio-Historical And Biblical-Theological Analysis Of The Pauline Teaching Of `Election' In Light Of Second Temple Jewish Patterns Of Thought, Anthony Thornhill Aug 2013

To The Jew First: A Socio-Historical And Biblical-Theological Analysis Of The Pauline Teaching Of `Election' In Light Of Second Temple Jewish Patterns Of Thought, Anthony Thornhill

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Paul's "doctrine" of election has remained a controversial and enigmatic topic for centuries. Few studies, however, have approached Paul's doctrine through the context of Second Temple Judaism. This study examines Paul's view of election through the lens of Second Temple Jewish texts written prior to 70 CE. In doing so, it is argued that the best framework through which to view Paul's discussion of election is through a primarily corporate model of election. While such a model is rooted in Judaism, Paul departs from his Jewish contemporaries in arguing that the locus of election is in God's Messiah, Jesus.


A Comparative Study Of The Apocalyptic Kingdom Of God In Second Temple Jewish Literature And The Teachings Of Jesus In Matthew, Jeremiah Stallman Jul 2013

A Comparative Study Of The Apocalyptic Kingdom Of God In Second Temple Jewish Literature And The Teachings Of Jesus In Matthew, Jeremiah Stallman

Masters Theses

The apocalyptic kingdom of God is a common theme in Second Temple Jewish literature. This kingdom is often presented differently in the various literary works of this era. This first chapter of this thesis considers the various aspects of the kingdom in relation to God's coming judgment and the coming messiah who is often seen as the one bringing judgment and setting up the kingdom of God. The second chapter elaborates upon Jesus' teachings about the apocalyptic kingdom of God and compares and contrasts them with the teachings of the kingdom in His day as understood through the Second Temple …


When Kashrut Is Not "Kosher": The Post Postville Struggle Over Eating, Ethics And American Jewish Identity, Rebecca Z. Hornstein May 2013

When Kashrut Is Not "Kosher": The Post Postville Struggle Over Eating, Ethics And American Jewish Identity, Rebecca Z. Hornstein

Religious Studies Honors Projects

On May 12, 2008, the United States Government conducted a massive immigration raid within the country’s largest kosher meatpacking plant. The raid and ensuing revelation of worker’s rights violations within the plant sparked an intense intra-Jewish debate over the extent to which unethically produced food could be considered kosher. This thesis analyzes the perspectives and actions of the debate’s major participants and argues that the discourse surrounding ethical kashrut in the context of the Postville immigration raid revealed that American Jewish communities have entered into a period of flux. Through this instability, many American Jews are challenging the once …


Deviance Or Making Do: Seder In The Institution, Jordan Mathurin Apr 2013

Deviance Or Making Do: Seder In The Institution, Jordan Mathurin

Academic Symposium of Undergraduate Scholarship

Deviance or Making Do: Seder in the Institution, compares the institution of Jewish religion and the traditions that go along with the holiday of Pesach, Passover, against one impromptu Passover Seder held at a rehab clinic and mental health hospital. It shows how in many ways and to many of the Jewish faith this event could be viewed in such a way that it is labeled as deviant, but in the end how far does it actually stray from the true heart of a Seder?

Bringing Feminism, Halakhah, And Social Status Together: Women's Ordination In American Judaism, Michelle Seares Jan 2013

Bringing Feminism, Halakhah, And Social Status Together: Women's Ordination In American Judaism, Michelle Seares

Senior Scholars Papers in Jewish Studies

The ordination of women as rabbis is seen as one of the most important steps in bringing American Judaism in line with contemporary American values. However, the road to women’s ordination was a long and contentious one that is still being debated in Orthodox circles. The most problematic challenges to changing the role of women in Orthodox Judaism are certain exemptions and prohibitions outlined in the halakhah (Jewish law) that pertain to women. The halakhah exempts women from positive, time-bound commandments and for the purpose of ordination, the most important are those relating to public worship. However, many sources agree …
