Was Jesus Illegitimate? The Evidence Of His Social Interactions, James F. Mcgrath Apr 2010

Was Jesus Illegitimate? The Evidence Of His Social Interactions, James F. Mcgrath

James F. McGrath

This article examines the social status of the historical Jesus in relation to recent studies that place Jesus into the social category of an illegitimate child. After surveying the evidence with respect to the situation of such individuals in first century Mediterranean and Jewish society, we shall proceed to examine whether Jesus' implied social status (as evidenced by accounts of his adult social interactions) coheres with what one would expect in the case of someone who bore the stigma of that status. Our study suggests that the scandal caused by Jesus' association with the marginalized clearly implies that he did …

The Sanctified ‘Adultress’ And Her Circumstantial Clause: Bathsheba’S Bath And Self-Consecration In 2 Samuel 11, J. D'Ror Chankin-Gould, Derek Hutchinson, David H. Jackson, Tyler D. Mayfield, Leah Rediger Schulte, Tammi J. Schneider, E. Winkelman Mar 2008

The Sanctified ‘Adultress’ And Her Circumstantial Clause: Bathsheba’S Bath And Self-Consecration In 2 Samuel 11, J. D'Ror Chankin-Gould, Derek Hutchinson, David H. Jackson, Tyler D. Mayfield, Leah Rediger Schulte, Tammi J. Schneider, E. Winkelman

Bathsheba's actions in 2 Sam. 11.2-4 identify crucial aspects of her character. Past commentators interpret these words in connection with menstrual purification, stressing the certain paternity of David's adulterine child. This article demonstrates that the participles rōheset and mitqaddesšet and the noun mittum'ātāh do not denote menstrual cleansing. Bathsheba's washing is an innocent bath. She is the only individual human to self-sanctify, placing her in the company of the Israelite deity. The syntax of the verse necessitates that her action of self-sanctifying occurs simultaneously as David lies with her. The three focal terms highlight the important legitimacy of Bathsheba before …

Study Of The Eisenach Epistle-Lesson For The Eighteenth Sunday After Trinity, Th. Laetsch Sep 1932

Study Of The Eisenach Epistle-Lesson For The Eighteenth Sunday After Trinity, Th. Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

James, in his epistle to the twelve tribes scattered abroad, does not teach salvation by works, nor does he proclaim a different way to heaven from that preached by Paul, Rom. 8, 24, and John, John 1, 19. 18, and Peter, Acts 15, 7-11, and Jesus, Mark 16, 18. James, a servant of Jesus Christ, chap. 1, 1, teaches salvation by grace through faith. Chap.1, 17.18 he speaks of regeneration though the Word by the grace of God. V. 21 he speaks of the Word as being able to save, which Word must be received, or believed. His object is …

Concordia Theological Monthly

“In this second chapter the same cycle of event recurs as in the first, with this difference, that what is expressed by symbol in the one, is simply narrated in the other.''


Studies In Hosea 1-3, Th. Laetsch Jan 1932

Studies In Hosea 1-3, Th. Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

Hosea at the very beginning of his book calls attention to the fact that not only the command, v. 2, but all his speeches recorded in this book are not man’s words, human speeches, but words of the Lord, as whose mouthpiece Hosea served.
