The Deuteronomistic History contains many vast troop and casualty numbers. What purpose does this literary device of numerical hyperbole serve? What rhetorical purposes do any of the numbers in this text serve? In The Rhetorical Use of Numbers in the Deuteronomistic History: “Saul Has Killed His Thousands, David His Tens of Thousands,” Denise Flanders explores the variety of rhetorical effects that numbers have on the narrative of Joshua–2 Kings. Flanders demonstrates that numbers in Joshua–2 Kings often work in surprising and subversive ways. Rather than regularly glorifying a leader, large casualty numbers may actually anticipate a ruler’s downfall. Rather than underscoring an Israelite battle victory, numbers sometimes qualify or undermine the triumph of victories.

Miracle In Isaiah written by John Goldingay and has been published by Fortress Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-03-29 with Religion categories.
The book of Isaiah places a distinctive emphasis on the miraculous. It speaks about the miraculous more than any other book of Scripture. Because miracle runs through the whole of the prophecy, careful attention to it, as John Goldingay gives it here, not only unfolds the message of Isaiah but allows the theme to become a detailed commentary on the God of miracles. Miracle is a tricky word, so Goldingay defines what is meant by the miraculous in Isaiah before considering the miraculous features throughout the book: in testimonies to Yahweh's extraordinary communication with people such as prophets, in reminders of Yahweh's extraordinary acts long ago, in reports of the extraordinary acts whereby Yahweh rescues his people within the book's temporal framework, in promises of Yahweh's extraordinary acts of restoration in the future, and in Yahweh's extraordinary acts toward other peoples. What of the miracles of long ago? Did God create the world, devastate it and then start it off again, summon Abraham, deliver Israel from Egypt, drown the Egyptian army in the Red Sea, take the Israelites through the wilderness, dispossess the Canaanites, defeat the Midianites? What about the miracles that come after, including those witnessed in the New Testament--especially the raising of Jesus from the grave? Goldingay points to the interweaving of miracle with narrative in Isaiah itself to provide a clue: these are stories about real events which, with the help of the Spirit of God, have become narratives that captivate and edify.

In The Deuteronomist’s History, Hans Ausloos provides for the first time a detailed status quaestionis concerning the relationship between the books Genesis–Numbers and the so-called Deuteronom(ist)ic literature. After a presentation of the origins of the 18th and 19th century hypothesis of a Deuteronom(ist)ic redaction, specific attention is paid to the argumentation used during the last century. Particular interest also is paid to the concept of the proto-Deuteronomist and the mostly tentative approaches of the Deuteronom(ist)ic ‘redaction’ of the Pentateuch during the last decades. The book concludes with a critical review and preview of the Deuteronom(ist)ic problem. Each phase in the Deuteronomist’s history is illustrated on the basis of the epilogue of the Book of the Covenant (Exod. 23:20-33).

This is the third in a series of conference papers on rhetorical criticism. Held in July 1995 in London, the conference included participants from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the Republic of South Africa. Part I is concerned with the past, present and future of rhetorical analysis; Parts II, III and IV are concerned with rhetorical analysis of scriptural texts; and Part V provides a conclusion reflecting on a number of questions raised in Part I. Most of the participants would characterize themselves as advocates of rhetorical criticism; but there were others less convinced that rhetorical criticism is developing as it ought.

UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE AS A SCRIPTURE IN HISTORY, CULTURE, AND RELIGION The Bible is a popular subject of study and research, yet biblical studies gives little attention to the reason for its popularity: its religious role as a scripture. Understanding the Bible as a Scripture in History, Culture, and Religion integrates the history of the religious interpretation and ritual uses of biblical books into a survey of their rhetoric, composition, and theology in their ancient contexts. Emphasizing insights from comparative studies of different religious scriptures, it combines discussion of the Bible’s origins with its cultural history into a coherent understanding of its past and present function as a scripture. A prominent expert on biblical rhetoric and the ritualization of books, James W. Watts describes how Jews and Christians ritualize the Bible by interpreting it, by expressing it in recitations, music, art, and film, and by venerating the physical scroll and book. The first two sections of the book are organized around the Torah and the Gospels—which have been the focus of Jewish and Christian ritualization of scriptures from ancient to modern times—and treat the history of other biblical books in relation to these two central blocks of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament. In addition to analyzing the semantic contents of all the Bible’s books as persuasive rhetoric, Watts describes their ritualization in the iconic and expressive dimensions in the centuries since they began to function as a scripture, as well as in their origins in ancient Judaism and Christianity. The third section on the cultural history and scriptural function of modern bibles concludes by discussing their influence today and the controversies they have fueled about history, science, race, and gender. Innovative and insightful, Understanding the Bible as a Scripture in History, Culture, and Religion is a groundbreaking introduction to the study of the Bible as a scripture, and an ideal textbook for courses in biblical studies and comparative scripture studies.

In Anbetracht einer anstehenden Revision der bisherigen Trauagenden nimmt ein Beitrag deren historische Traditionen, die Begriffe Verlobung und Trauung, das Verhältnis von staatlichem und kirchlichem Handeln, die theologischen Verständnisse von Ehe ebenso wie die Vermittlung von Tradition und Situation in den Blick. Schulgottesdienst und geistliches Leben am Lern- und Lebensort evangelischer Schulen unter Berücksichtigung der sechsten Kirchenmitgliedschaftsuntersuchung sind Thema des zweiten liturgischen Beitrags. Der Autor fragt nicht nur danach, was Religionsunterricht leisten kann und was nicht, sondern fragt auch nach den Besonderheiten und dem Auftrag evangelischer Schulen. Die hymnologischen Beiträge befassen sich mit Leben und Werk von Daniel Herrnschmidt, dem Autor des heute noch gesungenen Liedes Lobe den Herren, o meine Seele, mit den Liedern in den Gottesdiensten Friedrich Schleiermachers 1830–1834, dem Berner Gesangbuch von 1853 und seiner Vorgeschichte, einer Legende über die Entstehung des Liedes Macht hoch die Tür und dem Berliner Gesangbuch von 1657/58 innerhalb der reformierten Tradition. Literaturberichte zur Liturgik und Hymnologie sowie Strophen- und Personenregister runden das Jahrbuch ab.

Een nieuw commentaar op 2 Samuël voor preekvoorbereiding en Bijbelstudie. In het nieuwe deel van de commentarenreeks ‘De prediking van het Oude Testament’ behandelt dr. J.F. Mol 2 Samuël. In 2 Samuël staat beschreven hoe de overdracht van het koningschap van Saul naar David zijn beslag krijgt. Davids status als ‘gezalfde’ en het verbond dat God met hem sluit, vrijwaren hem niet van zorgen, tegenslagen of gedrag dat God onwelgevallig is. Ook de grootste koning van Juda en Israël blijkt een mens van vlees en bloed, die zonder Gods genade geen toekomstperspectief heeft.
