34
Q

Summarize the interpretational approaches to the interpretation of the Song of Songs as described in HWBP 396-401

A

Allegory: speaks of Yahweh and Israel’s relationship/Christ and the Church’s relationship, very subjective; allegory is never clearly stated and is often used to treat sex as sinful and other things as more sacred

Typology: uses the allegorical sense while also retaining the literal sense, but invites the same subjectivism that is undoing of allegory

Dramatic: some interpretations have two characters where some say there are three; a young woman, Solomon, and the shepherd (Solomon is the antagonist). However, there’s hardly any evidence to support this dramatic structure and it’s nigh impossible to differentiate between the two male speeches

Cultic/Mythological: highly unlikely due to the responsiveness of the pagan practices, doesn’t contain mourning

Literal: simply about human love/a wedding; love poetry and live songs were somewhat common at wedding feasts and in surrounding cultures

35
Q

Discuss the meaning of vanity (Heb: hebel) and its significance for the meaning of the book of Ecclesiastes.

A

Means futility, pointless, nonsense, meaningless, or useless in this context (all negative)

Hebel means “puff of air,” referring to a lack of substance, impermanence, intangibility, and elusivity (not necessarily negative; the attempt to grasp something that is intangible introduces a sense of frustration, which Hebel could describe)

36
Q

Describe an acrostic poem as they are found in the Hebrew Bible. How does understanding this help us in interpreting the book of Lamentations?

A

The way the author processes this grief is by writing 5 poems, 4 of which are acrostic

Each chapter either has 22 verses or a multiple of 22 because there are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet

Each verse begins with the first letter of the alphabet, chapters 1, 2, and 4 are all exactly like this

Chapters 1-3 each have 66 lines, 3 lines being dedicated to each letter

This expresses the author’s grief in an ordered way; Shaw believes that, without this structure, the poet would not be able to express the grief in a helpful or clear way, it would crush him; some order and beauty must come out of this tragedy

37
Q

Discuss the message and theology of the book of Esther

A

Is a story with a point: implicit divine providence and presence

God’s elusive hand brings about His purposes, protecting the Messianic line

38
Q

Describe how the message and theology of the book of Daniel are tied into the structure of the book itself

A

The book of Daniel mainly focuses on the idea of living faithfully. The division of the book shows us in chapters 1-6 how to live faithfully even in exile and possibly even until death, and chapters 7-12 demonstrate what is to come if one does not live faithfully

39
Q

Summarize the message and theology of Ezra-Nehemiah

A

The rebuilding of the house/temple of God

The importance of God’s people

The primacy of the Word of God

At the beginning of these two books, we see the temple being rebuilt, showing that, at this point in redemptive history, it is God’s plan to have the temple rebuilt. Next, we see that God uses ordinary people such as Ezra and Nehemiah to accomplish His goal. Finally, we see Israel go into a long period of silence from God, not hearing His words via prophecy. Thus, Israel is shown the importance of the written words from God that they already had

Q

Pratt discusses nineteen themes that characterize Chronicles. Select four of them and describe them, using specific passages for illustration

A

Prayer: Solomon prays in the temple in 2 Chronicles 6. However, we also see the Lord answer many of the prayers He received from His people in 2 Chronicles chapters 12, 13, and 14 where God answers the prayers of the kings of Judah

Humility: Humility before God is another theme we see in the Chronicles, with these two books using the verb “to humble” eighteen times. We see an example of this in 1 Chronicles 17, 18, and 20, with the verb being used in relation to the United Kingdoms

Unfaithfulness: Unfortunately, the Chronicles also hold the theme of unfaithfulness. The term is used to describe God’s people 14 times over the course of the Chronicles. God Himself being the one that Israel is being unfaithful to as we see in 1 Chronicles 10:13

Repentance: Lastly, we see a theme of repentance in the Chronicles as well. This theme is referred to 9 times under words like turn, repent, bring back, and return. The Chroniclers knew that the important next step God’s people had to take was to repent, as seen throughout the whole book of 2 Chronicles
