Question

History preference

Answer 1

Source Criticism - authorship importance? Not in Near Ancient world Started to matter - Greek/Romans Copywriting matters now - value Ad fontes - to the source… not just the words but who wrote the word and what was their source.. Original audience - and who were the authors, who wrote, to whom did they write, this gives enlightenment to what originally meant… Apply enough rational thought, everything will come to the light.

Answer 2

How were original authors vs. editors History and authorship - focus it never came to what is this demanding of me. Church is in love with culture - fundamentalists and those were not. Not how to encounter or makes demands on our lives. Hypothetical editors/authors…

Answer 9

Symbolically look beyond themselves to a future reality. Origin Scholar - sarah is virtue, philistine want virtue, can’t have access because you need Jesus… Pros- NT authors use allegory - Parables - Isaiah, genesis Cons Not every text can invite readers to be allegory.. They are not self evident. Devalues the OT text because you are looking for different meaning.

Answer 10

God does not reveal everything all at once. Overtime God reveals divine self and bits and pieces. Clearest revelation is NT incarnation. Eichrodt- NT is top idea of God, OT medium ideas, old other religions bad Yancey - points to Jesus We cannot comprehend the complexity of God. Limitations - old is not as trustworthy… Freeing slaves but then NT says to submitting to masters… Disconnect!!! Does God reach the high point in the NT? We are little Christ? More true with Q’uran, or Book of Mormon? Implications - in this scheme - OT would not be necessary, just a record of a primitive way of thinking about God. Faith in evolution not in God… humans are getting better and we are building it here on earth. Do not assume older material is less important… and that God is all revealed on page 1

Answer 11

God relates to differently to humanity at different times. Dispensation of Mosaic Law Dispensation of Grace Dispensation of Millenium reign It is ok chapters in the over arching story? Deuteronomic theology - Too far to say God acts differently… not clear cut.. Grace is in the OT - forgiveness is not a NT idea… NT not abundant in grace - hell, pain and gnashing of teeth(judgement). Jonah - God is showing grace to Assyrians, Jonah is mad and wants the law. Containers are overly simplistic.. OT would have little value because it is was from a by gone age.

Answer 12

Brevard - JC is the subject matter of the OT… Barth - OT witnesses to JC Is this first and foremost? No Messiah texts.. even calling evil kings messiah… ruling politically. Jesus talked of spiritual kingdom… Jews do not expect Jesus - unexpected If we are focusing on Jesus - NT is better and unclear that OT would be a passing notice. Jesus becomes the most important part of the Trinity…. But an acting thing when we emphasize Jesus.

Answer 14

Turn the other cheek… 3) AA offers a refuge from attitudes European scholarship that have always bothered me. 4) I am blown away by their creativity, insight and knowledge of scriptures, and connections they make with the real needs of the real world. 5) AA experiences makes the Bible come to life in new ways.

Answer 15
