Understanding Holiness in Exodus 3 from the Lens of Biblical Spirituality

Holiness is studied from the lens of Biblical Spirituality. Situated in the Divine-Huma relational process, the movement from being un-holy to holy; from being unclean to Divine Purity is given close attention. God as the רק קדוש, draws his people into Himself through purification and in intimacy with Him. The human reality responds with respect and reverence not only to God but to his people as well. However, God has a special preference for the poor and helpless for the clothes them with Himself like a soldier wears his armor. Through a spiritual reading of Exodus 3 and other related Scriptural narratives, these understanding of holiness is surfaced specifically, in the lived experience of Holiness, its nearness in day-to-day life.

The Punctuation of Hebrews 10:2 and its Significance for the Date of Hebrews

The significance of Hebrews 10:2 for the date of the letter has been the subject of debate, with some scholars finding it decisive for a pre-70 CE date and others denying it any importance, proposing (rightly) that the writer is arguing theoretically about sacrificial activity extending since the time of Aaron. The 2017 publication of the Tyndale House Greek New Testament brings the debate into sharp focus with Hebrews 10:2a punctuated as a statement (‘If the sacrifices were effective, they would not have ceased to be offered’) rather than a question (‘If the sacrifices were effective, would they not have ceased to be offered?’). Reading the clause as a statement implies that the temple has fallen and sacrifices have ceased, leading to the conclusion that Hebrews postdates this event. An examination of the manuscript evidence, the history of interpretation, the syntax, and the context shows that the clause should be read as a rhetorical question expecting a positive answer from the readers: ‘Yes, the sacrifices would have ceased if they were effective.’ Even if the writer were arguing theoretically, this would be a difficult answer had the temple been destroyed. This makes a pre-70 date more likely than a post-70 date.

Tyndale STEPBible Data development for machine analysis and computational linguistics

The development of STEPBible.org by Tyndale House Cambridge, which aimed to provide study tools for the disadvantaged world, resulted in creating datasets which are useful for many other purposes. In particular, computational linguistics and other machine analysis can benefit from the more stringent and varied ways in which data has been refined and presented. Much of this data resulted from a project supported by ETEN to automatically tag Bibles to Greek and Hebrew. A public repository is gradually being populated with the results of this work.

The Greek New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House

This is a critical review of The Greek New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House, Dirk Jongkind, Peter J. Williams, Peter M. Head, and Patrick James, eds. (Wheaton: Crossway Books; Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2017). As the title of the edition indicates, The Tyndale House Greek New Testament (THGNT) is a kind of critical edition of the Greek New Testament produced by several scholars at Tyndale House, an independent and evangelical Christian study center in Cambridge, England. This paper consists of mainly two parts: introducing THGNT and evaluating both its text and methods applied upon building its text. BR THGNT is organized into four main parts: (1) Preface (vii-viii); (2) Greek text of the New Testament (1-504); (3) Introduction (505-524); and (4) Acknowledgements (525-526). The preface explains that THGNT is “based on a thorough revision of the great nineteenth-century edition of Samuel Prideaux Tregelles” and “aims to present the New Testament Books in the earliest form in which they can be attested” (vii). THGNT text is presented surprisingly in the order of the four Gospels, Acts, the catholic epistles (James-Jude), the Pauline epistles including Hebrews, and Revelation. The editors use the ekthesis paragraph divisions (first line set to left margin with the rest of the paragraph inset). The introduction explains the distinctive approach to this edition including orthography, order of books, paragraphs, breathings, accents, punctuation, the apparatus, and the list of witnesses.BR Through investigation of both the text selections including the apparatus and the applied methods of THGNT, and comparing them with those of NTGSUP28/SUP/GNTSUP5/SUP and other some editions, this review evaluates that the two strengths of THGNT are its method (reasoned eclecticism balanced with documentary approach and emphasis of scribal habits) and the text itself with good readability. Some interesting choices of THGNT are as follows: THGNT relegates John 7:53-8:11 to the apparatus, and presents Mark 16:9-20 in the text prefaced by the famous scribal note found in minuscule 1. THGNT abbreviates and marks off with a supralinear stroke some numerals in Revelation 13:18 (χξς, 666) and 21:17 (ρμδ, 144). THGNT chooses ὁ μονογϵήνς υἱóς rather than μονογϵήνς θϵóς (NTGSUP28/SUP/GNTSUP5/SUP) in John 1:18, and includes the prayer of Jesus of Luke 23:34 without brackets but lists the omission as a variant and marks with a black diamond. For the study of the Greek New Testament, this paper therefore strongly recommends THGNT as a good alternative edition to be compared with NTGSUP28/SUP/GNTSUP5/SUP as well as the SBL Edition of The Greek New Testament (2010).

The Greek New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House, Cambridge ed. by Dirk Jongkind and Peter J. Williams

Reviewed by: The Greek New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House, Cambridge ed. by Dirk Jongkind and Peter J. Williams Peter R. Rodgers dirk jongkind and peter j. williams (eds.), The Greek New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House, Cambridge (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2017). Pp. 526. $27.16. The publication of a new critical edition of the Greek New Testament is a welcome event, and this is especially the case with the much-anticipated edition produced by Tyndale House in Cambridge, England. The editors, Dirk Jongkind and Peter J. Williams (together with Peter M. Head and Patrick James) are to be congratulated for this elegantly printed, beautifully bound, and reasonably priced edition. The impetus for this fresh edition was the concern of the editors and their colleagues to give a fresh presentation of the critical edition of the important nineteenth-century scholar Samuel Prideaux Tregelles. That edition was produced in 1870 and influenced the work of B. F. Westcott and F. J. A. Hort. But Tregelles's work was eclipsed by the 1881 edition of Westcott and Hort, which quickly became the standard for scholars. Tregelles's independence of judgment and his concern to present the earliest obtainable text on the basis of the available evidence had led J. and W. to begin with his printed text and to revise where necessary. They state in the introduction that their revision has ended up being more thoroughgoing than they had expected, "such that it is now a completely new edition" (p. 506). The editors have followed Tregelles's "strong reliance on the testimony of documents and on the principle of proven antiquity" (pp. 505-6). They note their reliance on new evidence that has come to light, especially on papyri, since the nineteenth century. In light of this insistence, some of their textual choices are surprising. In particular, their choice to print μονογενὴς υἱός in John 1:18 seems strange. Not only have they departed from Tregelles's text, which read μονογενὴς θεός, but they have made this choice despite the strong documentary evidence for the latter that has come to light in the last century (66, 75). Readers will need to wait for the promised commentary on the Tyndale House Greek New Testament for an explanation of this surprising choice. Jongkind and Williams have worked to produce an uncluttered edition. They have sought to present "the Greek text with as little interruption as possible" (p. 515). This concern has led to a minimal apparatus, which cites only Greek manuscripts (listed on pp. 518-23) and includes neither versions nor patristic evidence. In some cases, however, such evidence is critical for making textual judgments. Such a place is Heb 2:9, where patristic evidence helps to tip the scales toward χωρὶς θεοῦ, the reading they did not choose to print in the text but which is increasingly attractive to editors and commentators. In addition, the editors have avoided scholarly signs such as brackets and dashes. They have given special attention to matters of orthography, order of books, paragraphs, breathings, accents, and punctuation following the earliest documentary evidence. But they have not marked perceived citations by special typeface. While they follow Tregelles in this particular matter, at least Tregelles noted OT citations in the outer margins, whereas the Tyndale House Edition does not follow his practice. This seems to be a feature all the more needed, given the robust and growing interest in biblical intertextuality and its potential importance for textual decisions. Perhaps the second edition, which this important resource deserves, will include this valuable feature and might even improve on the information offered by NA28. In making textual judgments, the editors state their concern to take into account recent work on scribal tendencies in the transmission of the text. They especially note the phenomenon [End Page 336] of assimilation, and they write that "the lengthening of the text by harmonization is partly offset by occasional omission of small words and non-essential phrases" (p. 506). This latter phenomenon is perhaps the most striking instance of scribal tendencies that has come to light in modern study. James Ronald Royse, in his landmark study Scribal Habits in Early Greek New Testament Papyri (NTTSD 36; Leiden: Brill, 2007) has demonstrated that...

Both authors considered here were active in the student democracy movement of 1989, and both remain critics of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) regime, Jiang Qisheng from within the country and Chai Ling from without. Jiang was head of the Beijing Student Autonomous Federation and was among those who met with then Premier Li Peng in hopes of engaging in a dialogue with the authorities. He served a brief prison sentence after the movement was suppressed, and was re-arrested in 1999 for helping to organize a demonstration with the Tiananmen mothers on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the massacre. His book recounts his time in the Beijing Detention Center while awaiting trial and at the Transfer Center prior to being sent to prison. It does not discuss his four years actually in prison. One gets the impression these years were the easiest part of his ordeal. [End Page 273] Chai Ling was the “supreme commander” of the hunger-strikers at Tiananmen. After the army seized the square, she and her husband, also a prominent activist, managed to escape. She and her husband were soon divorced. She eventually made her way to the United States. After receiving an MA from Princeton, she remarried a wealthy Boston businessman-politician and founded Zenzabar, a successful Internet company. In 2009, she converted to Christianity, and the book constitutes a kind of apology (in the classical sense of explanation) for her life. The last few chapters are mainly a devotional meditation. Both works are addressed to an English-language audience, probably primarily an American audience. Both, one assumes, are designed to influence American public opinion, with the ultimate aim of encouraging that opinion to push for more humane political order in China. It is hard to know how effective they will be toward that end. The American relationship with China is more complicated now than it used to be and more complicated than the old American relationship with the Soviet Union. From 1976 to 1989, China truly did seem to be undergoing what its rulers purport most to fear, a peaceful evolution, with the political system on a trajectory not necessarily toward liberal democracy but toward greater openness and tolerance to match the growing liberal economy. There was much goodwill between the aware publics in both countries. After the June 4 massacre, this goodwill vanished. However, China’s economic performance in the subsequent decades has fed into an increased military capacity, to the point where, for good or for ill, America can no longer take for granted its ability to exercise political influence in the Western Pacific. Also—and here is the crucial difference from the old Soviet Union—China’s growth has brought about a symbiotic intertwinement of the two countries, such that despite many political, economic, military, and moral frictions, the political establishments of both countries are highly motivated to avoid major stresses in the relationship. Thus, in contrast to the media attention that used to be showered on Soviet dissidents, these works will probably receive minimal notice. In 1989, the American embassy in Beijing was sheltered the outspoken physicist Fang Lizhi for months, despite President George H. W. Bush’s reservations about taking an overly moralistic line toward the PRC. The United States was later able to arrange for Fang’s safe departure. In 2012, the United States declined to give asylum to the Chongqing police boss Wang Lijun. Wang certainly seems...

It is worth noting that the year's bestselling fiction, Glorious Appearing: The End of Days, likewise mixes a literal interpretation of the New Testament with Hollywood-style adventure, portraying the ultimate showdown between the Antichrist, who has assembled the armies of the world (read: United Nations) against Christ's Second Coming.

Rapture, Revelation, and the End Times: Exploring the Behind Series Bruce David Forbes and Jeanne Halgren Kilde. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2004. Rapture Culture: Behind in Evangelical America Amy Johnson Frykholm. Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2004. In 1995, the Behind series began a narrative march toward Armageddon with its founding title, Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days. In this beginning, innocent children and those blessed by sufficient faith in Christ were raptured to heaven. For those left behind, the moment of rapture initiated seven years of tribulation, in which the greater part of humanity would die from natural calamities or human crimes. Some of the left-behinders would repent and develop soul-redeeming beliefs, others would capitulate to the Global Community (GC) and its antichrist leader, Nicolae Carpathia. In Tribulation Force: The Continuing Drama of Those Behind (1996), the almost salvationworthy remnant forms an underground opposition movement that struggles to evade the mark of the beast on their bodies. At the same time, they disseminate their faith through the Internet and underground churches coordinating acts of sabotage and assassination. In the twelfth and nominally final title Glorious Appearing, Jesus himself arrives to slay hundreds of millions of armed GC warriors, cast Satan into the lake of fire, and send the unbelieving goats of humanity to their eternal doom. The edenic period following this global slaughter will last but a thousand years, since the Book of Revelation 20:3 intimates-as rendered in the Lahaye and Jenkins epilogue-after these things [Satan] must be released for a little while (399). Surely the series will continue with sequels and prequels, adding titles in the Left Behind for Kids product and additional feature films beyond Behind (2000) and Behind II: Tribulation Force (2002). Lahaye and Jenkins have become familiar celebrities, being featured on the cover of Newsweek and in other venues for the famous. The sales superlatives for their successful end-times line of goods is constantly outdated by the steady flow of new rapture products. Given such prominence, the Behind franchise presents an overflow of cultural meanings. For those who scan the landscape to find formulaic creations, the series is a small museum of blended genres. It contains numerous proof-text style sermons that map events against the Bible's prophecies. It is an action-adventure thriller that pays loving attention to the weapons and the techno-capers of the insurrection against the antichrist. It uses slapstick comedy and parody of the Freemasons to render Carpathia and his chief at the GC palace in New Babylon. In Assassins (#6), they are compared to Abbott and Costello (4); the GC Potentate label seems to mock the Shriners' Imperial Potentate, especially because the swish Fortunato wears a fez and frequently snags or stumbles upon his robe. Catastrophe film conventions are invoked in a double way. In the original Behind Rayford Steele triggers the rapture moment in history when he feels sexually tempted by Hattie on the airliner he captains. And once begun, the punishing disasters flung from heaven - ice, meteorites, and so on - selectively fall on the wicked, sparing the spiritually rebellious Tribulation Force. The opposites attract romantic formula is steadily employed with those who pair off for the tribulation. The horror film genre is invoked when the assassinated Nicolae Carpathia rises from the dead. Especially distinctive as mythic formula is Glorious Appeanngs rendition of Jesus and his lieutenant Michael as superheroes. Jesus appears on a flying horse to face the millions of warriors assembled by the GC for the destruction of Jerusalem. …

Love and Violence: Marriage as Metaphor for the Relationship between YHWH and Israel in the Prophetic Books (review)

Hebrew Studies 46 (2005) 407 Reviews Shared by the Tetrateuch and the DtrH” (pp. 101–102), a Bibliography (pp. 103–114), and an Index of References (pp. 115–127). The strengths of this study could have been enhanced by more discussion of the nature of the intertextuality Harvey describes. For example, when he says that “Dtr based the Manoah story of Judg. 13 on Genesis 18” (pp. 38– 39), would he describe this relationship as typology, allegory, or something else? Or, would he avoid such compartmentalization? Some may find his psychologizing of Dtr’s “Torah Consciousness” (Chapter 3) to require more controllable defining. Overall, however, Harvey is to be commended for the remarkable clarity with which he writes and explains complex intertextual relationships. It makes this work both accessible to a wide readership while a challenge to the status quo of scholarly opinion on the issues it addresses. The impression with which a reader is left is that the intertextuality he presents is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Harvey’s work opens the door for even more comprehensive treatment of this topic to illuminate our understanding of the history and unity of the Tetrateuch, its use in subsequent texts, and what that reveals about various biblical authors’ views of historiography. Daniel M. Gurtner Tyndale House Cambridge, England dgurtner@yahoo.com LOVE AND VIOLENCE: MARRIAGE AS METAPHOR FOR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YHWH AND ISRAEL IN THE PROPHETIC BOOKS. By Gerlinde Baumann. Translated by Linda M. Maloney. Pp. xii + 271. Collegeville, Minn.: The Liturgical Press, 2003. Paper, $39.95. This book sets out to explore and assess the marriage metaphor in the prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible. It is the most comprehensive, though not necessarily most original treatment of this topic, as it discusses texts from Hosea to the Twelve Prophets, rather than select texts. The book differs from previous scholarship in its attempt to consider this metaphor in the context of ancient Near Eastern law codes, and in its attempt to balance critical observations with historical considerations. The book is divided into three uneven parts related to research background, textual studies, and a brief summary. The first part of the book begins with an overview of previous scholarship on the marriage metaphor, and an overview on metaphor in literary criticism. Baumann appropriately mentions the earlier feminist studies of T. Drorah Hebrew Studies 46 (2005) 408 Reviews Setel, Phyllis Bird, Fokkelien van Dijk-Hemmes, Athalya Brenner, Renita Weems, and Yvonne Sherwood, who have already raised the issue of male violence as a behavioral norm in heterosexual marriage, and as a conduct attributed to God. While she accepts the basic insights made so far on this topic, Baumann argues correctly that most previous studies have not sufficiently considered the historical context of the ancient Near East. Baumann mentions the work of Max Black and Paul Ricoeur, whose theories of metaphors have done the most to break the automatic correlation between the representing image and the object represented in reality. This overview does not take account of postmodern theories of the metaphoric uses of discourse as such. Nevertheless, Baumann emphasizes that metaphorical language has a precognitive value that shapes emotional and moral responses. In chapter 3, Baumann offers an inventory of prophetic terms used to describe a wife’s unacceptable behavior in marriage, such as harlotry (ZNH) and adultery (N√F). She suggests, rather vaguely, that some of these terms have equivalences in ancient Near Eastern codes. Finally, in chapter 4, Baumann discusses the concept of berit or covenant, which is a legal concept applied metaphorically to describe the marital relationship between YHWH, the husband, and Israel, his wife. In chapter 5, Baumann traces the concept of a city as wife to ancient Near Eastern sources. She also notes parallels between prophetic references to the punishment of a disloyal wife to Babylonian and Nuzi texts regarding the punishments of wives seeking divorce. She cites the comparative work of Raymond Westbrook who found parallels between the stripping and expulsion scenarios in the Prophets and a text from Nippur describing the punishment meted out to an adulterous wife. Baumann cites work by Delbert Hillers to substantiate similar correlations between prophetic language and ancient...
