The expository preaching of New Testament quotations of the Old Testament : a patristically informed redemptive-historical modelMaples, Kevin January 2014 (has links)
This thesis employs a historical approach to practical theology in an effort to discover resources from past practices for critical reflection upon a current methodology with the intent of producing a revised practice. The following research question is pursued: How can the practices of patristic preachers enhance the current efforts of redemptive-historical preachers to preach faithfully the New Testament quotations of the Old Testament?
Chapter One reviews literature from five major redemptive-historical theologians: Geerhardus Vos, Edmund Clowney, Sidney Greidanus, Bryan Chapell, and Graeme Goldsworthy. Five of the major shared characteristics of these authors are considered in light of their various contributions.
Chapters Two, Three, and Four examine various patristic homilies, outlining
practical considerations for a contemporary model of preaching. Chapter Two examines two early homilies, 2 Clement and Quis Dives Salvetur, noting the influence of the synagogue. Chapters Three and Four respectively examine the preaching of Origen and Chrysostom. Chapter Five outlines some major characteristics of patristic preaching discovered through a comparison of the findings of chapters Two through Four.
Chapter Six provides a model for preaching New Testament quotations of the Old Testament that is consistent with the theological convictions of redemptive-historical homileticians and informed by the insights gained from reflection upon the practices of patristic preachers. This model makes an original contribution to knowledge by advancing the discussion of redemptive-historical preaching both through the application of the redemptive-historical approach to the New Testament
quotations of the Old Testament and through the consideration of the relationship between redemptive-historical practices and patristic practices. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D. Th. (Practical Theology)

The Jesus mystery : a biblical, historical and Christological study of JesusBacchioni, Philip Louis 11 1900 (has links)
The Jesus of history and the Christ of faith are two different figures. Two centuries of
search for the historical Jesus has led to greater awareness and better use of New
Testament criticism, had salutary effects on proper historical biblical research and the
desire to look beyond the paucity of material about Jesus in the canonical gospels.
Despite proven difficulties the historical Jesus is an endless enterprise eliciting an equally
endless fascination.
The solution to the Jesus mystery appears better linked to Paul who has never been
subjected to the same degree of historical research as Jesus. The figure, character,
preaching, and teaching of Jesus was fashioned by the gospel authors not just to fit in. with
the primitive church but to provide a natural linkage with Pauline Christianity.
Christian faith is only loosely intertwined with Jesus of Nazareth and has everything to do
with the Christ de"-ised by Paul. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)

MILITÄRISCHE METAPHORIK IM CORPUS PAULINUM: EINE UNTERSUCHUNG ZU VORKOMMEN UND BEDEUTUNG / Military metaphor in the Corpus Paulinum : an investigation into its occurence and meaningNell, Mathias Werner 09 1900 (has links)
Summaries in German and English / Die vorliegende Studie setzt sich mit der militärischen Metaphorik im Corpus Paulinum im Blick
auf deren Vorkommen und Bedeutung auseinander. Es zeigt sich, dass sich die militärische Rede
und deren Anwendungsbereich im Corpus Paulinum über alle dreizehn Briefe hinweg, die der
Reihe nach ihrer wahrscheinlichen chronologischen Abfassungsfolge entsprechend analysiert
werden, zu entwickeln scheint: dienen militärische Motive anfangs noch vorwiegend als
Vergleichsmomente, so werden sie im weiteren Verlauf der Briefchronologie zunehmend
identifizierend eingesetzt. Thematisch verwendet Paulus militärische Redeweise insbesondere zur
Schaffung und Wahrung von Einheit in der Gemeinde auf Grund gemeinsamer Identität sowie um
sich und die Gemeinde als »Mithineingenommene« in den transzendenten, eschatologischen
Kampf gegen Satan zu verstehen und praktisch zu verorten bzw. anzuleiten. Das Evangelium
selbst ist umkämpft, was daher auch die Missionstätigkeit des Paulus bzw. der Gemeinde als eine
geistlich-militärische Mission verstehen lässt. Als »echte Metaphern« können die militärischen
Metaphern bei Paulus weder verlustfrei ersetzt noch aufgelöst werden. / The study deals with military metaphors in the Corpus Paulinum with regard to their occurrence
and significance. It turns out that the military speech and its scope of application in the Corpus
Paulinum seems to evolve across all thirteen letters, which are analyzed in sequence according to
their probable chronological order: if military motifs serve as comparative moments at first, they
are increasingly used identically in the further course of the letter chronology. The use of military
speeches in particular serves the purpose of creating and maintaining unity in the community on
the basis of a common identity, and in order to understand and guide the community in a
transcendent, eschatological struggle against Satan. The Gospel itself is contested, which also
explains the missionary activity of Paul as a spiritual-military mission. As »real metaphors«,
Paul's military metaphors can neither be replaced or dissolved without loss. / New Testament / M. Th. (New Testament)

The impact of Biblical archaeological findings on Christian pilgrimage : the case of the burial sites of JesusSmuts, Stephen (Theologian) 02 1900 (has links)
This dissertation comparatively explores and critically evaluates the historical and traditional notions that are commonly held by Christian pilgrims visiting the Holy Land; and it does so by examining the archaeological, historical, and literary evidence, with specific reference to the existent material remnants that are closely associated with the burial of Christ Jesus.
The research will highlight the impact that biblical archaeological findings and the results thereof have had on these identified pilgrimage sites. Both the strengths and the weaknesses of the evidence will be enumerated; and the implications for the practice and significance of pilgrimages will be set out. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M.A. (Biblical Archaeology)

Entre vie contemplative et temps apocalyptique: Philon d'Alexandrie et la formation de la théologie chrétienne / Between contemplative life and apocalyptic time: Philo of Alexandria and the formation of Christian theologyD'Helt, Alexandre 02 July 2013 (has links)
Cette dissertation a pour objectif de fournir un éclairage nouveau sur la cosmologie philonienne à la lumière de la littérature apocalyptique judéo-chrétienne. Il s'agit reposer la question du lien entre Philon d’Alexandrie et la tradition apocalyptique judéo-chrétienne dans une optique qui se veut à la croisée de l’histoire des religions et de l’histoire de la philosophie. Après délimitation du corpus, on y aborde la question du rapport au mythe et à la théologie. La place est ensuite faite à la question des intermédiaires célestes (Anges, Logos, Esprit), ainsi qu’à la liturgie. Ce point nous mène à la figure du messie et aux raisons du silence de Philon à ce sujet. Cette étude entend ainsi porter un regard nouveau sur la pensée d’un auteur majeur de l’Antiquité qui accomplit la première grande synthèse entre le judaïsme et l’hellénisme, anticipant ainsi l’émergence des conditions métaphysiques du christianisme. / Doctorat en Philosophie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
