The use of the Psalms in 1 Peter : an exegetical and hermeneutical study / Gregory Yorath PhillipsPhillips, Gregory Yorath January 2013 (has links)
advancements in Old Testament and New Testament Studies. For example, new
knowledge is available on the variant versions of the Septuagint and application of
the literary concept of intertextuality has yielded significant results in recent biblical
scholarship. However, considering that 1 Peter arguably uses the Old Testament in
the most condensed manner of all the New Testament writings, it is surprising that
relatively few recent studies have been carried out on the use of the Old Testament
in 1 Peter.
As a partial corrective to this situation, this in-depth study is focused on the use of
the Psalms in 1 Peter, utilizing an integrated hermeneutical procedure that combines
traditional grammatical-historical analysis with the state of the art on New Testament
use of the Old Testament. The aim is to clarify the hermeneutical implications of the
use of the Psalms in 1 Peter for Old Testament and New Testament exegesis within
the Reformed tradition today.
Thus, a comprehensive exegetical approach is systematically applied to each
pericope of 1 Peter and to every relevant Psalm passage in order to establish a valid
foundation for understanding how the author interprets the Psalms and how the
Psalm references function within the argument of 1 Peter.
In addition, intertextual resonance is considered as an effective means to enhance
understanding of the function and effect of Psalm references as intended by the
author, and to determine the possible unintended effect of Psalm references upon
the addressees and later readers. Furthermore, consideration of reader response
sometimes makes it possible to identify echoes of Psalm passages not likely
intended by the author, but nevertheless, very likely to have come to the minds of the
recipients with significant effect.
One conclusion of this study is that there is no compelling evidence that the author’s
interpretation of the Psalms ignored the intended meaning of the Psalm in its own
context, or merely reflected contemporary Second Temple interpretations.
Furthermore, it has been possible to refine the criteria for identifying and classifying
Psalm allusions rather than merely following broad, predetermined criteria. Thus, a
distinction is made between specific allusion, in which case the author’s argument
depends upon recognition of specific Psalm passages, and general allusion, in which
case the author’s argument depends upon a concept recognizably derived from the
Psalms but not limited by the wording of specific references.
This study also demonstrates that the use of the Psalms in 1 Peter is based upon a
strong sense of solidarity with believers of the past, especially as they expressed
their responses to God in the context of suffering. In particular, compared with other
New Testament writings, 1 Peter stands out for the fact that the majority of its Psalm
allusions are used for the purpose of developing and reapplying significant themes. Thus, 1 Peter provides compelling reason for present-day interpreters to view theme
development as a valid and effective way to apply the Psalms to the circumstances
of Christian believers as they face the challenge of living faithfully in new contexts of
suffering and persecution. / PhD (New Testament), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

Brevard Childs : the logic of scripture's textual authorityDriver, Daniel R. January 2009 (has links)
Brevard Childs argues for the inner logic of scripture’s textual authority as an historical reality that gives rise to the material condition by which the church apprehends and experiences God in Christ. The church’s use of (or by) scripture thus has a larger interiority: the shaped canon of scripture, Old and New Testaments, is a rule of faith which accrues authority in the church, through the vehicle of the sensus literalis. Childs’ work has been misplaced, however. Part one locates it internationally, attending to the way it has been read in English and German and finding that it has enjoyed a more patient reception in Europe than in Britain or North America. To illustrate, Childs’ definition of biblical theology is contrasted with that of James Barr. Their differences over gesamtbiblische theology involve opposite turns toward and away from Barthian dogma in biblical inquiry. Part two examines Childs on biblical reference, introducing why intertextuality is not midrashic but deictic—pointing to the res. This coincides with an understanding of the formation of biblical literature. Childs’ argument for canonical shaping is juxtaposed with Hermann Gunkel on tradition history, showing “final form” to be a deliberate inversion of form critical principles. Childs’ interest in the Bible as religious literature is then set alongside his studious confrontation of Judaism, with implications for inter-religious dialogue. Barr and Childs are compared again in part three, which frames their respective senses of indirect and direct biblical reference in terms of allegory. Both see allegory at work in the modern world under certain rules (either biblical criticism or the regula fidei). Their rules affect their articulations of trinitarian dogma. Finally, Psalm102 highlights divergences between modern and pre-modern interpreters. If scripture comprehends the present immediately, some postures of the church toward the synagogue may be excluded.

Nimsiede en sosiale transformasie : ’n histories-kritiese en affektiewe studie van Psalm 15 / The Nimsides and social transformation : a historical-critical and affective study of Psalm 15)De Lange, Daniel Petrus 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Die Nimsiede het gedurende die laat 9de en vroeë 8ste eeue oor Israel geregeer. Psalm 15 is waarskynlik gedurende die 8ste eeu, tydens die regering van koning Jerobeam II geskryf. ’n Mondelinge tradisie het in die tyd van die Omriede ontstaan en is gedurende die Nimsiede-periode voortgesit . Psalm 15 reflekteer iets van die sosio-ekonomiese konteks van hierdie tydperk. ’n Analise word gedoen om ’n moontlike verbinding met die regering van die Nimsiede te bevestig. ’n Analise word ook gedoen van die emosies wat in die psalm uitdrukking vind. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M. Th. (Old Testament)

Psalms, Hymns, and Commercial Songs: Tradition and Innovation in James Lyon's "Urania"La Spata, Adam 08 1900 (has links)
This dissertation asserts the value of James Lyon's Urania to the field of American music history as a vital contribution to the development of music in the British colonies prior to the War for Independence. While previous scholarship acknowledges Urania's importance as the first publication in America to contain music by a native-born composer, this study argues that its subscription list and selection of anthems (both of which were new to the field of American music publishing) contribute to the status this compilation is due. The confluence of the English chapel tradition and American singing school tradition contributes to the theological universality and accessibility of its twelve anthems. An introductory chapter discusses the secondary literature upon which this study is based - notably that of Oscar Sonneck and Richard Crawford - and posits applications for the idea presented herein beyond the field of musicology. Chapter 2 provides biographical information on James Lyon and contextualizes Urania within the broader framework of the English chapel tradition and the American singing-school tradition. Chapter 3 discusses the marketability of music in colonial America and explores the biographies of the subscribers to Urania using modern databases. Chapter 4 concerns the confluence of music and sacred text by placing Urania as a spiritual and cultural descendant of the theological universality preached during the Great Awakening. It concludes with an analysis of the anthems, taking into account both text and music. Chapter 5 concludes the study by showing how Urania affected music in the generations after its publication. My dissertation concludes with four appendices. Appendix A is an annotated list of Lyon's subscribers. Appendix B parses out basic information on the anthems, notably the texts. Appendices C and D provide critical notes and editions of the anthems, respectively.

Vem var det som kom på vägen? : Bibelbruk i Britt G. Hallqvists psalmerEricsson, Carl Eric January 2017 (has links)
I uppsatsen undersöks sju psalmer som alla har text skriven av Britt G. Hallqvist (1914-1997). De sju psalmerna är ”Vem är det som kommer på vägen?” (1955), ”De skall gå till den heliga staden” (1976), ”Lär mig att bedja av hjärtat” (1970), ”Han gick den svåra vägen” (1975), ”Sackeus var en publikan” (1958), ”Ett litet barn av Davids hus” (1966) samt ”Graven ligger tom” (1970). I uppsatsen ges en bakgrund kring psalmer som fenomen och psalmerna är placerade in i en psalmbokskontext och psalmboken i en nutida kontext. Därtill är författaren, Britt G. Hallqvist, presenterad, vars psalmer är studerade i uppsatsen. Därefter är en analys av de valda psalmerna gjord, psalmerna är i sin tur jämförda med de nytestamentliga texter som är kopplade till den psalmen. I diskussionen gås alla psalmerna igen utifrån några punkter som förenar psalmerna med varandra, eller för dem längre ifrån varandra. I slutsatsen sammanfattas resultatet i analysen och i diskussionen och förtydligas vad svaret på uppsatsens frågeställning blir.
