Covenant (berith) in Daniel and the Dead Sea Scrolls : an exposition of Daniel 9-12 and selected sections of the Damascus Document (CD), Community Rule (1QS), Hymns Scroll (1QHA) and War Scroll (1QM)Linington, Silvia 11 1900 (has links)
The following thesis comprises a systematic, synchronic study of the term בְּרִית (berîṯ,
covenant) in the book of Daniel, the Damascus Document, the Community Rule (Serekhha-
Yaḥad), the Hymn Scroll (Hodayot) and the War Scroll (Milḥamah). The basic text
used for Daniel is the BHS, and for the Dead Sea Scrolls the Dead Sea Scrolls Electronic
Library, supplemented by other editions.
Apart from an introduction (chapter 1), the work is divided into two sections. The
second chapter begins with a discussion of some introductory matters, such as the dating
and purpose of the book of Daniel. The remainder of the chapter comprises two
subsections, consisting firstly of an exegesis of Daniel 9 and secondly an exposition of
Daniel 10-12 with particular reference to covenant terminology. The prayer in Daniel 9 is
given much space since it is replete with covenant language, though the word בְּרִית only
occurs at Daniel 9:4. The main focus of the second subsection is the vision report in Daniel
11, with particular emphasis on Daniel 11:20-45 where the word בְּרִית occurs.
The third chapter contains four subsections, each giving an exegesis of those
parts of the Damascus Document, Community Rule, Hymn Scroll and War Scroll where
the term בְּרִית occurs. Each subsection is preceded by a brief introduction to the scroll
concerned, looking at such issues as the provenance and dating of the scroll without going
into too much detail, and followed by a conclusion, summarising the findings in each
section. While such issues as the nature of the community represented by each scroll are
mentioned where appropriate, they do not form a major emphasis in this study.
Throughout, particular prominence is given to specific terminology used in order
to determine the authors’ theological emphases. A few terms that are related to ,בְּרִית
‘covenant’, such as חֶסֶד (ḥeseḏ ‘mercy, lovingkindness’), אָהָב (’āhāḇ; [covenant] love), אָלָה
(’ālāh; ‘curse, oath’), are also included in this study at the relevant places.
The conclusion (chapter 4) draws together the findings of all sections and seeks
to compare the terminology used in Daniel with that of the Dead Sea Scrolls. / Old Testament & Ancient Near Eastern Studies / D. Th. (Old Testament)

The covenantal relationship between the Methodist Church of Southern Africa and her ministers : a Wesleyan theological critiqueWilliams, Donald Murrell 09 1900 (has links)
The covenant relationship describes the unique relationship entered into between the church and ministers within the Methodist tradition. The study examines the polity, ecclesiology and doctrine of ministry, influences within the Methodist movement and the factors within the Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA) which influenced the adoption of the covenantal relationship, as it is termed, in the MCSA.
The experiences of ministers are researched to understand the impact of the covenantal relationship on their ministry and their wellbeing. Ezekiel, chapter 34, is analysed to discern a model of the expected roles of a shepherd to lead, feed and protect his covenant flock, roles which would be expected of the MCSA in the shepherding of their covenant ministers.
By applying the Wesleyan Quadrilateral to the covenantal relationship using Scripture, tradition, reason and experience, the study concludes that the MCSA should move from a covenantal to a covenant relationship. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)
