This introduction to the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) offers a literary and historical-critical approach, containing some religio-historical or theological explanations where appropriate.
The doctrine of special revelation and the role of Holy Scripture have been central to the Christian faith for two thousand years. Yet, the nature, authority, and interpretation of the Bible continue to be discussed and debated. In their book Special Revelation and Scripture, David S. Dockery and Malcolm B. Yarnell III explore the fundamental elements of divine revelation, such as inspiration, reliability, and authority, and how these elements influence and shape the Christian's understanding of theological doctrines, ethical teachings, and matters concerning worldview. Dockery and Yarnell begin by developing the doctrine of divine revelation that emphasizes the Bible as the revealed word of...
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
David Carr rethinks both the methods and historical orientation points for research into the growth of the Hebrew Bible into its present form.
The volume consists of 27 surveys of research into the Dead Sea Scrolls in the past 60 years, written by 26 authors. An innovation of the volume is that it covers Qumran scholarship in separate countries: the USA, Canada, Israel, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Italy and the Eastern bloc. Each essay also carries a detailed bibliography for the respective country. Biographies of all the major scholars active in the field are briefly given as well. This book thereby exhaustively surveys past and present Qumran research, outlining its particular development in various circumstances and national contexts. For the first time, perspectives and information not recorded in any other publication are highlighted.
Adrianus van Selms (1906-1984) was a Dutch pastor (1930-1938) who became senior lecturer and professor in Semitic languages at the University of Pretoria (1938-1972) and lecturer in Biblical archaeology (1938-1962) at the Faculty of Theology of the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika (Dutch Reformed Church of Africa). He was an acknowledged academic in South Africa and abroad and the author of numerous publications. His books were predominantly in Dutch, but he wrote most of his articles in English, thus they are theoretically accessible to the scholarly public. A number of articles, however, were published in Dutch and Afrikaans, dialects that are less easy to comprehend by those not fam...
Republished in an English edition as the modern state of Israel prepares to celebrate its seventy-fifth anniversary in 2023, this book presents a history of Israel and Palestine up to the foundation of that modern state. Stretching from the thirteenth century BCE until the First World War, it is a concealed history of a mixed multitude of winners and losers living in the same land. It can be read as a regional history of the Southern Levant, written in light of modern historical and archaeological research. But it can also help shed light on the Israeli–Palestinian question. It contributes to a better understanding of why the Palestinians—regardless of where they live—have remained rooted in their patrimony, Palestine, and why they as a people, now as ever, are entitled to a land and state of their own.
Since The Christian Hope was first published in 1984, eschatology has remained a central concern of Christian Theology. This updated edition allows a new readership to engage afresh with questions of eschatology in a twenty-first century context. --Book Jacket.
Meindert Dijkstra onthult de verzwegen geschiedenis vóór de stichting van Israël in 1948 en benadrukt het Palestijnse erfgoed en recht op land. Palestina en Israël van Meindert Dijkstra is een wetenschappelijke historische studie over de onbekende geschiedenis van Palestina en Israël vóór de stichting van de staat Israël in 1948. Het is een verzwegen geschiedenis van winnaars en verliezers in hetzelfde land, van de 13e eeuw voor Christus tot aan de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Dit boek helpt te begrijpen waarom de Palestijnen, wat ook hun herkomst is geweest, al eeuwenlang geworteld zijn in hun erfgoed Palestina en nog altijd recht hebben op een eigen land, volk en staat. Meindert Dijkstra (1946) is emeritus predikant van de Protestantse kerk in Nederland. Hij doceerde Oude Testament en Oud-oosterse godsdiensten en culturen aan het Evangelisch Koptisch Seminarie te Caïro en was als universitair docent werkzaam aan de Faculteit Godgeleerdheid te Utrecht in hetzelfde vakgebied.
