Deconstructing Creation
While many prophetic texts display human actions as echoing into the non-human world, Hos 4:3 and Zeph 1:2–3 uniquely do so by reversing the order of creation as found in Gen 1:1–2:3. Both texts literarily deconstruct creation as part of larger paradigms of judgment. Whereas Hosea presents human action (i.e., repentance) as capable of averting the coming crisis, humans are powerless to halt the unraveling of creation in Zephaniah. This shift in t…
Between the local and the global
Although numerous approaches to cultivating an ecocritical awareness in students exist, much scholarly dialog has revolved around ecojustice education and ecopedagogy. Whereas the former seeks to cultivate a local ecocritical awareness in students, the latter advocates for a globalized “planetary citizenship.” While both cultivate an ecocritical awareness, they focus this awareness in different directions: the local and the global. This tension i…
The quest to cultivate an ecocritical awareness in educational technology scholarship
Although many academic disciplines are now experiencing a process of “greening” as scholars seek to cultivate an ecocritical awareness within disciplinary scholarship, Neil Selwyn notes that such ecocritical concerns rarely feature in the field of educational technology. In this paper, I bring Selwyn's call for ecocritical awareness in the field of educational technology into conversation with emerging scholarly discussions in the fields of ecoju…
Framing Religious Violence
Sean Murphy’s six instalment series Punk Rock Jesus explores the interaction between faith, reason, the media, and American society. The narrative follows the creation, indoctrination, and apostasy of a clone of Jesus. After the traumatic events that led to his apostasy, this Jesus works to unveil the dangers of faith using his platform as a Punk Rock singer. Underneath this plot exists the sub-narrative of Jesus’ loyal bodyguard, the unwavering …
Exile, Restoration, and the Question of Postexilic Suffering in Josephus
The present study focuses on the representation of restoration and postexilic suffering in Josephus’s Antiquities of the Jews . This study first builds upon Feldman’s observations, arguing that Josephus interprets the rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple as the Judean restoration marking the end of exilic judgment. Second, this study examines Josephus’s interpretation of subsequent postexilic oppression and suffering at the hands of foreigners. Jos…
The Preaching Power of Cardinal John Henry Newman
Cardinal John Henry Newman is remembered as one of the greatest preachers of the 19th century. His influence is unrivalled as he drew enormous crowds to hear his Sunday afternoon sermons at St Mary’s at Oxford. Yet many historical accounts of his preaching style reveal what may be labelled as serious defects by modern standards. Eye witnesses report him as having little biblical exegesis, reading from a manuscript with his eyes down, speaking qui…
