The Torah and Atonement
The “sin offering” in Lev 4 has had a significant role in the development of a doctrine of the atonement. The article considers further what Leviticus means by sin or offense, sin offering or offense offering, mistake, guilt offering or fault offering, stain on the person and on the sanctuary, violation, reparation, ransom or covering or cleansing or atonement, and pardon and forgiveness. It notes how these find expression in Israel’s history and…
Austin Farrer, Anglican Theologian Preacher
Austin Farrer was a notable preacher and theologian in Oxford in the mid-twentieth century. In his preaching he embodied the reality of a relationship with God, and as a thinker he took seriously and interacted with but worked in contrast with the theology of the 1960s. As a preacher he expounded the Scriptures in a distinctive lively fashion, which often drew people in, one way or another, by the distinctiveness of its introductions, though his …
Introducing a Hermeneutics of Cispicion
A hermeneutics of cispicion challenges cisnormative presuppositions that shape and, at times, occlude the variations in gender and sex exhibited by key characters in the ancestral narrative of Genesis 12–50. It charts the progression from Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics of suspicion, through liberation, feminist and queer approaches. Focusing on Deryn Guest's queer and trans hermeneutics, Henderson-Merrygold then offers a new strategy for reading aga…
And I Acted for the Sake of My Name (Ezekiel 20)
The translation “and I acted for the sake of my name” (not “but I acted for the sake of my name”) is appropriate for Ezek 20:14 and 22 as well as 20:9
Nothing new under the sun
The novels of Michel Houellebecq and the Five Scrolls in the Jewish Scriptures are mutually illuminating in their portrayal of human life in the context of a secular or post-secular world with its wistfulness about meaning and about God
Jenni Williams, The Kingdom of Our God
Thinking with the Old Testament about the pandemic
Genesis, Exodus, Ruth, Samuel-Kings and Chronicles include a number of stories about epidemic and famine that may resource us as we wonder how to think about the Covid-19 pandemic, about how God might be involved in it, about the past and the future, and about what our response to it might be
Translating Common Words
The Dictionary of Classical Hebrew, now complete, particularly helps one study common words, both ordinary words and words with theological freight. Such study suggests some myopia in how English translations render words such as ḥesed, ’āhēb, sānē’, yārē’, dāraš, biqqēš, ‘ebed, nāsā’, yĕšû‘āh, mišpāt, and ṣĕdāqāh. The paper considers ways of translating some of these words and then considers Isaiah 56:1. This example also points to the usefulnes…
The Lord of the Psalms by Patrick D. Miller
The sting in the Psalms, Part 2
In this paper we take up two overlapping aspects of the way in which the toughness of the Psalms can fulfill a constructive function. The first part (chiefly the work of Kathleen Scott Goldingay), published in the previous issue of Theology, looked at the way their poetic nature can have an ethical effect on the person who uses them. This second part (chiefly the work of John Goldingay) considers the significance of using the imprecatory psalms.1
