Difficult texts
The Deuteronomic account of the giving of the second set of the tablets of the law flatly contradicts the Exodus version. It is a deliberate attempt to play down the memory of the earlier reform of Hezekiah in view of the much more substantial reform of Josiah
Andrew T. Abernethy, Discovering Isaiah
The book does have some significant limitations.First, it is not and does not set out to be a manual of how to plant churches.Perhaps more significantly, as the author readily concedes, we actually know very little about how successful medieval master-apprentice relationships functioned -there are no extant records of conversations between them.Moreover, while the book is supported by a wide range of references, there is little substantial engage…
Bill Kynes and Will Kynes, Wrestling with Job
Difficult texts
Comparison of Exodus 22.19 with the later legislation of Leviticus 20.15-16 raises a number of difficulties as to how the former text should be interpreted. It is suggested that this sole sexual crime in the Book of the Covenant was designed to prevent a physical union with Yahweh through intercourse with a sacrificial animal

The Impact of Undergraduate Research Journals on the Scholarly World
Background: Undergraduate research journals are a popular mechanism for inducting students into research, communication, and publication facets of academia. A thematic review of 17 review papers found little evidence for journal impact. Methods: A scoping review identified 91 journals. A systematic search identified the journal website, its International Standard Serial Number (if any), its citation rate on Google Scholar, its start year and end …

Interpreting this text as an admission of sin on Job's part makes nonsense of the book for Job is specifically rewarded by God for what he has said. Rather, it is to be seen as recognition by Job of what it means to be human: faith must of necessity be agnostic. This is in the end a comfort
Colored Strip Patterns and Front-Back Symmetry in Warp-Faced Pre-Columbian Textiles
Among the textiles made by pre-Columbian weavers in Peru are double-faced warp-faced bands, with two or more differently colored yarns in each warp location, where figures woven on one face appear, by warp substitution, in a different color on the other. Andean weavers reconciled this difference with the aesthetic concern that the two faces be as similar as possible by exploiting the symmetries of colored strip patterns
Marshall H. Lewis, Viktor Frankl and the Book of Job
Death is everything
Difficult Texts
Neither Paul nor Malachi, whom he quotes, appears concerned that God should choose a trickster over his elder brother. But for the Hebrews, deception could be regarded as an act of wisdom which the parable of the unjust steward appears to confirm
Being human
What it is to be human is best understood from the Hebrew concept of the nephesh, best translated as 'personality'. This controls both thoughts and actions, and even expresses itself through personal property. It is though only by the exercise of a proper selfishness that the nephesh is able to achieve self-fulfilment. This cannot be done either in isolation from others, or without space to listen and to look, or by ignoring one's failures. In th…
Difficult Texts
The sacrifice of Abraham is an example of the shadow side of God which is the ultimate test of faith. It is a recurrent theme in the Hebrew Scriptures culminating in Jesus' cry from the cross against his inexplicable abandonment

Israel's Prophetic Tradition
The prophets of the restoration
The prophets Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi have not always been very favourably regarded. They may, to some extent, have suffered from the adverse views of Wellhausen concerning the post-exilic period generally, in which he saw a sad decline from the heights of pre-exilic and exilic prophecy to the stony depths of legalistic Judaism. Such views were often echoed, either in adverse comments on prophets who, in contrast to their forerunners, seemed…

The Topology of Roman Mosaic Mazes
The 46 Roman mosaic mazes that are well preserved and/or well documented enough for the maze-path to be intelligible fall into 25 distinct topological types, which in turn can be built up out of seven elementary submazes. This understanding allows the theoretical reconstruction of some of the mazes that have been partially destroyed and signals instances of faulty restoration in some of those that appear more or less intact today
The Book of Ruth-Deception and Shame
Le livre de Ruth (d'epoque vraisemblablement postexilique) est une histoire de honte et de ruse. Une societe ou le levirat n'est plus pratique, et ou une etrangere ne peut trouver sa place dans la societe israelite que par ruse (Ruth, personnage cree a partir des histoires des filles de Lot et de Tamar), est honteuse

Uncovering the Father's Skirt
UNCOVERING THE FATHER'S SKIRT by ANTHONY PHILLIPS Oxford Deut. xxiii 1 reads: "A man shall not take the wife of his father". The first half of the verse prohibits marriage with a step-mother, thus depriving the heir of his ancient right of inheriting his father's wives and concubines, and having sexual relations with them (Gen. xxxv 22, xlix 4; 2 Sam. iii 7, xvi 22; 1 Kings ii 22; 1 Chron. ii 24) 1). Since a son by a first marriage would often be…
