His teachings and way of life were such that, according to the contention of many, only in support of an equalitarian view of male-female. This analysis of Jesus stance on women has become increasingly accepted as the correct interpretation of the relevant material in the four Gospels. This research explores the perspective of Jesus concerning women and how well their relationship was while He was ministering on earth. Considering this, examples of women Jesus came across are discussed. It is probable that Jesus' teachings attracted women in part because of the new roles and equal status they were granted in the Christian community. There were many cults in Greece and Rome that were for men only or, at best, allowed women to participate in very limited ways. Judaism offered women proselytes a special restriction place at best, for they were faced with the rabbinic restrictions that limited their participation in religious functions.

Other biblical scholars see nothing illogical about the commission, arguing that Jesus wanted his followers to continue and spread that which he had begun. An important question is this: Was Christ’s mission and purpose on earth important enough to die for but not important enough to continue? This article responds to this question through a proper exegetical engagement of the text.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/44328867/The_Great_Commission_Mandate_of_the_Church_in_Matthew_28_18_20","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2020-10-19T09:47:31.331-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":65866583,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":64718033,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/64718033/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"GREAT_COMISSION.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/64718033/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjMzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Great_Commission_Mandate_of_the_Chur.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/64718033/GREAT_COMISSION-libre.pdf?1603127375=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Great_Commission_Mandate_of_the_Chur.pdf\u0026Expires=1732808513\u0026Signature=ckPXBx4uufs-Xr00TqHsHQPHUqUFeQmmWiY02AOFN7zlTTAOyojZfvQ5IfouyImBGugMRAJ3596ep8Grgffmx8x3nyq3WgIuLmhrvSQXLIkR3PYWDIOB~R81hgERxicO21G3CQ8QiWaObgeGzyZHyna4U7NP9k9QJ0Ym0UcGEz4YgLy7TQxmlCHLuayg~lum8AonDkjvfWr5QLKpclVgFalW5GcQ914irPEwpspaNkvIwEYpdKGVYfMXrfCjrGENMHrk2W7-iHDIZnhT8utrKvfhD2sed0bMKRTvWPSmGc5unLn09phA5qPlLjO1cLiLjxdZfMl8ge4FQFrJW2jQ9w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"The_Great_Commission_Mandate_of_the_Church_in_Matthew_28_18_20","translated_slug":"","page_count":8,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":65866583,"first_name":"KOLAWOLE","middle_initials":"P","last_name":"Oladotun","page_name":"KOLAWOLEOladotun","domain_name":"oouagoiwoye","created_at":"2017-06-25T09:34:11.487-07:00","display_name":"KOLAWOLE P Oladotun","url":"https://oouagoiwoye.academia.edu/KOLAWOLEOladotun"},"attachments":[{"id":64718033,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/64718033/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"GREAT_COMISSION.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/64718033/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjMzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Great_Commission_Mandate_of_the_Chur.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/64718033/GREAT_COMISSION-libre.pdf?1603127375=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Great_Commission_Mandate_of_the_Chur.pdf\u0026Expires=1732808513\u0026Signature=ckPXBx4uufs-Xr00TqHsHQPHUqUFeQmmWiY02AOFN7zlTTAOyojZfvQ5IfouyImBGugMRAJ3596ep8Grgffmx8x3nyq3WgIuLmhrvSQXLIkR3PYWDIOB~R81hgERxicO21G3CQ8QiWaObgeGzyZHyna4U7NP9k9QJ0Ym0UcGEz4YgLy7TQxmlCHLuayg~lum8AonDkjvfWr5QLKpclVgFalW5GcQ914irPEwpspaNkvIwEYpdKGVYfMXrfCjrGENMHrk2W7-iHDIZnhT8utrKvfhD2sed0bMKRTvWPSmGc5unLn09phA5qPlLjO1cLiLjxdZfMl8ge4FQFrJW2jQ9w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":10946,"name":"Biblical Theology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biblical_Theology"},{"id":519090,"name":"Biblical Theological Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biblical_Theological_Studies"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="43481272"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/43481272/The_Central_Theme_of_Johns_Gospel_and_the_Christian_Community"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Central Theme of John's Gospel and the Christian Community" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/63789480/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/43481272/The_Central_Theme_of_Johns_Gospel_and_the_Christian_Community">The Central Theme of John's Gospel and the Christian Community</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Asia Pacific Journal of Academic Research in Social Sciences</span><span>, 2020</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">John's Gospel is considered a unique testimony concerning Jesus Christ, though different from the...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">John's Gospel is considered a unique testimony concerning Jesus Christ, though different from the Synoptic.

In view of this, material things are not bad in themselves but ‘extreme materialism’ and the ‘lust’ attitude which has enslaved the contemporary Nigeria pastorate must be addressed through a correct re-definition of Call to ministry as well as a deeper level of faith on the path of the so called ‘pastors’.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/42784563/God_Will_Supply_All_Your_Needs_According_to_His_Glorious_Riches_The_Problem_of_Extreme_Materialism_among_Nigerian_Pastors","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2020-04-19T04:27:49.982-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":65866583,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":63009511,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/63009511/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"21_MATERIALISM_CRUCIBLE20200419-79355-19fh97d.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/63009511/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjMzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"God_Will_Supply_All_Your_Needs_According.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/63009511/21_MATERIALISM_CRUCIBLE20200419-79355-19fh97d-libre.pdf?1587295877=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DGod_Will_Supply_All_Your_Needs_According.pdf\u0026Expires=1732808513\u0026Signature=FDZdKBS5BlJK5k9P~ZOiJVU4HoLjebGm-vm8llh6TBICdUV38e7grKIhaCvheRpkOI0NALriA7iHnB5XTlznQioK6PXpm2U1VdRYSNPuzlD5h~KG9p16CqMAFLBm2u6Jy-6J7vXWi9Gdv3ORIVjUbJaIZxUv9lCEqE~ymq93mR~eIkKmPlpQjw6x8-Z-VRqVXOoLuYJKgWOPA~PaYzTVjGFxdD0lI-nOlHYxInD2R1Lf9f~gRgA9DxVz9K2ZxVe3KWCn0sj2qKRt3wjcVY9rET9wFosTrtqnRTWTqS-ZM5rIrnj9d7H8puhnNAxIpYgq~2ESEW641MKzwRqprEjytQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"God_Will_Supply_All_Your_Needs_According_to_His_Glorious_Riches_The_Problem_of_Extreme_Materialism_among_Nigerian_Pastors","translated_slug":"","page_count":12,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":65866583,"first_name":"KOLAWOLE","middle_initials":"P","last_name":"Oladotun","page_name":"KOLAWOLEOladotun","domain_name":"oouagoiwoye","created_at":"2017-06-25T09:34:11.487-07:00","display_name":"KOLAWOLE P Oladotun","url":"https://oouagoiwoye.academia.edu/KOLAWOLEOladotun"},"attachments":[{"id":63009511,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/63009511/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"21_MATERIALISM_CRUCIBLE20200419-79355-19fh97d.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/63009511/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjMzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"God_Will_Supply_All_Your_Needs_According.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/63009511/21_MATERIALISM_CRUCIBLE20200419-79355-19fh97d-libre.pdf?1587295877=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DGod_Will_Supply_All_Your_Needs_According.pdf\u0026Expires=1732808513\u0026Signature=FDZdKBS5BlJK5k9P~ZOiJVU4HoLjebGm-vm8llh6TBICdUV38e7grKIhaCvheRpkOI0NALriA7iHnB5XTlznQioK6PXpm2U1VdRYSNPuzlD5h~KG9p16CqMAFLBm2u6Jy-6J7vXWi9Gdv3ORIVjUbJaIZxUv9lCEqE~ymq93mR~eIkKmPlpQjw6x8-Z-VRqVXOoLuYJKgWOPA~PaYzTVjGFxdD0lI-nOlHYxInD2R1Lf9f~gRgA9DxVz9K2ZxVe3KWCn0sj2qKRt3wjcVY9rET9wFosTrtqnRTWTqS-ZM5rIrnj9d7H8puhnNAxIpYgq~2ESEW641MKzwRqprEjytQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

On this note, Matthew's style of presentation and expression of righteousness as a central significant theme of his account is examined and this in turn forms the theoretical framework of this paper.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/40312490/A_Critical_Examination_of_the_Concept_of_Righteousness_in_the_Gospel_of_Mathew","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2019-09-10T20:44:41.066-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":65866583,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":60554342,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/60554342/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"20190910155011_RI20190910-77080-3f621q.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/60554342/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjMzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"A_Critical_Examination_of_the_Concept_of.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/60554342/20190910155011_RI20190910-77080-3f621q-libre.pdf?1568173773=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DA_Critical_Examination_of_the_Concept_of.pdf\u0026Expires=1732808514\u0026Signature=QH1eDR2xXg7QQOWX0HX0rb~hu1pEA2F5Mt0xABHNW6uyYA8ggjklZ2c9Vw4KDBQagXlFUByl32twOJqo4vxiGtYkKDbrWFsJfwGoTtpg-TGH9Vu-eF~WVuLFgPCsDD~mYio3YcUdml2T58GIpchxm06stufs0XzPVgAa4fFTSH5l3J-Jx3v4K4yhWprPstTy4YQRGC3ohgQJwXH6nUPj-nXd76NMknSDBkKO-sh4zgsqhBzFQbC6JOOf1hYRAbLm9Ow6gZuNml8Wu-pASAVqaKhPXrlFJSFGpv-NsHxM2tBz56FLlonliULMlVe65~UGOP-~Y5L6POR4uJ2aEbxDPQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"A_Critical_Examination_of_the_Concept_of_Righteousness_in_the_Gospel_of_Mathew","translated_slug":"","page_count":11,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":65866583,"first_name":"KOLAWOLE","middle_initials":"P","last_name":"Oladotun","page_name":"KOLAWOLEOladotun","domain_name":"oouagoiwoye","created_at":"2017-06-25T09:34:11.487-07:00","display_name":"KOLAWOLE P Oladotun","url":"https://oouagoiwoye.academia.edu/KOLAWOLEOladotun"},"attachments":[{"id":60554342,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/60554342/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"20190910155011_RI20190910-77080-3f621q.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/60554342/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjMzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"A_Critical_Examination_of_the_Concept_of.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/60554342/20190910155011_RI20190910-77080-3f621q-libre.pdf?1568173773=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DA_Critical_Examination_of_the_Concept_of.pdf\u0026Expires=1732808514\u0026Signature=QH1eDR2xXg7QQOWX0HX0rb~hu1pEA2F5Mt0xABHNW6uyYA8ggjklZ2c9Vw4KDBQagXlFUByl32twOJqo4vxiGtYkKDbrWFsJfwGoTtpg-TGH9Vu-eF~WVuLFgPCsDD~mYio3YcUdml2T58GIpchxm06stufs0XzPVgAa4fFTSH5l3J-Jx3v4K4yhWprPstTy4YQRGC3ohgQJwXH6nUPj-nXd76NMknSDBkKO-sh4zgsqhBzFQbC6JOOf1hYRAbLm9Ow6gZuNml8Wu-pASAVqaKhPXrlFJSFGpv-NsHxM2tBz56FLlonliULMlVe65~UGOP-~Y5L6POR4uJ2aEbxDPQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":6528,"name":"Biblical Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biblical_Studies"},{"id":10946,"name":"Biblical Theology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biblical_Theology"},{"id":172953,"name":"Biblical Hermeneutics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biblical_Hermeneutics"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="39418347"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/39418347/Gods_Image_in_Man_A_Biblical_Perspective"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of God's Image in Man: A Biblical Perspective" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/59563495/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/39418347/Gods_Image_in_Man_A_Biblical_Perspective">God's Image in Man: A Biblical Perspective</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>American Journal of Biblical Theology</span><span>, 2019</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Over the years, the nature of mankind portrays that he is implicitly created in a special way.

Nigeria lacks good<br />leadership. The understanding of leadership in the Nigerian context<br />obviously needs rejuvenation. The way of life of the Nigerian leader<br />is just to ‘chop and clean mouth’. Selfishness and self-centeredness<br />of the leaders make life difficult for the masses who face abject poverty,<br />unemployment and loss of jobs. A sense of equity and equality is rare<br />in the Nigerian leadership. Their clamor is: I, me and myself; their<br />concern is only about themselves and their families. As long as they<br />themselves and others close to them are doing fine, they don’t care<br />a bit about the rest.

The scope of this study is channeled basically towards the Nigerian context. The reality and actuality of corruption in Nigeria nation suggests that Nigeria still retains its popular known notch as the 'giant of Africa', being shortchanged for 'giant of corruption'. Although, it can be argued that Nigeria is not the most corrupt country in Africa; its uniqueness being part of the corrupt countries is obviously glaring. It is not in any way an overstatement to say that corruption is the middle-name of Nigeria itself; with the fact that there seems to be no dailies in Nigeria media without a trending issue on corruption. With several religions in Nigeria (Islam, Christianity, African Religion); it is logical to ask why do corruption still prevails?

The Christian Community is of great advantage having the same sections in one piece, to enrich and provide Christians with enough information concerning the account of Jesus Christ.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/43481272/The_Central_Theme_of_Johns_Gospel_and_the_Christian_Community","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2020-06-30T10:10:10.923-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":65866583,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":63789480,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/63789480/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"24_CENTRAL_THEME_OF_JOHN_AJAPRASS20200630-111683-19r40by.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/63789480/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjMzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Central_Theme_of_Johns_Gospel_and_th.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/63789480/24_CENTRAL_THEME_OF_JOHN_AJAPRASS20200630-111683-19r40by-libre.pdf?1593538111=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Central_Theme_of_Johns_Gospel_and_th.pdf\u0026Expires=1732808513\u0026Signature=LOx6jLIbAuqhW3cd7DJ7txlAa60VYh1kZmzOBr9cBfew21HGzU-PqKL3m0Qy33HhyrcSIR4qlJohXXsFfNS4LkZG4hXL97inu5OrDhIh1MuB0bepJ5Cf30TqXkzR6cq1QzNjQgiEwWSPWIqckt18VkCgCR2ubFL83HVRxDOsJwlGqTdlNtWh0AJ7jQSbrkJME7K7ke86H7U2~X2f-vO~VNXZ9AiGHmdHbzCmSxk4CpmxHXiK2hZcU6tzP3GTgo0I29uA6rvXWl22Hs4E7ZxcZmQJI1wvaa5UsXyQTy~xrojm5m0cbe4Bk12NKHLm0wy3Vib90GN7P54ELyWef2iAdA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"The_Central_Theme_of_Johns_Gospel_and_the_Christian_Community","translated_slug":"","page_count":5,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":65866583,"first_name":"KOLAWOLE","middle_initials":"P","last_name":"Oladotun","page_name":"KOLAWOLEOladotun","domain_name":"oouagoiwoye","created_at":"2017-06-25T09:34:11.487-07:00","display_name":"KOLAWOLE P Oladotun","url":"https://oouagoiwoye.academia.edu/KOLAWOLEOladotun"},"attachments":[{"id":63789480,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/63789480/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"24_CENTRAL_THEME_OF_JOHN_AJAPRASS20200630-111683-19r40by.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/63789480/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjMzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Central_Theme_of_Johns_Gospel_and_th.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/63789480/24_CENTRAL_THEME_OF_JOHN_AJAPRASS20200630-111683-19r40by-libre.pdf?1593538111=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Central_Theme_of_Johns_Gospel_and_th.pdf\u0026Expires=1732808513\u0026Signature=LOx6jLIbAuqhW3cd7DJ7txlAa60VYh1kZmzOBr9cBfew21HGzU-PqKL3m0Qy33HhyrcSIR4qlJohXXsFfNS4LkZG4hXL97inu5OrDhIh1MuB0bepJ5Cf30TqXkzR6cq1QzNjQgiEwWSPWIqckt18VkCgCR2ubFL83HVRxDOsJwlGqTdlNtWh0AJ7jQSbrkJME7K7ke86H7U2~X2f-vO~VNXZ9AiGHmdHbzCmSxk4CpmxHXiK2hZcU6tzP3GTgo0I29uA6rvXWl22Hs4E7ZxcZmQJI1wvaa5UsXyQTy~xrojm5m0cbe4Bk12NKHLm0wy3Vib90GN7P54ELyWef2iAdA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":1302,"name":"Theology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Theology"},{"id":6528,"name":"Biblical Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biblical_Studies"},{"id":267727,"name":"Christian Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Christian_Studies"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

These religions which range from people of various countries/sections etc have the belief in a divine gathering and this made them to have various names for the \"Chairman\" or \"Head\" of the gathering as the religion might suggest. This research presents a discourse on the Council of Yahweh which is headed by God (Yahweh). Therefore, the reference to divine council is not to be generalised as it is being used for other gathering of gods in some other religious sense of it but rather to the supreme God.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/42214863/The_Council_of_Yahweh_in_the_Old_Testament_A_Functional_Recipe_for_African_Traditional_cum_Political_Leaders","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2020-03-14T01:49:57.512-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":65866583,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[{"id":33882170,"work_id":42214863,"tagging_user_id":65866583,"tagged_user_id":117308906,"co_author_invite_id":null,"email":"h***u@gmail.com","display_order":1,"name":"Ayantunde Olaoluwa","title":"The Council of Yahweh in the Old Testament: A Functional Recipe for African Traditional cum Political Leaders"}],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":62363947,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/62363947/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"19_COUNCIL_OF_YAHWEH20200314-40745-1l2szvj.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/62363947/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjMzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Council_of_Yahweh_in_the_Old_Testame.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/62363947/19_COUNCIL_OF_YAHWEH20200314-40745-1l2szvj-libre.pdf?1584289827=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Council_of_Yahweh_in_the_Old_Testame.pdf\u0026Expires=1732808513\u0026Signature=dEtOKxVW7mQuwvPyJcjnQBdPSWDJpA2qrZzlqy9UaVkjqdr-y8vhl4lQC1T62SjPezmluTGkB2Uxz8PSR-uf53nenGao0kO-Ncl2TCxzmA~HdJ6WLANTtm9QoVnAq7fwYa~DYmSjhB77MYkT~co58GTzRLXamLaypBHd39mP5bYcbY2wjT4~JtriJDGZ5BxFroS2IMdi9h~Tb0e3gj2RrP7epnp41-22SZXQAZiVAGCD-WYbgvYjvsLuKY8kSMYX6J8fMtcHnUOL~RjPAl7VcY92xXBNPjpGUkpcsIk6ZIYfSirTw4XA6P~oQ~Npg69g3~uVqZD9ZQ5ENDo6xt1lgA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"The_Council_of_Yahweh_in_the_Old_Testament_A_Functional_Recipe_for_African_Traditional_cum_Political_Leaders","translated_slug":"","page_count":15,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":65866583,"first_name":"KOLAWOLE","middle_initials":"P","last_name":"Oladotun","page_name":"KOLAWOLEOladotun","domain_name":"oouagoiwoye","created_at":"2017-06-25T09:34:11.487-07:00","display_name":"KOLAWOLE P Oladotun","url":"https://oouagoiwoye.academia.edu/KOLAWOLEOladotun"},"attachments":[{"id":62363947,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/62363947/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"19_COUNCIL_OF_YAHWEH20200314-40745-1l2szvj.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/62363947/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjMzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Council_of_Yahweh_in_the_Old_Testame.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/62363947/19_COUNCIL_OF_YAHWEH20200314-40745-1l2szvj-libre.pdf?1584289827=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Council_of_Yahweh_in_the_Old_Testame.pdf\u0026Expires=1732808513\u0026Signature=dEtOKxVW7mQuwvPyJcjnQBdPSWDJpA2qrZzlqy9UaVkjqdr-y8vhl4lQC1T62SjPezmluTGkB2Uxz8PSR-uf53nenGao0kO-Ncl2TCxzmA~HdJ6WLANTtm9QoVnAq7fwYa~DYmSjhB77MYkT~co58GTzRLXamLaypBHd39mP5bYcbY2wjT4~JtriJDGZ5BxFroS2IMdi9h~Tb0e3gj2RrP7epnp41-22SZXQAZiVAGCD-WYbgvYjvsLuKY8kSMYX6J8fMtcHnUOL~RjPAl7VcY92xXBNPjpGUkpcsIk6ZIYfSirTw4XA6P~oQ~Npg69g3~uVqZD9ZQ5ENDo6xt1lgA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":4769,"name":"Old Testament Theology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Old_Testament_Theology"},{"id":6528,"name":"Biblical Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biblical_Studies"},{"id":65733,"name":"Educational management and leadership","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Educational_management_and_leadership"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });
