class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">The egalitarian interpretation of Scripture is based on the view that Scripture does not limit women’s roles and contributions in any arena, including the Church. Although egalitarians recognize that Scripture represents patriarchal interests, their interpretations highlight the positive depictions of women in the Bible. They claim that many women figures disrupt traditional interpretations of gender. This position contrasts to complementarian biblical interpretations that use the Bible to restrict women from ecclesial leadership, without attention to textual and historical contexts that mitigate universal application. Christian egalitarians also contribute to feminism’s concern about women’s global equality via social media campaigns, organizations, blogs, and scholarship. The essay discusses relevant examples to show that all of them focus on women’s experiences in church, biblical teaching, and Christian feminist identity.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="109602304"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="109602304"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 109602304;

als zentral wurde in dieser Erzählung in Numeri 12 der Wunsch von Miriam und Aaron nach Gleichbehandlung mit Moses gesehen. Frühere Exegeten dieses Textes hingegen konnten einen Zusammenhang zwischen Moses' kuschitischer Frau und der Auseinandersetzung über die Prophetie aufgezeigt. Ich bin auch der Meinung, dass die Verse 1 und 2 im Kontext von Numeri 12 miteinander verbunden sind. Gott bestätigt sowohl den einzigartigen prophetischen Status von Mose, als auch seine Heirat mit einer fremden Frau in den drauffolgenden Versen von Numeri 12. So kann Numeri 12 mit anderen Texten der Tora und des jüdischen Schrifttums verglichen werden, die Esras und Nehemias Strategie "fremde Frauen" abzulehnen und Exogamie zu verbieten, ablehnen.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="c5b970e5b97facda322ca9e54bbbba2d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":105991168,"asset_id":107278819,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/105991168/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="107278819"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="107278819"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 107278819;

Zipporah's circumcision of her son in Exodus 4 is the climax of a pattern in which females thwart attacks on endangered males. Later, Zipporah's father confessed faith in Moses' God and ate a meal with Israel in the presence of God. Zipporah and her father represent a household that originated outside of Israel's ideological boundaries, but became positively allied to Israel through marriage, circumcision, confession, and sacrifice. This and similar stories suggest that, among those who selected and shaped the narratives of the Tanakh, there was considerable and persuasive dissent from what has often been assumed to be the dominant position in Second Temple Judaism. [2] Recently several scholars have applied modern theories of ethnicity to post-exilic Jewish history, connecting the formation of the Jewish Scriptures to the identity crises brought by exile and resettlement in the Babylonian and Persian periods. Some emphasize the concern exhibited in these texts with Israel's religious identity and the distinctions between Israel and other peoples. 1 Others seek to link certain biblical narratives to the economic and property issues resulting from exile resettlement and Persian policies and politics. 2 I am interested in the relevance of wife-taking traditions throughout the Hebrew Bible to the social tensions over identity formation and ethnicity construction among the Jews who processed these traditions and produced a set of scriptures. I maintain that diverse wife-taking stories found across the range of Torah, Prophets, and Writings are best explained, not by positing stages in the development of marriage customs over the range of Israel's history, but rather as representative of distinct perspectives on exogamy among the scribes who redacted them. 3 I am arguing that narratives and law codes in the Pentateuch reflect contrasting perspectives on exogamy that may be explained, at least in part, by the conflicts over suitable marriage alliances among the inhabitants of Persian Yehud. 4 [3] Some Torah narratives imply that to marry within certain defined groups is to preserve the community's religious vitality and ethnic identity-defined as mutually informing. Other texts, in contrast, demonstrate that sentiments and prohibitions against "foreigners" must be set aside because the new Israel is a religious community. These texts affirm that outsiders contributed to the establishment of Israel.

These Scriptures show that God altered the election, blessing, or judgment that God had planned, or they announce that God will “change God’s mind” inresponse to human action. Thus, in the cases God’s plans depend on human response,they must be classified as God’s hopes. This in no way implies that God does not plan certain outcomes—and carry out them out, regardless of the actions of particular humans, because God is free to use<br />other <br /> people if such plans require human cooperation. God’sfreedom is never restricted—even by God’s self. Although God is characterized as revealing the future in certain cases, usually these passages are conditional and always must be understood together with the many Scriptures that represent the hope of God in the people of God rather than God’s foreknowledge of the future as actual.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="8e80ce2a2b5a2b27e422d7fdfa0f5b71" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":65210513,"asset_id":44727368,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/65210513/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44727368"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44727368"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44727368;

Figuration is an approach to the entire Scriptural canon by scholars (scribes) thoroughly aware of the benefits of historical, form, and redaction criticism (old treasures), but who also recognize their limits—what these approaches do not admit methodologically: that Scripture is a living document for living faith communities. Figuration finds meanings to texts that the author could not have known (new treasures), but to which the shape of the canon points. Figuration uses Scripture to make sense of later events and movements and highlights the significance of Scripture’s own reuse of texts—its intertextuality—to make meaning for present and later recipients.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="7e1e5b4690becc7f846226bc3dc48c53" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":64024911,"asset_id":43717824,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/64024911/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="43717824"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="43717824"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 43717824;

This study remarks on the historical and theological developments of evangelicalism in the United States broadly and the role of women within these movements in order to discuss the relationship of evangelical feminists and feminist biblical scholarship. It also elaborates on how evangelical scholars integrate feminist biblical work into their teaching and research and concludes by evaluating the evangelical discussion on feminism, gender, and women.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="664b9dac41c3ae44ecd20a77e86f15fa" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":60197595,"asset_id":40005286,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/60197595/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="40005286"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="40005286"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 40005286;

Ultimately, the LORD affirmed both Moses’ unique prophetic status and his exogamy. .

However, early Jewish and Christian interpreters of the Roman period supplement their rewrites of Moses’ story with Moses’ sexual renunciation and the claim that God confirmed his decision. This motif is found in writings from Jewish communities in Egypt, Palestine, and Babylon. The writings of Aphrahat, Ephrem, Jerome, and other Christian sages of late antiquity demonstrate that influential Christians inherited the view that contact with God precluded sexual contact with humans. Jews insisted that Moses’ abstinence was for him alone, whereas early Christian interpreters appealed to this tradition to urge all Christians, but especially clergy, to avoid sex, even if they were married, in order to be always prepared for prayer and priestly duties.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="b4d42b7ded7f078654a99d424a3d7994" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":52317890,"asset_id":32057804,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/52317890/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="32057804"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="32057804"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 32057804;

For example, throughout his commentaries he uses qal vehomer (a fortiori) arguments, his treatment of Genesis appeals to Jewish traditions about Paradise, and he identifies Sarah with Iscah, her name in the Midrash: Sifre to Numbers.  Aggadic traditions from the Targumim and Midrashim also abound in Ephrem’s Commentary of Exodus, which he calls a tûrgāmâ, an “explanation.”  Motifs developed in the Mekilta and Sifre to Numbers (both redacted 250-300 C.E.) and in the Targumim appear in Ephrem’s interpretation of Exodus. <br />Although difficult to ascertain whether these are the result of encounters with Jewish teachers and/or Jewish texts, or if they emerged from comparable modes of interpretation between Jews and Christians of Syria, it is clear that Ephrem deliberately adopted Jewish traditions that were useful to his agendas. Ephrem also innovates, presenting exegetical elements in his Commentary on Exodus not represented in Jewish Midrashim or Targumim. For example, when “Sephora” circumcised her son, she claimed that the commandment of circumcision should be sufficient reason for Moses’ release. An appeal to the power of the commandment of circumcision is similar to the emphasis of the Mekilta and Palestinian Targumim. When Ephrem’s Moses could speak, he defended his practice of sexual continence to Zipporah—he must “sanctify” himself for God who is visible to him all the time. Finding Moses’ sexual renunciation in Exod 4.24-6 and basing it on the visibility of God is Ephrem’s innovation.  <br />Furthermore, a study of Ephrem on this passage and the parallels with Jewish texts shows that Judaism included ascetic elements, some of which were explicitly based on the passages in the Jewish Scriptures that imply that sex and manifestations of God are incompatible (Exod 19.15 and 1 Sam 21.4). These Jewish texts and the cultures they represent may help explain the Syrian equation of sexual continence with purity, preparation, and consecration, i.e., holiness. Certain Qumran texts,  the Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, Philo, rabbinic Midrashim, and  writings of eastern Christians further demonstrate that early Christian celibacy was grounded in Jewish traditions.  The Neo-Platonic dualism that became popular among western Christians of the fourth and fifth centuries cannot be considered the source for influencing later Christianity with the celibate ideal.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="3e615cf12a8db374e31e52cabb4e79ed" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":52317861,"asset_id":32057778,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/52317861/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="32057778"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="32057778"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 32057778;

Although other nations practiced circumcision, in Israel's story, circumcision became the sign of the covenant between Abraham and his descendants, according to God’s directive to Abraham in Genesis 17: 9-27). Even male infants born to Israelites were not sons of the covenant until they were circumcised on the eighth day.  Like sacrifice (of which it is a type), circumcision was a primary way Israelite/Jewish males legalized their bonds to one another and to God. The status of Israelite/Jewish females in relation to Israel is not addressed in the Bible. Females could never be sons of the covenant; they were part of Israel because they were attached to circumcised males. Females were excluded from other insider-creating and confirming rituals such as offering sacrifices, another blood-letting, communal, kinship-creating rite (see Ex. 18; 24:9-11). Surprisingly, a female, Moses’ Midianite wife Zipporah, performed a circumcision that saved Moses life from the Lord’s attempt to take it (Ex. 4:24-6). This act made her legal kin to Moses (hatan damin, in-law relation of blood), a relation that was otherwise the sole province of males.  She thus became bound to Moses, whereas her marriage  had united Moses to her father, Exod 2:21, 18:1-7).  <br /> Zipporah and the redactor claimed that she was doubly related to Moses, the second time through blood (which was a means to establish legal relations).<br />Early Jewish and Christian interpreters do not notice or underscore the text’s repeated interpretation of the incident: that Zipporah—an outsider woman—had thereby become in-law kin to Moses through her salvific (for Moses) bloodletting of her son. None of them saw in Ex. 4:24-6 a biblical precedent for inclusion and embrace of Others, which, I argue is the point for the biblical redactor.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="827d1aeeae476fbac45e6cb5dd929bd2" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":50458797,"asset_id":30001975,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50458797/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="30001975"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="30001975"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 30001975;

Zipporah’s circumcision of her son in Exodus 4 is the climax of a pattern in which females thwart attacks on endangered males. Later, Zipporah’s Midianite father confessed faith in Moses’ God and ate a meal with Israel in the presence of God. Zipporah and her father represent a household that originated outside of Israel’s ideological boundaries, but became positively allied to Israel through marriage, circumcision, confession, and sacrifice. This and similar stories suggest that, among those who selected and shaped the narratives of the Tanakh, there was considerable and persuasive dissent from what has often been assumed to be the dominant position in Second Temple Judaism. This paper is a precursor to a book that explores the origins of circumcision, celibacy and textual ethnicity construction, as well as Jewish and Christian interpretations of Moses’ exogamy.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="24a8281085a45eac5c3df4ebd6ad47da" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":50458712,"asset_id":30001844,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50458712/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="30001844"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="30001844"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 30001844;

Biblical “Others” show Israel how anyone, anywhere can walk with God in faithfulness; Others model how Israel should live before God. They shame Israel by their faithfulness, determination, wits, and awe of God. A passage that governs this discussion of mostly Hebrew Bible/Old Testament texts is Luke 4:16-30. It depicts, in an inaugural moment, Jesus referencing stories about Elijah and Elisha helping Others. He did not tell a story about Israel triumphing enemies. This proved controversial. Had Jesus referenced Scriptural traditions about captive Israel outsmarting oppressors, his neighbors would have continued to laud him. Instead they attempted to rush him over a cliff.<br />Genesis narratives and genealogies show that Israel and Others have their origins in common, but, as the story moves forward, Israel is separated from these Others (Gen 10-12).  By defining Others through traditions about origins, Israel defined itself.  Yet we also see that shared experiences, faith in Israel’s god, and/or a desire to join Israel brought Others into Israel and coalesced people who were not descended from Abraham (Gen 38; 41:45, 48; Exod 2-4; 12:38; Josh 2; 8; 24; Num 10, Ezra 6; Ruth, and etc.).  From the Torah, we hear how God encountered Others (Gen 16, 21; Exod 2-4; 18; Num 10; and passim). We learn God’s thoughts concerning Others in the Prophets and Psalms (Amos 5:8-9; Isa 55:5; Ps 87:4). We watch how Jesus treated Others in the New Testament (e.g. Mk 7:24-30). From these Scriptures, we learn how to weigh and interpret the portions of Scripture that depict some Others as a threat to be avoided or ruined (Deut 7:2-4). And we learn the purpose for Israel’s distinctiveness, the meaning of Israel’s holiness. This essay explores the implications of Israel’s identity and purpose.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="6eb3f05fc58804429a34b75e797c3298" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":50457965,"asset_id":30000942,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50457965/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="30000942"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="30000942"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 30000942;

Although we know that other nations practiced circumcision, for Israel, circumcision turned male outsiders into insiders and demonstrated those who were outsiders to Israel. Circumcision became the sign of the covenant between Abraham and his descendants according to God’s directive to Abraham in Genesis 17: 9-14. All males of the household were to be circumcised, regardless of their geographic or genetic origins, lest they be “cut off” from their people (Gen. 17:23-27). Even male infants born to Israelites were not sons of the covenant until they were circumcised on the eighth day.  Like sacrifice (of which it is a type), circumcision was a primary way Israelite/Jewish males legalized their bonds to one another and to God. Females were attached to circumcised males, but could never be sons of the covenant. This paper shows how the church fathers interpreted circumcision as a foreshadowing of baptism and how women fared with a new ritual system of initiation into the new covenant.S</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="8e3d2d637e35762c665fd87cb378fc9b" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":44902228,"asset_id":24573253,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/44902228/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="24573253"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="24573253"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 24573253;

The Bible cannot address issues about which the writers knew little or nothing. Our current worldviews are the result of technology not available to biblical scribes who were interested in theology, Israel's story, and identity, and encounters with the divine.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="5af66dfaf3b183826c04b364cd01e6ee" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":44578070,"asset_id":24243074,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/44578070/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="24243074"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="24243074"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 24243074;

Although egalitarians recognize that Scripture represents patriarchal interests, their interpretations highlight the positive depictions of women in the Bible. They claim that many women figures disrupt traditional interpretations of gender. This position contrasts to complementarian biblical interpretations that use the Bible to restrict women from ecclesial leadership, without attention to textual and historical contexts that mitigate universal application. Christian egalitarians also contribute to feminism’s concern about women’s global equality via social media campaigns, organizations, blogs, and scholarship. The essay discusses relevant examples to show that all of them focus on women’s experiences in church, biblical teaching, and Christian feminist identity.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="109602304"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="109602304"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 109602304;

als zentral wurde in dieser Erzählung in Numeri 12 der Wunsch von Miriam und Aaron nach Gleichbehandlung mit Moses gesehen. Frühere Exegeten dieses Textes hingegen konnten einen Zusammenhang zwischen Moses' kuschitischer Frau und der Auseinandersetzung über die Prophetie aufgezeigt. Ich bin auch der Meinung, dass die Verse 1 und 2 im Kontext von Numeri 12 miteinander verbunden sind. Gott bestätigt sowohl den einzigartigen prophetischen Status von Mose, als auch seine Heirat mit einer fremden Frau in den drauffolgenden Versen von Numeri 12. So kann Numeri 12 mit anderen Texten der Tora und des jüdischen Schrifttums verglichen werden, die Esras und Nehemias Strategie "fremde Frauen" abzulehnen und Exogamie zu verbieten, ablehnen.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="c5b970e5b97facda322ca9e54bbbba2d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":105991168,"asset_id":107278819,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/105991168/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="107278819"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="107278819"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 107278819;

Zipporah's circumcision of her son in Exodus 4 is the climax of a pattern in which females thwart attacks on endangered males. Later, Zipporah's father confessed faith in Moses' God and ate a meal with Israel in the presence of God. Zipporah and her father represent a household that originated outside of Israel's ideological boundaries, but became positively allied to Israel through marriage, circumcision, confession, and sacrifice. This and similar stories suggest that, among those who selected and shaped the narratives of the Tanakh, there was considerable and persuasive dissent from what has often been assumed to be the dominant position in Second Temple Judaism. [2] Recently several scholars have applied modern theories of ethnicity to post-exilic Jewish history, connecting the formation of the Jewish Scriptures to the identity crises brought by exile and resettlement in the Babylonian and Persian periods. Some emphasize the concern exhibited in these texts with Israel's religious identity and the distinctions between Israel and other peoples. 1 Others seek to link certain biblical narratives to the economic and property issues resulting from exile resettlement and Persian policies and politics. 2 I am interested in the relevance of wife-taking traditions throughout the Hebrew Bible to the social tensions over identity formation and ethnicity construction among the Jews who processed these traditions and produced a set of scriptures. I maintain that diverse wife-taking stories found across the range of Torah, Prophets, and Writings are best explained, not by positing stages in the development of marriage customs over the range of Israel's history, but rather as representative of distinct perspectives on exogamy among the scribes who redacted them. 3 I am arguing that narratives and law codes in the Pentateuch reflect contrasting perspectives on exogamy that may be explained, at least in part, by the conflicts over suitable marriage alliances among the inhabitants of Persian Yehud. 4 [3] Some Torah narratives imply that to marry within certain defined groups is to preserve the community's religious vitality and ethnic identity-defined as mutually informing. Other texts, in contrast, demonstrate that sentiments and prohibitions against "foreigners" must be set aside because the new Israel is a religious community. These texts affirm that outsiders contributed to the establishment of Israel.

These Scriptures show that God altered the election, blessing, or judgment that God had planned, or they announce that God will “change God’s mind” inresponse to human action. Thus, in the cases God’s plans depend on human response,they must be classified as God’s hopes. This in no way implies that God does not plan certain outcomes—and carry out them out, regardless of the actions of particular humans, because God is free to use<br />other <br /> people if such plans require human cooperation. God’sfreedom is never restricted—even by God’s self. Although God is characterized as revealing the future in certain cases, usually these passages are conditional and always must be understood together with the many Scriptures that represent the hope of God in the people of God rather than God’s foreknowledge of the future as actual.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="8e80ce2a2b5a2b27e422d7fdfa0f5b71" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":65210513,"asset_id":44727368,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/65210513/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44727368"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44727368"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44727368;

Figuration is an approach to the entire Scriptural canon by scholars (scribes) thoroughly aware of the benefits of historical, form, and redaction criticism (old treasures), but who also recognize their limits—what these approaches do not admit methodologically: that Scripture is a living document for living faith communities. Figuration finds meanings to texts that the author could not have known (new treasures), but to which the shape of the canon points. Figuration uses Scripture to make sense of later events and movements and highlights the significance of Scripture’s own reuse of texts—its intertextuality—to make meaning for present and later recipients.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="7e1e5b4690becc7f846226bc3dc48c53" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":64024911,"asset_id":43717824,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/64024911/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="43717824"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="43717824"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 43717824;

This study remarks on the historical and theological developments of evangelicalism in the United States broadly and the role of women within these movements in order to discuss the relationship of evangelical feminists and feminist biblical scholarship. It also elaborates on how evangelical scholars integrate feminist biblical work into their teaching and research and concludes by evaluating the evangelical discussion on feminism, gender, and women.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="664b9dac41c3ae44ecd20a77e86f15fa" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":60197595,"asset_id":40005286,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/60197595/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="40005286"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="40005286"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 40005286;

However, early Jewish and Christian interpreters of the Roman period supplement their rewrites of Moses’ story with Moses’ sexual renunciation and the claim that God confirmed his decision. This motif is found in writings from Jewish communities in Egypt, Palestine, and Babylon. The writings of Aphrahat, Ephrem, Jerome, and other Christian sages of late antiquity demonstrate that influential Christians inherited the view that contact with God precluded sexual contact with humans. Jews insisted that Moses’ abstinence was for him alone, whereas early Christian interpreters appealed to this tradition to urge all Christians, but especially clergy, to avoid sex, even if they were married, in order to be always prepared for prayer and priestly duties.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="b4d42b7ded7f078654a99d424a3d7994" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":52317890,"asset_id":32057804,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/52317890/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="32057804"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="32057804"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 32057804;

For example, throughout his commentaries he uses qal vehomer (a fortiori) arguments, his treatment of Genesis appeals to Jewish traditions about Paradise, and he identifies Sarah with Iscah, her name in the Midrash: Sifre to Numbers.  Aggadic traditions from the Targumim and Midrashim also abound in Ephrem’s Commentary of Exodus, which he calls a tûrgāmâ, an “explanation.”  Motifs developed in the Mekilta and Sifre to Numbers (both redacted 250-300 C.E.) and in the Targumim appear in Ephrem’s interpretation of Exodus. <br />Although difficult to ascertain whether these are the result of encounters with Jewish teachers and/or Jewish texts, or if they emerged from comparable modes of interpretation between Jews and Christians of Syria, it is clear that Ephrem deliberately adopted Jewish traditions that were useful to his agendas. Ephrem also innovates, presenting exegetical elements in his Commentary on Exodus not represented in Jewish Midrashim or Targumim. For example, when “Sephora” circumcised her son, she claimed that the commandment of circumcision should be sufficient reason for Moses’ release. An appeal to the power of the commandment of circumcision is similar to the emphasis of the Mekilta and Palestinian Targumim. When Ephrem’s Moses could speak, he defended his practice of sexual continence to Zipporah—he must “sanctify” himself for God who is visible to him all the time. Finding Moses’ sexual renunciation in Exod 4.24-6 and basing it on the visibility of God is Ephrem’s innovation.  <br />Furthermore, a study of Ephrem on this passage and the parallels with Jewish texts shows that Judaism included ascetic elements, some of which were explicitly based on the passages in the Jewish Scriptures that imply that sex and manifestations of God are incompatible (Exod 19.15 and 1 Sam 21.4). These Jewish texts and the cultures they represent may help explain the Syrian equation of sexual continence with purity, preparation, and consecration, i.e., holiness. Certain Qumran texts,  the Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, Philo, rabbinic Midrashim, and  writings of eastern Christians further demonstrate that early Christian celibacy was grounded in Jewish traditions.  The Neo-Platonic dualism that became popular among western Christians of the fourth and fifth centuries cannot be considered the source for influencing later Christianity with the celibate ideal.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="3e615cf12a8db374e31e52cabb4e79ed" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":52317861,"asset_id":32057778,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/52317861/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="32057778"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="32057778"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 32057778;

Although other nations practiced circumcision, in Israel's story, circumcision became the sign of the covenant between Abraham and his descendants, according to God’s directive to Abraham in Genesis 17: 9-27). Even male infants born to Israelites were not sons of the covenant until they were circumcised on the eighth day.  Like sacrifice (of which it is a type), circumcision was a primary way Israelite/Jewish males legalized their bonds to one another and to God. The status of Israelite/Jewish females in relation to Israel is not addressed in the Bible. Females could never be sons of the covenant; they were part of Israel because they were attached to circumcised males. Females were excluded from other insider-creating and confirming rituals such as offering sacrifices, another blood-letting, communal, kinship-creating rite (see Ex. 18; 24:9-11). Surprisingly, a female, Moses’ Midianite wife Zipporah, performed a circumcision that saved Moses life from the Lord’s attempt to take it (Ex. 4:24-6). This act made her legal kin to Moses (hatan damin, in-law relation of blood), a relation that was otherwise the sole province of males.  She thus became bound to Moses, whereas her marriage  had united Moses to her father, Exod 2:21, 18:1-7).  <br /> Zipporah and the redactor claimed that she was doubly related to Moses, the second time through blood (which was a means to establish legal relations).<br />Early Jewish and Christian interpreters do not notice or underscore the text’s repeated interpretation of the incident: that Zipporah—an outsider woman—had thereby become in-law kin to Moses through her salvific (for Moses) bloodletting of her son. None of them saw in Ex. 4:24-6 a biblical precedent for inclusion and embrace of Others, which, I argue is the point for the biblical redactor.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="827d1aeeae476fbac45e6cb5dd929bd2" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":50458797,"asset_id":30001975,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50458797/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="30001975"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="30001975"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 30001975;

Zipporah’s circumcision of her son in Exodus 4 is the climax of a pattern in which females thwart attacks on endangered males. Later, Zipporah’s Midianite father confessed faith in Moses’ God and ate a meal with Israel in the presence of God. Zipporah and her father represent a household that originated outside of Israel’s ideological boundaries, but became positively allied to Israel through marriage, circumcision, confession, and sacrifice. This and similar stories suggest that, among those who selected and shaped the narratives of the Tanakh, there was considerable and persuasive dissent from what has often been assumed to be the dominant position in Second Temple Judaism. This paper is a precursor to a book that explores the origins of circumcision, celibacy and textual ethnicity construction, as well as Jewish and Christian interpretations of Moses’ exogamy.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="24a8281085a45eac5c3df4ebd6ad47da" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":50458712,"asset_id":30001844,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50458712/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="30001844"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="30001844"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 30001844;

Biblical “Others” show Israel how anyone, anywhere can walk with God in faithfulness; Others model how Israel should live before God. They shame Israel by their faithfulness, determination, wits, and awe of God. A passage that governs this discussion of mostly Hebrew Bible/Old Testament texts is Luke 4:16-30. It depicts, in an inaugural moment, Jesus referencing stories about Elijah and Elisha helping Others. He did not tell a story about Israel triumphing enemies. This proved controversial. Had Jesus referenced Scriptural traditions about captive Israel outsmarting oppressors, his neighbors would have continued to laud him. Instead they attempted to rush him over a cliff.<br />Genesis narratives and genealogies show that Israel and Others have their origins in common, but, as the story moves forward, Israel is separated from these Others (Gen 10-12).  By defining Others through traditions about origins, Israel defined itself.  Yet we also see that shared experiences, faith in Israel’s god, and/or a desire to join Israel brought Others into Israel and coalesced people who were not descended from Abraham (Gen 38; 41:45, 48; Exod 2-4; 12:38; Josh 2; 8; 24; Num 10, Ezra 6; Ruth, and etc.).  From the Torah, we hear how God encountered Others (Gen 16, 21; Exod 2-4; 18; Num 10; and passim). We learn God’s thoughts concerning Others in the Prophets and Psalms (Amos 5:8-9; Isa 55:5; Ps 87:4). We watch how Jesus treated Others in the New Testament (e.g. Mk 7:24-30). From these Scriptures, we learn how to weigh and interpret the portions of Scripture that depict some Others as a threat to be avoided or ruined (Deut 7:2-4). And we learn the purpose for Israel’s distinctiveness, the meaning of Israel’s holiness. This essay explores the implications of Israel’s identity and purpose.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="6eb3f05fc58804429a34b75e797c3298" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":50457965,"asset_id":30000942,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50457965/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="30000942"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="30000942"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 30000942;

Although we know that other nations practiced circumcision, for Israel, circumcision turned male outsiders into insiders and demonstrated those who were outsiders to Israel. Circumcision became the sign of the covenant between Abraham and his descendants according to God’s directive to Abraham in Genesis 17: 9-14. All males of the household were to be circumcised, regardless of their geographic or genetic origins, lest they be “cut off” from their people (Gen. 17:23-27). Even male infants born to Israelites were not sons of the covenant until they were circumcised on the eighth day.  Like sacrifice (of which it is a type), circumcision was a primary way Israelite/Jewish males legalized their bonds to one another and to God. Females were attached to circumcised males, but could never be sons of the covenant. This paper shows how the church fathers interpreted circumcision as a foreshadowing of baptism and how women fared with a new ritual system of initiation into the new covenant.S</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="8e3d2d637e35762c665fd87cb378fc9b" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":44902228,"asset_id":24573253,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/44902228/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="24573253"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="24573253"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 24573253;

Earth always means land or region in the Bible--never a planet. Heavens usually refers to seen and unseen skies, sky.  The Bible was produced long before the discoveries of modern science began to influence human worldviews and understandings of cosmology and life sciences. The Bible cannot address issues about which the writers knew little or nothing. Our current worldviews are the result of technology not available to biblical scribes who were interested in theology, Israel's story, and identity, and encounters with the divine.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="5af66dfaf3b183826c04b364cd01e6ee" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":44578070,"asset_id":24243074,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/44578070/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="24243074"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="24243074"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 24243074;

Women serve, leave, encounter God, hear God, and speak to God. They also, like the rest of Israel, suffer exile and experience restoration, healing, salvation. They accept Christ’s commissioning to make disciples, and receive the Holy Spirit (Joel 2:28, Acts 1:14—2:4, 17). <br />Biblical narratives depict both insider (to Israel) and outsider women as preserving God’s people through unusual and aggressive means. For example, Tamar, a Canaanite, pretended to be a prostitute and thus preserved the line of Judah (Gen 38). Hebrews, Midianites, and Egyptians rescued Moses, the deliverer. We’ll be talking about the two named midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, Moses’ mother, sister, and Pharaoh’s daughter, all rescued Moses from infanticide (Exod. 1-2). Later, his wife, Zipporah, a Midianite, saved Moses’ life –from the LORD—when she circumcised their son (Exod. 4:24-26).</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="05798aa75183d17125b3d9b1517d9571" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":89130784,"asset_id":83946306,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/89130784/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="83946306"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="83946306"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 83946306;

These Scriptures show that God altered the election, blessing, or judgment that God had planned, or they announce that God will "change God's mind" in response to human action. Thus, in the cases God's plans depend on human response, they must be classified as God's hopes. This in no way implies that God does not plan certain outcomes-and carry out them out, regardless of the actions of particular humans, because God is free to use other people if such plans require human cooperation. God's freedom is never restricted-even by God's self. Although God is characterized as revealing the future in certain cases, usually these passages are conditional and always must be understood together with the many Scriptures that represent the hope of God in the people of God rather than God's foreknowledge of the future as actual. Paper The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the plain sense of passages that are representative of most of Scripture. I do not advocate a simplistic interpretive approach of the examined passages that does not allow for understanding literary and historical contexts, cultural particulars, and authorial agendas. But we should be clear about what the Scripture is saying, and use a wide range of Scriptures to develop our theology. Although our view of God must be informed by reason and philosophy, tradition, and experience, Scripture centered communities of faith cannot ignore the evidence that the biblical writers depict God discovering, learning, and responding to human choices and</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="ea4d5b660230ca4d045a2aa8a456883e" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":65209879,"asset_id":44726874,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/65209879/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44726874"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44726874"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44726874;

The foundational story of Scripture is that they are free to not sin. They have the ability to master sin.<br />In this paper, I show how the Garden story of Gen 3 and Cain’s story in Gen 4 illustrate a condition necessary for ethical behavior—the ability to choose based on an ability to anticipate consequences, make value judgments, and determine alternative courses of action.  In addition, the halakic legislation of Deuteronomy assumes that people can choose to ignore or choose to adopt the covenant, which is the reason each generation must be careful to transmit the moral codes found Stherein. Thus Torah stories not only provide an example of cultural transmission of morality, but also emphasize original choice, not original sin.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="5036f4534145846c66ed12f5085724a8" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":44197522,"asset_id":23778135,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/44197522/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="23778135"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="23778135"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 23778135;

It is for the unconvinced, but curious, as well as for those who oppose feminist theology, egalitarian exegesis, and ecclesial practice. Imagining Equity documents sexism in antiquity and demonstrates the traditions and conventions that continue to influence contemporary perspectives on gender. <br />Turning to the Scriptures, she shows that equality in ministry is scriptural, Wesleyan, and essential for women, children, and men throughout the world's communities. She further explains to Christians why feminist theology is needed for faith communities today. This book also provides an entry into discussions about the intersection of gender, race, ethnicity, class, and economic disparities among people groups around the world. Imagining Equity is based on essays and lectures prepared for Winslow’s Women in the Bible and Christian Tradition courses beginning in 1990, as well as other updated publications and presentations.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="c52870808fac62e05000b506def67ef2" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":89131063,"asset_id":83946674,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/89131063/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="83946674"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="83946674"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 83946674;

I will argue that the Akedah served apologetic purposes for Persian period Jews. These scribes were establishing an identity for their community by producing a history from traditions and texts they received and composed. As the apology goes, Abraham, the father of all Jews, sacrificed his dearest possession—his beloved son—to God. However, from God’s side, it was only a test. YHWH, unlike other gods, did not desire Isaac’s blood or ashes, but the man selected to be the father of the Jews could be no less devoted to his god than the pious of surrounding cultures who sacrificed their children. </span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="e76ad178db7b3c8865738cfd1c130a4d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":89130914,"asset_id":83946482,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/89130914/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="83946482"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="83946482"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 83946482;
