Torah Class    Old Testament Bible Study for a New Testament Understanding

Torah is the Hebrew word for the first 5 books of the Bible and it is the foundation of the Old Testament just as the Old Testament is the foundation of the New. The Old Testament (Tanach) is the Holy Scripture that Jesus (Yeshua, in Hebrew) taught from, and His Disciples referred to, since there was no New Testament until well after the time of the Apostles that succeeded Him. The Old and New Testaments are inseparable and only when used together do we have a complete, unified, divinely-inspired Bible. Torah Class cross-references the Torah and Old Testament passages with New Testament passages to reveal their seamless continuity.

 

 

Early Models and Maps of Jerusalem  One of the finest maps made in the nineteenth century was a map drawn by a British Soldier, Captain C. Wilson, in the year 1864-1865. Wilson created two maps. The first is a map of the Old City (scale 1:2500) and the second of Jerusalem's surrounding (scale 1:100000). These maps were the basis to all others made later, until the First World War when Jerusalem was photographed from the air.

Ethics as Deconstruction, and, The Ethics of Deconstruction  David JA Clines   Looks at an exegetical perspective, Ethics as Deconstruction, and a  theoretical perspective, The Ethics of Deconstruction in an effort to show that literary and philosophical deconstruction has more ethical effect than is commonly supposed.
 

Evidence for an Autumnal New Year in Pre-exilic Israel Reconsidered, The   David JA Clines A study of the point at which the new year was reckoned to begin in the calendar of pre-exilic Israel and Judah.

 

New Year  David JA Clines   The date of New Year in Israel depended on the calendar employed from time to time. In post-biblical times a festival of New Year was in existence; the character of that festival is well attested in  rabbinic sources but the nature and even the existence of such a festival in pre-exilic times remains hypothetical.

 

Regnal Year Reckoning in the Last Years of the Kingdom of Judah  David JA Clines  Asks was the calendar year in Israel and Judah reckoned from the spring or the autumn? The majority verdict has come to be that throughout most of the monarchical period an autumnal calendar was employed for civil, religious and royal purposes and explores the several variations on this view.

Methods in Old Testament Study  David JA Clines  Methods are a means to an end; so before one can speak of methods in academic Old Testament study, one must speak of goals in Old Testament study.

Sacred Space, Holy Places and Suchlike  David JA Clines  Explores sacred space, a category lifted from the workbench of the phenomenologist of religions. In real life we encounter sacred space as holy places, familiar objects to us as Bible readers and perhaps even also as denizens of the contemporary world and argues that it is a category that deserves not only a phenomenological analysis but also a critical theological scrutiny.

 

Squares and Streets: The Distinction of rehov 'Square' and rehovot 'Streets'  David JA Clines  sets out to show that there is in Classical Hebrew a distinction, not observed by the lexica, between the singular word b/jr", meaning 'square, open place', usually immediately inside the town gate, and the plural word t/bjor", meaning 'street' of a town.

 

Varieties of Indeterminacy   David JA Clines  explores the indeterminacies he finds himself involved in across several different areas. He concludes that he encounters varieties of indeterminacy, an indeterminacy of indeterminacies, and suggests possible reasons for his apparent yearning for determinate meanings in one project and his abandonment to multiple and indeterminate meanings in another.
 

Was There an 'bl II 'be dry' in Classical Hebrew?   David JA Clines examines the introduction of  'bl II 'be dry', in modern exica postulated for Classical Hebrew on the basis of the Akkadian abålu 'be dry'
