Who led the building of the Tower of Babel, and what impact did it have on later human society? The Bible has no direct interpretation, thus making it available for the reader to interpret. Based on the biblical commentaries and other rabbinical texts related to the Tower of Babel incident, this article puts forward the argument that the Tower of Babel is a watershed of human moral civilization and discusses it from the three aspects: the event of Tower of Babel brings two types of religion bases (Human-based and God-based), brings two philosophical categories (theocentrism and anthropocentrism), and brings the two cultural societies (Babel style and Abraham styles), which conducts some analysis around the theme from three sources that influence the definition of morality: religious belief, philosophy, and culture.","PeriodicalId":373844,"journal":{"name":"BIBLICAL STUDIES JOURNAL","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127535843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thereafter there is a stated implication arising out of the dialogues. Using a literary-theological approach, this work discusses analytically the metaphoric and spiritual nature of Jesus’ directive to Peter to feed his sheep. This article argues that the verbs used for love in verses 15-17 may have different nuances, however, the contrast is not the focus of the dialogue. The priests who, like Peter, can truly claim that the love Jesus based on their closeness to Jesus and sound knowledge of his teaching are also asked to continue feeding or giving life to the hungry sheep of Jesus through adequate approach to evengelisation.

God in the Midst of Pandemic COVID-19: Reflections based on John 5:1-181 COVID-19大流行中的上帝:基于约翰福音5:1-181的反思

A contextual interpretation of the passage provides us several new insights and a new perspective that takes into account the struggles of the people and other existential realities. The invalid person who was lying by the pool of Bethesda undergoes a breathless situation as he was undergoing continuous frustration over a period of 38 long years. Though he was ill, enduring a prolonged quarantine, living in social isolation, widely treated as unclean, and resilient to the situation of a ‘life camp,’ Jesus liberated his life from clutches and transformed him toward a hopeful future age. In today’s context, the healed man’s story can be considered as a paradigm for the church to follow the words and deeds of Jesus and to engage in the ministry of liberation and transformation. Moreover, the story provides hope for all who are undergoing untoward situations in life during the COVID-19 pandemic context. The man stands tall as a representative of the afflicted, persecuted, and the dehumanized sections of our society. The transformation happened in his life can be considered as a paradigm in the contemporary human situations.

JURIDICAL IMPLICATIONS OF ISRAEL AND GIBEONITES’ TREATY IN JOSHUA 9:3-27: HONOURING ONE’S PROMISE 约书亚记9:3-27中以色列人和基遍人的条约的法律含义:履行自己的承诺

It should also promote human values, especially faithfulness, and trust. However, this goal is farfetched. Nowadays, it remains difficult to know which principles and values humanity still holds on to because of the constant breaking of vows and promises. The Gibeonites’ ruse shows human deception to honor its promises, and this endangers human society and its values. The failure to honor the promises threatens human society, for it brings about a lack of confidence and trust. Joshua’s faithfulness to the treaty calls for human faithfulness to its life commitment that promotes human and divine values. Faithfulness to treaties leads to the finding and confirmation of God’s perpetual presence and actions in human life. The paper calls on humanity to honor its promises and vows as a way of building a better human society grounded in faithfulness and confidence.","PeriodicalId":373844,"journal":{"name":"BIBLICAL STUDIES JOURNAL","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132006453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

READING THE FOURTH GOSPEL IN THE SOUTH ASIAN CONTEXT 在南亚的背景下阅读第四卷福音书

As John’s Gospel has the potential to appeal to and accommodate the spirituality of South Asia, a re-reading of the Gospel is possible through the means of a crosspollination of ideas. The four major parts of the Gospel, i.e., the Prologue, the Book of Signs, the Book of Glory, and the Epilogue, demonstrate several cultural and ideological parallels with that of the South Asian realities. A reading that encourages religio-cultural sensitivity can be a required formative factor in the process of interpreting the Fourth Gospel. Some of the key aspects of the Gospel such as the theme of discipleship, the sign language, the “I AM” Sayings, the characters and the characterization, mystical expressions, and dualistic tendencies can be dynamically interlocked within the South Asian ideological and cultural aspects. The universalistic language of the Gospel can have a special appeal to the common realities of the South Asian people.","PeriodicalId":373844,"journal":{"name":"BIBLICAL STUDIES JOURNAL","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133962925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study presupposes that the nexus between the Romans and the Jewish religious leaders is pivotal in the Jewish uprising against the Romans. Some of the issues that are taken into consideration in the study include the socio-economic, religious, political, and military aspects of the nexus between the Jewish religious leaders and the Romans. As a corollary to their nexus, the Romans demanded heavy taxation from the Jews. The high priest became greedy and often failed to engage in his religious duties. Therefore, the unhappy masses rose against the Roman rulers and their associates in 66-70 CE. But one must keep in mind that this study only serves as a general study on the issues related to the nexus between the Jewish religious leaders and the Romans. A detailed study would demand a much longer paper.","PeriodicalId":373844,"journal":{"name":"BIBLICAL STUDIES JOURNAL","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131794024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prophet’s message was mostly warnings, but there is a note of hope in the form of sincere repentance and asking for God's forgiveness, followed by a renewed commitment to the Lord. The people of Israel may find forgiveness and restoration to God’s favour and blessings. The prophet Hosea was instructed by God to symbolically prophesy to the Israelites about their disobedience to His call, and they would be punished if they did not return to the Lord their God. The prophecy is aptly represented in the marriage of Hosea to an adulterous woman, Gomer. God, represented by Hosea, had a covenant with Israel, but the latter turned him over to other gods. God foretold the punishment that would befall Israel, as well as the mercy that would befall them if they repented and returned to him through Hosea. The prophet’s message speaks of God’s steadfast love, portrayed through the suffering husband of an unfaithful wife. Hosea’s message is also considered a warning to them, and they will turn their backs on God’s love. Through the symbolic presentation of the marriage of Hosea and Gomer, God’s love for the idolatrous nation of Israel is displayed in a rich metaphor. This essay explains how the message of Hosea is relevant in the present context.","PeriodicalId":373844,"journal":{"name":"BIBLICAL STUDIES JOURNAL","volume":"139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133699519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Christianity is, therefore, expected to influence the character of most people in the world. But recent happenings prove otherwise. This research sought to examine how Christian eschatology might impact the public sphere from a Ghanaian socio-religious perspective. The researchers used qualitative research that employs the conceptual analysis approach. During the research, the researchers found out that scanty information exists in academia when it comes to eschatology in Africa. Another finding is a wake up calls on the church to review its eschatological position in the light of sound biblical interpretation. As eschatology influences the theological position of almost all doctrines and practices of the church, it is crucial for the church to revisit its eschatological doctrines and examine its biblical foundations. The research provided lessons and guiding principles for the Ghanaian Christian community.","PeriodicalId":373844,"journal":{"name":"BIBLICAL STUDIES JOURNAL","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123909889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This fact is undeniable because it is among the most widely researched, variously interpreted, and intensely debated biblical texts. Exegetical method is adopted for the best interpretation of the context of the Bible for appropriate and adequate meaning. The most widely accepted interpretation is its relation to the first advent of our savior Jesus Christ. The current study debunks this popular view by bringing in a completely new but scholarly and historically supported interpretation linking the prophecy to Zerubbabel, Onias III and Antiochus (IV) Epiphanes. The current study exhibits how easy it is to misinterpret biblical texts if not examined carefully. The study suggests adequate and appropriate interpretations to passages of the Holy Bible as they can influence human eternal destination.","PeriodicalId":373844,"journal":{"name":"BIBLICAL STUDIES JOURNAL","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128605549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
