This paper will explore Matthew’s use of his source material to highlight Jesus’ role as the representative of YHWH and mediator of the Covenant. This paper will conclude that Jesus’s miracles and teachings demonstrate the “first fruits” of the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. Finally, the paper will demonstrate that Jesus’s teaching explores the “already but not yet” tensions present in the prophecies of Messiah as the servant of YHWH which will only be realized in the eschaton.","PeriodicalId":373844,"journal":{"name":"BIBLICAL STUDIES JOURNAL","volume":"13 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":"126319700","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}
{"title":"Deliverance in the Religion of Banyarwanda: Perspectives for Contextualizing Salvation in the Presbyterian Church","authors":"Rev. Emmanuel Muhozi","doi":"10.54513/bsj.2023.5203","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54513/bsj.2023.5203","url":null,"abstract":"This article examines the potential for using the concept of deliverance in Banyarwanda religious beliefs to contextualize the idea of salvation in the Presbyterian Church. Banyarwanda traditional healing practices incorporate deliverance as a crucial aspect of promoting physical and spiritual well-being. By comparing Banyarwanda traditional healing and Presbyterian theology, the article argues that deliverance can provide a unique perspective on the idea of salvation and its relevance to the Banyarwanda context. Incorporating deliverance practices into their understanding of salvation can help the Presbyterian Church engage with Banyarwanda culture and address the spiritual needs of its members. The paper highlights the importance of understanding the cultural context of religious practices and the potential for dialogue between different faith traditions to promote spiritual growth and healing.","PeriodicalId":373844,"journal":{"name":"BIBLICAL STUDIES JOURNAL","volume":"53 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":"115134406","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}
