The present study examines Paul's use of Isaiah in Rom 11:25–27 and seeks to determine how the apostle's treatment of Scripture in that passage informs his argument in Romans 9–11. Some recent studies have focused on the interpretive role of mystery in specific Pauline texts inv…
The mélodies of André Caplet (1878-1925) are permeated with an abundance of intricacies and complexities in terms of tonality and rhythm. Through exploring aspects of tonal and rhythmic structures in the sets Paroles à l'absente, Le vieux coffret, Trois fables de Jean de La Font…
Although previous tourism research has acknowledged the phenomenon of dark tourism, there is still an absence of research in relation to the design and management of interpretation at dark visitor attractions (DVAs) situated on the lighter end of the darkness spectrum (LDVAs). I…
The epistle of James has been neglected in NT studies, caught between its relationship with Paul and the claim that it has no theology. Even as it experiences a resurgence of study, surprisingly no full-length survey exists on James as the epistle of “faith and works.” Approache…
The present work aims to elucidate the role of the Jewish feasts of Passover, Tabernacles and Dedication in the presentation of Jesus in the Fourth Gospel. Specifically, I will seek to gain a clearer understanding of John’s appropriation of the symbolic and traditional backgroun…
The present study is a history of interpretation. In that sense it does not fit neatly into the category of Wirkungsgeschichte. Moving through successive periods of the Christian church’s history, we will select representative interpretations of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and theologica…
The focus of this thesis is on the way in which the theology of the author of the Epistle to the Ephesians is both shaped by and shapes the appropriation of OT texts and themes, especially in Eph 2:11-22. This reveals an overarching theme, not only in 2:11-22, but in the whole l…
The struggle to read Jer 31:31-34 as Christian Scripture has a long and divided history. Yet remarkably little has been done to grapple with the depth of this struggle in the Christian tradition from the post-Nicene period to the modern era. This thesis attempts to show the valu…

This study examines interactive interpretation as shifts in framing structures of alignment by identifying patterns of quotation usage in sequentially emergent discourse. A structural and microanalytic analysis was performed on the video-taped discussions of Modern Orthodox Jews…
The purpose of this thesis is to offer an interpretation of the Writing of Hezekiah (Isa 38:9–20) based on text-critical, poetic, and genre analysis, together with word studies. The study is based on two distinct steps: textual criticism and a multi-exegetical methodology. The f…
One of the distinctive features of biblical myth in general and of the Gospels in particular, as David Friedrich Strauss observed in his The Life of Jesus Critically Examined in 1835, is the making of myths out of historical (and historical-seeming) events. Strauss was the first…
In May 2009, the International Committee of the Red Cross published its Interpretive Guidance on the Notion of Direct Participation in Hostilities under International Humanitarian Law on the meaning of the term “direct participation in hostilities” (DPH) and the hotly-debated st…
In this study, I attempt to reconstruct Paul's pre-epistolary exegesis of Genesis that I hypothesize lies beneath Rom 9. This exegesis goes beyond the discussion of the patriarchs in Rom 9:6–13 and supports the reconfiguration of God's family in Rom 9:24–29. It enables Paul to v…
This study explores the hermeneutical issues raised by critical approaches to the Book of the Twelve and their implications for the concepts of authorial intent, history, and canon. By means of a critical engagement with the Twelve’s modern reception history it seeks to demonstr…
This research studies the theology of those Wahhabis who have now named themselves Salafis. For the purpose of the study, they are referred to as the ‘Wahhabis-self-named-Salafis’ (WSNS). The thesis starts with the observation that the WSNS are usually studied from a political p…
Classic and modern approaches to biblical interpretation offer varying perspectives derived from differing affirmations regarding the character of the text. For traditional theology, the Bible was seen as divine revelation; it conveyed God's intention and will to humans in an un…
