Torah and Yeshua: What Do We Make of Them? by slaveofone
Within Christianity as well as outside it, there is confusion surrounding the relationship between ancient Israelite Law (Torah) and Jesus of Nazareth (Yeshua). By looking at the life and works of Yeshua with critical-historical help from Tom Wright, this paper will attempt to clarify the relationship by showing that Yeshua claimed to have replaced the traditional symbols of Judaism with himself, therefore making the former obsolete. Although not exhaustive, several components of Torah will be explored as well as how Yeshua redefined them within his eschatalogical framework. Having lost the strictures of Torah as morally and religiously definitive for the new people of Israel’s God, it will then be suggested how and where Christian faith goes from there.

Dispensationalism and the Problem of Vindication by slaveofone

Genesis: Fact or Fiction? by slaveofone
When asking the question of Genesis’ historicity, there are two types of evidence we can examine: internal literary and external archaeological. After contrasting literary forms and functions between Genesis and Ancient Near Eastern myths and legends, this paper will suggest that the final form of the Genesis text resembles a historical work more than a mythological one.
