@Davïd If you have this in hand, could you give me the page numbers for the chapter covering 19? I can't find the table of contents previewed, but I can request a copy of the entire chapter if I have the page numbers.
The other citation you gave me is only in German, correct? (I don't read German....)
Both stories mention the “city gate” (1 Kings 17:10; Luke 7:12)
Both stories concern raising the dead son of a widow (1 Kings 17:10,21-2; Luke 7:12)
Both stories use the same introductory phrase, “And it came to pass” (1 Kings 17:17; Luke 7:11)
Both stories use the phrase,“de...
«Continuity between the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament is an assumption and should be explicitly stated as such (and in the case of questions about the Hebrew Bible with no mention of New Testament texts, it's relevance will likely also need to be defended). There are of course exceptions, such as when a New Testament text itself cites the Hebrew Bible.» See more... — Paul Vargas5 hours ago
It would be nice if this question were drawn out a little more, but I'm not sure I think the fact that it includes both testaments is a problem.
Would it be better if it asked "Did Luke intend to draw a parallel between these stories?" and if so, "What point did Luke intend to convey by the parallel?"
@Susan Clines covers Job 19 on pages 426-470. It's a fairly detailed treatment. :) He also offers a specialist bibliography of vv. 25-27 in pp. 426-7 where the Speer article (the one linked auf Deutsch) is one among ~28 or so items.
@Susan Before you go through the trouble to get it, though, you might see if his article on Job 19:23-27 available on Academia.edu gives you what you're looking for.
It's a fairly short piece, though. Original source: D. J. A. Clines, "Belief, Desire and Wish in Job 19:23–27: Clues for the Identity of Job's 'Redeemer,'" in "Wünschet Jerusalem Frieden": Collected Communications to the XIIth Congress of the International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament, Jerusalem 1986 (ed. Matthias Augustin and Klaus-Dietrich Schunck, BEATAJ; Frankfurt am Main/New York: Peter Lang, 1988), 363-69.
@Davïd Thanks, will have a look through all that. Requesting that somebody else scan a bunch of pages and email them to me turns out to be pretty cheap for me, so I'll do that too.
@Davïd It appears that you created the current exegesis wiki. Do you have any objection to me changing it to DO NOT USE THIS TAG for the reasons outlined here?
If you have other thoughts about how we could productively use this tag rather than stripping it as Jack and I discussed, I'm open to changing my mind.
@Susan No objections at all. I was on a bit of a campaign to ... ahhh ... enhance the information (and consistency) of the tag-wikis. But there are some tags I wish we could simply be rid of, and you made a great point about the inherent problem with this one in particular.
This problem was predicted in the early days of the site and dealt with a few years ago but has come up again. There are only 30 questions now tagged exegesis, an apparently random bunch among the many exegesis questions here. The inconsistency irritates me. All of the 30 (except one that was mig...
As a prior answer has examined where Enoch failed in canonicity, this one shall turn to the Book of Revelation to determine what factors led the church to recognize its canonicity.
Though a popular genre, few apocalyptic works found their way into the New Testament canon. The most obvious excep...
Please let me know if anything reads funny. The comb wasn't as fine-toothed as others.
@FrankLuke It reads fine to me, thanks for the effort you put into it. I now have a 'go to' reference for Revelation's canonicity which is a great help :)
@PaulVargas not sure we do - questions per day has risen very slowly but also very steadily ever since the site started I think
We just need to keep the quality up, and the audience will keep growing
I was wondering about a meta-competition to encourage more answers to old Qs myself
I think it would be good to get our answer ratio up...
@majnemɪzdæn @JackDouglas Perhaps that query might be: SELECT TOP 100 CreationDate, Id AS [Post Link], AnswerCount FROM Posts WHERE AnswerCount < 3 ORDER BY Id. ;)
