Restitutio ad integrum : an 'Augustinian' reading of Jeremiah 31:31-34 in dialogue with the Christian tradition
No full textThe 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 value of the tradition as an interlocutor for contemporary exegetical concerns in Christian readings and use of Jer 31:31-34. The study begins with Augustineâ s interpretation of the text as an absolute contrast between unbelief and faith, rather than the standard reading (found in Jerome) of a contrast between two successive religio-historical eras - one that governed Israel (the â old covenantâ ) and a new era and its covenant inaugurated in the coming of Christ. Augustineâ s absolute contrast loosened the strict temporal concern, so that the faithful of any era were members of the â new covenantâ . The study traces this reading of an absolute contrast in a few key moments of Christian interpretation: Thomas Aquinas and high medieval theology, then the 16th and 17th century Reformed tradition.
The thesis aims at a constructive reading of Jer 31:31-34, and so the struggle identified in these moments in the Christian tradition is brought into dialogue with modern critical discussions from Bernhard Duhm to the present. Finally I turn to an exegetical argument for an â Augustinianâ reading of the contrast of the covenants. The study finds that Jer 31:31-34, read in its role in Jeremiah, contrasts Israelâ s infidelity with a future idyllic faithfulness to Yhwh: in the new covenant all will be as it always ought to have been. The contrast is thus between two mutually exclusive standings before Yhwh. Thus the study aims to contribute to modern exegetical, theological and ecclesial discussions of â oldâ and â newâ covenants by examining one of the central texts of the discussion in dialogue with parts of the history of interpretation
Jeremiah, Defender of Covenant Faithfulness
No full textIn this study of the topic of true/false prophecy, the author has chosen to review the writings of Jeremiah to determine what criteria were used by Jeremiah, and perhaps the later redactors of the book we call Jeremiah, to determine the truthfulness of Jeremiah\u27s prophecies and the falsity of the prophecies of the temple prophets in Jerusalem. The author pays particular attention to the quotations which Jeremiah says are spoken by his opponents. An attempt is made to determine if these quotations of the opponents give us any clues to Jeremiah\u27s fervent opposition to their statements. The author\u27s analysis shows that the most consistently quoted group is that comprising the priests and prophets of the Jerusalem temple. The most common quotation by that group is that there will be well-being, or lack of destruction, in the country. Jeremiah is just as adamant that destruction is the country\u27s fate. The author determines that this difference in point of view stems from the different covenant traditions supported by the two groups: Jeremiah was nm1ured in the Moses/Sinai covenant tradition, the Jerusalem group supports a covenant tradition based on promises made to David. Jeremiah feels that he is right because God would never make a promise that wasn\u27t contingent on the faithfulness of the people, and there is too much visible unfaithfulness to support continued well-being. The later redactors seem to have accepted this viewpoint and indicate further that Jeremiah\u27s prophecies did in fact come true. The author then extends the influence of the Mosaic covenant tradition to the New Testament and beyond
Entrepreneurship: a case study of foreigners in Kajaani
No full textABSTRACT
Author: Jeremiah Oludayo Ogundipe
Degree Title: Bachelor of Business Administration
Keywords: entrepreneurship, foreign entrepreneurship, foreigners, Kajaani, Finland
As the foreign population of Finland continues to grow, so does entrepreneurship among foreigners. Several factors contribute to growing foreign entrepreneurship in Finland, such as economic, political, as well as social-cultural issues. Finland is deemed to be on the upper side of entrepreneurial activities, according to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Finland report (2011). Finland is an innovative country that ranks fourth in the world in terms of global competitiveness.
This thesis investigates foreign entrepreneurship in Finland with a focus on Kajaani, the largest town in the region of Kainuu and the 31st largest in Finland with over 30,000 residents.
For foreign entrepreneurship in Finland, there are opportunities, as there are challenges, rules, regulations, and procedures. This thesis aims to research the intricacies of entrepreneurship in Finland and Kajaani by foreigners, focusing on issues such as challenges, opportunities, market considerations, government policies, rules and regulations, and other aspects of entrepreneurship in Finland that foreigners must be aware of. The objective is to describe the factors that foreigners must take into account when considering entrepreneurship in Kajaani.
The research was conducted using five different viewpoints on entrepreneurship which include motivation/drive to startup a business, challenges, support from the government for foreign entrepreneurs, overcoming the challenges and difficulties faced in a startup such as rules and regulations, market information, and trends, economic factors and others, and advice to encourage other foreign entrepreneurs hoping to start companies in Kajaani. The semi-structured approach was used to collect qualitative data from foreign entrepreneurs/business owners in the food business in Kajaani
Merging and diverging : the Chronicler's integration of material from Kings, Isaiah, and Jeremiah in the narratives of Hezekiah and the Fall of Judah
No full textThe phenomenon of inner-biblical interpretation and inter-textual replication of scriptural material within the Old Testament is receiving significant attention in current scholarship. Two narratives which are repeated three times in the Hebrew Bible provide a particularly fruitful case study for this type of research: the Hezekiah narrative (2 Kgs 18-20; Isa 36-39; 2 Chr 29-32) and the account of the fall of Judah (2 Kgs 24-25; Jer 52; 2 Chr 36). This study extends the contributions of redaction-critical, literary-critical, and text-critical studies examining the narratives of 2 Kings 18-20//Isaiah 36-39 and 2 Kings 24:18-25:30//Jeremiah 52 and emphasizes their subsequent reception in Chronicles. In addition, this investigation advances the discussion of the Chronicler's reliance upon and method of incorporating material from the Latter Prophets. It is the conclusion of this thesis that the Chronicler was familiar with the versions of the Hezekiah narrative and the account of the fall of Judah in both 2 Kings and the Latter Prophets. His method of handling these alternative accounts reflects both direct quotation (particularly in the case of 2 Kings) and indirect allusion to themes and idioms (with regard to the Latter Prophets). The result is a re-telling of Judah's history which is infused with hope for restoration as articulated by the Latter Prophets. By portraying an idealized account of Israel's past history which corresponds to prophetic descriptions of the nation's restoration, Chronicles illustrates the accessible, utopic potential held out to every generation of faithful Israel

THE AUTHOR OF JEREMIAH 34:8-22 (LXX 41:8-22):
No full textThis article addresses the question as to whether the author of Jeremiah 34:8-22 was a voice for the manumitted Judean debt slaves, who were forced back into slavery during a temporary lifting of the siege of Jerusalem during 589-588 B.C.E. Jeremiah 34:8-22 sets the re-enslavement of these slaves as a precedent that explained the fall of Jerusalem in 587 B.C.E. The allusion in Jeremiah 34:14 to Deuteronomy 15:1, 12 does, however, signify that Jeremiah 34:8-22 echoes the “brother ethics” present in Deuteronomy 15:1-18. The author of Jeremiah 34:8-22 shared the “humanitarian” concerns of the debt release and the slave release laws in Deuteronomy 15:1-18. The debt slaves should have been treated as brothers and not as mere objects. He thus became a voice for these marginalised Judeans
Prophet Jeremiah in Jewish religious literature
No full textYeremya, “Yirmiyahu-והימרי” M.Ö. 640-570 tarihleri arasında yaşamış olduğu düşünülen ve Tanah’ta kendisine atfedilen Yeremya Kitabı ile bilinen bir peygamberdir. Politeist din algısından tekrar Yahudi monoteizmine geçme ve tek Tanrı inancını yeniden hâkim bir inanç unsuru haline getirme çabaları ile Yahudilik tarihinde önemli peygamberlerden biri olmuştur. Radikal dini reformlar gerçekleştiren Kral Yoşiya’nın (ö. M.Ö. 609) dini reformları ile bağlantısı olabileceği düşünülen Yeremya, M.Ö. 586 yılında son safhası gerçekleşen Babil Sürgünü’ne tanıklık etmiş ve “sürgün peygamberi” olarak Yahudilik tarihinde önemli bir yer edinmiştir. O, Yeremya Kitabı başta olmak üzere Ağıtlar Kitabı ve Yeremya’nın Mektubu isimli eserlerin yazarı olarak adres gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca Yeremya, Hristiyan dini literatüründe kendi kitabına başvurulan bir isim olmuş ve aynı zamanda İslamî literatürde tefsir, makalat (reddiye literatürü), tarih ve peygamberler tarihi türü eserlerde bir İslam peygamberi olarak nitelendirilmiştir. İslami kaynaklarda Yeremya, İrmiya bin Hilkiya şeklinde isimlendirilmiş ve Yahudi kaynaklarında anlatılan Yeremya ile pek çok açıdan benzer özelliklere sahip biri olarak tasvir edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, Yeremya’yı Yahudilik tarihinde ele almayı ve ona atfedilen eserlerin kritik bir analizini içermekte ve Hristiyanlık ve İslam kaynakları üzerinde Yeremya’nın ve kendisi ile ilgili literatürün etkilerini karşılaştırmalı olarak incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.Jeremiah "Yirmiyahu-והימרי" was a Biblical prophet have lived between 640-570 BC and he is known for the Book of Jeremiah attributed to him in Tanakh. He is one of the most important prophets in the history of Judaism with his efforts to switch polytheist perception to Jewish monotheism and prophesized to make the belief in the only God Yahweh. Many scholars described Jeremiah as an important figure who was involved in the religious reforms of King Josiah (d. 609 BC). Additionally, he was considered as a very significant witness of the Babylonian Exile, which took place in its final phase in 586 BC and he was named the "prophet of exile". Jeremiah was regarded as the author of the Book of Jeremiah and the Lamentations and Epistle of Jeremiah. In addition, Jeremiah has been a name referenced for his book in Christian religious literature and this made him an inspired prophet by authors of Christian literature. He was also regarded as a prophet in Islamic literature, and his effects can be seen in the categories of Islamic literature such as tafsir, makalat (Islamic polemical literature), history of the prophets, and history books. Jeremiah in Islamic sources was named Irmiya bin Hilkiya and was described as having similar characteristics to Jeremiah in Jewish sources in many aspects. This study aims to examine Jeremiah in Judaism, and it covers a critical analysis of the books that are attributed to him. Additionally, this study aims to examine the effects of Jeremiah and the Jewish literature about him on Christian and Islamic sources
NEWFOUNDLAND, NOVA SCOTIA AND NEW BRUNSWICK
No full textThe atlas this map is from is a typical example of a lot of atlas publications in the 19th century. Plates were used and reused by publishers over the course of many years and were transferred from one publisher to another with no, or very minor, changes. When a map is detached from its' atlas it becomes difficult to verify which atlas a map is from. Only by comparing it to known versions can conclusions be drawn. In this example, Greenleaf reissued an 1836 atlas of the same name by David Burr and at least 4 known versions were produced.Walter documents this as being from Jeremiah Greenleaf's 1842 "A New Universal Atlas" relying on Phillips for his information and Phillips only documents one version of this atlas. We now know there were multiple versions published, the first being in 1840. We also have other sources available to us (David Rumsey and others) and can conclude that our map is "probably" from the 1842 version as that is the only version we were not able to reliably consult and the color palette differs from consulted versions
