Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ

006 Peter and the Starcatcher
No full textFROM THE DIRECTOR
I remember being a child and asking if I could do certain things, only to be told that I had to wait until I grew up. When I finally “grew up,” I wanted to be a kid again with endless imagination unencumbered by the responsibilities of adulthood. Therefore, I have always been fascinated by Peter Pan and the original author, J.M. Barrie’s ability to capture this Pan’s refusal to take the next step into adulthood.
When researching Peter Pan, I became enamored by Barrie’s creation of Peter’s story, which started as a game, a way for Barrie to help his family through grief and a way for his loved ones to still go on adventures with the people they lost. However, Rick Elice’s theatrical script, Peter and the Starcatcher is an origin story showing how an average child becomes the legend known as Peter Pan.
When coming up with my directorial concept, I considered what would happen if a group of children decided to recreate and play the first-ever game of Peter Pan. I encouraged the cast to explore and expand their childlike physicality and imaginations in rehearsals. I asked them questions like, how would their child-self indicate flying and what choices would a child make when pretending to be an adult.
For the children in the audience, I hope you can see yourself in this play. For the grown-ups, I ask you to take a break from your adult life and become a child for two hours. Believe in the seemingly impossible and visualize these actors as pirates, orphans, mermaids, and so much more. Take a leap and spread your wings, and fly with Peter. Most importantly, remember to imagine is an awfully big adventure.

Verdi als politiek theater: Peter Konwitschny regisseert Aida en Don Carlos
No full textPeter Konwitschny is a German stage director who belongs to the modern tradition of "Regie-Theater". His opera productions are notoriously provocative. In this paper, the author examines two of his Verdi productions, Aida and Don Carlos, in order to demonstrate that his radical stagings go to the core of the works with unprecedented vividness and richness of meaning. Konwitschny's work is governed by a profound challenge of the patriarchal political relationships that are thematized in an exemplary way in Verdi's operas

Pension reform, savings behavior and corporate governance
Get PDFFrance, Germany and Italy, to take the three largest economies in continental Europe, have large and ailing pay-as-you-go public pension systems, very thin capital markets, and low capital performance. This paper proposes to study these three issues together, taking Germany as an example. Specifically, we argue that pension reform, via a change in portfolio composition of households and a strengthening of corporate governance through institutional inves-tors, can have important beneficial side effects both in terms of capital efficiency. Discussions about pension reform should therefore be broader than the narrow debate on how to diffuse the future financial strain caused by population aging. We suggest that looking at pension reform and capital market problems together sheds additional and new light on the continuing debate about advantages and disadvantages of pay-as-you-go and fully funded pension systems.
