Moses, God, and the dynamics of intercessory prayer
No full textThe primary objective of this thesis is to reconsider the significance of the canonical portrayal of Moses the intercessor in the aftermath of "documentary" pentateuchal criticism. Not disregarding the diachronic dimension of the text, at the heart of this study is a close theological reading of Exodus 32-34 and Numbers 13-14 in their final form with focus on the nature and theological function of Moses' prayers. The intercessions evoke important theological questions, especially with regard to divine mutability, reputation, purpose, and covenant. It will become evident that Moses’ prayers embody a hermeneutical key to biblical theology. The choice of the two key narratives is endorsed by their strong inner-biblical associations. Two are of particular importance: I) Moses' intercession in Numbers 14:11-19 clearly wants to be understood in relation to Exodus 34:6-7, YHWH's fullest revelation of His name, which in itself is the result of Moses' engaging prayer activity (Ex. 32-33). By appealing to YHWH's name (Nu. 14:18), Moses sets an important biblical paradigm of authentic prayer. II) We shall see that YHWH's disclosure of His name remains a somewhat abstract reality in the context of the golden calf account. I shall advance the thesis, however, that YHWH's fullest revelation of His name (Ex. 34:6-7) is enacted in Numbers 14 in a specific and concrete situation and stands thus as a kind of commentary on Exodus 34:6-7.Another central aspect of this study is to bring Moses' intercessory activity into canonical connection with his prophetic qualities. It has long been noticed that Moses is presented as Israel's archetypal prophet. His prophetic role, however, has rarely been brought into constructive relation with his role as intercessor. Our study of Moses' intercessory prayers is preceded by some hermeneutical reflections and a survey of recent literature on Old Testament intercessory prayers

A Vietnamese Moses : Philiphê Bỉnh and the geographies of early modern Catholicism /
No full text"A Vietnamese Moses is the story of Philiphê Binh, a Vietnamese Catholic priest who in 1796 traveled from Tonkin to the Portuguese court in Lisbon to persuade its ruler to appoint a bishop for his community of ex-Jesuits. Based on Binh's surviving writings from his thirty-seven-year exile in Portugal, this book examines how the intersections of global and local Roman Catholic geographies shaped the lives of Vietnamese Christians in the early modern era. The book also argues that Binh's mission to Portugal and his intense lobbying on behalf of his community reflected the agency of Vietnamese Catholics, who vigorously engaged with church politics in defense of their distinctive Portuguese-Catholic heritage. George E. Dutton demonstrates the ways in which Catholic beliefs, histories, and genealogies transformed how Vietnamese thought about themselves and their place in the world. This sophisticated exploration of Vietnamese engagement with both the Catholic Church and Napoleonic Europe provides a unique perspective on the complex history of early Vietnamese Christianity"--Publisher.Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-326) and index.Philiphê Bỉnh and the Catholic geographies of Tonkin -- A Catholic community in crisis -- Journeys : Macao, Goa, and Lisbon -- Arrival in Lisbon and first encounters -- Invoking the Padroado : Bỉnh and Prince Dom João -- Waiting for Bỉnh in Tonkin and Macao -- Life in Lisbon and the Casa do Espirito Santo, 1807-1833 -- The tales of Philiphê Bỉnh."A Vietnamese Moses is the story of Philiphê Binh, a Vietnamese Catholic priest who in 1796 traveled from Tonkin to the Portuguese court in Lisbon to persuade its ruler to appoint a bishop for his community of ex-Jesuits.

The Narrative Function of the Song of Moses in the Contexts of Deuteronomy and Genesis-Kings
No full textThe Song of Moses is acknowledged to be one of the most difficult texts to
interpret within the book of Deuteronomy. Substantial effort has been put in to
determine the Song's origin in terms of its dating and reason for composition. But
more scholars are now seeing the need to relate the Song to its immediate context.
However, the recent contributions to this topic show the need for a closer examination
of the Song's narrative function, not only in Deuteronomy but also in its larger
context in Genesis-Kings. Understanding the Song's function in this large corpus
necessitates the way in which it relates to Deuteronomic themes such as the YHWHIsrael
relationship, Torah, worship, and kingship. This thesis examines the
theological and hermeneutical function of the Song in Deuteronomy and GenesisKings
in their final forms. As a prophetic criticism of Israel, it focuses its audiences'
attention on the central command of the Torah, the moral issue of covenant-keeping,
and Israel's vocation as witness to the nations, resulting in a theology of history for all
nations. With reference to Deuteronomy, the Song expresses the heart of the book.
With reference to Genesis-Kings, it gives us a sense of beginning and closure to the
history of the people of YHWH in terms of Israel's primeval past and future hope respectively
