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
Images of Moses and sixteenth-century Venice
No full textThis thesis addresses the striking proliferation of Moses imagery in sixteenth-century Venice by considering the images as a distinctive category. Although the narratives of Moses can be found elsewhere in Italy, the Venetian treatment of these subjects is distinguished by their number and their placement not in private chapels but in locations available to a broad audience. Additionally, a contrast can be made between the central Italian examples, which display variations on a political theme originally established by St. Thomas Aquinas, and the peculiar Venetian approach to the prophet, influenced by the city’s Byzantine roots and its constitution. In tracing the development of this imagery in the sixteenth century, initial consideration must be given to the roots of its stylistic interpretation in the Veneto where paintings for chapels of the Sacrament exhibit the group-oriented compositions that characterize the works throughout the period. In this context, the pioneering work of Jacopo Tintoretto forms the principal focus of this thesis, arguing that he was the first to introduce Moses imagery into Venice on a monumental scale. In his works for the main chapel of the Church of the Madonna dell’Orto and the ceiling of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, the image of Moses takes on heightened theological significance in the general religious context of the Counter Reformation and in particular Venetian contexts of parish and confraternity. The interplay of such monumental painting and printed book illustration is also considered. It is the influence of Tintoretto’s approach to Moses on later artists that forms in part the foundation for the proliferation of the subjects in the later years of the sixteenth and the early years of the seventeenth century

Moses Roper: Escape from Slavery Paper - Accession 872 - M392 (443)
No full textThis collection consists of photocopies of maps, deeds, wills, and supporting material concerning a paper written by Winthrop student Michael Melone for Dr. Dorothy Thompson’s African-American Literature class titled “Following Moses Roper: A Progress Report” concerning the book titled A Narrative of the Adventures and Escape of Moses Roper from American Slavery by Moses Roper. The student’s paper includes references to documents that prove Moses Roper’s accounts and claims concerning the people and places he encountered in North and South Carolina between 1828 and 1830.
Moses Roper was a mulatto slave born in Caswell County, North Carolina to his master, Henry Roper and his slave mother, Nancy. After he was seven years old he was exchanged to another master and eventually was exchanged or sold to another 17 or more masters in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida. He had a particularly harsh master by the name of John Gooch of Chester County, South Carolina. Moses attempted to escape several times during these years before he successfully made his way from Florida to New York in 1934. He made his way to England and was educated there and wrote of his experiences as a slave and of his escape.https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/manuscriptcollection_findingaids/2318/thumbnail.jp
