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

Critical pedagogy in hard financial times
No full textPeter Mayo takes issue with education financing not from an economic or technical
viewpoint, but from a philosophical and systemic one, drawing on critical pedagogy.
There is no sense, this article argues, to talk of higher education or its funding without
reference to the capitalist system which the mainstream education discourse reaffirms. The author concludes with an alternative vision of lifelong learning as a social act for the creation and enhancing of democratic spaces, reflected in the ongoing global “Occupy” protests for social equality.peer-reviewe
Sequence Analysis of Four <i>Shigella boydii</i> O-Antigen Loci: Implication for <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Shigella</i> Relationships
No full textABSTRACT
Shigella
strains are in reality clones of
Escherichia coli
and are believed to have emerged relatively recently (G. M. Pupo, R. Lan, and P. R. Reeves, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 97:10567–10572, 2000). There are 33 O-antigen forms in these
Shigella
clones, of which 12 are identical to O antigens of other
E. coli
strains. We sequenced O-antigen gene clusters from
Shigella boydii
serotypes 4, 5, 6, and 9 and also studied the O53- and O79-antigen gene clusters of
E. coli
, encoding O antigens identical to those of
S. boydii
serotype 4 and
S. boydii
serotype 5, respectively. In both cases the
S. boydii
and
E. coli
O-antigen gene clusters have the same genes and organization. The clusters of both
S. boydii
6 and
S. boydii
9 O antigens have atypical features, with a functional insertion sequence and a
wzx
gene located in the orientation opposite to that of all other genes in
S. boydii
serotype 9 and an
rmlC
gene located away from other
rml
genes in
S. boydii
serotype 6. Sequences of O-antigen gene clusters from another three
Shigella
clones have been published, and two of them also have abnormal structures, with either the entire cluster or one gene being located on a plasmid in
Shigella sonnei
or
Shigella dysenteriae
, respectively. It appears that a high proportion of clusters coding for O antigens specific to
Shigella
clones have atypical features, perhaps indicating recent formation of these gene clusters.

Is There Market Power in the French Comte Cheese Market?
No full textAn NEIO approach is used to measure seller market power in the French Comté cheese market, characterised by government-approved supply control. The estimation is performed on quarterly data at the wholesale stage over the period 1985-2005. Three different elasticity shifters are included in the demand specification, and the supply equation accounts for the existence of the European dairy quota policy. The market power estimate is small and statistically insignificant. Monopoly is rejected, as well as weak forms of Cournot oligopoly. Results appear to be robust to the choice of functional form, and suggest little effect of the supply control scheme on consumer prices.Supply control, NEIO, protected designation of origin, Marketing,
