The Benedictus, Lucan Narrative, and Poetic Discourse
No full textDegree awarded: Ph.D. Biblical Studies. The Catholic University of AmericaThis dissertation can be viewed by CUA users only.The Benedictus (Luke 1:68-79) is closer to Luke's literary project than previous studies have admitted. The Benedictus has been assessed as having more in common with Jewish discourse or the story about John the Baptist than Luke's authorial persona, based on its supposed divergence from Luke's stylistic range and introduction of themes (vv. 68-69, 71-75, and/or vv. 78-79) that are not seen to be particularly relevant to its literary context (especially, Luke 1:5-25, 57-66). This study argues the contrary, that the Benedictus is closely related to its literary context and exhibits features that are consistent with Luke's stylistic range. There are four claims made in this argument. First, the message of the Benedictus is best understood through an evaluation of the structure of the Benedictus (vv. 68a + 68b-71 + 72-75; 76a + 76b-78a + 78b-79), which is indicated by the syntax of its clauses, whose predicates have the sequence indicative + infinitive + articular infinitive in the genitive. Second, the argument of its two parts (vv. 68-75, 76-79) are interdependent in their use of an exodus typology, the first part predicting that a God-appointed savior figure (vv. 69) will accomplish a Red Sea-type deliverance (v. 71), and the second part instructing the child to precede the savior, as the angel preceded the Israelites in the wilderness (v. 76b), and give people hope of this deliverance. Each part has two sections whose cola correspond thematically. Third, the Benedictus is integral to Luke 1:5-25, 57-67, 80, resolving narrative tensions and complementing issues introduced through allusion. Fourth, the Benedictus displays phrasing, a structure of argument, and themes that reappear in Luke-Acts, indicating that Luke either was the author of the Benedictus or had a significant role in its shaping, integrating features of Jewish liturgy into a form of poetic discourse that may have been influenced by liturgy in synagogues and/or church communities.Made available in DSpace on 2012-09-11T17:08:26Z (GMT).

Paul's Call to Imitation: The Rhetorical Function of the Theme of Imitation in its Epistolary Context
No full textDegree awarded: Ph.D. Biblical Studies. The Catholic University of AmericaPaul's Call to Imitation: The Rhetorical Function of the Theme of Imitation in Its Epistolary Context.Jason G. Weaver, Ph.D.Director: Frank J. Matera, Ph.D.The Pauline call to imitation is one of the most distinctive aspects of Pauline thought. The explicit call to imitation occurs five times in the non-disputed Pauline letters: 1 Thess 1:6; 2:14; 1 Cor 4:16; 11:1; and Phil 3:17. It is a call to imitate the example that Paul sets before the community to which he writes. Although these letters are the only ones in which Paul explicitly calls others to imitate him, the theme of imitation occurs throughout his writings. The monographs and articles that have addressed the theme of imitation in Pauline thought use either the historical-critical method or a rhetorical method to develop their thesis. This study examines the rhetorical function of the theme of imitation in its epistolary context. The rhetorical situation of the community to which Paul writes is an important element in the study of his letters. Therefore, examining each call to imitation within the rhetorical situation of the community to which Paul writes provides a clear understanding of his call to imitation. Although each call to imitation is found within a different rhetorical situation, this study argues that with each call to imitate him, Paul establishes a new set of community relationships to which each believing community must adhere. Within this new set of relationships there are four themes that are crucial to Paul's call to imitation: humility, suffering, unity, and salvation. These four themes form the shape and structure of true community life. Paul's call to imitation and his desire to create this new set of community relationships requires believers to live in humility and to be willing to endure suffering. The purpose of this imitation is to create unity within the community so that at the parousia all believers will share in salvation. Through his own example and the example of Christ, Paul demonstrates the example he calls others to imitate.Made available in DSpace on 2013-02-08T16:06:08Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1

Seeing Blood and Water: A Narrative-critical Study of John 19:34
No full textDegree awarded: Ph.D. Biblical Studies. The Catholic University of AmericaOne of the most significant details of the Fourth Gospel is its unique version of the crucifixion (19:12-42). A full understanding of the central section of this scene, the depiction of Jesus' death and the details that immediately surround this event (19:31-37), is dependent on the interpretation of the vital verse that recounts the piercing of his side and the flow of blood and water (19:34). The problem, however, is that, though John 19:34 has been incorporated into many literary works throughout the history of Christianity, there has never been a thorough literary analysis dedicated solely to this key verse. The present study solves this problem by providing the first comprehensive narrative-critical study of John 19:34. The study begins with an introduction to the history of interpretation of John 19:34, the problem this verse poses for research, and the purpose and methodology of the present study. It then discusses the manuscript tradition of the pericope John 19:31-37, provides an analysis of its literary structure, and an English translation. Next, it investigates the symbolic significance of the images of blood and water in the Gospel's cultural milieu. It demonstrates that blood was associated with life and the purification from sin and that water was associated with life and the purification from uncleanness. The study then examines the use of the words "blood" and "water" in the Gospel preceding 19:34 and demonstrates that these words are used in accord with their symbolic significance from the surrounding culture. Finally, the study provides an analysis of 19:34 in its immediate literary context (19:31-37). It demonstrates that the explicit quotation of Zech 12:10 in John 19:37 was intended to show that the flow of blood and water in 19:34 was the fulfillment of two images in the immediate context of Zech 12:10, i.e. 13:1 and 14:8. The study closes with a summary of its findings, an explanation of how it contributes to the research of Johannine literature, and some suggestions for future research.Made available in DSpace on 2011-06-24T17:11:04Z (GMT).

Images of gas molecules by electron holography. II. Experiment and comparison with theory
No full textMolecular images photographed by a variant of holographic microscopy proposed in Paper I are presented. ’’Holograms’’ were taken with an electron beam of 0.06 Å wavelength recorded up to a numerical aperture of 0.2 to yield an Abbe resolution limit of 0.15 Å. Experimental requirements and procedures are described. Images, representing rotational averages over an ensemble, closely resemble images calculated according to the theoretical expressions derived in Paper I. The theoretical treatment took into account the degradative effects of the zeroth‐order beam transmitted through the hologram, finite numerical aperture and wavelength, the ’’false’’ peaks arising from the cutoff of the holograms at their centers, and nonoptimum first‐stage filter functions. Illustrative examples include AsF5, a case chosen to satisfy standard holographic requirements, and two cases, SF5Cl and CF3OOCF3, selected to produce more complicated images.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/70795/2/JCPSA6-70-8-3958-1.pd
