Author: Karlo V. Bordjadze File Type: pdf How does one read the Old Testament as Christian Scripture? This question, voiced in both academic and ecclesial settings, invites a reflection on how to take these texts with both hermeneutical alertness and sustained imaginative seriousness. While scholars have recently engaged in robust discussion about theological hermeneutics, there have been relatively few worked examples with particular Old Testament texts. This book seeks to meet this need by providing a close reading of Isaiah 143-23, a text with a complex amalgam of textual, historical-critical, history-of-reception, and theological issues.Contributing a theological interpretation Bordjadze examines an enigmatic text that has been used to develop a satanology. After studying the original text, using text-, form-, historical-, and literary-critical tools, he moves to interpretational history, with important patristic, Reformation, and contemporary interpreters. For a popular, contemporary audience, Bordjadze also views the passage through the lens of evil presented by J. R. R. Tolkien. This work provides a multi-perspectival understanding of an often-misused text.-- David W. Baker, Professor of Old Testament and Semitic Languages, Ashland Theological SeminaryBordjadze seamlessly weaves together careful exegesis, historical analysis, and theological reading past and present. His model approach to this well-known and influential text significantly closes the gap between critical scholarship and Christian interpretation. The clarity and tight focus of this study ensures that both scholar and non-specialist alike will gain much from Bordjadzes insightful commentary on the passage and on the Christian discourse that emanates from it.--Daniel Hawk, Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew, Ashland Theological SeminaryThis is a very well written, well informed, and thoughtful discussion of Isaiah 14 from multiple Christian angles. Bordjadzes own readings of the text--in the light of Jesus--are well-grounded in Scripture, and his dialogue with the works of Tolkien is illuminating and enriching.--Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, Reader in Hebrew Bible, University of AberdeenBordjadze wrestles with one of the central hermeneutical questions concerning the interpretation of the Hebrew Bible--especially the prophetic corpus--in the Christian church how do we do justice to the fact that these texts came into being as word of God to particular Judahite and Israelite communities far removed from us and, at the same time, read them as Christian Scripture? Taking the marvelous oracle pronouncing Lucifers doom in Isaiah 14, Bordjadze takes us through a kaleidoscopic study of the linguistic, literary, and historical features of the text followed by a close analysis of select Christian interpretations across the millennia, bringing the historical and hermeneutical horizons together in a penetrating analysis of how the text has spoken anew as word of God attuned to and shaped by each new context.--David A. deSilva, Professor of New Testament, Ashland Theological SeminaryKarlo V. Bordjadze helps give leadership to the CRU movement at the Ohio State University and serves as an adjunct professor at Ashland Theological Seminary.**From the Back CoverContributing a theological interpretation Bordjadze examines an enigmatic text that has been used to develop a satanology.

Author: Jacques Derrida File Type: pdf When he died in 2004, Jacques Derrida left behind a vast legacy of unpublished material, much of it in the form of written lectures. With The Beast and the Sovereign, Volume 1, the University of Chicago Press inaugurates an ambitious series, edited by Geoffrey Bennington and Peggy Kamuf, translating these important works into English.The Beast and the Sovereign, Volume 1 launches the series with Derridas exploration of the persistent association of bestiality or animality with sovereignty. In this seminar from 20012002, Derrida continues his deconstruction of the traditional determinations of the human. The beast and the sovereign are connected, he contends, because neither animals nor kings are subject to the lawthe sovereign stands above it, while the beast falls outside the law from below. He then traces this association through an astonishing array of texts, including La Fontaines fable The Wolf and the Lamb, Hobbess biblical sea monster in Leviathan, D. H. Lawrences poem Snake, Machiavellis Prince with its elaborate comparison of princes and foxes, a historical account of Louis XIV attending an elephant autopsy, and Rousseaus evocation of werewolves in The Social Contract.Deleuze, Lacan, and Agamben also come into critical play as Derrida focuses in on questions of force, right, justice, and philosophical interpretations of the limits between man and animal.ReviewWhat this first volume . . . provides beyond its treatment of the fascinatingly intricate literary and philosophical motifs of bestiality and sovereignty is a vivid attestation to the experience of Derrida as a teacherthe quality of his attention, the tone and rhythm of his voice, his means of sparking his students capacities to read and think.Times Literary Supplement(Times Literary Supplement )This superb translation of 13 previously unpublished lectures by Derrida is the first in a remarkable project. . . . What Derrida accomplishes in this, his final seminar, is remarkable because it goes to the very heart of his lifelong project of deconstructing the logocentric bias of Western thinking.Choice(Choice ) About the AuthorJacques Derrida (19302004) was director of studies at the Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales, Paris, and professor of humanities at the University of California, Irvine.
