Priscilla Papers, Volume 25
Overview
Theological journals are a tremendous resource for biblical studies. However, anyone who has searched for copies of theological journals knows that they are difficult to find and impossible to buy. Even if you are fortunate enough to have a library of journals in print form, they take up lots of shelf space. With the print editions, finding a topic or Scripture reference can be difficult. The Theological Journal Library combines several of the best conservative, scholarly, evangelical journals and classic works on church history. This massive set allows you to rapidly search through each title for specific words, phrases, topics, authors, or passages.
Top Highlights
“By juxtaposing these two passages, Proverbs advises the reader not to spend his khayil on women who will bring him ruin, but to search for a woman who will bring him khayil.” (Volume 25, Number 1, Page 22)
“I believe that ‘woman of strength’ is a better translation than ‘strong woman’ on account of the fact that it is used more seldom in English. The unfamiliarity of the English phrase can function to pique readers’ attention and cause them to ask, ‘What does this mean?’ so reading the passage for an explanation to their question. At the same time, I have chosen to retain the generic ‘woman,’ even though the context of the poem clearly indicates that the woman here is a wife, mother, and manager of her household. In this case, I believe the more generic term may broaden the receptivity or application of the example of this woman to more than ‘wives’—a distinction necessitated by our culture, not that of ancient Israel.” (Volume 25, Number 1, Page 24)
“Women and men in our churches today need to know that not only men have strength. Women also have strengths: physical, mental, moral, and financial strength. Christian women and men need to know that all followers of Jesus Christ are called to use their strengths in the service of others, whether physical, financial, moral, mental, or spiritual. If the ancient Hebrews were not afraid to praise a woman for physical, financial, moral, and mental strength, we should not hesitate to do the same.” (Volume 25, Number 1, Page 24)
“the only instance in Genesis in which the Lord (through the agency of the angel) carries on a conversation with a woman.” (Volume 25, Number 1, Pages 9–10)
