crucifixion of the warrior god

Crucifixion of the Warrior God, by Gregory A. Boyd – Review Part 4 (on Joshua)

Posted December 15, 2017October 22, 2020 Matt LynchPosted in New Testament, Old Testament, Reviews, TheoMisc Blog

[This is pt 4 of a 4 part review. See here for part 1, part 2, and part 3] My review of Crucifixion of the Warrior God focused thus far on Boyd’s overarching approach to the problem of violence in the Old Testament. The review has been selective, but identified what I consider several large-scale […]

The Prophetic Critique of Sacrifice

Posted August 3, 2017October 22, 2020 Matt LynchPosted in church, Old Testament, TheoMisc Blog

Critique of Sacrifice… There’s a story I’ve often heard told about Old Testament prophets. I don’t think it’s true, but here’s how it goes. God apparently gave Israel a sacrificial system. He asked for obedience. He asked for victims. And he asked for bloodshed. But in time, and as Israel’s knowledge of God matured, certain […]

A Time for Minor Chords (Part II): Protest at the Divine Court

Posted April 5, 2017October 22, 2020 Matt LynchPosted in Old Testament, praise, TheoMisc Blog, worship

Time to Protest? In my previous post I discussed the continued lack of lament in contemporary worship (of the ‘worship band’ variety). My point was that there’s been very little appreciable movement toward lament in the past decades among the major producers of the songs listed on the CCLI lists and the like. Because of […]

Kristallnacht and the Loss of the Old Testament

Posted November 7, 2016October 22, 2020 Matt LynchPosted in church, culture, Old Testament, TheoMisc Blog

Von Rad foresaw the dangerous consequences of the Church cutting itself off from deep engagement with the Old Testament. Already in 1935 he remarked that ‘the links of the churches with Old Testament scholarship have been almost completely broken for more than one generation’…

Is There Only One God? Old Testament Reflections

Posted September 19, 2016October 22, 2020 Matt LynchPosted in Old Testament, Study, TheoMisc Blog

A core tenet of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths is the claim that there is only one God, not that there used to be lots of gods until Yahweh emerged victorious.

No Mercy Joshua 5

Joshua and Violence (Part 5): Show them No Mercy

Posted April 19, 2016October 12, 2020 Matt LynchPosted in Old Testament, Study, TheoMisc Blog

In his 2003 essay on Joshua in the book Show Them No Mercy, Tremper Longman III draws an enlightening yet disturbing comparison between the extremist ideology of Osama bin Laden and that expressed in the herem (total) texts of Deuteronomy and Joshua…

How to Burn Down Your House

Posted January 19, 2016October 12, 2020 Matt LynchPosted in Old Testament, TheoMisc Blog

(on fixing the problems of violence and wrath in the Bible) When preparing to teach on violence in the Old Testament recently I was reminded of a book review I once read. The reviewer recounted his neighbour’s efforts to remove a grease stain from his garage floor. The neighbour dumped a few gallons of gasoline […]

Advent and the Incarnational God

Posted December 10, 2015October 12, 2020 Matt LynchPosted in church, Old Testament, TheoMisc Blog

The Incarnation… The incarnation forms the climactic turning point of sacred history. The high point in the grand biblical drama of redemption involved the self-emptying descent of God in Jesus. For many, the incarnation may seem like a 33-year anomaly in the life of God. The God who is otherwise transcendent or at least invisible […]

Love for enemies

Love for Enemies in the Old Testament

Posted October 14, 2015February 24, 2021 Matt LynchPosted in doctrine, Old Testament, TheoMisc Blog

The most prominent verses cited as evidence are Jesus’ ‘you have heard it said … but I tell you’ statements, especially His statements about enemies.

“Grounded is an extraordinarily rich anthology of essays representing women’s voices on a broad range of topics in relation to the Christian faith from an equally broad range of perspectives. . . . It is shot through with a welcome realism that is often lacking in scholarly essays. Although entirely penned by Australian women scholars, it would be a mistake to think this volume was written solely for women or for Australians. . . . I highly recommend this to scholars, students, and church people alike.” - Lucy Peppiatt
