Considering (again) how to read The New Testament

For Westermann, every presentation of the motif of the Father-Son relationship is shaped by language and thinking rooted in the Old Testament.
I found the above quote in Consensus, A Canadian Journal of Public Theology.

I was searching in Google for 'the new testament in the the light of the old testament'. There are plenty of writings who reverse the light to the other way round. In the same PDF I also found Westermann's comment on gnosis in John. The physical order of the pages in this PDF is confused and incomplete, but this comment stood out:
Gnostic dualism is restricted to the later layer, found mostly in the controversy dialogues (5:17-47; 6:25-67; 7:14-36; 8:12-59 and 10:22-39); these dialogues are a “foreign element” in the Gospel of John. They are governed by motifs such as establishing contrasts between separate realms and people (8:23f “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world”), between spirit and matter (6:63 “It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail”) and judgement (5:30 “as I hear, I judge; and my judgement is just”). Westermann argues that the statements of the later layer stand in opposition to the language and thinking of the Old Testament.
It occurs to me that we have been told before that the Old Testament is without dualism. And there is a truth here, but is it the whole truth and nothing but the truth? There we find both gospel and flesh. Each is expressed by the same Hebrew stem בשר. Flesh, as a body part 276 times. Good news, bearing good news, in the domain of speech and engagement about 30 times. The reality of the Old Testament is very present and tangible. Like the psalms, it is about the act of bringing forth the fully human child to maturity. Is this emergence good or not?

There is also a dualism in the Old Testament language. Not a Greek body-soul dualism, but not as far off as might be imagined. It is expressed in Qohelet 3:19,
For what transpires for the children of the earthling and what transpires for the beast? And what transpires for them is one thing. // As death for this, so is death for that and one spirit for all. And for the earthling over the beast there is no advantage, for the whole is futility.
Qohelet goes on, well deserving of a read: The whole ambles to one place. The whole comes from the dust and the whole returns to the dust. Who knows if the sprite of the earthling child ascends herself upward, or the sprite of the beast descends herself to the couch of the earth?

People read the opening of Genesis as if soul applied only to the human. This is a patently biased reading. The word commonly translated soul is נפשׁ, and it is used of all beings in Genesis 1 in the sea and on land before is it used of the earthling in Genesis 2. All life is living being. Or if you wish, living soul. Indeed נפשׁ is sometimes corporate, a group or subgroup of that living being. Qohelet is not using נפשׁ, but רוח, spirit, sprite, wind.

There is an act of Yahweh God in Genesis that is unique. It is the act of exhaling into the nose of the earthling. By that act, not as if it were a static result, the earthling became alive to self, or traditionally a living soul. The רוח returns to God. It is no longer differentiated when it is apart from the flesh.

It occurs to me also that we should ignore the idea of layering of a text. Not only do we read it as one, but we also think in layers, so even so-called layers can be a single product of a single time. Who understands the human thinking or speaking process?

This post in itself is only a beginning of thought. And I see that my question is anthropological as well as metaphysical. It is not so much that we must read forward from Old to New and critique our Biblical Study, as if we were recapitulating its example, but that we must also particularly critique our theology and christology, especially a Christology of separation. These theologies are the result of our taking control over things we do not have full control over. These theologies have resulted in some abominable teaching. Do we really think our teaching is supported from these Scriptures?

Is there a language through which we can pursue this question?

I note this book review (Torah Ethics and Early Christian Identity) as relevant. There is clearly a major shift in the New Testament - but are its elements already visible? Obviously this study is more complex than simply translating. The New Testament is beginning to seem to me like a painting, perhaps even an impressionistic painting, not representative, not a photograph. I think this will be even more clear from some of the links in the carnival due out tomorrow. At the same time, if we have some teaching that has led to violence that completely undoes the same teaching, then what, if anything will we do about it? Is regulation (law) sufficient?

Volunteer readers

Who would like to read the Bible? Specifically Bob's Bible. Drop me a line. Leave a comment with an email to share to. Tweet me a tweet @drmacdonald. Send me an email stenagmois at gmail dot com

I am preparing the following volumes. Eventually I will have an ebook version. Right now it will be rough edged PDFs screaming for corrections.

Which part would you be interested to critique? I have run a spell check and fixed a number of typos - about 300 or so - there are lots more I am sure.
  • Torah - text only at the moment. 325 pages 161,180 words
  • Former Prophets - as for Torah 270 pages 136,238 words
  • Major Prophets - as for Torah 232 pages 120,022 words
  • The Twelve - this has all 12 sections defined and some music included - 129 pages 30,612 words
  • Job - as for the twelve. 98 pages, 18,961 words
  • The Proverbs - as for Torah - 46 pages, 15,298 words
  • The Psalms - is in final form, 5 sections, Hebrew/English music samples 181 pages 44,668 words 
  • The Five Scrolls - as for the twelve 75 pages 21,231 words
  • Other Writings - as for Torah 159 pages 78,165 words
It would be a good Advent exercise. Also a good Lenten exercise.

These are some of the questions that occur to me as I look over the text.
  1. Where should music be put? I cannot do the whole to music. Too many pages. But some examples will give the volumes their uniqueness. No one else is likely to do this work.
  2. What footnotes are required? There is a full glossary, complete and consistent, whether wrong or right or indifferent. My decisions may or may not be justified.
  3. Where have I left unreadable sentences in English where the Hebrew is perfectly OK? 
  4. Where do my decisions result in possible misreadings of the text?

A review of the list of Biblioblogs



The turnover in bloggers from the first carnival I hosted in 2012, exactly 6 years ago, is substantial. There is no easy way to find out who is current, who is useful, who else there is outside of the western English-speaking world and so on. 

This list of links is not the carnival. That is scheduled for Dec 1. Tell me if you have links you would like in the carnival.

The Biblioblog Library is no longer posting. These are the blogs on the list. If there is a date then it is the last post that I saw prior to Nov 1. Many of these blogs are really hard to find things on. Many have distracting ads. Though exhausting to read through one by one, it is far from exhaustive.

Here are their latest links in November up to Nov 24 if there were any. Otherwise there is a date of last posting in the format used on the subject blog. Most of these blogs are still somewhat active. I will not necessarily be checking these again.

Things I discovered while doing something else.

Direct speech and vav

While searching with some automated assistance for typos in my text, I have discovered that there is no instance of direct speech anywhere in the Biblical text where the spoken word begins with a vav.

So while we might think that the Hebrews wrote with rather too many instances of the vav as connector, in fact their speech writing would seem to confirm that they did not speak that way.

Also, 1% of the time, direct speech is introduced immediately following the atnah (the main pause in a verse).

Another word I never used

The King James peppers its translation with heathen for גוי. For me, גוי is nation for 559 of 561 instances. The other two are national and nationhood, i.e. directly related, just not reduced to the lemma form, since my algorithm does not analyse or remove those suffixes, al or hood. A nation is a recognizable and somewhat cohesive subgroup of the human family. There is no cause for a hymn about heathen lands afar in Bob's Bible.

What was I trying to do?

 Stop myself from imploding after finishing the first full draft of the libretto for the music of Tanakh.
A boxed set of Bob's Books

And try to define what I hope to accomplish in the next say 3 years. A full set of examples of the music with Hebrew and English underlay to accompany a release of my work in ebook form and possibly paper form. This would be the translation of the whole in a readable form and several pertinent examples of the music. Certainly examples from all I currently have in performance, and a few others.

What do I need?

I need critical readers and musicians ready to say no and yes. I need to prove the translations through setting them to music and through other means of validation some of which I will need to invent. I want to see what emerges from this study of this text.

What do I discover?

I find I have set some of the music already but the translation I now have bears little relationship to what I set 5 years ago! In some ways the older is better. But I know there were some cogent (to me) reasons for the changes made over the last 5 years. They weren't always musical reasons though.
