Mikayla Titus THL 217 A Social Justice-Old Testament Word count: Unit 3: The D-History As we continue this rigorous journey of understanding the Old Testament, we come to the Deuteronomic or Deuteronomistic History. The D-History, for short, is the section of the bible that focuses on the history of Israel entering the promise land until the exile and shows the exile was caused by the unfaithfulness towards what was laid out in the book of Deuteronomy (“Meta”). Unit Three focuses on five main…

Psalm 35 is also known as the Psalm of David. The whole psalm is an appeal to heaven from a bold heart and a clear conscience, irritated beyond measure by oppression and hatred. Beyond a doubt David 's Lord may be seen here by the spiritual eye. Psalm 35 was written either about David and his revenge against Saul, or about a legal court: the proceedings, defense and appeal. Both ideas were split into three main parts. The Psalm of David should be “classified as belonging to the form group:…

None of the women in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight have any sort of agency. In order for agency to exist, it must be seen and also validated. To be seen means that the woman is visualized actually doing something. She talks, moves, and influences events. To be validated means that the women’s actions/words/influences are recognized, or at the very least, not demeaned. Guinevere is neither seen nor validated, the Lady is only seen, and Morgan le Fay is spoken about, but she is not validated.…

In this chapter, David discusses the attitude and actions of a fool. One verse in this chapter is confusing. The verse states, “The fool says in his heart ‘there is no God.’ They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good” (Ps. 14:1). This verse makes David sound arrogant because it appears that he claims that he is the only one who is righteous before God, and therefore he can wisely depict the state of the people around him. On the other hand, I wonder if this verse…

should not cheat on husband or wife. An example of adultery in the Old Testament is when King David slept with another man’s wife. 2 Samuel chapter 11 tells all about the story. In summary, King David was lusting after a married woman by the name Bathsheba. She was the wife of Uriah the Hittite. Not only did King David commit adultery with the woman, he had her husband killed by making sure he was in front on the battlefield. It did not only stop there the man’s wife was pregnant with King…

with each chapter such as: deputy husband, housewife, mother, neighbor, consort, etc.; all while keeping the religious ideals in the background of the story breaking the text into three parts named after three famous women of the Bible: Part One "Bathsheba," Part Two "Eve," and Part Three: "Jael." She utilizes the papers and works of numerous North New England historical societies, diaries, archives, and probate records, along with several secondary sources to gain not only the primary…

Near the tail end of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, he is not afraid to speak his mind in a most irrational manner. For instance, at one point he correlates his situation with a biblical story when he asserts that “David / was bamboozled by Bathsheba and bore the grief” (lines 2419-2420). This is quite laughable to say the very least for the reason that the utter opposite is actually true. Thus, in this moment, I think Sir Gawain merely relies on Scripture to try to make himself feel better.…

Chapter 1 (September 1, 2017): There are a lot of problems that are in this world, and they all stem from sin. Sin is defined “as a condition that results in behavior” (Tripp 10). We live in a sinful world, and as a result we deal with sin in a multitude of ways. People are broken, relationships are torn, and there is a lot of evil and injustice that pervades our world. In my counsel, I must remember to teach about the problem of sin instead of trying to deal with the repercussions of sin. A…

providential care”. (399) Dr. Nelson then looks at evil in a moral view, “this moral view of evil is a major stream in biblical thought. It begins in the second creation narrative, is woven through the stories of Cain and Abel, Babel, David, and Bathsheba, and finds voice in prophetic pronouncement. In this moral vision, evil is rooted in human sin. Creation is tarnished by sin and evil, but evil does not threaten human confidence in a just and meaningful world order”.…
