.... Introduction In this essay the writers are going to discuss the statement that says “infiltration model is the best model to describe settlement of Israel in Canaan”. Nonetheless contradiction between the two books, Joshua and Judges. The book of Joshua reports the complete conquest (Josh 11:16-17) listing the conquered kings and cities; Jerusalem (Jebus), Hebron, and Taanach, whereas the book of Judges does not support the book of Joshua’s claim of an “all-at-once” military conquest of Canaan listing the unconquered territory (Judg 1:9); Jerusalem (Jebus), Hebron, and Taanach examples will be given and other models will be given such as the conquest model and social revolution model. Main discussion and conclusion will be given Main discussion The Peaceful Infiltration Model Albrecht Alt and Martin Noth were responsible for the peaceful infiltration. According to Alt, the stories in Genesis about Abraham, Isaac and Jacob preserve some genuine historical memories of the nomadic people who became the Israelites. These nomads or semi-nomads had migrated into Canaan. They had previously worshiped different gods, who are reflected in the different titles used for the divine name in the stories of the patriarchs. At first they settled in the empty spaces away from the Canaanite cities, that is, in the highlands. With the decline of the Canaanite city-state system, they were able to occupy the lowlands as well. According to Noth, Israelites could not have been indigenous to...

...figures in the story, but has grown into great speculation because of the difficulty of designating him a locality and function. Margalith argues that the entire chapter is in the “nature of a hero-story or legend” that is “a badly-cobbled medley of episodes dimly remembered from past traditions.” Margalith’s solution to the identity of Melchizedek is based on three main reasons. First, he claims that the city was not called Salem and had been called Jerusalem by all the people in the area and neighboring lands for thousands of years before the Bible. Second, there is no other place in the Bible where “this city called Shalem.” The whole style of Genesis 14 demands that if the city of Jerusalem was the intention, it would be indicated as “Jebus” to support other biblical locations such as Judges 19:10-11 and 1 Chronicles 11:4. Third, Jerusalem is outside the area identified in the story. Margalith claims it is improbable that a large raiding-party returning with spoils, Lot, Lot’s wives and children, and property would not have taken a route near Jerusalem. Instead they would have used the King’s Highway along the east bank. They then would go either along the east shore of the Dead Sea or across the river and next along the western shore to Sodom. Margalith’s theory is based on the concept of the city of Jerusalem and its relationship to Melchizedek. Part 2 - Larry R. Overstreet - “The Superiority of Christ: The Identity of Melchizedek in Hebrews” R. Larry Overstreet presents...

...Introduction In modern society, especially since the 1960s, there has been a strong push for women’s equality. There are many Christians and non-Christians who believe Christianity had a hand in the perpetuation of the patriarchy leading to misogyny. Christians who oppose this idea may argue that it is founded on a lack of theological knowledge, that there is biblical evidence supporting that God desires equality, and that discrimination is not condoned in biblical stories and teachings. It is easy to initially construct the notion of misogyny in the Old Testament when acquiring only a shallow view of scripture. However, when applying a hermeneutical approach, one can see that equality among genders is a common theme. The Bible itself is, without a doubt, patriarchal in nature, but presents evidence of equality. Of note is the theme of religious equality; “that is, equality of the woman as a person before God.” This essay will explore various events in the Bible, beginning in Genesis, to support the claim that the Old Testament, though patriarchal, is not misogynistic and demeaning to women. Equality in Genesis Genesis states, “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Gen 1:27, NKJV). This verse provides evidence for equality between women and men and that they are both made in the image of God. Taking a look at Genesis 1:26-28 as a whole shows that the words “image” or “likeness” were used four times...
