Scot McKnight’s Jesus and His Death is, ironically, a breath of life into a field of decay. Against the North American trend which views the question of Jesus’ understanding of his own death as misguided, McKnight assumes as likely that Jesus thought he would die prematurely, in the providence of God, and would probably die at the hands of elites who saw his movement as a potential source of rebellion. It only makes sense, he states, that one who thought he would die, who on other grounds considered himself a prophet, also tried to make sense of that death (p 177). Jewish leaders like this regularly looked to prototypes from the Tanakh in order to make sense of death and destiny, and even if they never saw their deaths as atoning, it was always a short step to the atoning value of these martyrdoms (p 179).The book is suspenseful as it works from a more general discussion of how Jesus made sense of his prophetic mission, to the idea that he thought he would die prematurely, to exactly how he made sense of that death. It gets the foundation right, backing Dale Allison’s important dissertation, The End of the Ages Has Come: Jesus believed he was living in the end times, on the brink of the tribulation period. Like Allison, McKnight favors the collective interpretation of the apocalyptic Son of Man (Dan 7), referring to the suffering and vindication of Jesus and his followers in the last days (p 173) (see also Allison’s Millenarian Prophet, pp 65-66). McKnight examines the Old Testament scripts invoked in the gospels — hardly leaving a stone untouched — and asks whether or not these were used by Jesus to make sense of his impending death. He finds that they do not, dealing instead with how the prophet understood his mission. In Mt 8:20/Lk 9:58, for instance, Jesus applied the script of Psalm 8 (in conjunction with 144) to himself and followers, making sense of the fact that they were itinerants who needed food and shelter (pp 191-194); Lk 9:61-62 points to an early period when Jesus saw himself as Elijah (pp 194-196); the calling of twelve special disciples may indicate a Joshua script, the formation of Israel’s nation at the Jordan River, which would be reconstituted at the apocalypse (Mt 19:28/Lk 22:28-30) (pp 200-201); and especially noteworthy is Mt 10:34-36/Lk 12:51-53, which alludes to the prophecy of Micah, through which we find a rare glimpse into the inner mind of Jesus (citing Caird) (pp 201-204).For this last, McKnight notes how Jesus reversed the expectations of Malachi with Micah. While Elijah was supposed to bring peace and put an end to the family chaos in Micah (Mal 4:6; Mic 7:6), Jesus denied that he brought peace — he brought a sword and division, evidently concluding that he wasn’t Elijah after all (though he may have thought this initially). John was Elijah, while he was more like Micah. From the time of John/Elijah forward there would be an ugly time of tribulation (Mt 11:12/Lk 16:16) (a belief which probably owed in large measure to the rejection Jesus experienced from his own family (p 203)).Moving into tangled territory, McKnight takes on the question of Isaiah’s suffering servant (Isa 52:13-53:12), where Christian tradition has for centuries seen Jesus reflecting on the pivotal meaning of his death. Against many scholars (Dodd, Taylor, Cadoux, Manson, Jeremias, Marshall, Caird, Wright), McKnight demonstrates that the servant song doesn’t provide a reliable anchor here (see pp 207-224). At best Jesus applied Isaiah minimally to his present ordeal (he was despised and rejected by others, a man of suffering), but not the parts later pressed into actual atonement theory (he was wounded for our transgressions

-ne Victory is simply a question of datesThose relying on the farcically redesigned Pajamas Media for their summary of President Bush’s newly announced strategy for victory in a war that began in 2003 will read:and the White House earlier today declassified a document describing that strategy circa 2003. But Pajamas Media goes above and beyond the call of duty in labelling the document as they do, because when you follow the link, there is nothing in the title about it being a 2003 document:November 30, 2005National Strategy for Victory in IraqSections of the actual document (pdf) refer to recent events, so it makes no claim to being a 2003 document, other than a few scattered quotes from Bush from that year.

-ne What is the marginal cost of reducing electric utilities’ carbon dioxide emissions? But, if this 0 estimate is roughly right and if carbon dioxide can be abated at per ton there would be some efficiency gains from increasing such abatement!The New York Times does not explain why electric utilities have such a low marginal cost of abating CO2. Did the Anticipation that a Kyoto style permit market would eventually be adopted affect capital investments by electric utilities?November 7, 2005 , New York TimesEditorialClimate SignalsPresident Bush has long argued that a nationwide program of mandatory controls on carbon dioxide and other global warming gases would saddle the country with crippling electricity costs. It applies only to power plants, which account for about one-third of carbon dioxide emissions, and would not regulate emissions from cars and others sources.Still, that measly -per-ton figure should embarrass the Bush people who’ve been warning that controls will bring economic ruin (Clear Skies regulates other pollutants but not carbon dioxide), while providing encouragement to those in Congress who believe that action on warming is long overdue.Not that there’s any shortage of incentives.

here’s a version of last Sunday’s sermon–a version because I ended up ditching my script and notes, but the essence of what I said is there (here?)Matthew 25:1 13 1 The Reign of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were silly but the others were wise. 3 The silly ones took their lamps but did not take any oil to light their lamps. 4 However, the wise ones took their lamps and they also carried some oil for the lamps along with them. 5 The bridegroom was taking a long time to arrive, and all ten of the bridesmaids became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 At midnight the announcement came: ‘The bridegroom is here! Come on out to meet him!’ 7 Then all ten of the young girls woke up and trimmed their lamps,8 and the silly ones said to the wise, Give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out. 9 ‘No,’ the wise ones replied, ‘there’s not enough for us and for you, as well. You need to go into the marketplace and buy some oil for yourselves.’ 10 But as they went on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived, and the five wise young bridesmaids who already had oil for their lamps went in to the wedding celebration with him and the door was shut. 11 Later the other five, the silly young bridesmaids, also arrived and called to the bridegroom, ‘Sir! Sir!’ they said. ‘Open the door to the celebration for us!’ 12 But the groom answered, I tell you the truth, I dont know you. 13 “Therefore, keep looking out for the Reign of Heaven and be prepared for it, because you do not know the day or the hour of the Lord Jesus arrival right here in our very midst.” Be Wise, Be Ready Lets pray together: All living creatures with the same breathe you sustain And to your Spirits well nobody comes in vain. Give that we understand the language of your call, Uphold us by your hand; write your name on us all! [C. Michael De Vries, alt.] Amen! The story or parable we just heard from Matthews gospel tells about a bridegroom and a wedding celebration: in the culture of Jesus world, the about to be married groom would travel from his own house to the home of his intended to conclude the wedding contract. After that, both bride and groom would go back to his house to celebrate the wedding feast; instead of going away on a honeymoon, the wedding couple would hold sort of an open house for their friends and relatives. Just as in this parable, the bridesmaids would wait outside the grooms house. At night they did not allow anyone out in the streets without light, and they didnt have street lights, so you needed to have both lamps and oil to light those lamps with you at all times. No wedding invitations specified a starting time or necessarily a particular day—the groom could arrive whenever, even at midnight or in the middle of the night. Once the wedding festivities began, they locked the door to the grooms house, and no one else could enter the party. In other words, it was not possible to be too early, but it was possible to be too late and miss the opportunity for getting in to the feast and the dancing. A parable is an allegory

Over the next five years a further 6 GW is likely to be built at a cost of £7 billion in the rush to meet the Government’s target of 10% renewable energy by 2010.’The plan is for wind energy to deliver three-quarters of the target but that, as this paper explains, would actually require 12 GW, meaning the target will not be met. Furthermore, experience in Denmark and Germany shows that the UK will find it impractical to manage much over 10 GW of unpredictable wind power without major new storage schemes or inter-connectors.’The paper concludes that while wind power should be exploited as fully as possible, it must not be at the expense of renewing existing firm generating capacity.’This practical limit to the adoption of wind energy in the UK is well below that currently planned up to 2020, and Sharman believes that this limit should be sensibly reached in offshore locations, where wind speeds are higher and where the wind turbines can be brought in closer to major centres of load, thus reducing the need for extensive, uneconomic, grid expansion which is ecologically damaging (such as that currently proposed throughout Scotland).This article confirms findings in the E.ON Netz Wind Report 2005 which states: ‘The inescapable conclusion to be drawn from the German experience is that the unsophisticated nature of the UK’s Renewables Obligation is driving us towards an irrational over-commitment to an unreliable and extremely expensive energy source with an extremely large and deep environmental footprint. ‘According to John Constable, Policy and Research Director for the Renewable Energy Foundation said: At a time when the UK should be addressing its need for reliable generation, we now see from European data that wind is unable to contribute any significant firm capacity to the power portfolio, and offers only very expensive fuel saving and emissions reduction…A review of UK renewables policy is now unavoidable. SEE MAP OF OPERATIONAL WIND FARMS UK HERE IN A RELATED STORY: The global wind industry has reached a 50 GW milestone of wind energy capacity installed worldwide, with an increase in total installed generating capacity of 20% over 2004, said representatives at the Global Wind Energy Council’s (GWEC) Windmasters Dinner in Husum, Brussels on 22nd September 2005.’Wind Force 12, a blueprint to achieve 12% of the world’s electricity from wind power by 2020′ is an annual global wind energy assessment that has been conducted regularly since 1999. We have suggested several ways to develop this industry which has a vital role in climate change, sustainable development throughout the country and economic activity in rural areas.’Heat has been the forgotten part of the energy debate - enough waste heat is emitted from our power stations to heat the country one and a half times over - but our findings show that producing heat either alone or in Combined Heat and Power plants is by far the most efficient way of using biomass.’There are many renewable sources of electricity but biomass is the only widely-available source of renewable heat.

This Latin phrase means Nature does not make jumps.] The difficulty, represented by a very gradual or practically imperceptible rate of evolution, was a very necessary part of Darwin’s theory. Paleontologists have documented virtually no cases of slow and steady transformation, foot by foot up the strata of a hillslope - not for horses, not for humans.[The New York Times, Jan. 22, 1978, p. E6.] Behind that brief reference to horses lay a long story, which culminated in the early 20th century with the setting up, in the American Museum of Natural History in New York, of a large display of the fossil record of the evolution of the modern horse. It prompted Lull to introduce, in his book already quoted, the chapter on horses with a minor panegyrics:The evolution of the horse has for humanity a very deep interest because of the debt of gratitude which man owes to this humble servitor and comrade and because of the fact that, largely through the unwearying efforts of Professor Marsh of Yale University, a collection of fossil horses was there assembled which was to prove the first documentary record of the evolution of a race. Newspapers, always on the lookout for scandals and ready to unveil frauds, did not find it newsworthy that countless visitors to that display in New York had been kept in the dark for over half a century about an all important deception built into it: The data were presented as a proof of an orthogenetic evolution of horses, which, of course, turned out to be phylogenetic.

They are better informed (because they do things like finding the original research rather than relying on news reports) and are likely to have suffered a bit more education.Secondly, it is just possible - crazy idea here, but I shall float it anyway - that ID cards are a bit like the EU constitution: the more you know about it, the more you begin to see that you don’t like it…YouGov supports this:Do you support the introduction of ID cards? you know, the one where 73% said they knew little or nothing about ID cards) so their view is more likely to concur with the response levels once all information is taken into account.The second post is from Bloggers4Labour and concerns the idea of a private company running the ID Card scheme.Perhaps the solution is to run the ID system entirely within the private sector (I’m thinking: one huge software/integration company), within the bounds of the Data Protection Acts, albeit giving government officials special levels of access, plus special hardware and software.Frankly I’d feel reassured about the use of the data, and I’m convinced that not only would the cost savings be great, but the capacity for costs to spiral would be lessened.This begs the question: what’s in it for the private sector? If this happens, one of four things may happen:The company goes bustThe company raises the price of the cards anywayThe company cuts its losses and dumps the contractThe government steps in and bails the company out, or otherwise subsidises the cards.None of these options gets around the inevitable rise in development costs.Thirdly, if you authorise just one firm to do this work you are creating a monopoly.

My focus in this post is on Kapur’s analysis of the woeful situation regarding education in India: “Critics of liberalization in India incessantly harp on the necessity of increasing national government expenditures on health and education. Granville Austin tells us that during the drafting of the constitutional provisions relating to education in the constituent assembly, there was a debate among the framers about whether education should be shifted to either the union or concurrent lists, so that the Central government would be able to enact laws on education. Maulana Azad, who went on to become independent India’s first Union minister for Education, strongly opposed leaving education entirely to the states, and garnered support for his view from Nehru and other influential members of the Constituent Assembly. The situation was resolved by retaining education in the state list, but also including entries relating to higher education and scientific and technical institutions in the Union and Concurrent lists, thereby giving the Central government the power to make policies and enact laws to regulate essential aspects of education. In 1976, via the 42nd constitutional amendment, education was moved from the State to the Concurrent list, presumably to give the Central government a larger role in enabling the provision of education at a national level. Activists involved in education have long asserted that creating a right for education was not the issue (especially because the Supreme Court had already asserted such a right in the early-1990s).

what needs to be stressed to-day is that God is a God to be feared. Happy the soul that has been awed by a view of God’s majesty, that has had a vision of God’s awful greatness, His ineffable holiness, His perfect righteousness, His irresistible power, His sovereign grace. Nevertheless, it still stands written, “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him” (Psa 103:13)!When we speak of godly fear, of course, we do not mean a servile fear, such as prevails among the heathen in connection with their gods. And nothing will foster this godly fear like a recognition of the sovereign majesty of God.–A.W.

It would have been helpful to have had more information before today’s breakfast, but that is the way this trip works we get route sheets and information about the day’s ride at breakfast. The problems with my joints were the major reason why I stopped riding today, that combined with the fact that I was having trouble keeping up with even the slowest riders. Sometimes I don’t appreciate how far we ride when I ride my bicycle. Today I rode the second half of the ride in a van, it was a surprisingly long ride. I also waited at a rest stop for riders we had passed on the road to arrive, it took a very long time. The perspective of distance for bicycle riders is different from that of people in a riding in a car, but I don’t think long distance cyclists really see how far they go each day.

Array Wright is from Seattle, Washington -and- he has just been presented with the gift of a fine custom speed boat by a San Diego based company called Ultra Boats.Jason Ewing of Ultra Boats shows Marine Sgt. The vessel is specially outfitted so that Wright can drive the boat using his prosthetic arms, before the boat was put in the water at Camp Pendleton on Thursday. Wright’s new boat :The 425-horsepower boat was custom-airbrushed with scuba-fitted skeletons —- a stylized Marine reconnaissance team —- swimming through blue flames with Wright at the lead —- his new prosthetic arms with hooks in full stroke.The powerful speed, ski and scuba vessel was rigged with voice-controlled navigational and operational gear that can be operated by Wright alone.Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?If there are any Southern California based folks reading this - please tell your friends and neighbors to consider a visit to Ultra Custom Boats for their next boat purchase.

THE PRAYER EXAMINATIONThe Examen was developed by St. Ignatius Loyola who was a practical kind of person which is reflected in this daily method ofprayer he recommended to his brothers. They prayed it numerous times per day as part of their daily rhythm of life.It is is a prayer where we try to find the movement of the Spirit in our daily lives as we review our day. This prayer can be made anywhere—on the beach, in a car, at home, in the library.The following is just one interpretation (of many) of these five steps to discerning the movement of Gods Spirit in your day.Before you start: Try to be in a place where you are least likely to be disturbed, and where there is the least amount ofexternal noise. RECALL THAT YOU ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF GODWe are always in God’s presence, but in prayer we place ourselves in God’s presence in an especially attentive way. LOOK AT YOUR DAY WITH GRATITUDEAfter a few moments, begin to give thanks to God for the gifts of today. As you move in gratitude through the details of your day give thanks to God for his presence in the big and the small things of your life.3. ASK HELP FROM THE HOLY SPIRITBefore the next step of reviewing your day, ask that God’s Spirit might help you to look at your actions and attitudes. This is not psychoanalysis, rather it is a time for you to discern your daily motives, actions and reactions. Did I give time to God each day in prayer?2. Did I have false gods in my life that I gave greater attention to than God, like money, profession, drugs, TV, fame, pleasure, property, etc.?———————————-3. Did I give a full day’s work for a full day’s pay?17. Here you talk with God about your day.

Here are some excerpts, but the whole thing is worth a read.Conservatives’ mission: save Bush presidencyBY DICK POLMAN Knight Ridder Newspapers Let’s put it in Texas terms: President Bush is trying to blast his way out of Credibility Gap. Given all this restiveness about Bush, it’s debatable whether he can win back the American majority by shifting the focus to his critics - and assailing them as weak-kneed opportunists who are endangering the troops. 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta had met in Prague with an agent for Saddam Hussein - even though the Czechs, the CIA and the FBI told the White House, long before the war, that no such meeting had occurred;

My first campaign for the House of Delegates in 1991 resulted in an official loss, but a recount win. Down 17 votes by the official tally of approximately 13,000, I requested a recount. While the official results will not be certified until November 28, it appears–no matter the outcome–that we are headed for a recount.
Creigh has tapped two respected Virginia experts to help him ensure the recount is thorough and accurate and to prepare for an orderly transition. Larry Frame, former Democratic Party chair and leader of former Governor Wilder’s successful recount effort in 1989, will lead the canvass and recount team.

Array I remember jokingly telling my son a few years ago that his mother would rather run 10 miles to tell a lie than to sit still and tell the truth. The only trouble is, there’s more truth to that than I care to admit.This probably means that we won’t be able to go to our son’s Christmas banquet on the 10th of next month.

I can’t love doing calc work at all so I accept my lack of success in that area. I love the verse in the Bible that says, If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. We can live our whole lives as Keim’s definition of a success, but if you can’t even find an ounce of love in your daily routine for anything, you are nothing. Sometimes its important to put away the text book and say forget the calc test and show someone you really love them despite anything else.

In chapter 28 when Keim says: Contrary to the old adage, you can fool all the people all the time, I immediately thought of BTK. It would be easier to label BTK a monster because then I don’t have to think about the fact that, in reality, myself and every human being I know is capable– deep-down inside— of being someone just like BTK.Let’s all hold hands and decide together that we should actually fear the darkness inside ourselves, and do something about it, before our lives ever become like the flawless facade of BTK.

You are the only one that can judge your success level because you are the only one who knows how hard you have really tried.I also like the chapter on love because I believe that love helps in any situation.

Array-ne UPDATED Hezbollah got Lebanon into this war over a single Lebanese citizen imprisoned in Israel. The Lebanese part presented to its Syrian counterpart queries regarding a list sumbitted that carried the names of 850 Lebanese citizens…Source: Syrian Human Rights Committee, 2006.Who were/are the Lebanese held in Syria? - Support of Lebanese in Detention and Exile.————And here is the Lebanese in Israeli prison:Samir Kantar is serving life. An Israeli court sentenced Samir to 542 years in jail, of which he has served more than a quarter of a century (H/T Yourish).Accroding to the BBC, Samir is the only remaining Lebanese prisoner in Israel. All I could find on Mohammad is an enquiry from the Lebanese Fishing Union.Badran insisted Sarafand’s fishermen had stopped using dynamite to catch fish after strict measures were adopted by authorities to end the practice.He also called on the government to determine the fate of fisherman Mohammad Farran. Nasim Nisr is also held by Israel for his crimes, but he is an Israeli rather than Lebanese.

I have had trouble with getting a good result from Springsharp with the GB/CS/1914 scout cruiser. This and a fast gunboat design were conceived by my friend Cliff, back in 1971, as what he wanted to build, starting in 1915. I have tried to stay close to his concept, while working at having an acceptable Springsharp report. The main concern I have about what the design is the roll period is probably too short. The ship has an ambitious 32 knot speed and carries 4-6in QF guns with 4-21in TT. I worked in some light protection, and Springsharp did that while still letting me get by with the fast, light combatant strength (between 0.5 and 1.0). This is the Springsharp report:

GB/CS/1915, Great Britain Scout Cruiser laid down 1915 (Engine 1941)

Displacement:

Unfortunately, it sure as heck seems that the 25 men that actually have the most say in the matter believed the hype way too much and way too early.The A’s aren’t a bad team, but they aren’t as good as the Sox, either. Though that’s undoubtedly true, the fact remains that the Sox are in first with time to right the ship.If I’m back here in 3 days trying to rationalize a series loss to the Royals, you have my permission to send out a search party for the guy that’s assumed my identity.

-ne Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; He will, however, respond, as evidenced by the phrase, …and I will draw near unto you.In the above quoted scripture, notice the verbs: draw, seek, ask, knock. We can make time in our prayers to be still and quiet, holding the thought of the Lord in our minds, listening for His response.Learning to draw near to the Lord is one of the most important and most basic things we can do as we seek to work out our salvation.Labels: scripture

Je ne vais pas rouvrir le dossier de l’enseignement gratuit: j’ai déjà expliqué qu’il ouvrait la porte à toutes sortes d’abus, comme celui de se permettre de passer quatorze ans à faire des études qui n’en demandent que trois ou quatre. Ce sur quoi j’aimerais insister cette fois, c’est le drame que cela implique par rapport aux autres diplômés de l’institut: ceux qui bossent, finissent en 4 ans, arrivent sur le marché de l’emploi et se retrouvent obligés de faire carrière dans un centre d’appel pour un salaire de misère à cause de gens comme ce monsieur qui ruinent la valeur du diplôme et la qualité de la formation. ne voit-on pas que c’est exactement le contraire qui se produit??!La situation de l’enseignement supérieur en Tunisie devient absolument critique et je suis consterné de voir que personne ne bouge pour dénoncer tout le mal qu’on fait à l’université.
