Het ‘Huis van JHWH’ en het ‘Verzoek van de weduwe’
Authors: Bob Becking & Jan A. WagenaarAbstractDiscussion of two recently published paleo-Hebrew inscriptions. The first inscription contains the commission of a king Eshyahu to give three shekels of silver to the ‘temple of Yhwh’ . Eshyahu might be identical with the Eshyahu mentioned in the 7th/6th century BCE Arad ostraca who was a local governor, or could be a non-Israelite king. The ‘temple of Yhwh’ does not necessarily refer to the Solomonic temple. The second inscription contains the plea of a widow asking a local officer, probably at Lakish, to give her a field that had been promised to her late husband, but was given to her brother-in-law instead. This inscription is of great importance for our understanding of Israelite legal practices.

Het probleem van de onderscheiding der geesten bij Paulus
By Johan S. VosAbstractIn the theology of the apostle Paul a basic tension exists in the evaluation of pneumatic phenomena. On the one hand, the apostle maintains the necessity of discerning the spirits; on the other hand, the immunity of the ‘spiritual man’ is asserted. A model for discerning the spirits cannot be found in the letters of Paul. Concerning his own revelation, he only subjects himself to the procedure of testing on the basis of a special revelation. Faced with the problem of conflicting pneumatic pretentions, the apostle can only state his own pneumatic superiority over against others. In these cases the discernment of the spirits is above all a matter of individual persuasive power.

De Confessiones herlezen
By M.B. PrangerAbstractThis article discusses two recent publications about Augustine’s Confessions: Brian Stock’s, Augustine the Reader (1996) and Heidegger’s lectures on Augustine (published in 1995). Stocks’s focus is on the construction and re-construction of the self as narrated in the conversion story and as discussed from a philosophical point of view in the last four books of the Confessions and in De trinitate. Heidegger takes as his point of departure book X of the Confessions, in particular Augustine’s description of his fight against the persistent temptations of the senses. In both cases it is the self as construed by memory which is at the centre of narration and meditation. It is argued tentatively that a further assessment of those problems ought to take into account the accomplishments of Stock and Heidegger while being more specific about the poetical nature of the Confessions.

Over de noëtische gevolgen van de zonde Een filosofische beschouwing
More LessAbstractMany expressions in the bible suggest that sin has noetic effects. Through sin, it is said, our minds have been clouded, our understandings darkened; through sin we suppress the truth in unrighteousness. The aim of this paper is to make sense of these suggestions. The first section introduces some relevant epistemological distinctions and clarifies the relations between knowing, thinking, and truth. The second section gives a rough overview of the empirical evidence various Calvinists (Calvin, Kuyper, Greijdanus and Dooyeweerd) adduced for the thesis that sin has noetic effects. The next two sections discuss the question whether someone who believes that this thesis is true, should therefore become a sceptic. It is argued he should not. The final section summarizes some questions concerning the noetic effects of sin that deserve careful consideration.
