Resolving the Confusion in Revelation 6:11
- Authors: Edwin Reynolds
  Abstract: In most English versions, Revelation 6:11 includes an interpolation (“the number of”) that changes the meaning of the verse. This article evaluates the evidence for changes in the reading and interpretation of the text and the grammatical problems introduced by the interpolation, looking closely at the Greek grammar and syntax of the passage, which does not allow for the interpolation. Then the literary-historical problems with the interpolation are considered, noting the assumptions behind the interpolation and their weaknesses. Finally, the theological problems created by the interpolation are observed. I conclude that the interpolation is unfounded and attempt to address the intended theological understanding of the verse. The idea of completion or perfection is not related to a certain number of people but to the character of the fellow servants and other believers who are to be killed as the plaintive martyrs were.

Khirbat ‘Ataruz 2015: A Preliminary Report
- Authors: Chang-Ho JI et al.
  Abstract: The biblical site of Ataroth mentioned in the book of Numbers was built by the Gadites and destroyed in the mid-9th century BC by king Mesha of Moab. The site contained a temple complex with a sanctuary and several altars. In 2015, a joint team from La Sierra, Andrews, Averett, and Brigham Young Universities continued excavation at the site. Their primary goal was to explore the north, south, and east edges of the temple complex to determine its full extent, its fortifications, and any domestic living spaces in the area. An outer wall was discovered on the southern side of the temple complex near the dry moat, and a collapsed domestic building was found on the north side. On the east side an Iron Age expansion suggested a possible entrance to the temple complex continuing until the end of the site’s occupation.

Martin Luther’s Understanding of Faith in Relation to Infant Baptism
- Authors: Francis Gayoba
  Abstract: This article explores Martin Luther’s understanding of faith as a means to reconcile the seeming tension between his emphasis on faith in baptism against Roman Catholicism and his de-emphasis on faith against Anabaptism. This tension is most evident in his support of infant baptism despite his belief in sola fide. It is proposed that Luther’s predestinarian understanding of the sovereignty of God influences his perception of the role of faith in baptism, which emphasizes God’s role and de-emphasizes human acts in the ceremony. Luther argues that human faith, while important for the daily application of baptism, cannot be the basis of the sacrament, and therefore, cannot be considered a prerequisite. God’s command and promise alone make baptism valid, even for infants, while human faith makes it efficacious. Hence, in Luther’s thinking, infant baptism is valid. After a descriptive presentation of Luther’s theology, some weaknesses of his position are outlined, specifically (1) that his defense of infant baptism is mainly based on philosophical argumentation, (2) that his emphasis on the validity of the sacrament consequently constitutes an ex opere operato understanding, and (3) that his emphasis on the necessity of both faith and baptism for salvation (for infants and adults) contradicts his teaching of sola fide.

Thinking Systematically with the Scriptural Christology of Hebrews:
Contributions to the Theology of Christ’s Threefold Office
- Authors: Adriani M. Rodrigues
  Abstract: The epistle to the Hebrews presents a rich Christology articulated in dialogue with the OT. This article assumes that the dogmatic potential of Hebrews should enrich the architecture of systematic theology. Accordingly, the study aims at identifying how the conceptual articulation of the Christology of Hebrews contributes to the theology of Christ’s threefold office. To achieve this goal, the article dialogues with categories of the munus triplex (Christ’s threefold office): prophet, priest, and king. After a short description of these categories in Christian theology, the study undertakes a systematic reading of Hebrews by first outlining its material contri- bution to Christology. Then, the article seeks to uncover the formal contribution of Hebrews by exploring how it conceptually uses the OT to articulate its Christological content. The thesis of the article is that the material and the formal dimensions of the Christology of Hebrews enrich the theology of Christ’s threefold office. The conclusions of the study suggest that Christ’s kingship and priest- hood are the ontological content of his eschatological revelation, which is broadly conceived as the prophetic aspect of the munus triplex and is taken as the epistemological principle that expands the meaning of Christ’s life and work.

Repatriating the Canaanite Woman in the Gospel of Matthew
- Authors: Cedric Vine
  Abstract: This study argues that Matthew’s replacement of Mark’s “Gentile of Syrophoenician origin” with a “Canaanite woman” (Mark 7:26; Matt 15:22) is part of a wider narrative strategy to portray the land of Israel and its cities as a new Sodom, a new Canaan, a new Egypt, and a new Babylon. The study employs Dale Allison’s six intertextual devices (explicit statement, inexplicit citation or borrowing, similar circumstances, key words or phrases, similar narrative structure, and word order, syllabic sequence, and poetic resonance) to demonstrate a consistent authorial intention while identifying contemporary or near contemporary sources that would affirm the likelihood that a first-century Christian audience would have noted such an intention.
