Abstract:Scholars have widely recognized the colonial setting of the Book of Jonah, which includes the ambiguity of speaking of an Assyrian Empire that is long gone. The imperial setting of this book, moreover, has led interpreters to speak from their own place. For instance, in his postcolonial reading of Jonah, Chesung Justin Ryu reads Jonah in terms of his South Korean context, which continues to harbor deep wounds from being colonized by Japan. The harm done by colonizers long gone can thus be said to extend over many generations, as future generations inevitably have to deal with the effects of colonialism. In conversation with contemporary literary trauma theory, I consider this intersection of trauma and colonialism associated with the Book of Jonah and, furthermore, explore the way in which literature, and specifically narratives, may offer a safe space for working through trauma—one could say to face the colonizer, both real and imagined. Read in this way, the Book of Jonah may be viewed as a symbolic trauma narrative that is shaped by its imperial context but also in distinctive ways seeks to come to terms with the trauma wrought by a succession of empires.

Abstract:In this article, I argue that reading the locust plagues of Joel and Sefire intertextually adds fresh insights to the interpretation of the function of time in both texts. In Joel, the prophet utilizes an indeterminate number of years when referring to the destruction of the locust plague to highlight the limited nature of the destruction caused by the plague and to encourage the community to hope in the approaching restoration of the land. In the Sefire inscriptions, Bar-Ga’yah calls for a seven-year locust plague to signal to Mati‘el that his land will have no hope of material prosperity or survival if he breaks the treaty. Narratives of locust plagues depict an experience common to all people in the ancient Near East, and these texts highlight the adaptability of this common image. Locusts can incite terror in communities, but they can also function as harbingers of hope.

Abstract:Interest in the letters of Paul the Apostle and in the topic of Pauline theology never seems to wane. Several recent studies have shown promise in pursuing pastoral aspects of Paul’s theology, but apart from passing references that one finds in commentaries and Pauline theologies, and the acknowledgment, even from antiquity, that Paul was a pastor to his communities, there has not been a substantive synthetic “pastoral theology” of Paul that illustrates the intersection of his theology and his pastoral practice as exhibited in his letters. Using examples from Romans, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon, I suggest that such a study shows promise.
