Kingdom Count










  • TO ILLUSTRATE SET THEORY, WE DID AN IN-CLASS EXERCISE. STUDENTS HAD TO DECIDE WHICH SIDE OF THE ROOM TO STAND ON. BASED ON WHICH OF EACH PAIR THEY PREFERRED.
    PICK A SIDE OF THE ROOM TO STAND ON FOR EACH PAIR:



















    • TARGET OR WAL-MART

    • JEW OR GENTILE
    • FOX OR CNN
    • LENNO OR MCCARTNEY
    • ROCK OR COUNTRY
      APPLE OR ORANGE
      MAC OR WINDOWS

      THIS HELPED INTRODUCE SET THEORY:





      ONE OF THE MOST HELPFUL WAYS OF UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE...AND LIFE..IS SET THEORY.
      YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW THE THREE SETS FOR MOODLE  AND OTHER ASSIGNMENTS.
      MANY SUCCESSFUL SIGNATURE PAPERS INCORPORATE SET THEORY.

    Set theory:

    CHIASM


    Who is Jesus in Matthew?

    Potential theses for your paper:


    • The One unafraid to include outcasts
    • The New Moses
    • The One who reinterprets the law
    • The One who speaks in offensive parables
    • The One who brings au upside-down, counter-cultural Kingdom
    • The One who heals ---------------
    • The One unafraid of going to "the other side"
    • The fulfilment of Scripture
    • The one who speaks in chiasm
    • The One who comes against prejudice
    • The One who tricks, triumphs over, and trumps the devil and evil ("Christus Victor")
    • The One who is "with you"
    • The One who subverts empire/refuses political temptations
    • The One who thinks Pharisees (Sadducees etc) are _______________
    • A Jewish rabbi

    We watched the first video of 4.1:

    THE OTHER SIDE: 


    This involves about 35 minutes total of video  We didn't watch this in class, bur recommeneded.Watch all three videos (one by Dave, two by our Israel tour guide, Ray Van Der Laan), carefully, enjoy,, Remember Dave said this lesson on "the other side" is often the one students find most helpful to use in their final paper

    • 1. FIRST: Watch  this 5 minute intro video by Dave to the theme "The Other Side."  

                      2. SECOND: Watch this   12 minute video from Ray Van Der Laan, filmed on the Sea of Galilee,  "When Storms Come" This will include the theme of " the other side", and let you see what the "historical world" of water symbolized.

                                 3. THIRD: click  this  to watch  15 minute Ray Van Der Laan video filmed on the "other side" of the sea: "Piercing the Darkness"  It might help a lot  to re-read a related short Kraybill  "Upside Down Kingdom" section: bottom of p  208-210 here  OR  from middle of p. 198-202 in the 2018 edition.



    c) EXTRA EXTRA CRED> Close the deal.. watch seven  minutes of  extra video from Dave ( part 1   and part 2 . Ignore any references to a previous class)  in which he applies this theme to the phrase "the other side of the tracks."   Respond with a 1-2 sentence (longer OK)text to Dave on the video, and 1-2 sentences (longer OK) on which you talk about a city/town you live in (or know of), and identify where the "other side" might be in that city/town.


    ------------------------------------------------------

    Here's the "sign" for "the other side"

    Notice an interesting RECURRENCE OF THE PHRASE "the other side" IN CHAPTERS 8-10 of Matthew:


    Wonder what's up with that?  Hint:
    • Q>Who is Jesus in Matthew?  
                    A>The one who is not afraid to go to "THE OTHER SIDE"
