Thesis (Ph.D.)--Southern Methodist University, 2007.

This dissertation proposes a narrative rhetorical methodology for exploring biblical theology. It explores the text of the (Protestant) Christian biblical canon from a literary perspective in order to elucidate explicit theological claims and underlying biblical assumptions concerning the conception(s) of justice in the biblical text. This method is applied specifically to selected texts that contain a density of justice terminology: Jeremiah, Matthew and Romans.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation proposes a narrative rhetorical methodology for exploring biblical theology. It explores the text of the (Protestant) Christian biblical canon from a literary perspective in order to elucidate explicit theological claims and underlying biblical assumptions concerning the conception(s) of justice in the biblical text. This method is applied specifically to selected texts that contain a density of justice terminology: Jeremiah, Matthew and Romans.
520 $a After an introductory chapter outlining this method, the next three chapters explore each individual book. Chapter two discusses each text that contains a key term for justice, tsedek, in Jeremiah and related narratives that elaborate on the conceptions of justice introduced by the term. Predominantly we see that the book of Jeremiah develops conceptions of justice related to the injustice of the Jerusalem elite and a portrayal of the innocent, especially the prophet Jeremiah. Underlying these conceptions are a vision of YHWH as innocent and just, which serves as a measure for the justice and innocence of others, and a claim that YHWH carries out justice in the earth by punishing the unjust.
520 $a Chapter three on the gospel of Matthew explores the relationship between the Sermon on the Mount's use of justice terminology (dikiao-roots) and following narratives that show Jesus enacting this justice on behalf of others. I describe this vision of justice as "justice-in-mercy" as Jesus enacts deeds of justice for those marginalized within society. The theological claims and assumptions behind this vision of justice are that Jesus, as God-with-us, embodies the benevolent nature of the Father in the heavens, that the Father expects a similar lifestyle of the disciples in the Jesus-community, and that this benevolent mercy finds its foundation already in the key demands of Torah.
520 $a Paul's letter to the Romans is the focus of chapter four. In Romans Paul offers the gospel story as an answer to the theodicy questions introduced in the book of Habakkuk. He intends to show that, in Jesus Christ, God answers Habakkuk's plea both for God's just judgment against injustice and for God's mercy to be revealed again. This vision of God's justice serves as the foundation for the demand for a just community in Romans embodied in upbuilding speech, giving food and drink to enemies, taking on the insults of others, honoring authorities, all of which fulfill the love command.
520 $a The final chapter explores areas where the conceptions of justice in these texts both converge and diverge. These texts converge in their vision of God's chief desire to show mercy, their insistence (nevertheless) that God will enact just judgment, that the agents of God's justice suffer their own injustice, and that, at the human level, justice is proper regard for one's neighbor. The divergent views include differing conceptions of how justice is enacted, the role of the law and the prophets in forming justice, as well as their visions of how human agents enact justice.
