This dissertation is an examination of confession of sin in the biblical text. By looking at all relevant biblical texts regarding confession of sin, along with representative texts in Second Temple literature and the history of confession of sin since the New Testament Church, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive investigation into the theology of confession of sin and discern appropriate application for the benefit of the church. The opening chapter will include, in addition to the already stated thesis, some methodological discussion surrounding the discipline of Biblical Theology (hereafter abbreviated BT). This dissertation seeks to articulate a progressive, narrative unity across the diverse history and literature of the Christian Scriptures as evidenced in a theology of confession of sin. Also, this method balances rather than excludes the various aspects of historical, literary, and theological interpretation. In the process, the underexplored theme of confession of sin can be more fully investigated and emphases ignored or missed will be underscored. Included within are definitions of important terms and concepts (i.e., confession, sin, and forgiveness). Much of the initial narrowing of passages will focus on [special characters omitted] and its cognates. Chapter two surveys the history of interpretation regarding confession of sin and forgiveness in the church from the New Testament Church to the theology of grace in the Roman Catholic Church and modern evangelical practice. The path from the New Testament to the modern church was a move from public to private confession. Confession of sin is present in the church fathers and, by the Middle Ages, grows into a Roman Catholic sacrament. The Reformation understanding of confession opposed the sacerdotal nature of forgiveness. However, vestiges of Roman Catholic theology carried over into the Protestant church. The psychologization and internalization of sin, guilt, and forgiveness transferred the Roman Catholic process of penance and the confessional to personal confession (usually related to prayer). Modern evangelicals value confession as a necessary aspect of maintaining one's relationship to God. Chapter three will look at specific Old Testament (hereafter OT) passages relating to the concept of confession of sin for the purpose of forgiveness. In addition, these passages will be explained in relation to the storyline of the OT (as well as anticipating how these pieces of the "story" fit into the entire Christian canon). The promise of permanent forgiveness in the OT is fulfilled in the New Testament (hereafter NT). This chapter is crucial in setting a couple of underlying trajectories for the NT: confession in the OT was ongoing, anticipatory, and eschatological. Where confession in the OT is necessary for forgiveness, each act is temporary and anticipates a completion, a time when forgiveness will be permanent. Passages to be examined in the OT include Genesis 3; Lev 5:5; 26:40-42; Num 5:7; Ezra 10:1; Neh 1:6; 9:2; Psalms 32 and 51; Prov 28:13; 1 Kgs 8; 2 Chr 6:26; and Dan 9:4. In examining these OT passages, the importance of confession of sin is demonstrated and a picture emerges of confession as a temporary respite awaiting permanent fulfillment. The NT treats OT realities such as Solomon's dedication of the temple, Daniel's prayer of confession, and the poetry of the Psalter as awaiting final fulfillment in Jesus Christ and his people. The interaction of the NT and OT demonstrates the escalating biblical-theological theme of confession of sin as it progresses through Scripture. The fourth chapter will handle the primary non-canonical literature of the Second Temple period. This chapter will lay out the basic concepts of sin, forgiveness, and confession as they relate to the Second Temple period. This historical inquiry is helpful to understand the New Testament teaching (on its own) and NT interpretation of Old Testament teaching on sin, forgiveness, and confession by demonstrating the common understanding and interpretation of this theme in the early church. One of the important recurring themes of confession of sin is that it is almost always in a communal context. Even a relationship with God is mediated via the community. The emphasis in the literature is primarily on public confession to the community, rather than private confession to God for forgiveness. The fifth chapter will follow the discussion of the OT data with the NT data. A proper NT BT traces the OT storyline and sees how the NT develops and fulfills its prophetic features. The argument will be focused to show that confession language when used to explain forgiveness of sin is usually explicitly initiatory. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest.).
