Abstract:

The primary objective of this thesis is to reconsider the significance of the canonical portrayal of Moses the intercessor in the aftermath of "documentary" pentateuchal criticism. Not disregarding the diachronic dimension of the text, at the heart of this study is a close theological reading of Exodus 32-34 and Numbers 13-14 in their final form with focus on the nature and theological function of Moses' prayers. The intercessions evoke important theological questions, especially with regard to divine mutability, reputation, purpose, and covenant. It will become evident that Moses’ prayers embody a hermeneutical key to biblical theology. The choice of the two key narratives is endorsed by their strong inner-biblical associations. Two are of particular importance: I) Moses' intercession in Numbers 14:11-19 clearly wants to be understood in relation to Exodus 34:6-7, YHWH's fullest revelation of His name, which in itself is the result of Moses' engaging prayer activity (Ex. 32-33). By appealing to YHWH's name (Nu. 14:18), Moses sets an important biblical paradigm of authentic prayer. II) We shall see that YHWH's disclosure of His name remains a somewhat abstract reality in the context of the golden calf account. I shall advance the thesis, however, that YHWH's fullest revelation of His name (Ex. 34:6-7) is enacted in Numbers 14 in a specific and concrete situation and stands thus as a kind of commentary on Exodus 34:6-7.Another central aspect of this study is to bring Moses' intercessory activity into canonical connection with his prophetic qualities. It has long been noticed that Moses is presented as Israel's archetypal prophet. His prophetic role, however, has rarely been brought into constructive relation with his role as intercessor. Our study of Moses' intercessory prayers is preceded by some hermeneutical reflections and a survey of recent literature on Old Testament intercessory prayers.

Abstract:

The establishment of a new concept of intercessory prayer, from an activity sought of the individual holy man to an occupation characterizing an entire monastic community, has recently received much attention; historians have shown that the function of intercession had become, by the Carolingian period, the pre-eminent feature of early medieval monasticism. The role of early medieval monasteries as powerhouses of prayer has encouraged scholarly attention along two particular areas of interest: intercession within the system of medieval patronage and gift exchange, and monastic ritual elaboration. Missing in the main historiographical approaches is discussion concerning the place of intercessory prayer within the monastic ideal. This study therefore asks the central question, ‘What was the relationship between the intercessory function of monasticism and the ascetic concern for moral conversion in the time of the reforms of Benedict of Aniane, c. 750-820?’ The writings of Carolingian monastic reformers demonstrate that the chief concern of the monk was to seek and find perfection in God; it is the argument of this study that the elaborate liturgical intercession which characterized early medieval monasticism was coherent with this goal. The Introduction sets out to establish the continuity of the ascetic pursuit in the Carolingian monastic ideal with earlier monasticism. We then order our investigation by: i) proposing that monastic liturgical organization was meant to address the fundamental problem of human sin which impedes fruitful prayer, and that the additions of intercessory liturgy made by Benedict of Aniane should be seen as part of his pastoral concern for the holiness of monks (Chapter 1); ii) situating the specific intercessory performances of monastic communities – namely, the intercessory Mass and the Divine Office – within Carolingian monastic theology (Chapters 2 and 3); iii) examining how the prayer directed toward two groups of beneficiaries of intercession – fellow monks and rulers – was grounded on the the ascetic goals of moral conversion and pilgrimage toward the celestial kingdom (Chapters 4 and 5); and iv) addressing the question of what role Carolingian monastics meant for their intercessory prayers to play in society at large, and the extent to which general social concern was a priority in monastic intercession (Chapter 6). This study provides a detailed description of the ascetic ideal required for understanding the formalized ritual and patronized prayer of monasteries within its proper sphere of monastic spirituality. I conclude in particular that the increasing importance of monastic intercession was related to a heightened emphasis in Carolingian spiritual thought on the teleological theme of transformation both individual and cosmic. The intercessory function of early medieval monasticism suggests an incorporation of the spiritual pilgrimage of the wider world into the monk’s own individual discipline, and tied the monk’s ascesis to the larger story of the conversion of the world to God.

Abstract:

This study investigates the christological significance of Jesus' prayer-life in Luke-Acts. It is maintained that Luke's peculiar interest in Jesus' prayers relates to his depiction of Jesus as the Praying Eschatological Deliverer who is event This perspective is established by means of a study of inter-testamental Judaism and its belief in human, heavenly intercessors. It is found that, while Luke's view of Jesus' prayer-life is similar, he makes a distinctive contribution to NT ch Furthermore, Luke intimates by means of his redaction throughout the gospel, and states explicitly through his use of Stephen's vision in Acts 7:55-56, that Jesus prayed in this life as the heavenly Intercessor come to earth; he now continues to.

Abstract:

This document addresses prayer ministry in the church as a facilitator in Promoting spiritual and physical healing in the body of Christ, and stresses that prayer is the weapon that God has given to the church to destroy the works of Satan and to establish the kingdom of God. The methodology for this model of ministry includes personal, leadership, and congregational preparation through scripture and prayer, the formation of prayer groups, and practical participation in intercessory prayer. Qualitative analytical research and review revealed after a period of three months that prayer ministry in church is key to spiritual renewal both within and outside the church, and a source of power for effective ministry.

Abstract:

This dissertation explores congregational participation in worship services in the discipline of “Building up the local Church”. The research indicates the levels of participation within worship services of 98 respondents. I have felt that the low levels of participation (43 % of the respondents reported no active congregational participation and in 93% of the indicated the congregation were involved in two or less areas of the worship service) contribute to the practice of nominal Christianity. The congregation view themselves as the ‘Audience’(passive participants) at worship rather that the ‘Actors’ (active participants). The hypothesis is that ministers have centralized themselves specifically in worship and this has and is contributing towards the ‘nominal Christian’ problem experienced by the Church presently. Secondly, that a strategically planned and instituted process with the aim of involving all attendee’s at worship will facilitate active participation (the congregation become the ‘actors’ in and during the intercessory prayer time) and in so doing build up the local church. The Thesis sadly also points out that, ministers fundamental beliefs seem to have little or no influence on there practices. Of the ministers interviewed some indicated there primary task as that of ‘equipping the body of Christ’ yet those who held to that tenet had no significant levels of congregational involvement during worship. The research also shows that regardless of fundamental belief where ministers serve more than one congregation there is a 300% more congregational involvement during worship. The thesis then focuses on the roles of intercessory prayer in worship as a vehicle for getting ministry into the hands of the congregation. Interviews have been conducted and stories recorded as to the effectiveness of this process. I was particularly encouraged that the ‘sticky prayer’ as it became know took the ministry in some cases into the work place and created opportunities for ministry with in the worlds of the respondent. Beyond this it also sends a message to the world at large of the church as being faithful to God (expressed in prayer) and serving the world (those for whom we pray).

Abstract:

The efficacy of intercessory prayer as an adjunct to well-being coupled with psychological and/or medical treatment has long been of question. Anecdotal evidence for the efficacy of prayer abounds yet hard empirical evidence remains slim. This pilot study explored the efficacy of intercessory prayer in 95 hemodialysis patients. The research design consisted of a randomized double-blind 2 x 3 factorial design investigating intercessory prayer, transpersonal positive visualization (PV), and expectancy. An intervention was completed over 4 weeks where patients received one of the following conditions: Receive prayer/expect prayer; receive PV/expect prayer; receive no treatment/expect prayer; receive prayer/expect PV; receive PV/expect PV; receive no treatment/expect PV. Intercessors and visualizers consisted of individuals with extensive experience in these respective functions. Pre and post-test measures included the: SF-36 Quality of Life measure, Beck Depression Inventory, Brief Symptom inventory, and a prayer questionnaire designed for this study. Medical measures included: KT/V; hematocrit; albumin; serum inorganic phosphorous, blood pressure; and interdialytic weight gain. ANOVAs found a significant main effect of treatment on social functioning (F[2,87] = 4.699, p < .012) where subjects receiving Prayer showed significantly greater improvement in social functioning compared to the no treatment group (F[2,90] = 4.2319, p < .0175). There was a significant main effect of expectancy on systolic blood pressure (F[1,89] = 5.048, p < .027); subjects Expecting Prayer showed significantly greater improvement in systolic blood pressure compared to subjects Expecting Positive Visualization (F[1,93] = 5.1290, p < .0259). Similarly, there was a significant main effect of expectancy on phosphorous (F[1,87] = 7.074, p < .009); subjects Expecting Prayer had significantly greater improvement in their phosphorous level compared to subjects Expecting Positive Visualization, who significantly worsened (F[1,91] = 6.8724, p < .0103). There were no significant PV treatment effects. These findings beg the question, “Why were these results significant and not others?” Psychological issues related to coping, social support provided by organized religions, and the mind-body connection may all contribute to these results along with an effect of God. Yet the selectivity of results suggests that the efficacy of prayer remains a mystery. Future findings will be necessary to define intercessory prayer as an efficacious adjunct to medical and psychological therapies.
