I have just uploaded my Master’s thesis to Scribd for anyone interested in reading it. Also, I’ve got a link to it on my “Writings” tab under “Theology” which can be found HERE (along with some of my other writing). Any feedback is appreciated as I continue to reflect on this topic that I have spent the last number of years working through.
I have been truly fortunate to study with a fine and godly OT scholar like Dr. August Konkel over these last years. He was invaluable to the development and direction of my thesis and I pray that my work is representative of his tremendous investment into me. I was greatly benefited also by the careful reading of all things SBL-standards related by Joel Banman (who cannot in any way be held accountable for any remaining mistakes which I may have additionally created) and the library staff of Providence Theological Seminary (thanks to Terry Kennedy and her wonderful staff). And also I must thank Tremper Longman for his overly kind comments on my draft of this thesis and his recommendations for several key areas.
The short of it all is that it turns out “day” means and signifies far more than I had initially anticipated when I first set upon writing this thesis. I truly do hope at some point to contribute further in a positive way to the ongoing discussion of this crucial text of Scripture and trust my thesis might serve as a launch toward that direction.
