A case for this interpretation, however, is not fleshed out as much as it could be. Competing views have arisen in recent generations that purport Titus 1.5-9 to be either an accommodation to bourgeoise Hellenistic ethics by Christians in the late first or early second century, or a literalistic list of qualifications with the litmus test limited to a man’s marriage and children per v. 6. Thus, there is a need for a detailed argument to be made for the ethical ideal view and its rhetorical implications within the context of the biblical canon.\r\n\r\n        I begin by establishing a proper reading of Proverbs in its rhetorical, canonical and ANE cultural context. Proverbs, addressed to the wise (1.5), uses rhetorical devices that Titus 1.5-9 shares (e.g., caricatures, concreteness) to shape Israelite hearts to aspire toward its ethical ideals. This rhetorical method requires adherents to practice the principle of mutatis mutandis in their own actual responses. By establishing the canonical context for Proverbs, it becomes clear that the God of Titus is the same God who operates in the same ways.\r\n\r\n        To see Titus 1.5-9’s shared aspects with Proverbs, I detail how 2TJ Wisdom Literature made the worldview of the Jewish scriptures palatable to Hellenized Jews. The ethical ideals shared by Jews and Hellenists were lauded as pursuable only in fellowship with Yahweh, who is the source of wise, moral living. 2TJ co-opted Greek terms, often with nuanced meaning, and rhetorical devices, namely, lists and rhetorically ideal figures like what we find in Titus 1.5-9.\r\n\r\n        When Titus 1.5-9 is read in light of all this, the most likely interpretation is that it is a description of a rhetorically morally ideal person, expecting adherents to practice its implementation mutatis mutandis.\r\n"],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"related_url_tesim":["https://www.covenantlibrary.org/etd/2023/Soyars_Nick_MAET_2023.pdf"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["admin_set/default-default-approving","admin_set/default-default-depositing","admin_set/default-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Default Admin Set"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"_version_":1817733744177446912,"timestamp":"2024-12-06T22:59:45.887Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T06:09:11Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:04:59Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"b07c77a9-5d3a-4543-8382-a137bb1989e0","accessControl_ssim":["8b08fb32-cdad-4c52-8af5-93b80b563e89"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Discerning the will of God"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T06:09:10Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T03:13:15Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["7b9792c6-952a-40d0-a0c2-6e0292fd74dc"],"hasLease_ssim":["2dc817ee-aec6-4e45-8b7e-1b086d88d44b"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Westminster Seminary California"],"advisor_tesim":["Edward T Welch","D Clair Davis"],"year_tesim":["1997"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["James C Petty"],"keyword_tesim":["Will of God"],"publisher_tesim":["Westminster Seminary California"],"subject_tesim":["Wisdom--Biblical teaching","God--Biblical teaching","Discernment (Christian theology)"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["This project proposes that God, as portrayed in the Bible, promises to provide guidance to his individual creatures, guidance that is mediated through wisdom that God develops within his disciple.
