The treatment of indeclinable word classes in Bohorič’s grammar (1584)

Despite the evident dependence on Philip Melanchthon’s grammar, the
sections on the adverb (adverbium), preposition (praepositio), conjunction (coniunc-
tio) and interjection (interiectio) in Adam Bohorič’s grammatical work of 1584
demanded of the latter considerable ingenuity. On one hand the material in
them is arranged according to the Latin (Melanchthon’s) text, but on the other
precisely these sections contain a number of original solutions (e.g. the identi-
fication of the locative and instrumental).

Hermeneutics of dispensational theology

Western support of the state of Israel especially that of the United States, is
not something new. It has grown rapidly since the rise of Christian Zionism in
the 19th century. Nowadays many Americans are convinced that the foreign
policy of supporting Israel is in line with Biblical prophecy. We will assess one
important factor, which we believe governs US foreign policy towards Israel,
which is one distinctive theological view of the Bible called dispensationalism.

Despite different views on what the key hermeneutical principles are in
dispensationalism, we look at those that dispensationalists themselves claim
to be the guiding principles. The two most important principles they set out
are: the distinction between Israel and the Church; and the consistent literal
interpretation of the whole Bible. We conclude that these principles, while
rightly trying to defend the authority of the Bible and its inerrancy, also firstly
fail to see the nature of the church as God’s people, a new humanity of Jews
and Gentiles, established in Christ (Eph 2:13–18). This new humanity has its
continuity and discontinuity with the people of God from the Old Testament.
Secondly, they fail to see the literary nature of the texts. And finally, they fail to
employ Christological hermeneutics to the Old Testament as we see in the ex-
ample of the Apostles, that is, the way New Testament uses the Old Testament
and sees its fulfilment in the event of Christ.
