"All of this makes the wonder of God’s grace very clear, especially in the marked contrast between Asklepios, who required purity of all who came to him, and the Savior who, at great cost to himself, gives a life-changing and lasting purity to all who come to him." (JETS 68.4)

"The good life of covenant blessings in connection to obedience to Yahweh anticipates and even prefigures a greater form of life—what later prophets will associate with the new covenant." (JETS 68.4)

"Of the six elements that are typically found in the Hittite treaty structure, Deuteronomy has equivalents for only three...Deuteronomy is best understood when read on its own terms, with an eye to the rhetorical function of its individual sections." (JETS 68.4)

@Banks1999 Hi John! Sorry about the confusion. The email should have directions on where to find the paper proposal link. In brief: log into your ETS account, click on your account tab, find paper proposal tab underneath your account. Hope that helps!

@etsjets Is it just me, or is there no proposal submission page on the ETS website, even though the email notice was sent out on March 15 for the opening of the 2-week proposal window?

"It is better to understand the positioning of Chronicles as a post-authorial frame generated by readers. There is a rationale for this canonical position at the end of the canon & also for the other two positions given to it..." (JETS 68.4)

"A crucified & resurrected Messiah was not only unexpected, but offensive. That this idea was foreign to Second Temple Jewish beliefs does not discredit its scriptural basis. Rather, it highlights how historical circumstances may obscure correct theological insight." (JETS 68.4)

"While Robinson retained an ecclesiological distinction between Jew and Gentile within the New Testament church, he also proposed an eschatological elimination of the distinction between Jew & Gentile with both people groups becoming one 'new man' or 'new humanity.'" (JETS 68.4)

"The human prophetic authors of Scripture expected greater revelation of the salvation they themselves predicted...they wrote with an eschatological frame of reference, anticipating the Spirit’s full unveiling of the hidden eschatological elements they searched out."(JETS 68.4)

"Throughout Scripture, God extends rest to sufferers not by assuring them of his inability to prevent their pain, but by inviting them to trust his presence and power to redeem their pain." (JETS 68.4)

"The Spirit destabilizes false and fallen notions of our (and God’s) gender identity in order to restore and confirm us in a freshly particularized, Christ-conformed sense of who and whose we are in soul and body." (JETS 68.3)

"Paul—who has charged his delegate to serve as a model in speech—addresses Timothy’s abstinence in this light, encouraging moderation in wine consumption due to his frequent stomach ailments." (JETS 68.3)

"The opening chiastic structure in John 1:1–18, centers on the rejection and reception of Jesus, and the central section of the chiastic structure of the whole Gospel does likewise. The decisive issue is how people will respond to Jesus." (JETS 68.3)

"The inspired author’s moral point can be found in 6:13: Those who attempt to destroy the Jewish people will eventually fall into the pit that they have dug, and those who realize that truth are 'wise.'"

"[Interpreters] must not try to figure out what Ahaz may have understood by Isaiah’s prophecy...Rather, we seek to determine the author’s interpretation of Isaiah 7 within the context of the overall literary strategy of the book." (JETS 68.3)

"Judges not only critiques Israel as failing to heed the law but failing to mercifully apply the law." (JETS 68.3)

"When Watts repeals recompense upon the nations of Canaan, he removes the equality of justice of ancient Canaan & ancient Israel. In Torah-mediated-by-Moses both the nations of Canaan & Israel face the wrath of Yahweh for sustained immorality & its accumulated guilt." (JETS 68.3)
