I am excited at the addition of Dr. Dan Lioy to our blogger community. His bio is below and I look forward to his future posts!!!
Dan Lioy is a Senior Academic at South African Theological Seminary. He is also a professional researcher, writer, and editor of biblical resource materials, including scholarly [...]
I will be hosting tomorrow (Friday, Mar. 12) on “Faith and Reason” and will have Dr. Dan Lioy as a special guest. We will be discussing his soon to be released book, “Axis of Glory: A Biblical and Theological Analysis of the Temple Motif in Scripture” :
Dr. Lioy’s recent monograph, “The Divine Sabotage”, reflects upon the book of Ecclesiastes and offers the reader analysis of its text and broader purpose within the fuller canon of Scripture. Lioy comments:
When we candidly and objectively look at the facts, we [...]
This 9th review will cover Dr. Lioy’s treatment of John 6 in his monologue. He subtitles this section, “Jesus as Torah Offers the Bread of Life”. Lioy notes that Jesus shifts his ministry from Jerusalem to Galilee, which immediately leads to the miracle of feeding a great multitude. [...]
Chapter 5 “Jesus as Torah in John 5-6” Part 1 (Examining treatment of Jesus as Torah in John 5) Dr. Lioy views a shift in John’s emphasis from chps. 1-4 as emphasizing Jesus as the eternal Tanakh against the backdrops of Jewish [...]
The Samaritan Woman’s Conversation with Jesus as Torah (John 4:1-26)
Lioy makes two suggestions of how Jesus is seen as Torah in His encounter with the Samaritan woman that I find intriguing. First off, Lioy points to Ng (2001), who in “Water Symbolism in John: [...]
Jesus as Torah Teaching Nicodemus (John 2:23-3:21)
This incident, in my estimation, is persuasive to Lioy’s premise that Jesus is Torah. Nicodemus was a Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin. Lioy also notes that Nicodemus was “Israel’s teacher” (p. 89). Lioy comments, “This reference has [...]
“Jesus as Torah Clearing the Temple Courts” (John 2:12-22)”
Now talk about extremes– Jesus first miracle is performed quietly and privately, while the clearing of the temple courts is loud and very public.
Lioy dialogues with some of the various views [...]
Dr. Lioy would like to encourage interested readers of Rick’s blog to recommend Jesus as Torah in John 1-12 to acquisition librarians in their area. Often, the latter are very open to receive suggestions for new titles to include in their library holdings, and this involves [...]
Dr. Lioy offered a response to a very good question from a blogger. The blogger, “Stand and Be Counted”, posted the following in response to my book review of Lioy’s “Jesus as Torah” (http://endued.wordpress.com/2007/12/21/book-review-part-3-of-dan-lioys-jesus-as-torah-in-john-1-12-chp-3-jesus-as-torah-in-john-1/#comment-209):
Interesting…never who the label Torah for Jesus before. Why not just use the term John uses “the Word of [...]

Dr. Lioy was gracious enough to respond to some of my questions. His response is below:
Rick,
Your ongoing review of my monograph is appreciated. In it you wondered whether John’s first century AD audience would have connected the notion of “light” with that of [...]
Dr. Lioy engages the 1st chapter of John’s gospel to expound the premise of this volume that Jesus is Torah. Lioy mentions that one of John’s intents in authoring this Gospel was to confront false teachers who denied [...]
