TITLE | Illuminator vs. Redeemer: Was Ebionite Adam/Christ Prophetology "Original," Anti-Pauline, or "Gnostic"? |
AUTHOR 1 | Christopher Buck |
DATE_THIS | 1982/2012 |
ABSTRACT | Contains no mention of the Bahá'í Faith, but is of interest because of the phenomenological resonance between the Ebionite Christian doctrine of the "True Prophet" with the Bahá’í doctrine of the “Manifestation of God.” |
NOTES | Written in June 1982, revised in 1983 as Illuminator vs. Redeemer: A Trajectory of Ebionite Christology from Prophet Messianism to Baha'I Theophanology. Proofread/formatted by Bobbi Lyons and updated by Buck in 2012. |
TAGS | - Interfaith dialogue; Adam and Eve; Christianity; Ebionism; Jesus Christ; Judaism |
CONTENT | About This is the author's research paper for his first graduate course, "Problems in Ebionism," a directed study at Western Washington State College (now Western Washington University), under William K.B. Stoever (now Professor Emeritus), chair of Liberal Studies. The paper was awarded an A on its completion in June 1982. Dr. Stoever is named on the last page of the paper. The paper itself was word-processed by Carol Lenhard. This paper was later revised as “Illuminator vs. Redeemer: A ‘Trajectory’ of Ebionite Christology from Prophet Messianism to Bahá’í Theophanology,” a synopsis of which was published in Abstracts: American Academy of Religion/Society of Biblical Literature Annual Meeting 1983 in Dallas (Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1983, p. 86). Although the paper is unpublished, it may be considered to be the equivalent of a peer-reviewed paper insofar as the paper was critically reviewed by Dr. Stoever. Of interest is the striking phenomenological resonance between the Ebionite Christian doctrine of the "True Prophet" with the Bahá’í doctrine of the “Manifestation of God.” See also this brief compilation by Buck: “Some Important Documents for the History And Doctrines of Ebionite Christianity” (1982), online at www.jesuscult.com/Ebionite.htm.
