The consummate steward of God\u2019s gracious gifts, David was \u201csalt and light\u201d in every arena of a life\u2014in many different contexts. He honored God as a family man and in business; as a teacher and as an administrator; as churchman and as a scholar. The overriding theme of God\u2019s faithfulness to promise in Hebrews is highlighted both in David\u2019s dissertation and, more important, in his life. Accordingly, those who love Hebrews, as well as friends and family who love David, have reason to celebrate this publication of\u00a0<em>God\u2019s Faithfulness to Promise.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Scholars Lab is proud to announce the publication of God&#8217;s Faithfulness to Promise: The Hortatory Use of Commissive Language<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2471,"featured_media":675,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[10,143221,143227,85623],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-announcement","category-open-access","category-scholarly-communication","category-scholars-lab"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/scholarslab\/files\/2019\/04\/File_001-7.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9Vb94-aS","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/scholarslab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/scholarslab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/scholarslab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/scholarslab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2471"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/scholarslab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=674"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/scholarslab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":678,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/scholarslab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674\/revisions\/678"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/scholarslab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/scholarslab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/scholarslab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/scholarslab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
