Dear Ken,

Thank you for the info.

Some of the entries I had seen, but did not know of the Shaliach entry. I also
was trying to see if there was more from the DSS and more current literature in
relation to the Messiah as the "Sent One" pointing to a current theme prevalent
within Second Temple Judaism and NT periods.

En Xristwi,

Rev. Bryant J. Williams III

Of the two words, PEMPW and APOSTELLW, APOSTELLW is the one used more frequently
in a technical sense.

Again, I recommend looking up the bibliography provided in the BDAG entry. At
the end, TW indicates the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament has a
useful article on this word. Then specifically on Shaliach, section 1.c. points
to Kopf's 1958 article and to the entry on APOSTOLOS. Read these articles to see
if they yield any leads. The entry on APOSTOLOS points to Schrer, Billerbeck,
Truron, Dix, and the EDNT. There is much to be gleaned from these. Have you
perhaps read some of these already?

> I'm reading through John's gospel and have been impressed with how often this

> 1. God sends John the Baptist
> 2. God sends Jesus
> 3. Jesus sends His disciples
> 4. Jesus sends the Holy Spirit

as

Jesus
