BROOKLYN CENTER, MN (July 11, 2008) \u2013 Meredith Nyberg, a member of Brookdale Covenant Church, recently earned first-place honors at the Midwest Region meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society for a paper she presented.
\n
\nEach year, the society invites two top undergraduate and three top graduate students to submit research papers at national meetings. The students are judged on research, writing, presentation, and discussion. Nyberg\u2019s paper, \u201cLads in the Spotlight: Narrative Techniques in 1 Samuel,\u201d won first place in the graduate level. She is a student at Bethel Seminary in the Master of Arts in Theological Studies program.<\/p>\n

Nyberg\u2019s discourse evolved from observations she made in an Old Testament course on the book of Samuel. As a result, she designed an independent study class to research and write the paper, \u201cwhich suggests that the author clustered the stories around the main characters of Samuel, Saul, and David so they aren\u2019t necessarily told in a linear timeframe, but may overlap in various places.\u201d<\/p>\n

The title of Nyberg\u2019s paper comes from the Hebrew word na\u2019ar, which is frequently used frequently in the books of Samuel and is commonly translated \u201clad\u201d or \u201cservant.\u201d Before many of the people in the book are identified by name, they are referred to by the Hebrew word.<\/p>\n

Nyberg says she was humbled by the recognition. \u201cI hope people further appreciate the richness and beauty of the narratives of 1 Samuel as a result of my paper.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nyberg has been involved in more than academics. She initiated a multicultural worship service at her church. For a previous Covenant online news story, see WORSHIP<\/a>.<\/p>\n
