Worship, The Bond Between Time/Space And Eternity, Lawrence Frizzell

Selected Works of Lawrence E. Frizzell

Dr. Kenneth Schmitz's review of philosophical insights into language and writing is necessarily focused on the world of Greece and Rome. It would be valuable to have scholars immersed in the Hebrew language and traditional Jewish culture to reflect upon the same issues. At a conference on the trivium and quadrivium in Medieval Europe, Dean Arthur Hyman of Yeshiva University was asked to comment.

Selected Works of Lawrence E. Frizzell

Whether he knew it or not, Mel Gibson touched on theological traditions formed long after the lifetime of Jesus in his movie, The Passion of Christ.

Selected Works of Lawrence E. Frizzell

The interpretation of ancient texts focuses on issues which can be common to several religious traditions.'
