The Covenant Of Deuteronomy And The Study Of The Ancient Israelite Jurisprudence, Kenneth C. Anyanwu May 2017

The Covenant Of Deuteronomy And The Study Of The Ancient Israelite Jurisprudence, Kenneth C. Anyanwu

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

“Happy are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord. Happy are those who keep his decrees, who seek him with their whole heart,who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways. (Psalm 119: 1 – 3)

All through the ages, law and justice has been a condition for a smooth, egalitarian and peaceful society. A society devoid of law and justice is not only unthinkable but a bedlam of chaos, anarchy and disorder. No wonder the ancient Greek philosopher and sage, Aristotle said, “At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; …

Christian-Jewish Relations: Theological Issues, Lawrence E. Frizzell D.Phil. Jan 2010

Christian-Jewish Relations: Theological Issues, Lawrence E. Frizzell D.Phil.

Reverend Lawrence E. Frizzell, S.T.L., S.S.L., D.Phil.

The major disagreements between Jews and traditional Christians (i.e. those who accept the canon of the New Testament and the theological decisions of the first seven ecumenical Councils) focus on the mystery of God and the person of the Messiah. The antithetical approaches to the questions of three persons in one God and the person of the Messiah, believed by Christians to be Jesus of Nazareth, true God and true man, will not be set aside; however, clarification of the Catholic understanding regarding the Jewish stance can remove generalized accusations of blindness and/or malice. This article examine the key passages …

Worship, The Bond Between Time/Space And Eternity, Lawrence E. Frizzell D.Phil. Jan 2006

Worship, The Bond Between Time/Space And Eternity, Lawrence E. Frizzell D.Phil.

Reverend Lawrence E. Frizzell, S.T.L., S.S.L., D.Phil.

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. His response was brief: "This was not the Jewish approach."
Recalling the genius and limitations of a language to convey insights into the meaning of life and its mysteries, we acknowledge the role of translation in …

The Death Of Jesus And The Death Of The Temple, Lawrence E. Frizzell D.Phil. Jan 2004

The Death Of Jesus And The Death Of The Temple, Lawrence E. Frizzell D.Phil.

Reverend Lawrence E. Frizzell, S.T.L., S.S.L., D.Phil.

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. To have them shape a movie that purports to tell a story set during the lifetime of Jesus – even if only in his last twelve hours – adds a confusing kind of anachronism to Gibson’s effort to “tell it like it was.” It (the movie) is as it (the history) wasn’t.
To understand the place of the Temple in the lifetime and the piety of Jesus of Nazareth, we have to look …

Interreligious Dialogue In Global Perspective, Lawrence E. Frizzell D.Phil. Jan 2002

Interreligious Dialogue In Global Perspective, Lawrence E. Frizzell D.Phil.

Selected Works of Lawrence E. Frizzell

The tensions between religions and political systems have been evident in intellectual and cultural contexts throughout human experience. In past ages, there has been a propensity for each culture or religion to assume that it embodied the best in every aspect of the human order. There is no longer any excuse for such narrowness spawned of ignorance to dominate the thinking of educated people. Yet mere tolerance of other approaches to the common challenges of humanity will not provide security for all, especially for minorities within a culture or for weaker societies in a given region striving to maintain their …

Religious Experience And Interpretation: A Christian Interpretation, Lawrence Frizzell Jan 1980

Religious Experience And Interpretation: A Christian Interpretation, Lawrence Frizzell

Selected Works of Lawrence E. Frizzell

The interpretation of ancient texts focuses on issues which can be common to several religious traditions.' Within the Jewish and Christian expressions of theology over the centuries, the task of relating the contents of earlier documents to different cultures and philosophies of life has been tackled from many angles. In recent years the work of Claude Levi-Strauss and Paul Ricoeur has suggested new approaches to fundamental hermeneutical questions.
