Combating A Religious Radical Ideology V. Suppressing Islamic Opposition: Jordan’S Approach To Counterterrorism, Abeer Ghazi Jarrar

Cornell Law School Inter-University Graduate Student Conference Papers

In the aftermath of 9/11, criminal law reform in Jordan was part of the worldwide expansion of criminal laws facilitated by UNSC Resolution 1373 that was enacted under mandatory Chapter VII of the UN Charter. The introduced criminal law amendments were largely offered as a symbolic response to 9/11; it was built on the assumption of inadequacy of criminal law without fully understanding the dimensions of deterrence. Probably with the exception of the new laws against the financing of terrorism, the state had a whole range of extraordinary measures available if not morally, then practically, to counter terrorism.

Reflections On The Asymmetry Of The Tetragrammaton, Ethan Annis

Collected Faculty Scholarship

The Tetragrammaton are the four Hebrew letters for the word God, yud hey vahv hey, that God used to reveal himself to Moses. The name is commonly translated as He brings into existence whatever exists. People do not know how the name was pronounced. When the Temple existed, it was pronounced by the High Priest once during the high during the High Holidays each year. The name was probably once ubiquitous in the Tanak but was largely replaced by the Masoretes between the 6th and 10th C AD

And if so, how did they act in response? This paper will utilize the level of analysis framework as well as the concepts of the security dilemma spiral to analyze two seperate case studies: the Cold War and the rise of Muslim …

Hope Possessed Or Hope Postponed: Paul’S Presentation Of The Believers’ Present Justification And Future Hope In Romans 5-8 In Comparison To N.T. Wright’S Future Justification Perspective, Levi S. Baker

Senior Honors Theses

Over the past three decades, New Testament scholars of the Reformed tradition and the “New Perspective” have debated whether the Apostle Paul’s Christian theology about the Law and salvation was in agreement with the teaching of mainstream first-century Judaism regarding the Law and the salvation of God’s covenant people. Among these New Perspective scholars is the Bishop of Durham, N.T. Wright, whose works will be considered in this paper. The Reformed position’s insistence that the imputed righteousness of Christ is the grounds of believer’s present justification and hope has been challenged by Wright, who has proposed an alternative view on …

The Religious Other As Neighbor, Lawrence Frizzell

Selected Works of Lawrence E. Frizzell

Many stories are told about antagonism between Christians and Jews, especially in countries with a large Jewish minority. The history of persecution should be told along with the lessons learned for our time. A brief review of examples whose participants were neighbors, either in reality or in principle, may be instructive. This paper will move through the centuries in a rapid survey, recalling friendly contacts or benign exchanges between Christians and Jews.

A Consideration Of The "Apocryphon Of James", Katie Kreutter

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"After reading the Apocryphon of James, also known as the Gospel of James, I am intrigued by the way that the text seems to contain both significant parallels and unique dissimilarities to the canonical gospels found in the New Testament. Although there is not a scholarly consensus in regards to an explanation for these apparent contradictions within the document, the historical background surrounding the written account seems to offer some indication of the original author’s motivations and intentions in writing it."

"The moss crumbles under my nails as I scrape away the overgrowth obscuring my grandfather's name. It flakes away into powder; while a light breeze scatters the remnants over the broken lamb marking my youngest brother's grave. I never knew Michael. He survived only days in the hospital unable to breathe correctly. Ironically, beside him is Bill, another brother undone by an ailing chest: pneumonia compounded with HIV/AIDS, or is it vice versa? Anyway, that was 1985 and HIV was still the gay man's disease and now, seven years …

High & Low Christology: Examining "Jesus & The Syrophoenician Woman", Jodi Schott

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"In this pericope, Jesus and his disciples headed to Tyre, where Jesus continued his ministry in another location. When Jesus entered the house, the gospel writer claims that he wanted no one to know about his presence. However, in that line the gospel writer said that Jesus could not escape notice. Perhaps it was Jesus’ intention all along to be noticed. He was calling people to him—in this case, the Syrophoenician woman."
