Jesus and Elijah in Luke 4:16-30
 by Jack Poirier 

The images and ideas that spring to mind when we read a verse of Scripture are based as much upon the history of how that verse has been read in our traditions as upon the true intratextual dimensions of that verse. The same goes for the way in which first-century Jews and Christians read Scripture: without doing the requisite homework, latecomers like ourselves will fail to grasp how scriptural quotations and allusions operated in Jesus' arguments. We will see the relevance of this point when we attempt to read Isaiah 61 through the lens of early Jewish messianic expectations.[more]

  Are we pre-existent souls?
Author: GaryZ777

  Why Learn to Speak a Dead Language?
You might inquire, “Now that you’re a pensioner, what, for Heaven’s sake, do you do with all your spare time?” Well, other than playing with my four grandsons, ages 7, 5 and 3 (twins), I don’t have much to do. ☺


 

Views That Have Vanished: Photographs of David Bivin

In the early 1960s, David Bivin went to study at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Armed with a Yashica-D medium-format camera, Bivin traveled the land of Israel and the surrounding regions taking photographs of biblical sites, archaeological excavations, and everyday scenes. Today these photographs provide a window on a land that has changed radically, as a result of the construction of cities, the Six Day War, and the unification of Jerusalem.

This CD includes more than 700 photographs in high-resolution (1600x1200 or higher) jpg format, which means the images look crisp and clear even when projected on a large screen. All of the images are also included in pre-made PowerPoint® files for classroom teaching. Explanatory notes are included in the PowerPoint® files. The collection includes photographs of Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, Greece, and Rome.
