Hawkins and Lesleigh Cushing Stahlberg Scrolls of Love is a book of unions. Edited by a Christian and a Jew who are united by a shared passion for the Bible and a common literary hermeneutic, Scrolls of Love joins two biblical scrolls (megillot) and gath- ers around them a diverse community of interpreters. It brings together the book of Ruth and the Song of Songs, two seemingly disparate texts of the Hebrew Bible, and reads them through a diversity of methodologi- cal and theological perspectives. Respectful of traditional biblical scholar- ship, the collection of essays moves beyond it; alert to contemporary trends, the volume returns venerable interpretive tradition to center stage. Moreover, Scrolls of Love expands the notion of commentary, add- ing visual art and literary interpretation to textual hermeneutics. In juxtaposing these two very different biblical books, we find in them a common theme: love. In Ruth, love is tender, filial, loyal; between Ruth and Naomi, it is almost sisterly. But even when love manifests itself sexu- ally, as between Ruth and Boaz, it is marked by gentleness and loving- kindness (h. esed). By contrast, love in the Song of Songs is physical, erotic, at times frantic, and densely metaphoric in its expression. It is a sexual love that is entirely mutual, that emboldens both lover and beloved. Ruth is a model of agape, the Song of eros, and yet both make declarations of love that are unparalleled elsewhere in the Bible. The reader is moved by Ruth’s promise to cleave to Naomi until death and by the female lover’s assertion in the Song that she belongs to her beloved and her beloved belongs to her. xiii ................. 16151$ INTR 10-13-06 10:49:09 PS PAGE xiii INTRODUCTION The careful reader, moreover, is struck by the fact that female voices utter both these vows. In their depictions of love, in fact, the two scrolls celebrate women. In their transmission of woman’s words and their fore- grounding of the woman’s body—treating female flesh not as a danger to be regulated, but as a source of pleasure, solace, and power—the book of Ruth and the Song of Songs stand apart from the rest of the canon. Unlike what we find elsewhere in Scripture, the scrolls’ women are full participants in the covenant. Furthermore, in these books, the under- standing of covenant undergoes a sea change: In contrast to more tradi- tional biblical theology, with its reliance on divine utterance, in Ruth and the Song of Songs, the divine is known primarily in the context of human relationships. The scrolls evoke an apparently secular world in which God is not present, but where the female perspective is predominant. Indeed, the Song contains no reference to God, and although the book of Ruth invokes the Lord, there is no theophany, no angelic messenger, and no evidence of the cultic life of Israel. God acts within and among people, not on them. These scrolls are not simply united by the theme of love; rather, they share an ideal of a love expressed by and for human beings that comes before the love of God. Despite the fact that Jews and Christians share a common text in the Hebrew Scripture, the two communities have read their Bibles in isola- tion from one another, each in ignorance of the richness of the other’s traditions of reading.

  • Eat and Die: the Last Meal of Sacrificed Chimú Camelids At
    Eat and Die: The Last Meal of Sacrificed Chimú Camelids at Huanchaquito-Las Llamas, Peru, as Revealed by Starch Grain Analysis Clarissa Cagnato , Nicolas Goepfert, Michelle Elliott, Gabriel Prieto, John Verano, and Elise Dufour This article reconstructs the final diet of sacrificed domestic camelids from Huanchaquito-Las Llamas to understand whether feeding was part of the ritual practice. The site is situated on the northern coast of Peru and is dated to the fifteenth century AD (Late Intermediate period; LIP). It was used by the Chimús to kill and bury a large number of camelids, mostly juveniles. We reconstructed the final meal of 11 of the sacrificed individuals by analyzing starch grains derived from the associated gut con- tents and feces. The starch grains were well preserved and allowed for the determination of five plant taxa. The comparison with previously published and new stable isotope analyses, which provide insights into long-term diet, indicates that the Chi- mús managed their herds by providing maize as fodder and allowing them to graze on natural pasture; yet they reserved special treatment for sacrificial animals, probably bringing them together a few hours or days before the sacrificial act. We show for the first time the consumption of unusual food products, which included manioc, chili peppers, and beans, as well as cooked foods. Our study provides unique information on Chimú camelid ritual and herding practices. Keywords: ritual diet, archaeobotany, stable isotope analysis, Late Intermediate period El presente artículo aborda la reconstrucción de la dieta ingerida por camélidos domesticados antes de ser sacrificados y enterrados en el sitio arqueológico Huanchaquito-Las Llamas, situado en la costa norte de Perú y data del siglo XV de nuestra era (periodo Intermedio Tardío).

  • God's Faithfulness in the Book of Ruth
    God’s Faithfulness in the Book of Ruth 1. Introduction. A. Read: Ruth 4:18-22 - 18 This, then, is the family line of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron, 19 Hezron the father of Ram, Ram the father of Amminadab, 20 Amminadab the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, 21 Salmon the father of Boaz, Boaz the father of Obed, 22 Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of David. [slide 1] B. We’ve been gleaning from the book of Ruth over the past couple of months, trying to take a magnifying glass to see some of what God is speaking to us from this book. Now, after all of the tragedy and hope, despair and celebration, drama and romance, we come to this conclusion - a genealogy?! C. I’ve been part of the Navigators and they have memory verse packs, but I don’t think this passage was in there. Would you put it in there? Probably not! Especially if you memorized the King James version: Perez begat Hezron, Hezron begat Ram … all the way to Jesse begat David. The book of Ruth is a great story, but you think it is a little weak on the ending? D. We said early on in this study that the author of this book was very skillful. The skill in story-telling shows up in the way he ends this book. You and I have been looking at details in this book and now the author is backing us out of the fields, out of Bethlehem, to a bigger picture.

  • The Rise of Syriza: an Interview with Aristides Baltas
    THE RISE OF SYRIZA: AN INTERVIEW WITH ARISTIDES BALTAS This interview with Aristides Baltas, the eminent Greek philosopher who was one of the founders of Syriza and is currently a coordinator of its policy planning committee, was conducted by Leo Panitch with the help of Michalis Spourdalakis in Athens on 29 May 2012, three weeks after Syriza came a close second in the first Greek election of 6 May, and just three days before the party’s platform was to be revealed for the second election of 17 June. Leo Panitch (LP): Can we begin with the question of what is distinctive about Syriza in terms of socialist strategy today? Aristides Baltas (AB): I think that independently of everything else, what’s happening in Greece does have a bearing on socialist strategy, which is not possible to discuss during the electoral campaign, but which will present issues that we’re going to face after the elections, no matter how the elections turn out. We haven’t had the opportunity to discuss this, because we are doing so many diverse things that we look like a chicken running around with its head cut off. But this is precisely why I first want to step back to 2008, when through an interesting procedure, Synaspismos, the main party in the Syriza coalition, formulated the main elements of the programme in a book of over 300 pages. The polls were showing that Syriza was growing in popularity (indeed we reached over 15 per cent in voting intentions that year), and there was a big pressure on us at that time, as we kept hearing: ‘you don’t have a programme; we don’t know who you are; we don’t know what you’re saying’.

  • Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D
    Names 39.2 (June 1991) Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D. Lawson1 Abstract Samples of men's and women's names drawn from English language editions of Israeli telephone directories identify the most common names in current usage. These names, categorized into Biblical, Traditional, Modern Hebrew, and Non-Hebrew groups, indicate that for both men and women over 90 percent come from Hebrew, with the Bible accounting for over 70 percent of the male names and about 40 percent of the female. Pronunciation, meaning, and Bible citation (where appropriate) are given for each name. ***** The State of Israel represents a tremendous opportunity for names research. Immigrants from traditions and cultures as diverse as those of Yemen, India, Russia, and the United States have added their onomastic contributions to the already existing Jewish culture. The observer accustomed to familiar first names of American Jews is initially puzzled by the first names of Israelis. Some of them appear to be biblical, albeit strangely spelled; others appear very different. What are these names and what are their origins? Benzion Kaganoffhas given part of the answer (1-85). He describes the evolution of modern Jewish naming practices and has dealt specifi- cally with the change of names of Israeli immigrants. Many, perhaps most, of the Jews who went to Israel changed or modified either personal or family name or both as part of the formation of a new identity. However, not all immigrants changed their names. Names such as David, Michael, or Jacob required no change since they were already Hebrew names.

  • Tamar: Conscious Choices and Choosing One's Own Destiny
    Tamar: Conscious Choices and Choosing One’s Own Destiny Parashat Vayeishev (Genesis 38: 1 – 30) Do you make conscious choices? One of our Torah heroines surely did. Tamar made a conscious choice following the deaths of her husband, Judah’s son Er, Judah’s next son Onan, and Judah’s wife Hirah. Tamar became a childless widow and it seemed as though Judah had no plan to allow his youngest son Shelah to marry Tamar, as biblical law mandated. Judah claimed that Shelah was too young and he could not risk losing another son. However, our heroine Tamar needed a child in order to claim a true stake in the household of Judah. So, she tricked her father-in-law Judah into sleeping with her during his bereavement. Posing as a harlot, Judah solicited Tamar’s services, willingly giving Tamar his signet seal, his cord and his staff, all of which clearly identified him when she would later proclaim Judah’s paternity for her twin sons Perez and Zerah. Not for love or for lust, but rather for a legacy into the future, Tamar made a conscious choice. She took initiative. She changed destiny. And, ironically, Judah admitted, “She is more in the right than I!” (Genesis 38:26) Judah had refused the rights of levirate marriage to Tamar. It all returns to making choices. Each woman on our sisterhood roster has made a conscious choice to join sisterhood. We are grateful to the women who choose to join sisterhood and our congregation, for choosing the path of leadership, and for sharing mitzvah time.

  • Exodus 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Exodus 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE The Hebrew title of this book (we'elleh shemot) originated from the ancient practice of naming a Bible book after its first word or words. "Now these are the names of" is the translation of the first two Hebrew words. "The Hebrew title of the Book of Exodus, therefore, was to remind us that Exodus is the sequel to Genesis and that one of its purposes is to continue the history of God's people as well as elaborate further on the great themes so nobly introduced in Genesis."1 Exodus cannot stand alone, in the sense that the book would not make much sense without Genesis. The very first word of the book, translated "now," is a conjunction that means "and." The English title "Exodus" is a transliteration of the Greek word exodus, from the Septuagint translation, meaning "exit," "way out," or "departure." The Septuagint translators gave the book this title because of the major event in it, namely, the Israelites' departure from Egypt. "The exodus is the most significant historical and theological event of the Old Testament …"2 DATE AND WRITER Moses, who lived from about 1525 to 1405 B.C., wrote Exodus (17:14; 24:4; 34:4, 27-29).
