As every year, we read a fragment from the Gospel of Saint John 20: 1-9: about Mary Magdalene, about Peter and beloved disciple of Jesus John, about moving the stone from the grave, where there is no body of Jesus, about the disciples who "... did not yet understand the Scripture [which says] that He has risen from the dead "J 20.9 On the same day, i.e. the first day of the week, two other disciples of Jesus also go to Emmaus. They knew where they were going and knew the way. Today, we have a problem with determining the place where Emmaus was located. To this day, there is no agreement whether this village is: Emmaus El Qubaibeh as the Franciscans or Emmaus Nicopolis some Fathers of the Church thought, or finally the town of Abu Ghosh, as the Crusades claimed, or maybe another place? We do not know! We have three Emmaus and they are all supposedly real, jokingly said. However, it seems to me that at this time the coronovirus pandemic, each of us has our own Emmaus. When I was in Emmaus Nicopolis, I saw a picture in which the figure of Jesus was painted in the middle, Cleopas was next to him, and on the left of Jesus his disciple was placed with his face cut out, so that everyone could put their head in this place. The second disciple who went with Jesus and Cleopas can be any of us who are heading towards our spiritual Emmaus. That is why I invite you to join Jesus and Cleopas on the way to Emmaus. In the Gospel of Saint. Luke 24.13-35, Jesus' two disciples are returning home. They are both very disappointed, because the One in which they placed their hope and future, let them down. He was crucified and has been in the grave for three days. The reality of their lives collapsed, all plans and dreams disappeared, as Saint John of the Cross would say, only the NIGHT OF THE SOUL remained. The time we are in now is for me the Night of the Soul Night. Empty and closed churches, people dismissed from work, fear of the virus, thousands of sick people and dying and the end in sight. Right now, when our STRONG world breaks and crumbles, the Savior comes as He did on the way to Emmaus and asks us about what are we talking about on various levels of communication and why the fears creep into our hearts and the expression on the face is without enthusiasm. Cleopas and the other disciple answer Jesus, who joins them along the way and whom they did not recognize Him and were disappointed, because they have been expecting a different result. I also expected happy holidays and full churches of the faithful celebrating the Resurrection of Our Savior, but nothing came of it. Jesus, seeing sad disciples, begins to explain the Scriptures to them. Starting the process of healing of their hearts. From sad and frightened people, He tries to warm their hearts through his Word which is "alive, effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating to the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow, capable of judging the desires and thoughts of the heart" Heb 4, 12. The Scriptures explain them all the way. It delivers them to a beautiful sunny day from the night of the soul. They are not afraid anymore; they don't complain anymore either. Jesus' words give them peace and harmony of heart. When I read the Bible as a living Word, it always heals my anxiety and gives my heart harmony. That is why there are so many readings of the Word of God in the Paschal Triduum. We have a TIME when we can read and ponder the Word personally with family during this "quarantine". When Jesus ignited the hearts of the disciples and revealed himself to them when breaking bread, they learned that the One who was walking with them and explained the Scriptures was Jesus who rose from the dead and lives. Disciples cannot keep this joyful news only for themselves. It is already evening, and the night is coming, they are tired of the road, but it doesn't matter to them anymore. They are running to Jerusalem to share the Good News that Jesus is indeed risen. He met them on the way to Emmaus. I wish you can experience this encounter with the Savior who died on the cross and rose again this Easter. May He, Who conquered death gives us His POWER, so that we may experience the joy of Easter morning, as we walk through the time of the epidemic and the challenges of our daily life.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

AND TO THE ARABIC AND ENGLISH NAME LISTS. COMPILED BY HENRY C. STEWARDSON. 1888 Electronic Edition by Todd Bolen BiblePlaces.com 2005 PREFACE. ITTLE explanation is required of the arrangement followed in this Volume, beyond calling L attention to the division of this Volume into two parts: the first forms a combined Index to the three Volumes of the Memoirs, the Special Papers, the Jerusalem Volume, the Flora and Fauna of Palestine, and the Geological Survey; and the second is an Index to the Arabic and English Name Lists. This division was considered advisable in order to avoid the continual use of reference letters to the Name Lists, which would otherwise have been required. The large number of entries rendered it absolutely necessary to make them as brief as possible; but it is hoped that it will be found that perspicuity has not been sacrificed to brevity. A full explanation of the reference letters used will be found on the first page. The short Hebrew Index at the end of the Volume has been kindly furnished by Dr. W. Aldis Wright. H. C. S.

    NORTH SYRIAN MORTARIA1 (PLATE 73) C LAY mortaria,such a typicalfeature of Romansites in the West (Gaul,Ger- manyand Britain),are not at all commonamong the findsfrom Romanisites in the EasternMediterranean. Here they had been widelyused in Classicaland Hellenistictimes,2 but during the Roman period they seem to havebeen almost entirely supplantedfor culinarypurposes by vesselsof stoneand marble.3 Despite this general trend,however, there exists one classof claymortaria which circulated widely in the East duringthe thirdand early fourth centuries after Christ;this formsthe material for the presentarticle. Amongthe cataloguedfinds from the AthenianAgora excavationsare several piecesof largecoarse mortaria in a distinctivedark brown ware, clearly not of local manufacture.One of these (P 20013) is preservedin a relativelycomplete state (Fig. 1, P1.73, a-b).

  • Geophysical Examination of the Christian Archaeological Site Emmaus-Nicopolis (Central Israel)
    GEOPHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE CHRISTIAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE EMMAUS-NICOPOLIS (CENTRAL ISRAEL) L. V. Eppelbaum a, *, S. E. Itkisb aDept. of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences, Raymond and Beverly Sackler of Exact Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv 69978, Tel Aviv, Israel - [email protected] bDept. of Geological and Environmental Sciences, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Be’er-Sheva, Israel - [email protected] KEY WORDS: Archaeology, Geophysics, Surveying, Application, Mathematics, Development, Interpretation, System ABSTRACT: Christian archaeological site Emmaus-Nicopolis is well known in the ancient and Biblical history. The site located halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, first built in the 5th century, over the site believed to be the place where Jesus appeared to two of his disciples after his resurrection. The Crusaders rebuilt it on a smaller scale in the 12th century. Two sites were examined by detailed magnetic investigations: (A) 25 x 40 m and (B) 10 x 24 m. Distance between the observation points was 1 meter, but not all points were accessible due to dense vegetation and rugged topography. Quantitative interpretation of magnetic anomalies was conducted using modern quantitative methods specially developed for complicated environments: oblique magnetization, rugged terrain relief and unknown level of the normal field. A distinct peculiarity of the survey was the fact that from these areas an upper part of soil (about two meters) containing modern contamination targets has been recently removed. A primary aim of this investigation was detection of buried ancient tunnels partially discovered at the eastern part of Emmaus-Nicoplis. However, performed survey allowing to revealing at least three high-intensive positive anomalies at the area A and one significant anomaly at the area B.

  • Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus
    GRECO-ROMAN CULTURE AND THE GALILEE OF JESUS Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus, the first book- length investigation of this topic, challenges the conventional scholarly view that first-century Galilee was thoroughly Hel- lenized. Examining architecture, inscriptions, coins, and art from Alexander the Great’s conquest until the early fourth century CE, Chancey argues that the extent of Greco-Roman culture in the time of Jesus has often been greatly exaggerated. Antipas’s reign in the early first century was indeed a time of transition, but the more dramatic shifts in Galilee’s cultural climate happened in the second century, after the arrival of a large Roman garrison. Much of Galilee’s Hellenization should thus be understood within the context of its Romanization. Any attempt to understand the Galilean setting of Jesus must recognize the significance of the region’s historical develop- ment as well as how Galilee fits into the larger context of the Roman East. MARK CHANCEY is Assistant Professor in the Deparment of Religious Studies at Southern Methodist University, Dallas.
