As of mid-1994, the manuscript was over 2,300 dou- ble-spaced pages. The typesetting costs would have been either $11,500 or three days of work for me.l To have printed 2,000 stitched hardback copies would have cost about $20,000. Add to this a minimum of 150 hours of my indexing time, a price I preferred not to pay. The price tag for the book would have been at least $50. What reader is going to invest $50 plus, say, 80 hours to read an economic commentary on the Book of Leviticus? What book stores would carry such a book? Few. The day after I completed the manuscript, after having invested some four years (2,000 + hours) of work, I decided not to publish it in the traditional format, at least not before I published this shorter commentary I have therefore painfully removed well over half of the text of the 38 chapters of Bound- aries and Dominion. I have not reprinted its 11 appendixes. Readers who are really serious about Leviticus can and should consult Boundaries and Dominion. But how? Easily! Today, as a result of the ever-multiplying wonders of computer technology, Boundaries and Dominion is available on a pair of 3.5-inch plastic disks. Eventually it will be 1. I typeset all the ICE books with a remarkable semi-automatic macro that Ruben Alvarado wrote for my WordPerfect 5.1 program. x LEVITICIJS: AN ECONOMIC COMMENTARY put onto a CD-ROM disk with all of my other books and news- letters. With a lot of work, it will be possible to link all of this material through hyper-text electronic links. Technology is wonderful. So, how much will this pair of plastic disks cost you? As of 1994, one U.S. dollar. Send a photocopy of this page plus one dollar to the ICE. Write to: Disks, ICE, I? O. Box 8000, Tyler, TX 75’711. We will send you Boundaries and Dominion. The conclusions that appear at the end of the chapters in Leviticzu: An Economic Commentary appear exactly as they appear in Boundaries and Dominion. If the reader is not persuaded that my conclusions follow from the text in Leviticus, he should consult the full text of the chapter as it appears in Boundaries and Dominion. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. In Bounda- ries and Dominion, I include handy summaries at the end of each chapter: its main points listed in one-sentence bite-sized portions. Consult these summaries. Another large benefit: when I want to add new material to Boundaries and Dominion as I continue to read and think about the theological issues, I can do so easily. I plan to do this with my other books, too: continuing revisions as a result of continu- ing thought. This is the most cost-effective way for a writer to keep his published works current. It is also cheap for readers to keep abreast of his thought. An electronic search engine makes it easy to check a writer’s latest thoughts regarding problems he may have addressed initially many years earlier. Eventually I will publish Boundaries and Dominion as the fifth volume in The Dominion Covenant series: The Dominion Covenant: Genesis (1982), Moses and Pharaoh: Dominion Religion vs. Power Religion (1985), The Sinai Strate~: Economics and the Ten Com- mandments (1986), and Took of Dominion: The Case Laws of Exodus (1990). But that will have to wait on finances. Until then, this shortened version, plus the electronically indexed computer disks, will be adequate for most readers. FOREWORD In the fall of 1991 I began a series of semorts on the first several chap- ters of Leviticus. My deciston to preach on an obscure and dijjicult book (in the morning service, no less!) runs against the pain of contemporaq pastoral theory. Early on in my series, in fact, I spent most of one sermon explaining why a study of Leviticus is valuable for Christtins. I am convinced that Leviticus k not only valuable but essentiul to a proper understanding of the New Testament. But anyone who preaches on Leviticus to an American congregation at the end of the twentteth centu- q owes somebody an explanation. Peter J, Leithartl The Book of Leviticus, more than any other biblical book, has kept readers from getting to the biblical books that follow it. Leviticus calls to mind the old Negro spiritual: “So high, you can’t get over it; so low, you can’t get under it; so wide you can’t get around it.” But we should recall the conclusion: “So, hear the word of the Lord.” The problem is, Leviticus has to be taken as a unit. It is a very difficult book. Therefore, lots of people quit reading. Some make it through the five types of sacrifice. Others actually get through the consanguinity laws. But not many people finish the book. Many are called, but few are chosen. 1. Peter J. Leithart, The Kingdom and the Power: Redticovering the Ce-ntraliQ of the Church (Phillipsbmg, New Jersey: P&R Publishing, 1993), p. ix. xii LEVITICUS: AN ECONOMIC COMMENTARY Why an Economic Commentary? You may be thinking: “Why should anyone write an eco- nomic commentary on the Bible?” My answer: “Because there is no neutrality.” This is another way of saying that all knowl- edge is based on some view of morality, which in turn provides a concept of historical cause and effect. The Bible teaches that God brings positive sanctions in history to those who obey His law (Lev. 26:3-13). Our knowledge advances as we increase both our moral perception of His law and our covenantal obe- dience to His law. So does our success, long term. The Bible speaks authoritatively in every area of life. This means that every area of life must be explored and then disci- plined in terms of revelation in the Bible.

  • Autonomy As State Prevention: the Palestinian Question After Camp David, 1979–1982
    Autonomy as State Prevention: The Palestinian Question after Camp David, 1979–1982 Seth Anziska Humanity: An International Journal of Human Rights, Humanitarianism, and Development, Volume 8, Number 2, Summer 2017, pp. 287-310 (Article) Published by University of Pennsylvania Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/hum.2017.0020 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/665530 Access provided by University College London (UCL) (26 Sep 2017 09:59 GMT) Seth Anziska Autonomy as State Prevention: The Palestinian Question after Camp David, 1979–1982 Introduction Scholars have long explored the legal and institutional continuities that inhere in the transition from the era of late empire to the rise of nation-states, underscoring how external rule produced particular trajectories of Arab state formation.1 Extensive violence in Iraq and Syria today has directed much of that attention to the influence of British and French mandatory rule on the emergence of nation-states in the region.2 One striking feature of this transition was the rhetoric of self-determination and purportedly time-limited, developmental intervention that the mandatory powers used to extend control over local populations after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1918. In asserting a role as protector of nations emerging from the postwar partitions, the League of Nations helped neutralize local struggles for independence.3 The conceptual framework of “transformative occupation” in the modern Middle East illuminates the techniques of foreign rule within these wider imperial histories while linking them to ambitious programs of development.4 Whether in the name of civilization or modernity, whether by a colonial or mandated power, imposing the practices of Western governance on “backward” peoples and space characterized trans- formative occupation regimes.5 In this essay, I examine how a particular practice within the political and diplomatic repertoire of transformative occupation—the promotion of local autonomy—was successfully deployed in the Israeli-Palestinian arena.

  • Bible Survey
    Bible Survey Genesis The first book of the Bible is named Genesis or “beginning.” Genesis presents the divine origin of the world. This is not a scientific account of the beginning of the universe or of life. It is Israel’s faith statement of God’s activity in the origins of the universe and of mankind fundamental for our salvation. Genesis also provides an account of the beginnings of Israel and God’s call to Abraham, and his relatives, the Patriarchs. In Genesis the stage is set for salvation since it is here we are told of Creation, sin, and God’s first promises to save mankind. The book can be divided into two sections. The first section, chapters 1 through 11, present the story of Creation and the beginning of Israel’s salvation. The second section, chapters 12 through 50, introduce us to the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. Exodus The second book of the Bible is called Exodus, from the Greek word for ‘departure,’ because its central event is the departure of the Israelites from Egypt. Exodus recounts the Egyptian oppression of Jacob’s ever-increasing descendants and their miraculous deliverance by God through Moses, who led them across the Red Sea to Mount Sinai where they received the Law entering into a covenant with the Lord. The Law, or Torah in Hebrew, constitutes the moral, civil, and ritual legislation by which the Israelites were to become a holy people. Many elements of the Law were fundamental to the teaching of Jesus as well as to New Testament and Christian moral teaching.

For example, one may not accept charity from tax collectors or ask them to change larger denominations. You may be wondering: why would someone having a private economic transaction with a tax collector receive coins collected as taxes in change? Likewise, how could tax collectors give tax money away as charity? Shouldn’t it all have been given to their government? The answer is that the governments with which Chaza”l interacted, such as the Roman Empire, would sell the right to collect taxes to private ​ ​ individuals.

The publication of the Commentary on St John and the recent thesis of Fr Cahill on the sources of Fr. Libermann's spirituality justify, it would seem, the presentation, in this issue of Spiritan Papers, of more general considerations on the importance of Judaism: for the understanding of Christianity, in the first place, and more concretely, for the understanding of our particular vocation in a congregation founded by a Jew. Libermann was a Jew and always remained so. This way of putting it may be found shocking. But it reproduces tex- tually what the "Notes for a correct presentation of Jews and of Judaism in the preaching and catechetics of the Catholic Church" say of Jesus himself'. Here we are already stirring up a hornet's nest! The subject of relations between Judaism and the Church always arouses passionate reactions. But it cannot be evaded; it is truly essential for the Christian.

  • The Adjudication of Fines in Ashkenaz During the Medieval and Early Modern Periods and the Preservation of Communal Decorum
    The Adjudication of Fines in Ashkenaz during the Medieval and Early Modern Periods and the Preservation of Communal Decorum Ephraim Kanarfogel* The Babylonian Talmud (Bava Qamma 84a–b) rules that fines and other assigned payments in situations where no direct monetary loss was incurred--or where the damages involved are not given to precise evaluation or compensation--can be adjudicated only in the Land of Israel, at a time when rabbinic judges were certified competent to do so by the unbroken authority of ordination (semikhah). In addition to the implications for the internal workings of the rabbinic courts during the medieval period and beyond, this ruling seriously impacted the maintaining of civility and discipline within the communities. Most if not all of the payments that a person who struck another is required to make according to Torah law fall into the category of fines or forms of compensation that are difficult to assess and thus could not be collected in the post-exilic Diaspora (ein danin dinei qenasot be-Bavel).1 * Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies, Yeshiva University. 1 See Arba’ah Turim, Ḥoshen Mishpat, sec. 1, and Beit Yosef, ad loc. In his no longer extant Sefer Avi’asaf, Eli’ezer b. Joel ha-Levi of Bonn (Rabiah, d. c. 1225) concludes that the victim of an assault can be awarded payments by a rabbinic court for the cost of his healing (rippui) and for money lost if he is unable to work (shevet), since these are more common types of monetary law, with more precisely assessed forms of compensation.
