  • Alterity and the Ascents of Emanuel Swedenborg and the Baal Shem Tov
    Open Theology 2018; 4: 414–421 Phenomenology of Religious Experience II: Perspectives in Theology Rebecca Esterson* What Do the Angels Say? Alterity and the Ascents of Emanuel Swedenborg and the Baal Shem Tov https://doi.org/10.1515/opth-2018-0032 Received June 10, 2018; accepted August 28, 2018 Abstract: This paper examines the history of boundary crossing and boundary preservation between Jews and Christians in the eighteenth century via an unorthodox path. Two men, a Swedish Lutheran natural philosopher and a charismatic Polish Rabbi, give their accounts of ascents to the heavens, both in the 1740s. The lives of Emanuel Swedenborg and the Baal Shem Tov did not intersect, but their other- worldly experiences tell related stories of strife between Jews and Christians while betraying something of a shared horizon concerning the future of their religious communities, and concerning sacred texts and their interpretation. Using a phenomenological framework informed by Emmanuel Levinas, and with theories of experience articulated by Steven Katz and Martin Jay at hand, this paper understands these accounts as articulations of relationship: not just the relationship between the subject and God, scripture, or the heavens, but articulations of the fraught relationship with the religious other in the earthly, human realm. By placing Swedenborg and the Besht, as it were, face to face, this paper emphasizes the presence of the religious other in their experiences, even in their private encounters with the Divine, and even though the intersubjectivity these experiences expose is characterized by difference, difficulty, and asymmetry. Keywords: Emmanuel Levinas; Jewish-Christian relations; religious experience; Emanuel Swedenborg; Baal Shem Tov; phenomenology; scripture; Hasidism; eighteenth century; Kabbalah; alterity The eighteenth century was a time of contradictions and counter-movements in Jewish-Christian relations.

  • Community, Ritual, Identity
    Sacrifice in Modernity: Community, Ritual, Identity Joachim Duyndam, Anne-Marie Korte and Marcel Poorthuis Sacrifice, Opfer, Yajna – the various terms for sacrifice that can be found across different religious traditions show the many aspects that are perceived as constituting its core business, such as making holy, gift-giving, exchange, or the loss of something valuable. Since the mid 19th century, scholars studying written or performed sacrificial acts have tried to capture its essence with concepts such as bribery (Edward Burnett Tylor), a gift to the gods (Marcel Mauss), an act of consensual violence (René Girard), or a matter of cooking (Charles Malamoud). The act of offering sacrifices is undoubtedly one of the most universal religious phenomena. From time immemorial, offering a sac- rifice has been considered the proper way to approach the godhead. Whether the goods to be offered were products from the harvest, the firstlings of the flock, flowers, or flour, the believers expressed their gratitude, begged for divine favours or tried to appease the godhead or the community.1 The trans- formations – or re-embodiments – of sacrifice that have taken place in many religions have included prayer, almsgiving, fasting, continence, and even mar- tyrdom. These acts not only imply an effort to offer something of value, but often also a form of self-surrender, a surrender to the divine. However, these sacrificial religious practices, as such, seem to have lost most of their relevance and resonance in the context of modern western societies. Secularization and the decline of institutional religion have rendered them obsolete, dissolving the specific contexts and discourses that made these practices self-evident and meaningful.

  • The Topic of Augustine and Manichaeism Has Been the Subject of Several Studies
    1 AUGUSTINE’S MANICHAEAN DILEMMA IN CONTEXT Johannes van Oort Abstract This review article describes the study of ‘Augustine and Manichaeism’ in context, mainly focusing on the recent book on the theme (the first one of a projected trilogy) by Jason David BeDuhn. Keywords Augustine of Hippo; Mani; Manichaeism; Patristics; Roman Africa; Jason David BeDuhn Previous Research on Augustine and Manichaeism* The issue of ‘Augustine and Manichaeism’ has been dealt with in several studies. Most of these investigations are restricted to certain aspects of the subject, while only a very few consider the whole matter during all phases of Augustine’s life and in all of his works. In the German speaking world it was Ferdinand Christian Baur who, in a groundbreaking book on the Manichaean religion, paid attention to the immense quantity of material included in the writings of Augustine.1 Baur also made pertinent remarks on the church father’s relation to Manichaeism and the lasting influence Manichaeism may have exerted upon him.2 These remarks, however, were only asides made by the renowned scholar of the history of Christian dogma in a book the main interest of which was to provide an exposition of Mani’s ‘religious system’. In the French speaking world, the year 1918 saw the publication of the first (and only) volume of Prosper Alfaric’s L’évolution intellectuelle de saint Augustin.3 As stated in its subtitle, the impressive volume of no less than 556 pages focused on * The works of A. and Manichaean sources are abbreviated in accordance with common usage.
