You will also see Mary’s Well and Joseph’s Church. Visit the ancient synagogue at Beit Alpha, located at the foot of the northern slopes of the Gilboa Mountains which has one of most preserved and beautiful mosaics in Israel.

  • St. Paul's Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and St. Catherine's Monastery at Sinai
    St. Paul’s Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and St. Catherine’s Monastery at Sinai May 17-30, 2011 1 2 A PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND AND ST. CATHERINE’S MONASTERY AT MT. SINAI A Prayer for Pilgrims Lord Jesus, You traveled with Your two disciples to Emmaus after the Resurrection and set their hearts on fire with Your grace. I beg You: travel also with me and gladden my heart with Your Presence. I know, Lord, that I am a pilgrim upon this earth, seeking my true citizenship in heaven. During my pilgrimage, surround me with Your holy angels to guide me and keep me safe from seen and unseen dangers. Grant that I may carry out my plans for this journey and fulfill my expectations according to Your will. Illumine my mind with the incomprehensible light of Your Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor. Help me to see the beauty of all things and to comprehend the wonder of Your truth in everything You have created. For You are the way, the truth and the life, and to You do I give thanks, praise and glory, together with Your Father who is without beginning and Your all Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. AMEN. Why make a Pilgrimage to the Holy Land? For the Christian, Jerusalem – the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ - will always be the center of the world. In the course of 20 centuries, millions of Christians have made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, with their goal being Jerusalem as the most important place to journey to and pray at its holy sites – and with Bethlehem a close second.

  • Simon the Tanner, Empires, and Assemblages
    THE BIBLE & CRITICAL THEORY Simon the Tanner, Empires, and Assemblages A New Materialist Asian American Reading of Acts 9:43 Dong Hyeon Jeong, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary Abstract This article participates in dismantling systemic racial discourse in racialized and/or minoritized biblical interpretation by challenging the anthropocentric tendencies found in such interpretation. It does so by re- reading Acts 9:43 and 10:5-6, 32—Simon Peter’s stay at Simon the tanner’s place—as more than just a preamble or backdrop to the Cornelius narrative (Acts 10:1-48). Rather, the encounter between the two Simons, if read closely, invites an imaginative, imperial, and (fashionably) philosophical reading, wherein Simon Peter’s stay evokes the Roman Empire’s usurpation of an industry. This usurpation, though, is not simply a colonial endeavour. The proximity of nonhuman skins (from the tanning industry) to the colonized skins of Peter’s community invites a new materialist interpretation, in which the “touching” of these two skins provokes a “perverse ontology,” or an assemblage, of emerging human and nonhuman bodies. This assemblage blurs the boundaries of human-nonhuman binarization, an emergence that transgresses the affect of animalization which is experienced by both nonhumans and minoritized bodies. Key Words Asian American Biblical Interpretation, assemblage, Daniëlle Bruggeman, new materialism; nonhuman studies. If we want to do more than just end mass incarceration—if we want to put an end to the history of racial caste in America—we must lay down our racial bribes, join hands with people of all colors who are not content to wait for change to trickle down (Alexander 2012, 258).

  • Entertaining Angels: Hospitality in Luke and Acts by Andrew Arter B U R Y
    20 Copyright © 2007 Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University Entertaining Angels: Hospitality in Luke and Acts BY ANDREW ARTER B URY In Luke’s writings the ancient practice of hospitality—the custom of welcoming travelers or strangers into one’s home and establishing relationships with them—becomes the prism through which Jesus’ disciples can view one another and others as valuable children of God. oday we think of hospitality as the custom of feeding family, friends, and neighbors in our homes or hosting these people for a night or Ttwo. The writers of the New Testament, however, were working with a significantly different definition of hospitality or xenia. The ancient custom of hospitality revolved around the practice of welcoming strangers or trav- elers into one’s home while promising to provide them with provisions and protection.1 Hospitality in the first century could be a very risky venture, just as tak- ing strangers into one’s home is a dangerous decision in many corners of the world today. Nevertheless, in the books of Luke and Acts we see an appeal for Jesus’ disciples to practice hospitality in their lives and ministries. ANCIENT HOSPIT A LITY Strangers who were traveling in a new region did not always find a hos- pitable reception in antiquity. For starters, they were easy prey for thieves and robbers who trolled the roadways in sparsely populated areas. Further- more, many townspeople saw mysterious strangers as threats and therefore sought to shun, abuse, or eliminate these outsiders before they could harm the community. Recall, for instance, how the men of Sodom (Genesis 19:1- 11) and the men of Gibeah (Judges 19:14-26) wanted to take advantage of strangers and selfishly abuse them in violent ways.

The final letter, written from Aleppo, is a short personal note to Bishop Milles in Ireland requesting ecclesi- astical favours. The period of this correspondence spans four months, from the beginning of April until the end of July 1738. However, there is such a gap between Letters 18 and 19 (sent from Baalbek and Aleppo respectively), it is likely that a letter from Damascus is missing. This would explain why the correspondence in this collection lacks an account of the famous temples of Baalbek, which feature so prominently in Pococke’s book. JERUSALEM 2/13 April 1738 Pococke to Bishop Milles Account 71 My Lord When I landed at Joppa from Damiata I went to the house of Simon the Tanner by the sea side; which according to tradition, was where the Hospitium of the Latin Fathers now stands. Joppa is situated on the side of a hill, on the sea. It is no harbour for ships only for small boats, which are shelter’d from the weather by a ridge of rocks that run along, at some distance before the Quay.
