    NUBIAN MOSES, ETHIOPIAN EXODUS, ARABIAN SOLOMON RECONSTRUCTING THE OLD TESTAMENT NARRATIVE Bernard Leeman Mekele, Tigray Province, Ethiopia 2 August 2015 [email protected] SUMMARY The Hebrew/Old Testament contains a highly detailed account of the history of the Jews that begins with the arrival of their ancestral Hebrew in the Holy Land under the Patriarch Abraham. After centuries of slave labour in Egypt the Hebrew were freed by the Prophet Moses, who united them under divine law (Torah) and led them in an epic journey to the Promised Land of Canaan, which was eventually subdued by Joshua most probably around 1200 BC. Two ―Israelite‖ kingdoms emerged that enjoyed a zenith of about seventy five years under King David and King Solomon (ca.1000-925 BC). The northern kingdom (Israel) was destroyed by the Assyrians ca.722/721 BC and the southern kingdom (Judah) by the Babylonians ca. 586 BC. According to the Old Testament, the Jews (from the kingdom of Judah) returned to Jerusalem after they had assisted the Persians overthrow the Babylonians in the fifth century BC. It was in this period that the Old Testament was compiled, under the leadership of Ezra the priest-scribe [Coogan; Nicholson; Van der Toorn] Systematic scientific archaeology commenced in the British controlled Holy Land (Palestine) in the 1920‘s, specifically to confirm the Old Testament record [Albright]. This coincided with migration of persecuted Jews from Europe and elsewhere that culminated in the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, whose raison d‘être was partly that the Holy Land was the divinely ordained Jewish Promised Land but mostly because the preceding centuries had proved that it was largely impossible for Jews to find security and equitable treatment elsewhere.1 .

  • Annex B Annex B: Representations Made in Response to the Diocese of Southwark’S Statutory Proposal to Establish a Church of England Secondary School in Kingston
    Annex B Annex B: Representations made in response to the Diocese of Southwark’s statutory proposal to establish a Church of England secondary school in Kingston (Please note: names are not given due to GDPR, unless they are representing organisations and/or occupy particular roles; and paragraph breaks have been removed to minimise the document’s length.) No. Name / Initials For / Comments Against / Neutral 1 JM For I am both a Christian with a questioning faith and a humanist. I understand there have been expressions against a new Church of England School being established in Kingston. This makes me sad and I wanted to register my support of such a new school. The Church of England, and indeed Christianity, while certainly far from flawless has a rich and long established tradition in education and has proved itself over the years to deliver education which is inclusive, accepting, questioning, and embracing of free thinking in an exemplary manner. While fundamentalism is a great concern for us all, whatever faith or none, and rightly so, I feel the humanist opposition ill thought out and one which also ignores their own historical narrative which shares similar roots and has much overlapping! Please register my contribution and support of this proposal for a new church school. 2 FM Against I wish to object to this proposal. It discriminates against local children who are denied places in their nearest school, only for these places to be given to children who live further away. In turn, local children then need to find a school place further away from their home.

    CAMPAIGN PICTURES OF THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA (1899-1900) Letters from the Front A. G. HALES Australia's Appeal to England. We grow weary waiting, England, For the summons that never comes-- For the blast of the British bugles And the throb of the British drums. Our hearts grow sore and sullen As year by year rolls by, And your cold, contemptuous actions Give your fervent words the lie. Are we only an English market, Held dear for the sake of trade? Or are we a part of the Empire, Close welded as hilt and blade? If we are to cleave together As mother and son through life, Give us our share of the burden, Let us stand with you in the strife. If we are to share your glory, Let the sons whom the South has bred Lie side by side on your battlefields With England's heroes dead. A nation is never a nation Worthy of pride or place Till the mothers have sent their firstborn To look death on the field in the face. Are we only an English market, Held dear for the sake of trade? Or are we a part of the Empire Close welded as hilt and blade? If so, let us share your dangers, Let the glory we boast be real, Let the boys of the South fight with you, Let our children taste cold steel. Do you think we are chicken-hearted? Do you count us devoid of pride? Just try us in deadly earnest, And see how our boys can ride.

  • Hesitance Against Violence, February 4, 2008
    40 http://onfaith.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/panelists/willis_e_elliott/2008/02/hesitance_against_violence.html Hesitance against Violence As a Christian, I hesitate to criticize other religions. Nothing human is perfect, no culture is perfect, no religion (the root and heart of culture) is perfect. And pointing to others’ flaws has the double downside that it misdirects attention both from one’s own weaknesses and from others’ strengths. But faced with this question, I cannot avoid a few comments on Islam and violence: “A journalism student in Afghanistan has been sentenced to death for distributing an internet article that was considered an insult to the Prophet Muhammad. Do Islamic beliefs preclude freedom of speech? What about other faiths?” 1.....I preface these remarks with what I said in prefacing my teaching of Islam in the University of Hawaii: "This is a noble religion of high contributions to humanity and with a high potential for contributing to global peace and prosperity." I am pained to have to speak of any downside of any religion. Would that we could speak of the downside each of one's own religion and only of the upside of all the others! But we can honor truth and hope only by admonishing as well as affirming one another. 2.....Violence is a factor in all human traditions, all cultural-religious histories. I confess my own religion's shameful story of it. But the formative Christian literature has a greater suspicion of violence, and less expectation of what good it may achieve, than does the formative Islamic literature. This is largely because of a difference in the roles of our founders: Muhammad, the warrior prophet, led in killing; Jesus, the nonviolent announcer of the full-coming kingdom of God, was killed.
