  • Pathway of the Perfect Man a Collection of Articles
    J. FLANNIGAN PATHWAY OF THE PERFECT MAN A COLLECTION OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED BY TRUTH AND TIDINGS The Pathway of the Perfect Man (1): Bethlehem Flanigan, Jim There are six places in the Gospels whose names begin with “Beth.” They are: Bethlehem, Bethabara, Bethsaida, Bethesda, Bethphage, and Bethany. The prefix “Beth” means “The House of,” and these places seem to touchingly chart the Life and Ministry of the Lord Jesus, coming into our world as He did at Bethlehem and finally leaving it from Bethany on the Mount of Olives. Between Bethlehem and Bethany lies that lovely pathway of the perfect Man. It is always a joy to those who love Him to trace that pathway, contemplating the beauties of a life which brought so much pleasure to God. Bethlehem means “The House of Bread” and to that House of Bread He came, He Who was the Bread of God (John 6:33). Bethlehem marked the beginning on earth of a life which, as John tells us, was the manifestation of a life which had been eternally with the Father (1John 1:2). Our fellowship is now with the Father as we also feast on the Bread of God. What emotions are stirred in the hearts of believers at every mention of Bethlehem. I stood one day with an aged saint in the center of Bethlehem. At the realization of where he was, the dear man gripped my arm and as tears welled in his eyes and trickled down his cheeks all he could say was, “Is this Bethlehem? Is this Bethlehem?” What memories flood the hearts of those who love the Savior! A crowded inn; a manger; swaddling clothes; a quiet maid from Nazareth with her newborn Son; a few shepherds; a multitude of angels from the heavens announcing the birth.

  • Lapid Organization & Tourism Division
    World WIZO Lapid Organization & Tourism Division No. 109 August 2013 Dear Chavera, This issue of the "LAPID" is the last for the year 2013/5773. The High Holidays are approaching, and we are all getting ready to receive the New Year in high spirits and good health. In the section on Holidays you will find an article on the process of self examination and personal change that characterizes the period from the beginning of the month of Elul until the end of Yom Kippur. As with most Jewish holidays, food plays an important role but more importantly holiday celebrations are a highly effective means of binding families and passing on traditions. We have included a collection of family-favorite recipes courtesy of WIZO chaverot around the globe. Enjoy! "Successful Jewish Woman" pays homage to Leah Gottlieb, founder of Gottex, the swimsuit brand that has put Israel on the map of high fashion. Sticking to the theme of water, making a splash in Hollywood is the Israeli series "Hatufim" on which Channel 4's US hit "Homeland" is based. On the subject of the "The Jewish World" we present the fascinating story of the unique Jewish community of Iquitos in the Peurvian Amazon which is a true testimony to the survival of spirit, belief and heritage. Thinking Israel and Germany usually ends up with thinking Holocaust. Contrary to this, the "Templer Saga" highlights the positive contribution of the German Templers to the State of Israel. On a less optimistic note "Antisemitism" addresses the harsh reality of anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli sentiments Jewish community leaders are grappling with.

  • Introduction to Galilee: Volumes 1 and 2
    Introduction to Galilee: Volumes 1 and 2 David A. Fiensy and James Riley Strange Galilee has fascinated historians for the last 150 years. Ernest Renan, the nineteenth-century biographer of Jesus, thought that ancient Galilee must have been a paradise. He referred to the area around Nazareth as “This enchanted circle. .” Galilee was “charming and idyllic” and was characterized by green, shade, beautiful flowers and small, gentle animals. “In no country in the world do the mountains spread themselves out with more harmony. Galilee, he thought, “spiritualised itself in ethereal dreams—in a kind of poetic mysticism, blending heaven and earth.”1 It was here in Renan’s dreamlike never-never-land that he pictured Jesus’ youth. What we need is a more sober appraisal of ancient Galilee. The research in the last thirty years has sought to do that, but, nevertheless, the current study of Galilee is fraught with con- flicting conclusions. If the Sermon on the Mount is known for its six Antitheses (Matt. 5:21- 48), scholars may look back on this period of research as the Antitheses of Galilee: (1) Some look at Galilee through the lenses of cultural anthropology and macro-sociology;2 others look at Galilee through the lenses of archaeology and reject the use of social theories.3 (2) Some 1.

  • Deconstructing Jesus, Or the Gospel According to Bruce
    DECONSTRUCTING JESUS, OR THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO BRUCE (On Bruce Chilton, Rabbi Jesus: An intimate biography New York &c.: Image Books, Doubleday, 2002 [2000]) by Jacob L. Mey A Christmas diversion I came across Bruce Chilton′s book during a recent trip, where I had an overlay of several hours in Denver, Colo., and used the time to inspect the airport′s book collections. The title struck a chord within me: of course Jesus had been a rabbi just like the other rabbis (such as Hillel, Gamliel, Shammai) whose qabbaloth I had been studying in my Hebrew class at the University of Texas just a few months earlier. I had been struck by the similarity of their teaching and the parables and sayings attributed to Jesus in the Gospels, and now this book offered itself as a welcome complement to my studies. In addition, some rave reviews by both Protestant and Catholic readers, quoted on the back cover, made me put this book on my Christmas wish list, and I used my spare time during the recent vacation to begin what I assumed would be a sheer reading pleasure. Little did I know... As it happened, it didn′t quite turn out the way I had foreseen. Much of my holiday was spent, as expected, in reading Chilton′s book and making notes in the margin; but also, my reading became more and more critical as I advanced in Chilton′s narrative. As it was, I experienced a growing frustration and irritation, and the best way of getting rid of those negative feelings seemed to me, as always, to have it out on paper.
