The following report represents the collective effort of many individuals within WWF and its partners in the conservation, scientific and angling communities and is an attempt to help bridge the gap in public knowledge of the status of Atlantic salmon across it’s range. Conducting our research we learned that, in many instances, not enough information was available to formulate an appropriate assessment of a particular river’s population of wild Atlantic salmon. Where sufficient infor- mation existed we were able to make the proper assessment and categoriza- tion based on readily available government data. In other circumstances, when information was more difficult to discern, every effort was made to apply precautionary standards and conservative analysis to our review and assessment. WWF submits this report to all those interested in helping to protect and restore this magnificent species and we sincerely hope that it better informs the international community of the salmon’s plight and begins a dynamic discussion of ways to restore populations of wild Atlantic salmon to health in all their native rivers. WWF, May 2001 ix Acknowledgements his Status of Wild Atlantic Salmon report started as an initiative of WWF’s T Norway office. It evolved into a collaboration among numerous WWF offices, in particular WWF-U.S.’s Marine Conservation Program and WWF’s European Freshwater Programme. WWF also collaborated with government agencies, academic institutions and other NGO’s. We are grateful to the Norwegian Ministry of Agriculture for intial funding and to WWF-U.S., WWF-Norway and WWF’s European Freshwater Programme for additional funding and support. Henning Røed, of WWF Norway, coordinated and analyzed the majority of the research and was the main editor during a four-year process. Gareth Porter, Jim Gourlay and Richard DeVitre edited and researched several sections of the report. The freshwater sections were the result of extensive research by Hanne Christiansen, Kjell Moe, Mark Vanderbeeken and Jane Madgwick. Our spe- cial thanks to Bill Taylor, president, and researchers Stephen Tinker and Fred Whoriskey as well as Sue Scott of the Atlantic Salmon Federation and Ed Baum, former Senior Scientist for the Atlantic Salmon Commission, Maine. In addition, we would like to thank our in-country contributors, who did excellent work.

  • Rereading Paul on Circumcision, Torah, and the Gentiles Asha K
    A Seal of Faith: Rereading Paul on Circumcision, Torah, and the Gentiles Asha K. Moorthy Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Asha K. Moorthy All rights reserved ABSTRACT A Seal of Faith: Rereading Paul on Circumcision, Torah, and the Gentiles Asha K. Moorthy It is generally held that the Apostle Paul dismissed the rite of circumcision for Gentiles. This dissertation, however, offers a different perspective. Through examination of relevant sources regarding the role of circumcision in conversion along with consideration of Philo of Alexandria’s depiction of Abraham as an exemplar of and for the proselyte, this project will suggest that Paul, in Rom 4:11‐ 12, uses the example of Abraham in order to explain the value of circumcision for Jews as well as for Gentiles. It will be argued, moreover, that Paul’s objections to circumcision, as found in Romans as well as in Galatians, Philippians, and 1 Corinthians, were not to the rite per se but rather to the notion that circumcision was necessary for entering the Abrahamic covenant, “becoming a Jew,” justification, salvation, spiritual transformation, protection or identity in Christ. A case will be made, moreover, that in Paul’s day there were two competing forms of circumcision and that Paul was opposed to the more radical procedure. Finally, divergences in Paul’s handling of the topic of circumcision in different letters will be explained through attention to particular audience concerns.
