The communication between God and Moses on Mount Sinai is such a powerful narrative in the Holy Book that the subsequent fusion of revelation and reason - a process explored in earlier episodes of this essay - fades into the background, even...

In addition to a plausible depiction of the Kingdom of God, the conceptual construction draws towards an alternative for the desirable world, rooted in a sacred document. Immersed in contemporaneity, the millennia-old document develops the...

As the author of this essay, I take responsibility for the choices and processing that lead to the presented concept of the "Kingdom of God." I will use first-person writing to avoid any confusion with expressions of established exegesis....

The spiritual potential opened by verse "26. Let us make man in Our image and likeness" (Genesis:1) is supported by the immediately following verse "27. And God made man in His own image; in the image of God He made him; he made male...

This essay builds the concept of the "Kingdom of God" in an intellectual endeavor that has nothing to do with archaeology and very little to do with history, yet proceeds similarly to reconstructing an ancient jar, starting from the...

The expressions "Kingdom of God" and "Tikkun ha Olam" correspond to the hope of access to an ideal/better world, conceived/allowed by divinity, and can be understood as synonyms (as they appear in some authors), but have the...

The scandal sparked by the Apostle Paul's question "Why the Law?" from the Epistle to the Galatians has been going on for two thousand years. According to historians' periodization, the Epistle was probably written around 50-51...

The wave effect - like circular waves of water stirred around the center where a stone has fallen - is found as an invariant in the way the Jews thought about the creation of the universe, in the way they understand the Tanakh/Old Testament...

Backward is Pharisaism and Saul of Tarsus, forward is the Apostle Paul and Christianity, and in the middle is Revelation, as he himself assures us; and/or the deviation from Pharisaism, incorporating Hellenism, as one might observe.

From the biblical proverb "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender" (1), through Hillel's Prosbul (which abolished hope for debt forgiveness and perpetuated enslavement as the inevitability of...

The need for logical discipline in disputatious dialogue arose in the informal war of words, where winning meant abandoning the other, regardless of reason; for instance, if the other person passed away halfway through the sentence, it meant that...

The association between "bloody Herod" and his contemporary, "blind Hillel," is disputed in almost all the literature dedicated to the greatest king of Judea and the "wisest leader of the Sanhedrin," but it will become...

"The Sermon on the Mount" is the most studied text in the New Testament, considered by Christian exegesis to be essential to Christianity.

The emancipation in relations with God pursued in the background of this essay is accompanied by a complementary process of recession of sacredness, as Sforno (1) argues, without specifying that the basis of his statement is legendary:...

With the last of the pairs (zugot), Hillel and Shammai - "The Fathers of the World," as the Talmud rightly calls them (see Appendix 1) - this essay descends from the sacred realm of Scripture, which, through the means of perfecting a holy...

History only covers a little over 5000 years in the evolution of the world. Slow at first, it has picked up pace to a dizzying speed, and the major changes are no longer taking place over a man's lifetime, but in just a few decades, and...

The expressions "Kingdom of God" and "Tikkun ha Olam" meet the hope of access to an ideal/better world, conceived/allowed by God, and they can be understood as synonymous, (like some authors use them), but they have the potential...

The "pension apocalypse is coming"! The more or less qualified keep talking in the written press, TV and on the radio. The uncertainty is being preserved - deliberately by some, by the government members out of pure stupidity!

Legea privind risipa alimentară, adoptată, marţi, în plenul Camerei Deputaţilor, a creat nemulţumiri în rândul reţelelor de magazine, care spun, printre altele, că textul acesteia este neconstituţional.

The enumeration might begin with the astronomic amounts that modern day states have borrowed from their citizens. And they keep on taking on more debt! I will leave this analysis to economists. From a political perspective, the modern state, with...

An increasing number of European officials and analysts are threatening with the end of the European Union, whereas a few years ago that kind of statements was inconceivable.

The world is in crisis, and the concern over exiting the "labyrinth" is a major and justified one.

În lucrarea sa din 1798, Un eseu asupra principiului populaţiei(1), Thomas Malthus a făcut predicţia că ritmul prea rapid de creştere a populaţiei (în jur de 950 de milioane de persoane la acea dată) va duce la epuizarea rezervei de hrană...
