  • Paul and the Nomos in Light of Ritual Theory

    Open AccessIthamar GruenwaldARTICLENew Testament Studies2008

    This article wishes to handle the subject of the Nomos in Paul from a new perspective, namely from Religious Studies, within a framework where rituals and Ritual Studies receive priority. Nomos is generally translated as ‘the Law’ (with a capital ‘L’), meaning the Torah of Moses, the Pentateuch; by implication, it also covers the rabbinic modes of Torah explication. Commonly, the term and the negation of its religious relevance mark the manner in…

  • The Economic and Social Origins of Gnosticism

    Ithamar Gruenwald, Henry A GreenARTICLENumen1990

    This dissertation is a response to the call for the application of sociological methods to the study of Gnosticism. It treats the economic and social origins of Gnosticism as a case study in the sociology of religious movements and situates Gnosticism in relation to the social and psychological dislocations produced by the expansion of the Roman Empire. In particular, it examines the transformation in the mode of production in Egypt during the Pt…

    Ithamar GruenwaldARTICLELeonardo1974

    This article considers visual or plastic fine art from the viewpoints of Western metaphysics and mysticism. Considerations of this type led the writer to similar conclusions as the one reached by the Spanish philosopher, Ortega Y Gasset, who spoke about the ‘dehumanization’ of modern art, entailing a new conception of the relationship of art to nature. The author points out that kinetic art produced by means of electric and electronic systems tra…
