Ecstasy
Ecstasy may be defined as “an abnormal state of consciousness, in which the reaction of the mind to external stimuli is either inhibited or altered in character. In its more restricted sense, as used in mystical theology, it is almost equivalent to trance.” The term has been used to explain certain
Luke's Use of the Old Testament
In Luke 24:47 we are told that Jesus explained to the Emmaus disciples “Moses and all the prophets” and “interpreted in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” This statement reflects Luke's intense interest, both in his Gospel and in Acts, in the relationship between the ancient scriptures and the events of the life of Jesus and the activity of the apostles. In this paper I shall discuss briefly the variety of ways in which Luke quote…
Judiskt – kristet – mänskligt. Ett symposium om Martin Buber
In this article the authors outline the personal history and thoughts of Martin Buber. Buber’s Judaism stresses the realization of the prophetic ideals – themes which he also found in the Hasidic tradition. Another realization of these ideals he found in cultural Zionism, for which he fought in Europe as well as in his later homeland, Israel. His following in the political field was rather limited, whereas his influence on dialogical philosophy, …

The symbolism of Mesopotamian cult images
Is. 44: 12-20 contains a satirical description of the way the pagans, i.e., the Babylonians, make their "gods", i.e., their idols. "The ironsmith fashions it and works it over the coals; he shapes it with hammers, and forges it with his strong arm ... The carpenter stretches a line, he marks it out with a pencil; he fashions it with planes, and marks it with a compass; he shapes it into the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to dwell in a…

On the Islamic theory of the state
From the very beginning, Islam has devoted more interest to polities and political theory than most other religions. If it can be said with some right that Jesus was unpolitical, Muhammad was certainly not. Islam makes no distinction between religion and polities, but the two are intimately connected, and political theory has a religious and theological motivation. That implies that, in theory, it is based on the Koran and on Tradition (sunnah) i…

The problems of syncretism
That which happens when two religions meet is obviously different from case to case. It is possible for two "organized" religions to exist side by side for centuries without any exchange taking place. But otherwise, we are obviously moving along a continuum, the one pole of which is the repression of one of the two religions, the other a complete fusion of them. From another point of view, the results of syncretism may be grouped according to the…

The problem of fatalism
Since in most languages the words for 'destiny' are rather ambiguous, it is necessary to make it clear from the outset what we mean when referring to a man's destiny. As has already emerged, there are two English words that should be taken into consideration, "destiny" and "fate". According to the Oxford dictionary, "destiny" means (1) That which is destined or fated to happen. (2) That which is destined to happen to a particular person, country,…

Islamic fatalism
The author sketches the historical background, then the teaching of the Koran, and finally, the development of the typical Islamic fatalism. The fatalism of Islam has to be viewed against the background of the ideas of pre-Islamic Arabia. Unfortunately, there is no other evidence from this epoch that a few poems on a very restricted range of topics which have been able to survive Islamic censure. The conventional and stereotyped character of thes…

A Note on the Karatepe Text
In that-part of the Phoenician Karatepe text has been hitherto published, there are at least two instances of a peculiar grammatical construction, consisting of an infinitive with a suffix then a substantive expressing the same thing as the suffix: col. II 1. II: D'l Mn:lri, that the Danunians might live, col. III 1. I9: 5p: rnni, so BaCal might give. This construction has not been paid due attention to before, spite of the fact there are some in…

The Conception of Faith in the Koran
It is well known that mu'min, believer or faithful, is a very common designation for the adherents of the religion founded by Mohammed; in the Koran it is found even more frequently than muslim. This must imply that faith, 'imdn, is something essential this religion. And, as a matter of fact, through all Mohammed's preaching we find that is an absolute requirement for those who want enter Paradise; those who do not are condemned the severe punish…
