Jewish studies has now moved from its traditional place in Catholic institutions, which is a minor place in the theology department where courses on the Hebrew Scripture have been taught, to a program that is much more expansive.

This is an academic program, not a Jewish or Israeli lobbying group, ... We will teach Judaism as a culture and as a history.

But for 30 years, people would make their entire living in those 10 days. Their yearly wage.

Narrow is the mansion of my soul; enlarge Thou it, that Thou mayest enter in. It is ruinous; repair Thou it. It has that within which must offend Thine eyes; I confess and know it. But who shall cleanse it? or to whom should I cry, save Thee? Lord, cleanse me from my secret faults, and spare Thy servant from the power of the enemy. I believe, and therefore do I speak.

I know the established Christian theology... I know the enemy, but the enemy doesn't know me. Thus the enemy has already lost the war.

If tribulation is a necessary element in redemption, we must anticipate that it will never cease till God sees the world to be either redeemed or no further redeemable.
