Book Description
Excerpt from Some Early Jewish Catechisms: An Address Delivered in the Course of Public Lectures at the Jewish Theological Seminary, New York, March 25, 1909 The book itself begins with the first conversation be tween the teacher and his pupil. The pupil greets the teacher on entering, and being asked who he was, he says that he is a, Jew born. In the image of God. The discussion at once turns on the point of the purpose of existence. The pupil declares that he was born to serve God without the expectation of any reward, al though the reward is sure to come in the next world. To the rabbi's question as to the means by which we might expect to inherit the world to come, the pupil is made to declare the three cardinal principles of religion - faith in God, trust and love. In describing the prin ciple of faith, the youth is led to enumerate the thir teen creeds of Maimonides, being frequently interrupted by the teacher, thereby eliciting further explanation and elaboration. Trust in God is the next point discussed, which. Is made to include divine providence, God's kind ness to all creatures, and, as a corollary, the doctrine of prayer. Love of God and love of all his creatures are then made the basis for the whole Law. There are seven deadly sins which men must shun - idleness, pride, glut tony, sensuality, anger, stinginess and jealousy, all of which have their corresponding virtues. After enumer ating several other sins that are hateful to God and summarizing the whole system as laid down, the teach er asks the pupil what difference there is in the knowl edge one has of these matters from tradition, as he has it, and the knowledge which one obtains by reason ing these things out for himself. To this the pupil re plies that while the difference is not apparent to him, still he thinks that it would be more satisfactory if the teacher were to explain to him these principles so that his belief might be strengthened thereby. The teacher is very much pleased with the answer and gives him a lengthy discourse ou' proper religious and moral conduct. With' which the book concludes.

Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist
Author: Brant Pitre
Publisher: Image
ISBN: 0385531850
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
A revelatory exploration of the Jewish roots of the Last Supper that seeks to understand exactly what happened at Jesus’ final Passover. “Clear, profound and practical—you do not want to miss this book.”—Dr. Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb’s Supper and The Fourth Cup Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as: What was the Passover like at the time of Jesus? What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah? What was Jesus’ purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover? And, most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he said, “This is my body… This is my blood”? To answer these questions, Pitre explores ancient Jewish beliefs about the Passover of the Messiah, the miraculous Manna from heaven, and the mysterious Bread of the Presence. As he shows, these three keys—the Passover, the Manna, and the Bread of the Presence—have the power to unlock the original meaning of the Eucharistic words of Jesus. Along the way, Pitre also explains how Jesus united the Last Supper to his death on Good Friday and his Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Inspiring and informative, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is a groundbreaking work that is sure to illuminate one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith: the mystery of Jesus’ presence in “the breaking of the bread.”
