The greatest wave of deportations of German Jews and Christians of Jewish origin to Poland has been going on since the middle of October. keywords: action; anti; archbishop; assembly; attitude; authorities; behalf; bishop; catholic; children; christian; christianity; church; church assembly; church council; church leaders; churches; cit; committee; conference; council; countries; country; day; days; dutch; end; europe; evangelical; fact; faith; federal; following; france; french; general; geneva; german; god; government; help; hitler; human; ibid; israel; jesus; jewish; jews; law; letter; life; london; lutheran church; march; measures; meeting; members; national; nazi; netherlands; new; non; order; page; people; persecution; protest; protestant; public; question; race; racial; reformed church; refugees; reich; rev; semitism; spirit; state; switzerland; sympathy; synod; time; united; war; world; world council; york cache: 14764.txt plain text: 14764.txt item: #2 of 6 id: 21905 author: Reggio, Isaac Samuel title: A Guide for the Religious Instruction of Jewish Youth date: None words: 24906 flesch: 47 summary: The scope of Judaism is, then, the propagation among men of the _religious idea_, and this comprises the doctrines revealed respecting the Deity and respecting man, in consequence of which the latter will be able to attain his true goal. Of all that surrounds him, nothing is of any value in his eyes but that which may contribute to the accomplishment of the Divine design; in all passing events he sees but as many dispositions of Providence calculated to direct men to the path in which they are called to walk; the very thoughts which cross his mind, and the wishes which form themselves in his heart, he regards them not as the productions of his own soul, but as emanations from the Spirit of God which dwells in him, and pervades all his being. keywords: chapter; divine; duties; existence; god; good; heart; human; idea; justice; law; life; love; man; mankind; men; mind; nature; reason; religion; revelation; self; soul cache: 21905.txt plain text: 21905.txt item: #3 of 6 id: 2849 author: Josephus, Flavius title: Against Apion date: None words: 41585 flesch: 52 summary: And now, in the first place, I cannot but greatly wonder at those men, who suppose that we must attend to none but Grecians, when we are inquiring about the most ancient facts, and must inform ourselves of their truth from them only, while we must not believe ourselves nor other men; for I am convinced that the very reverse is the truth of the case. As for ourselves, therefore, we neither inhabit a maritime country, nor do we delight in merchandise, nor in such a mixture with other men as arises from it; but the cities we dwell in are remote from the sea, and having a fruitful country for our habitation, we take pains in cultivating that only. keywords: account; apion; city; country; egypt; egyptians; god; gods; great; hath; history; jews; josephus; king; laws; man; men; nation; nay; people; place; priests; temple; things; time; war; years cache: 2849.txt plain text: 2849.txt item: #4 of 6 id: 45952 author: Orchard, W. E. (William Edwin) title: The Evolution of Old Testament Religion date: None words: 66669 flesch: 60 summary: 3b; cxxiv. 5; cxxx. 6; cxxxix. 18b); while the so-called Nature Psalms (viii., xix., xxix., lxv., xciii., civ., cxlviii.) yield a conception of creation and of the relation of God to the world that has not sufficiently shaped theology, and as a consequence has made it possible for us to think of a conflict between religion and science. The idea of a nation changing its religion is certainly repugnant to the Semitic mind (Jer. ii. 10, 11), and some more natural connection seems necessary, both from the narrative and from general considerations. keywords: age; baal; book; character; conception; david; exile; fact; form; god; hebrew; history; idea; isaiah; israel; jehovah; judges; kings; land; law; life; man; meaning; moses; nation; people; period; place; prophetic; prophets; psalms; religion; revelation; sam; spirit; temple; testament; thought; time; word; work; worship cache: 45952.txt plain text: 45952.txt item: #5 of 6 id: 4732 author: Wellhausen, Julius title: Prolegomena to the History of Israel date: None words: 251225 flesch: 65 summary: While the concrete and material details of 1Kings vi., vii. are reproduced only in an imperfect and cursory manner, the act of consecration on the other hand, and the discourse delivered by Solomon on the occasion, is accurately and fully given (v. 2-vii. 10) in accordance with 1Kings viii.; such additions and omissions as occur are all deliberate.

It is, however, clear that modern Judaism now realises the mistake made by the Reformers of the mid-nineteenth century. keywords: articles; belief; book; century; day; god; history; idea; israel; jew; jews; judaism; law; life; lord; maimonides; man; men; mysticism; prayer; religion; sabbath; soul; synagogue; thou; world cache: 6971.txt plain text: 6971.txt
