July 24, 2002Mideast Deja Vu? George Bush, Meet Emperor Hadrianby Joe Katzman at July 24, 2002 10:18 AM
You know, says Bruce Hill, we've seen this sort of thing before. "A Middle Eastern religious faith which was well-entrenched in the rest of the world challenged the might of the world's only superpower, sustained by the belief that God world grant them victory, indeed that the Almighty would be forced to come to their assistance. That religion was crushed, its people scattered to the four winds and its most sacred site was razed."Folks didn't screw around then, did they? Bruce, however, thinks that may have been good news in the long run. Even though the faith in question was his own. "Yet from that terrible blow grew a new way of understanding God and our relationship to Him, The supposedly destroyed faith slowly knitted itself back together again, and developed a humbler spirit, and a more humane approach to faith.... Ultimately, the terrible defeat in fact provided the way in which that religious vision was able to break away from some of its tribal culture origins and further develop its universalist outlook. It enabled the religion to become portable, not tied so much to a single geographic location, but to a vision of justice, morality and ethical behaviour reflecting the nature of God."For the Christians reading this, you'll be very interested in his comments re: the effect this had on the battles between the Pharisees and the Sadducees. If you've always wondered what the heck that was about in the story of Jesus, now you'll know. Bruce traces the links to today's Rabbinic Judaism. Great pair of blog posts, Bruce. Good on ya, mate!
