Dialogue Decalogue - discussion not debate -theology notes

How to write a paper - First there is a method. If you want to write a paper regarding Christians and Jews and you want a Christian perspective - pay attention and give app to prevent other view and then base conclusion for both. Lonergan - First you need data. Then you need understanding followed by judgement and decision. You need to examine both sides of issues. Anti-Semitism - conflict between church and synagogue. Further got away from the death of Jesus, the more problems. Retrojection rather than historical account. Why did Jesus die? There is suggestion that it was written so that Romans would not look bad. The Pharisees were arguing for persons in the community. From the standpoint of the Pharisees, Jesus never answered where persons start - community and vice versa. Where did the Pharisees go? No temple, no job. They fell with the temple. Fathers - 70 A.D. Punishment of God because of crucification of Jesus. Israel offends God. He who consults and hates……(GM) 2nd century, Jesus does the same to God Deicide. 3rd century Tertulliar - anti-Semitism building into 3rd century. 4th - Hippotas - God put curse, because killed Jesus - wander homeless til the end of time. Why has not the Vatican recognized the state of Israel? Not to go against the church fathers. Recognized state of Israel in 1993 for political reasons; not theological. Eupetfis Caesuric - JC. Luthur - venemous beasts. Presbyterian - most worse jobs for Jews. Christians put Jews in Gettos without a church. Hitler would not be possible. Hitler pointed out that he was doing what the Christians were doing for 1500 years. Fathers: Emancipation of the Jews. 18th century (Enlightenment) 2nd half of the 18th century - Church opposed human rights. Church argued to give rights to humans is to take rights away from God. 1862 - Church recognized rights of human. France was first place for hints of rights in 1776. Declaration 1789 of rights of man. This had little effect on the treatment of Jews. 1791 - Jews were given political freedom in France, but still there was prejudice. Dreyfus Affair - (Tales of two cities by Dickens). - was imprisoned, Jewish, plea for innocence. 2. Country - Prussia - Frederick William 3rd; 1858 - England; 1838 (Black slavery stopped) Russia - 1917 - Jews get equality. From the Middle Ages to Enlightenment Jews lived in Ghetto. They learned to survive which is why they are so good now. 2000 years they have been pounded upon. 7% Orthodox Jews. Muslims - 3% of Philippines are Muslim. Muslims suffered as well by Christians there. When Prof was in the Philippines, Muslims were living in the “sticks” No one with a Muslim name could find work. 1980 began change.
