The intensely troubling story of Abraham's near-sacrifice of Isaac has been central in Jewish thought and biblical interpretation. Jewish thinkers in ancient, medieval and modern times have used this story to think about questions like the meaning and purpose of sacrifice, the nature of Divine mercy, and even to call into question God's justice. This lecture will show how midrashic and medieval interpretation made this story a Jewish one, deeply connected to Jewish ritual, practice, history and
hope.

In partnership with the First Analysis Institute of Integrative Studies, CTU and the Bernardin Center have been engaged in furthering our efforts in trilateral interreligious dialogue through a program entitled, “IN GOOD FAITH: Jews, Christians, and Muslims Sharing Perspectives on Issues that Matter to Our Faith Communities and to Our World.”
The “IN GOOD FAITH” programs for 2011-2012 consist of two events under the broad theme of “Approaching Difficult Ethical and Moral Questions and Issues from a Faith Perspective.”
What is hope? The Apostle Paul, writing to the Christian community at Rome reminded them that “hope that is seen is no hope at all” (Rom 8:24). Rather, hope is the patient and persevering expectation that God will bring forth good, even when there does not seem to be any visible evidence that this is actually happening.
Welcome to this eve of Halloween celebration. The name “Halloween” itself is derived from anticipation of the feast of All Saints—it is the eve of the hallowed or all saints celebration. So we are on the eve of the eve… Since I stole the name The Far Side from Gary Larson I thought it best to begin with one of his cartoons, literally about the farside!!
We think of our loved ones who have gone before us and, as Christians have for centuries, wonder what life beyond death truly is. The biblical peoples, too, yearned to know more about the “far side.” This Sundays at CTU presentation will consider in word and artistic images the rich variety of metaphors that the Scriptures use in an attempt to understand what our destiny beyond death may be. For most of its history in biblical times, the people of Israel had no clear convictions about the afterlife.
