  1. "[A] #Jewish #scholar of #Christian #Scriptures. Levine has worked to improve how #Christians and her fellow #Jews understand each other. She's spoken at many #churches and taught students about the ancient Jewish context of Jesus' life and teachings. She's #authored numerous #books, some in tandem with Christian #scholars; she and a co- #author even presented one #book personally to #Pope Francis.

    But after the #Catholic Biblical Association of #America announced earlier this month that Levine was elected its first-ever Jewish president, an #antisemitic backlash began.

    Denunciations appeared [...] Critics called her “anti-Christian,” claimed she's trying to hijack #Catholicism, denounced Jews for not accepting Jesus, and tacked on anti- #Zionist comments.

    While some questioned why the association would appoint anyone who wasn't a Catholic, much of the criticism was infused with anti-Jewish statements. They come at a time of rising #antisemitism in the country.

    #NewTestament: #1Thessalonians 4:14–18. While many modern #Christians imagine the "Rapture" as being taken into #heaven forever, Paul had a very different—and far more cosmic—view. Drawing on #Greek and #Romanphilosophy, especially #MiddlePlatonism and #Stoicism, Paul describes spiritual (#pneumatic) bodies, #atmospheric levels, and even an invisible, #divine substance animating #creation.

  4. In Dakshina Kannada’s Belthangady, Syrian Catholics are at home with BJP

    Because of the risks involved, the cooking of beef in many Catholic households in Belthangady is now done secretly but that hasn’t stopped them from politically supporting the Hindutva cause.
