The liturgical space in the Constantine’s basilica of the holy sepulchre in Jerusalem The article examines the question of the liturgical space in the complex of sacred buildings, commemorating the place of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, ris-en by the Emperor Constantine the Great at the beginning of the IV century in Jerusa-lem. The complex was comprised of three single sites. The first of them was the great basilica called Martyrium where most of the liturgies were celebrated. The second place embraced the spacious courtyard with the rock of Golgotha at the top of which was the golden and precious cross. The sources usually call it Crux or Golgotha. The third liturgical space consisted of the impressive rotunda of Anastasis containing the aedicule of the Tomb of Jesus. This way of creating the liturgical space permitted the liturgy of Jerusalem in the first millennium to develop its proper celebrations which further became the model for other rites and liturgies of the East and West. The whole complex was destroyed in 1009 and the Martyrium together with the courtyard of the Golgotha were never rebuilt.

The article serves as a supplement to a recent critical edition: The Yotserot of R. Samuel the Third: A Leading Figure in Jerusalem of the 10th Century (Joseph Yahalom and Naoya Katsumata eds., Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi, Jerusalem 2014, 1139 pp.). The article includes some new texts in the genre of the author's well-known activity in the field of Yotserot as well as a fragment in the genre of the Azharot. The article deals by way of introduction to the full scale of activity in establishing the newly full-fledged Yotserot genre which was introduced mainly in the middle of the century by Sa‛adia Gaon. In so doing he was able to produce two entirely new sets of Yotserot according to his well-known habits of creating parallel literary oeuvre, one for the general public and one for the elite. In a totally different capacity the article deals with a special liturgical technique established by Samuel to be used in his Ahavot and for his Meʼorot. He basically described his wretched nation as a special two-part construct state embodying a plethora of information and a whole world of sympathy.

AbstractRecent epigraphic evidence from Cebel İres Dağı, Çineköy and Tell Šēh Hamad have provided further important additional documentation in Phoenician for a deity Kur(r)a. This article investigates the growing attestations for this deity in the first millennium sources, both cuneiform and alphabetic. In light of the growing occurrences of b'l kr, it proposes a reassessment of the enigmatic phrase b'l krntryš in the Phoenician text from Karatepe.

In 1823, Joseph Smith (1805–44), a farmer and treasure seeker in Upstate New York, had a vision in which a personage told him of ancient golden plates buried in a hillside, which Mormons claim he recovered, translated, and published as the Book of Mormon (1830) and which led to the founding of a restored church (1830). The revelation to Smith that Mormons now refer to as “D&C 3,” that is, the third revelation in the current edition of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' canonized Doctrine and Covenants, provides our first direct window into the emergence of early Mormonism. Although there is evidence to suggest that Smith received what he and others viewed as revelations prior to this one, this is the first revelation that was written down at about the time it was received. This chapter centers on that revelation, using it to reconstruct not only the event itself but the events that led up to and followed from it, as they likely appeared to those who were involved at the time.

Abstract The terms ‘orientalizing’ and ‘orientalization’ have been employed to describe an art historical style, historical period, and process of cultural interaction between East and West within the early first-millennium BCE Mediterranean. With particular focus on Etruria and Italy, this historiography explores the Orientalist framework at the heart of ‘orientalizing’ terms while outlining how modern political movements and ideologies of nationalism and colonialism have influenced interpretations of ‘orientalizing.’ By showing the political viewpoints underlying the origins of the term and the ways in which these positions have continued to shape modern interpretations of the effects of eastern imported objects, ideas, and practices in Etruria, this work argues that the term ‘orientalizing’ should no longer be used. Instead, the period should be fit into existing chronological periodizations, and the process of cultural change should be interrogated outside of an Orientalist discourse.

The theme of the Ascension of Jesus Christ is one of the most JL important in the New Testament, yet during the present century, very little theological attention has been given to it. Most of the published work has been in the form of articles in theological journals and commentaries, though J. G. Davies' Bampton Lectures entitled He Ascended into Heaven, published in 1958, were devoted to the subject, and later, there appeared, also in English, U. Simon's The Ascent to Heaven in 1961. Even H. B. Swete's The Ascended Christ, which first appeared in 1910 and was subsequently published in several editions until 1916, expresses the hope that the work might awaken a response to a renewed sense of the importance of this great Christian festival. His earlier writing, The Apostles' Creed in 1894, contains a chapter on the Ascension which was a spirited reply to the German scholar Harnack, who asserted that the Ascension had no separate place in the primitive tradition, and whose views considerably influenced the thought of New Testament scholarship for many years to come. This article seeks to make an assessment of what the present writer considers to be a subject of the utmost importance, both in regard to its theological significance in the New Testament, and in its relevance for contemporary Christian experience. The Scriptures declare that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified, buried, and raised again the third day.

AbstractIn tracing three possible answers to the question what the 'first millennium' might be for the Armenians, various layers of the Armenian tradition constitutive of the formation of Armenian identity are presented. Three periods are distinguished: the Nairian-Urartian stretching from about 1200 bce to the conquest of the Armenian plateau by the Achaemenids; followed by the Zoroastrian phase, in which political, religious, social, and cultural institutions in Armenia were closely related to Iranian ones, lasting until the adoption of Christianity as state religion in Armenia at the beginning of the fourth century. This heralds the third and last phase considered in this contribution, concluding with the cornerstone of Armenian identity formation in the direction given to Armenia and its Church by Yovhannēs Ōjnec'i (John of Odzun, d. 728), who opted for a moderate form of Miaphysitism after the rejection of the Council of Chalcedon. The developments in each of the three periods are measured against the criteria Smith considered central for the presence of an ethnie, while attention is given to the Iranian aspects of Armenian society, the presence of a Hellenistic strand in its culture, and its western turn upon the adoption of Christianity.
