Title: Discussion problem that needs about 3-5 sentences. Post by: foltzy15 on Jun 7, 2019 1. What does the term “prophet” in the biblical sense mean? What is the role of prophecy in early Judaism? What has kept them from being elevated to the level of deities as often happens in other religions? Is the veneration of the prophets a covert reinvention of polytheism?
2. The Diaspora resulted in the scattering of the Jewish people throughout the world yet they remained a cohesive, albeit scattered, group with a self identity as “Jews”. What was responsible for this resilience? |
