At the end of the 4th cent. Jerome decided to translate the OT into Latin from the Hebrew manuscripts that were available to him, and not from the “traditional” Greek text. This fact provoked the reaction of Augustine who considered that the Greek translation of the LXX must be the starting point of every translation, since it had the authority of the apostles. The two great figures of the Latin West engaged in a dialectical battle in which we find clearly delineated the two principles which are in tension and which have determined the reception of the biblical text down to our time: the value of the “original” text (hebraica veritas) and the authority of the text received by the Church (Septuaginta auctoritas). Facing this “battle” we are dealing with some very up-to-date questions: Is it possible to speak of a canonical text of the OT? In what language is that text? On what text should our liturgical translations be based? Is there an “original” text of the Bible? Can an ancient version come to be superior to the text which it is translating? What is the value of the LXX?
ST. DOMINIC'S MAJOR SEMINARY LECTURE NOTES A. A study of Paul's first letter to the Galatians St. Paul's Letter to the Churches in Galatia is often considered the most Pauline of all Pauline writing. According to Raymond Brown, it is one single piece in which anger probably caused Paul to say what he really thought. As such, it has a prophetic slant like that of Amos. Paul opted to talk straight and radically challenge the Galatians. 1.0. The Historical Background 1.1. Galatia: 2.0. Some Key Literary Features of the Letter 2.1. Authorship: In terms of authorship, Galatians is generally considered to be genuinely Pauline. Very few scholars have any serious doubt that St. Paul is the author behind this writing. 2.2. Date: Just as the location of the Galatian churches is under dispute, so too the time and place of writing can be determined only with probability. Since the majority favour the view that Paul is writing to the Churches in the north, it also seems probable that he wrote this letter shortly after his second visit to them (Acts 18:23), while at Ephesus

The dead end of liberal American Zionism – Mondoweiss2024 •
In 2024, the meaning of “pro-Israel, pro-peace” is macabre: J Street supports U.S. military aid to Israel as it carries out a genocide. Liberal American Zionism has revealed itself to only be a tool for the subjugation of the Palestinian people. BY ABBA SOLOMON AND NORMAN SOLOMON MAY 26, 2024

Teaching geopolitics through sport2024 •
This paper reflects on teaching sport in political geography undergraduate courses in the United States, through which I simultaneously aim to de-essentialize geopolitics and de-essentialize sport. I integrate sport examples in diverse courses on political geography and teach a dedicated "Geopolitics of Sport" course. By framing my approach to the political geographies of sport around the specific term "geopolitics," I deliberately tap into a sense among Americans that it is a "more serious" topic than "geography." Since students in my courses rarely come from Geography, but are primarily majors in Political Science and International Relations, "geopolitics" invites them to approach sports geography as a serious subject and to be more open to the field of geography. Since geography remains a neglected subject in US schools and universities, teaching sports geography through geopolitics, and geopolitics through sports geography, can be a powerful way to encourage critical geographic reasoning, especially among non-geography majors.
