| ARTICLES RELATED TO Iudaea Province | | | |  Iudaea Province: Encyclopedia II - Judas Iscariot - Judas and Anti-SemitismSome scholars of the New Testament suggest that the name "Judas" was intended as an attack on the Judaeans or on the Judaean religious establishment held responsible for executing Christ. The English word "Jew" is derived from the Latin Judaeus, which, like the Greek Ιουδαιος (Ioudaios), could also mean "Judaean". In the Gospel of John, the original writer or a later editor may have tried to draw a parallel between Judas, Judaea, and the Judaeans (or Jews) in verses 6:70-7:1, which run like this in the King James Bible: ...

| | | | | | Iudaea Province: Encyclopedia II - Pauline Christianity - Rival Doctrines In speaking of 4th-century Christianity, especially after the Council of Nicaea (325), it is useful to speak of the continuation of this mainstream tradition as "Nicene Christianity", in order to differentiate it from emerging and competing doctrines. Paul and his followers denounced other formulations of the Christian oral tradition as heresies. There were other interpreters of the message of Jesus: the Ebionites and Nazarenes and Didache form one contrast to Pauline Christianity; Gnosticism, Marcionism, Montanism, and Arianism form others. ...

| | | | | Iudaea Province: Encyclopedia II - Judas Iscariot - Judas in art and literature Judas has become the archetype of the betrayer in Western culture, with some role in virtually all literature telling the Passion story. In Dante's Inferno, he is condemned to the lowest circle of Hell, where he is one of three sinners deemed evil enough that they are doomed to be chewed for eternity in the mouths of the triple-headed Satan. (The others are Brutus and Cassius, who conspired against and assassinated Julius Caesar.)
Book by Armando Cosani: The Flight of the Feathered Serpent, suggests the untold story of Ju ...

Paul wrote a number of letters to Christian churches and individuals. However, not all have been preserved; 1 Corinthians 5:9 alludes to a previous letter sent by him to the Christians in Corinth that has clearly been lost. Those letters that have survived are part of the New Testament canon, where they appear in order of length, from longest to shortest. A subgroup of these letters, written from captivity, are called the "prison-letters", and ...

| | | | | Iudaea Province: Encyclopedia II - Paul of Tarsus - The Legendary tradition From the mid-2nd century, orally transmitted legends that had grown up about the figure of Paul were embodied in written narratives, that applied contemporary literary conventions of realism and authenticity in order to give weight to this legendary oral core. Their tradition has been characterized (MacDonald 1983) as being in competition with the Pauline pastoral epistles. The pastoral epistles were accepted into the canon, as it developed in the 3rd century, while the legends continued their parallel, apocryphal career. The oral tradition ...

| | | | | Iudaea Province: Encyclopedia II - History of male circumcision - Medical circumcision from 1870 to 1950 in English-speaking countries Until 1870, medical circumcisions were performed to treat conditions local to the penis: phimosis, balanitis, and penile cancer. In that year, Lewis Sayre, a prominent New York orthopedic surgeon and vice president of the newly-formed American Medical Association, examined a five-year-old boy who was unable to straighten his legs, and whose condition had so far defied treatment. Upon noting that the boy's genitals were inflamed, Sayre hypothesized that chronic irritation of the boy's foreskin had paralyzed his knees via reflex neurosis. Sayr ...

| | | | | Iudaea Province: Encyclopedia II - History of male circumcision - Male circumcision to prevent masturbation Non-religious circumcision in English-speaking countries arose in a climate of sexual fear, especially concerning masturbation. In her 1978 article The Ritual of Circumcision,[16] Karen Erickson Paige writes: "In the United States, the current medical rationale for circumcision developed after the operation was in wide practice. The original reason for the surgical removal of the foreskin, or prepuce, was to control 'masturbatory insanity' - the range of menta ...

| | | | | Iudaea Province: Encyclopedia II - History of male circumcision - Male Circumcision in the 19th Century and beyond Until well into the Nineteenth Century, the same sentiments prevailed.
Richard Burton observed that "Christendom practically holds circumcision in horror". This attitude is reflected in the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (1876) which discusses the practice as a religious rite among Jews, Moslems, the ancient Egyptians and tribal peoples in various parts of the world. The author of the entry rejected sanitary explanations of the procedure in favour of a religious one: "like other ...

Edward Gibbon had referred to it as a "singular mutilation" practised only by Jews and Turks and as "a painful and often dangerous rite" ...(R. Darby) [10]
In 1753 in London there was a proposal for Jewish emancipation. It was furiously opposed by the pamphleteers of the time, who spread the fear that Jewish emancipation meant universal circumcision. Men were urged to protect:

| | | | | Iudaea Province: Encyclopedia II - History of male circumcision - Circumcision since 1950 In 1949, a lack of consensus in the medical community as to whether circumcision carried with it any notable health benefit motivated the United Kingdom's newly-formed National Health Service to remove routine infant circumcision from its list of covered services. Since then, circumcision has been an out-of-pocket cost to parents, and the fraction of newborns circumcised in the hospital has fallen to less than one percent.
Similar trends have operated in Canada. Individual provincial heath services began delisting circumcision in the ...

Major medical organizations in the United States and Canada now say that parents should decide what is in their child's best interests, declining to make a recommendation one way or another.

The modern day church has also come under heavy criticism from some quarters for maintaining traditional teaching on such issues as birth control, abortion, and women in the priesthood.
The Roman Catholic Church, however, has adopted more lenient stances on certain issues, in particular the statement that one does not have to be a Catholic to receive access to God’s grace; the intent being that ot ...

Tomb artwork from the Sixth Dynasty (2345 - 2181 BC) shows men with circumcised penises, and one relief from this period shows the rite being performed on a standing adult male. The Egyptian hieroglyph for "penis" depicts either a circumcised or an erect organ. The examination of Egyptian mummies has found both circumcised and uncircumcised men.
Circumcision was common, although not universal, among ancient Semitic peoples. The Book of Jeremiah, written in the sixth ce ...

Paul of Tarsus - Christianity as mystery religion.
In his books The Mythmaker and Paul and Hellenism, Talmudic scholar Hyam Maccoby proposed a theory that Paul was actually a Gentile raised in an environment influenced by the popular Hellenistic mystery religions centered on dying and resurrected savior deities, who later converted to Judaism, hoping to become a Pharisee scholar. Though there are no passages in the Talmud to validate this. He found work in Jerusalem as a police officer of the Sadduc ...
