サマリー
あらすじ・解説
The concept of sacrifice is one that differs sharply from the pagan to the covenantal setting. Today, Rabbi Rocklin will address the following questions:
- How does the cult of Dionysus uniquely position Greece—and eventually Rome—to be open to the notion of the covenant?
- What is the difference between the Jewish and Greek aversion to human sacrifice?
- Why must the Greek gods follow through on all prophecies in contrast to the God of Bible who can be persuaded to change his mind?
