Truthfulness and the permissibility of Falsehood in the Jewish tradition

Walter Homolka

Abstract In this article, I deal with the concept of truth and lie in Jewish traditional literature, examining its development in the Hebrew Bible and rabbinic literature. An essential aspect in understanding this concept is the dualism of ‘good’ and ‘evil’ impulses and the free will of human beings, who were created in the image of God and have the choice to decide between right and wrong.

Krieg und Frieden im jüdischen Kontext

Walter Homolka

Nicht erst die modernen kampferischen Auseinandersetzungen des israelischen Volkes um Eigenstaatlichkeit, auch das Bild Gottes vom Herrn der Heerscharen, das teilweise in der hebraischen Bibel zu finden ist, lasst zunachst schwerlich den Gedanken zu, das judische Volk strebe „wesensgemas“ eine universelle pazifistische Entwicklung an. Aber es lasst sich zeigen, dass der Pazifismus durchaus fest im Vorbild der Glaubensvater, Propheten Gelehrten und Rabbiner wie im Judentum generell verankert ist. Trotz der lange fehlenden Eigenstaatlichkeit und Erfahrung des judischen Volkes als verstreute Minderheit ist der Gedanke der messianischen Zeit des Friedens auch und besonders heute nach dem Holocausttrauma zukunftspragend.

Jewish Jesus Research and its Challenge to Christology Today

Walter Homolka

The Quests for the Historical Jesus resulted in a move “back to the Jewish roots!” Jewish Jesus research positioned Jewry within a dominantly Christian culture and permitted Jews to feel more at ease with Jesus the Jew. Christians are challenged to respond now with a new Christology.
