All were silent; for none thought it safe, in the presence of the Grand Master, to avow any interest in the calumniated prisoner, lest he should be suspected of leaning towards Judaism. Not even the prospect of reward, far less any feelings of compassion alone, could surmount this apprehension.

Zarathustra now meets the last pope, and, in a poetical form, we get Nietzsche's description of the course Judaism and Christianity pursued before they reached their final break-up in Atheism, Agnosticism, and the like.

Casaubon as to the unsound opinions of Middleton concerning the relations of Judaism and Catholicism; and passed easily to a half-enthusiastic half-playful picture of the enjoyment he got out of the very miscellaneousness of Rome, which made the mind flexible with constant comparison, and saved you from seeing the world's ages as a set of box-like partitions without vital connection.

But, as I stood under the blackened, groined arches of that old synagogue, made dimly visible by the seven thin candles in the sacred lamp, while our Jewish cicerone reached down the Book of the Law, and read to us in its ancient tongue--I felt a shuddering impression that this strange building, with its shrunken lights, this surviving withered remnant of medieval Judaism, was of a piece with my vision.

Liberal Judaism has chosen Anna Michelle Gerrard, 25, for the role which will involve organising social and religious activities for Jewish students and professionals at Birmingham Progressive Synagogue, in Sheepcote Street, city centre as well as providing pastoral care for young Jews.

Conservative Judaism--tradition without fundamentalism, faith with critical judgment, modernity with heart--is precisely what American Judaism needs to thrive as we move into this new century.

Founded thousands of years ago, Judaism (JOO-dee-ihz-uhm) was the first major religion to teach a belief in one God.

Geering contends that the stone that the builders rejected--the relatively nontheistic wisdom stream of Bible books such as Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Jesus' parables--underrated by both Judaism and Christianity, deserves to become the chief cornerstone of the intellectual/emotional edifice of the future.

But modernity is not an obvious product or Christianity or Judaism. It is, rather, derived from the ideas of individual Christians and Jews, ideas which have slowly become accepted by the majority of their co-religionists.
