A Prayer for the New Year

Lord, set a border on excess,
and let the borders be exceeded.

May people not make false money,
and money not make people false.

Send more truth to our brothers and sisters,
and the truth more brothers and sisters.

Give our rulers a peaceful language,
and with that language a more peaceful Europe.

Help us enjoy the goods of the earth and
the fruits of progress in moderation.

Give us a Church that keeps its spiritual doors open,
and open the doors to a spirit-fi lled Church.

And Lord, grant that we may all get to heaven
but not right away! *

Best wishes to our readers, contributors, colleagues, and all our other friends.

Special Theme Issue

MARRIAGE IN JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE

This issue presents the scholarly fruits of a conference held in March 2019 at the Center for the Study of Christianity, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The conference was devoted to the topic of Marriage and/as Metaphor in Christian and Jewish Traditions. The proceedings published here reflect the variety of issues, dilemmas, metaphors, and reality which the concept of marriage conjured up in the ancient and early modern mind.
