Methodological critique of the article 'Prophethood in the Religions of Judaism and Christianity' مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

In Judaism, as soon as the Children of Israel exited Egypt, they engaged in disruption and returned to the worship of primordial gods and manifestations of nature (Baal worship); thus, their conflicts and struggles with Moses and subsequent prophets continued throughout Jewish history, and events such as the Babylonian captivity were only barely able to familiarize them with the thought of the hereafter and, consequently, integrate them into the realm of society and history. Of course, this current was not specific to Christianity; rather, in Judaism and Islam as well, in the form of mysticism based on renouncing the world, it posed the question of human perfection and meaning in his return to the beginning of history (the realm of non-existence) 1. In other words, unlike the human of the first period who saw no trace of God in the realm of history, the human of the second period came to believe that in history, God has presence and permeation by virtue of His actions and attributes, and they attain meaning, sanctity, and perfection to the extent of following God's commands within the fabric of society and history. Thus, from the perspective of the method of the phenomenology of religion, the prophetic current can be interpreted in this way: that the center of meaning and the sacred structure of man was transferred, on one hand, from the tribe and the beginning of history to society and history, and on the other hand, by separating the sacred from nature, it presented it as the Almighty God at the head of human actions within the fabric of society and history.
