Radio - Encounter: Black Fire on White Fire

Published: November 19, 2009

Biblical Hebrew is an enigmatic language. According to Jewish tradition it's the Holy Tongue, employed by God when He spoke the world into being. This edition of Encounter asks "how has the language of Torah shaped Jewish thought and what does it say today, to Jews and non-Jews alike?"

Featuring guests who are experts in Jewish studies and linguistics, Encounter can be heard on ABC Radio National on Sundays at 7.10am and repeated Wednesdays 7.05pm or listen online.

Encounter: Black Fire on White Fire, Sunday November 22 at 7.10am.

  1. Feature - Promoting "true" martyrdom

    Sadly, martyrdom has received a good deal of bad press in recent times. Misguided religious extremists believe that they can gain a high place in heaven by destroying themselves and others in the name of religious martyrdom. It is the polar opposite of the true martyrdom of good people being prepared to give their lives so that others might have a richer life. - Fr Chris Gleeson, Madonna

  2. Feature - A nation moving on

    The path to nationhood for the East Timorese people was never going to be easy. After a few centuries of oppressive colonial rule by Portugal, including Japan's occupation during World War II, the East Timorese suffered Indonesia's brutal 24 year occupation and the killing and starvation of over 100,000 people. - Stephanie Thomas, The Bilum

  3. Feature - The humanity of Jesus

    Did Jesus ever say "Mum, I wish it wasn’t so hot?" Did He ever say "It’s too wet to go to school today?" Did He ever sleep in when He shouldn’t have? Did He ever kick his dirty clothes under the bed instead of putting them in the laundry basket? - Bill Farrelly, Marist Messenger

  4. Feature - Martyrs for a new society and church

    Like many others, the UCA martyrs were killed for the way they lived, that is, for how they expressed their faith in love. They stood for a new kind of university, a new kind of society, a "new" church. The Jesuits and their colleagues concluded that they could not limit their mission to teaching and innocuous research. - Fr Dean Brackley, Thinking Faith

  5. Feature - Offering hope

    A line drawing of Jesus carrying his Cross adorned his light blue T-shirt as he stood, waiting for Mass to begin, occasionally moving to make space for the steady stream of men heading towards the makeshift confessional. One or two of them appeared incredibly sad, one of them perhaps not far from tears. - Sr Janet Fearns, Catholic Herald
