5 F O R Ralph and Rosa Kolbet A N D John and Florence Daley, who taught us to bless the Lord.

6 For as the different strings of the harp or lyre, each of which gives forth a sound of its own seemingly unlike that of any other, are thought by the unmusical who do not understand the theory of harmony to be discordant because the sounds are dissimilar, so are they who have not ears to detect the harmony of God in the holy scriptures.... But if a reader comes who has been instructed in God s music, one who is wise in word and deed, and for this reason may be called David which is interpreted skillful player he will produce the sound of God s music.... For he knows that the whole scripture is the one, perfect, harmonious instrument of God, which blends the different sounds, for those who wish to learn, into one harmonious song of salvation. Origen of Alexandria, Commentary on Matthew 2 in Philocalia 6.2 A psalm is the blessing of the people, the praise of God, the acclaim of the masses, the applause of all, the universal speech, the voice of the church, the melodious confession of faith, devotion full of authority, the joy of liberty, the cry of delight, and resounding happiness. A psalm soothes anger, banishes anxiety, and alleviates grief. It is protection at night, instruction by day, a shield in fear, a feast in holiness, the image of tranquillity, the guarantee of peace and harmony, which produces one song from various and sundry voices in the manner of a harp. Ambrose of Milan, Explanatio super Psalmos XII 1.9

7 C H R I S T I A N I T Y A N D J U D A I S M I N A N T I Q U I T Y S E R I E S ( C J A S ) The Christianity and Judaism in Antiquity Program at the University of Notre Dame came into existence during the afterglow of the Second Vati can Council. The doctoral program combines the distinct academic dis ci plines of the Hebrew Bible, Judaism, the New Testament, and the Early Church in an effort to explore the religion of the ancient Hebrews, the diverse forms of Second Temple Judaism, and its offspring into religions of Rabbinic Judaism and the multiple incarnations of early Christianity. While the scope of the program thus extends from the late Bronze and Early Iron Ages to the late antique world, the fulcrum lies in the Second Temple and Early Christian periods. Each religion is explored in its own right, although the program cultivates a History-of-Religions approach that examines their reciprocally illuminating interrelationships and their place in the larger context of the ancient world. During the 1970s a monograph series was launched to reflect and promote the orientation of the program. Initially known as Studies in Judaism and Christianity in Antiquity, the series was published under the auspices of the Center of the Study of Judaism and Christianity in Antiquity. Six volumes appeared from 1975 to In 1988 the series name became Christianity and Judaism in Antiquity as the editorship passed to Charles Kannengiesser, who over - saw the release of nine volumes. Professor Kannengiesser s departure from Notre Dame necessitated the appointment of a new editor. At the same time, the historic connection between the series and the CJA doctoral program was strengthened by the appointment of all CJA faculty to the editorial board. Throughout these institutional permutations, the purpose of the series has continued to be the promotion of research into the origins of Judaism and Christianity with the hope that a better grasp of the common ancestry and relationship of the two world s religions will illuminate not only the ancient world but the modern world as well. Gregory E. Sterling, Series Editor
