Lee Blackburn Jr. The Mystery of the Synagogue: Cyril of Alexandria on the Law of Moses 2009 .txt text/plain 347 8 22 This is perhaps most evident in the way in which Cyril's exegetical account of the impurity of Jewish moral character supplies the theoretical underwriting for the strict separation of church from synagogue, a separation demanded by his incipient notion of Jewish space as marginal, polluted, and estranged from the divine presence localized in the church, the true tabernacle. Although many of Cyril's criticisms of the limitations of the law clearly stem from his Pauline theological commitments, certain motifs that figure prominently in his exegesis, such as that of Jewish pollution, are not without extra-theological implications. cache/tq57np21m0h.txt txt/tq57np21m0h.txt
