the religion he understood was judaism and nothing else. that is a profoundly important statement. because it means that when jesus said i am the messiah neither he nor anyone who heard him say that would have heard, i am god. because that would have been inconceivable to a jew. in 5,000 years of jewish scripture tradition history and thought, the idea of a god-man simply does not exist. it means that when he talked in these parable when he talked about the kingdom of god, when he railed about the injustice of his time he did so as a jew. that is the dividing line between the historian and the believer. the believer wants to think that there's something utterly unique about jesus. and there may very well have been. they want to believe that unlike every other jew in his world he was different. he thought differently about god, he thought differently about the law that he preached something that was wholly new and innovative. and that may very well be the case. unfortunately the only access that we have to his teachings are many, many many years later written by people who already b

he didn't ever give up his connection to judaism, he wasn't an observant jew, but as opposed to many of his co-religionists who actually did convert, chagall never did. and, in fact he included and absorbed jewish culture within his paintings, even the ones where he uses the jewish jesus. in exodus, it's a complex theological painting, because there's a jesus figure, it's definitely not jewish, the figure is jesus triumphant and it seems to me that the artist, chagall, is identifying more with the jesus figure than with moses, who's relegated to the right-hand corner. the war was over. and the population needed a kind of spiritual uplift and hope, and to understand that the jewish culture had survived. and he was able to provide this in a way that no other artist at the time could do. if we can contextualize the art that he created during these years and think about what he was going through, his experiences at the time, i think we will come up with a better understanding, a new understanding of chagall. >>> finally, some sad news this week in our "religion and ethics newsweekly" fam
