Tue Oct 24 11:51:52 1995<BR>From: jlionarons\@acad.ursinus.edu <BR> I haven't read Guibert, but while reading this paper it occurred to me that Jean's insistence upon having sex with a "wrinkled old woman" rather than his "pretty young wife" may be a figure for the Jews's "perverse" insistence on retaining the Old Law instead of following the New.  Likewise the promiscuity attributed to Christians who come under Jewish influence:  is this not a figuring forth of the fear that the Jews, as an Other living in the midst of Christendom, pose the threat of boundaries between faiths breaking down in the same way sexual boundaries break down?<p>
 Wed Dec  6 20:57:53 1995<BR>From: David Sasson. Dsasson\@haverford.edu <BR> I enjoyed the article and am extremely interested in the precise correlation <BR>between Judaism and "heresy" which the author draws throughout his memoirs. I<BR>myself have been researching the symbiotic development of these two notions<BR>in Christian theology, but have focused on the thirteenth century rather than<BR>earlier periods. In this regard, I found your suggestion that heretical Christians<BR>were not seen as Jewish, even if they adopted the latter's practices. Was this an attempt<BR>to prevent conversion to Judaism (by branding converts 'heretics' rather than<BR>Jews)?<BR> 			The physicality of the polemic also struck me as an important feature, and I wondered <BR>if the author used such descriptions in conjunction with larger theological claims. Does <BR>Judaism remain 'carnal' as a people or is this theme transposed onto the larger context of <BR>Judaism as 'carnal'/'literal' readers of Scripture?    <p>

 Thu Jan 11 02:46:46 1996<BR>From: P. Horn hornp\@teams.k14.ojgse.edu <BR> <BR>	I am a high school student who is trying to prove a thesis on the seven deadly sins.  Medieval Christian society adopted the seven deadly sins to prove that man is a sinner and abandoned the ten comandments because they did not meet these expectations.  That is my thesis.  Part of my thesis entails that human nature is to sin; please expand more on your quote by Guibert around 22-23.  If you have any info. that would be helpful to me, ie: books to read, magazines, web sites, please let me know.  Thank you, P. Horn.
