...York recognizes adultery as the sole ground for divorce. The law thus encourages divorce-bound people to commit little white lies by establishing "residence" in states where the divorce laws are less rigid. Said Bronx Rabbi Maurice J. Bloom in a sermon last week: "It is not fair to the citizenry when only the rich can take dubious advantage of fictitious residence in another state for a brief time, and the less opulent are given an example of avoiding our laws by those who can afford it. If New York State had a proper marriage and divorce code, neither Governor...

...disturbances that took place in Jerusalem after Jesus' death, appear to be folk tales that were devised to impress the faithful with the magnitude of underlying events. Form criticism suggests that many sayings of Jesus were shaped by the Evangelists, although they reflect Christ's thoughts. The Sermon on the Mount, for example, is obviously a compilation of Christ's teachings drawn from many different sources.

As written, the part of Gaylord is too much sermon and too simple to offer a meaningful alternative to Gentry's glittering evil. Hoagland's acting accentuates this defect in the script; his morality has no teeth...

...Rambling Sermon. Compared with the chronological accounts of Jesus' life in Mark or Luke, The Gospel of Philip is not a Gospel at all, and deserves no place in the New Testament canon. In form it is a rambling, epigrammatic sermon or epistle on certain Christian teachings, interpreted from a Gnostic viewpoint. Composed about the middle of the 2nd century, the Gospel could not have been written by Philip the Apostle, who is recorded in John as one of the first disciples gathered by Jesus and as an onlooker at the miracle of the loaves and fishes.
