Annual Lecture in Honor of Richard J. Clifford, S.J.
March 16, 2023
Presenter:听 Andrew R. Davis
The presentation discusses in detail the sometimes overlooked contribution of the Old Testament to a Christian understanding of mercy. Hebrew is not the only ancient language to link mercy to a specific body part ("guts" in Greek and "heart" in Latin), but its connection between "mercy" (ra岣mim) and "womb" (re岣m) offers a unique perspective on the gift of mercy we receive from God and are called to share with others.
