Ezra Stiles and the Jews: Selected Passages From His Literary Diary Concerning Jews and Judaism (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Ezra Stiles and the Jews: Selected Passages From His Literary Diary Concerning Jews and Judaism
The fact that Yale College, which celebrated its bicentennial at New Haven last week (Oct. 1901) with so much eclat, has on its corporate seal, in addition to a Latin inscription, one in Hebrew, is a significant as well as a curious circumstance.
"In the beginning of the foundation of this plantation and jurisdiction, upon a free debate with due and serious consideration, it was agreed, concluded and settled as a fundamental law, not to be disputed or questioned here after, that the judicial laws of God, as they were delivered by Moses and expounded in other parts of Scripture, so far as they are a fence to the moral law, being neither typical nor ceremonial, nor having a reference to Canaan, shall be accepted as of moral equity, and as God shall help, shall be a constant direction for all proceedings here and a general rule for all courts in this jurisdiction, how to judge between party and party and how to punish offenders, till the same be branched out into particulars hereafter."
This vigorous avowal of the binding force of Old Testament doctrine had much to do in shaping the destinies of the colony and university.
