Some sample entries:
ATONEMENT
Atonement is the reconciliation (or `at-one-ment') brought about between God and human beings, after the covenant relationship has been broken by human sins and disobedience. In Judaism reconciliation was achieved by the ritual and sacrifices of an annual Day of Atonement. Within Christianity it is argued that atonement is effected by the death of Christ on the cross.
SYNCRETISM
Syncretism refers to the fusion or blending together of religious traditions, in the attempt to reconcile different systems of belief. It is not necessarily a simplistic or accommodating approach which refuses to recognize the differences. It can be a creative attempt at fusion, for rational purposes of comparison, in teaching or apologetic. The work of Philo in presenting the traditions of Judaism in terms of Greek philosophy could be a good example, as is the parallel development and integration in early Christianity of the traditions of Hebraic, Palestinian, and Greek cultures. It has been said that syncretism is a beneficial term in religious studies, provided that it allows for tension and irony, which may lead to controversy, rather than simply the preservation of traditions. Plutarch analysed syncretism and offered an etymology of the term which was not intended seriously: from syn-Kretoi, because Cretans (Kretoi) would always be quarrelsome with each other, but when faced with an outside foe they would immediately band together (syn).
ZOAR
Zoar was one of the five cities of the plain (see Genesis 14.1-12); the others were Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim. Lot was allowed to flee to Zoar before Sodom was destroyed (see Genesis 19.18-23). It is also mentioned, with reference to the destruction of Moab, in Isaiah 15.5 and Jeremiah 48.34. But its exact location is unknown.
