Word of the Day - 8/15/2008

Exoteric

Exoteric means suitable for or communicated to the general public.

Jewish leaders struggled with whether or not the Book of Ezekiel was exoteric material. The book was deemed so racy that at one time those under the age of 30 were not allowed to read the first chapter!

Note: This painting ("The Vision of Ezekiel") was painted by Raphael in 1518.
