Abstract

"The book follows a chronological, four-stage development of Balthasar's trinitarianism through the lens of the metaphor of "distance" as it occurs across representative texts. The critical analysis employs the conceit of a "symphony of four musical movements" that correspond to four varieties of theological distance, enabling readers to "hear the themes of all four movements" in the ascending order of richness, complexity, and inclusivity over the long development of his thought. This fundamentally positive approach to Balthasar's theology allows for a thorough critique of the internal consistency of his applied method, of the controversial use of gendered trinitarian notions in his speculations on divine pathos, and of his adequacy to the tasks of modern theology. The final judgment is that Balthasar's theology of distance can be accepted, with reservations, as a positive element of his contribution to contemporary trinitarian theology"--

Abstract

The nation-state of Trinidad and Tobago offers a unique case for the study of the forces and ideologies of nationalism. This book reveals how this ethnically diverse nation (40% African origin, 40-45% East Indian origin, plus those of Syrian, Chinese, Portuguese, French and English descent), independent for less than forty years, has provided fertile ground for the creative tension between the imagination of the writer in his or her search for a habitable text of identity and the official discourse on nationalism in Trinidad and Tobago. This discourse has in turn been embedded in a struggle that propels the nation's story. Following on from this background, the study examines the changes and influences on the sense of nationalism and peoplehood caused by migration and the ethnicization of migrant communities in the metropoles. Adding to the comparative tone of much of this book, models of nationalism and ethnicity, often based on other societies, are tested against the imaginings of Trinidad by such essayists as V S Naipaul, C L R James, Willi Chen, Valerie Belgrave and Earl Lovelace.

Abstract

Une des tâches les plus urgentes pour les chrétiens soucieux d'offrir à leur foi l'hommage d'une pensée qui en respecte le mystère et la spécificité consiste à en assumer, de manière renouvelée, la détermination centrale qui la qualifie comme monothéisme trinitaire. De la foi chrétienne, le mystère de la Trinité exprime l'audace conjointe quant à la vérité de Dieu et quant à la vérité de l'homme. Il en commande aussi les équilibres les plus délicats. L'urgence naît d'un double défi : celui qui vient du dialogue avec les grandes religions et de l'attrait grandissant des sagesses hénologiques et des (ré)enchantements polythéistes ; celui qui vient des évaluations critiques du rôle joué par le christianisme dans le champ de l'imaginaire et des institutions politiques en Occident. Le présent volume reprend les contributions de la session théologique organisée en 1990 aux Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis, dans le cadre de l'École des sciences philo­sophiques et religieuses. L'ensemble, composé d'approches multiples et de perspectives nova­trices, se veut une contribution à ce travail. On pourra y mesurer l'avancée et l'approfondissement de la perspective pneumatologique déjà opérante dans plusieurs sessions précédentes publiées dans la même collection.

Abstract

L’esprit des « Lumières » brille d’un éclat particulièrement vif en Prusse-Brandebourg sous le règne de Frédéric II (1740-1786). L’influence rationaliste se manifeste tout spécialement dans le débat théologique qui oppose les théologiens « éclairés » à l’orthodoxie luthérienne repliée depuis près de deux siècles sur ses « Livres symboliques » et la Formule de Concorde de 1580. Pour leur part, les néologues sont regroupés autour de la revue de Friedrich Nicolai, la Allgemeine deutsche Bibliothek (1765-1792), un monument encyclopédique de portée nationale, exerçant une influence incomparable sur un public nombreux, notamment dans le domaine théologique avec ses milliers de recensions d’ouvrages parus au cours de plus d’un quart de siècle. L’ouvrage permet de découvrir l’identité de ces théologiens « éclairés » dont les recensions sont cryptées pour respecter leur anonymat; il passe en revue les étapes du démantèlement de la dogmatique luthérienne (péché originel, révélation, trinité, la grâce, les œuvres) ; dépeint l’ébranlement des certitudes propres à la transmission historique d’un dogme originel aux fondements immuables ; évoque quelques controverses entre Kant et les néologues, entre Moses Mendelssohn et Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi ; aborde les affrontements internes entre protestants face à l’avancée du catholicisme. On n’échappe pas à cette réalité que la démolition doctrinale de l’orthodoxie luthérienne est l’œuvre des néologues luthériens et en aucune façon des réformés. Quant à la politique des Hohenzollern, souverains réformés, de confession ultra-minoritaire depuis la conversion de l’Electeur Sigismond en 1613, régnant sur un pays d’essence luthérienne à tradition provinciale et corporatiste, leur stratégie est restée foncièrement irénique. Evitant tout conflit doctrinal, exigeant la tolérance entre les deux confessions, c’est par des réformes liturgiques (simplification des rituels) et ecclésiales (faisant siéger des Hofprediger réformés dans les…

Abstract

This book presents a critical evaluation of the doctrine of the Trinity, tracing its development and investigating the intellectual, philosophical and theological background that shaped this influential doctrine of Christianity. Despite the centrality of Trinitarian thought to Christianity and its importance as one of the fundamental tenets that differentiates Christianity from Judaism and Islam, the doctrine is not fully formulated in the canon of Christian scriptural texts. Instead, it evolved through the conflation of selective pieces of scripture with the philosophical and religious ideas of ancient Hellenistic milieu. Marian Hillar analyzes the development of Trinitarian thought during the formative years of Christianity from its roots in ancient Greek philosophical concepts and religious thinking in the Mediterranean region. He identifies several important sources of Trinitarian thought heretofore largely ignored by scholars, including the Greek middle-Platonic philosophical writings of Numenius and Egyptian metaphysical writings and monuments representing divinity as a triune entity.

Abstract

Hegel's philosophical interpretation of Trinity as a dialectically developing movement of Spirit is one of the most profound readings of Trinity in Western thought. In Hegel's Trinitarian Claim, Dale M. Schlitt provides a careful, detailed presentation of this claim in Hegel's major published works and in his lectures on the philosophy of religion, taking a critical look at how Hegel presents his claim that to think of God as subject and person one must think of God as Trinity. Although agreeing with Hegel's conclusion, Schlitt argues on the basis of an immanent critique of Hegel's thought that Hegel is not able to defend that claim in the way in which he proposes to do so. Schlitt argues instead that Hegel's trinitarian claim can be justified when Spirit is no longer seen as a movement of thought but as a movement of enriching experience. This close analysis provides an excellent point of entry into the wider study and critical consideration of Hegel's systematic philosophical project as a whole. Originally published in 1984 and available now in paperback for the first time, this edition features a new preface and postscript.

Abstract

This beautifully illustrated volume features work by leading writers and experts on carnival from around the world, and includes two stunning photo essays by acclaimed photographers Pablo Delano and Jeffrey Chock. Editor Milla Cozart Riggio presents a body of work that takes the reader on a fascinating journey exploring the various aspects of carnival - its traditions, its history, its music, its politics - and prefaces each section with an illuminating essay. Traditional carnival theory, based mainly on the work of Mikhail Bakhtin and Victor Turner, has long defined carnival as inversive or subversive. The essays in this groundbreaking anthology collectively reverse that trend, offering a re-definition of 'carnival' that focuses not on the hierarchy it temporarily displaces or negates, but a one that is rooted in the actual festival event. Carnival details its new theory in terms of a carnival that is at once representative and distinctive: The Carnival of Trinidad - the most copied yet least studied major carnival in the world.

Abstract

An appropriate motto for Augustine's great work On the Trinity is 'faith in search of understanding'. In this treatise Augustine offers a part-theological, part-philosophical account of how God might be understood in analogy to the human mind. On the Trinity can be fairly described as the first modern philosophy of mind: it is the first work in philosophy to recognize the 'problem of other minds', and the first to offer the 'argument from analogy' as a response to that problem. Other subjects that it discusses include the nature of the mind and the nature of the body, the doctrine of 'illumination', and thinking as inner speech. This volume presents the philosophical section of the work, and in a historical and philosophical introduction Gareth Matthews places Augustine's arguments in context and assesses their influence on later thinkers.
