Abstract

There is growing interest in understanding the phenomenon of prayer and praying in the Hebrew Bible, Early Judaism, and nascent Christianity. This book brings together papers by leading scholars in these fields to revisit long-standing questions and chart new paths of inquiry into the nature, form, and practice of prayer in the ancient world. The essays in this volume deal with particular texts of and about prayer, practices of prayer, and figures and locations (both historical and literary) that are associated with prayer and praying. These studies draw on a range of methods and theoretical approaches, including form and text criticism, literary and narrative analysis, and anthropological and sociological analysis, or they apply particular theories of discourse, ethics, and moral agency to these ancient texts. Together, they offer fresh interpretations of addressing the divine in the literature of Early Judaism and Christianity --Back Cover.

Abstract

The Cross was present at the Eucharist in early Christianity as an idea, a gesture, and an object. Over time, these different actualizations of the quintessential symbol of Christianity have generated important questions about their meaning and function, among them: is the Eucharist a meal and/or a sacrifice? Can the sign of the Cross illuminate the absence of a Roman epiclesis? Is it pertinent -historically and theologically - to use an altar Cross? In this study, Daniel Cardó explores the relation between the Cross and the Eucharist. Offering a thorough and fresh reading of patristic and Roman liturgical texts, he identifies their emphases and common themes on the Cross and the Eucharist, and demonstrates their significance for the liturgical debates of recent decades.

Abstract

Sacrifice is a well known form of ritual in many world religions. Although the actual practice of animal sacrifice was largely abolished in the later history of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, it is still recalled through biblical stories, the ritual calendar and community events. The essays in this volume discuss the various positions regarding the value of sacrifice in a wide variety of disciplines such as history, archaeology, literature, philosophy, art and gender and post-colonial studies. In this context they examine a wide array of questions pertaining to the 'actuality of sacrifice' in various social, historical and intellectual contexts ranging from the pre-historical to the post-Holocaust, and present new understandings of some of the most sensitive topics of our time.

Abstract

This book presents a significant repudiation of the traditional eschatological doctrines, both Catholic and Protestant, based on the key idea that human death, as a dying into the death of Christ, is to be construed positively as a salvific event that confers the plenitude of life to the human. Offering helpful critiques of selected contemporary theologians, Novello explores how the proposed theology of death has liturgical and pastoral implications for Christian faith and praxis.

Abstract

‘Het voelt zo verkeerd dat de dader over enkele jaren vrij zal rondlopen, terwijl ik altijd de gevolgen zal blijven dragen. Ik kreeg levenslang, niet hij.’ Slachtoffers van misdrijven voelen zich vaak mis begrepen, in de kou gezet, aan hun lot overgelaten. Ze hebben soms de indruk dat justitie er vooral voor de dader is, en niet voor het slachtoffer. Dat er wel recht is, maar geen gerechtigheid. Slachtoffers willen gehoord en vooral begrepen worden. In dit boek doen ze hun verhaal: nabestaanden van een moord, een slachtoffer van een gewapende overval, een vrouw die jarenlang door haar partner werd mishandeld, een werknemer die ten onrechte van een diefstal werd beschuldigd, het slachtoffer van een ‘banale’ vechtpartij.

Abstract

The Council Directive of 21 April 2004 on takeover bids sets forth the general principles applicable to takeover bids and clarifies certain minimum rules with respect to the procedure for a takeover bid, the obligation to make a mandatory bid in the event a minimum threshold is crossed and the majority shareholder's squeeze-out right as well as the minority shareholders' sell-out right. Furthermore, the Directive defines the authority which is competent to approve offer documents and supervise takeover bids, and provides for optional restrictions on the actions of the target company's management and on defence mechanisms. This book discusses the Takeover Directive and its implementing rules in each Member State of the European Union and the European Economic Area, providing companies and their advisors with useful insight into the legal framework and principles applicable to takeover bids in the region.

Abstract

This volume systematically investigates the role of argumentation in takeover bids. The announcement of these financial proposals triggers an argumentative situation, in which both the economic desirability and the social acceptability of the deal become argumentative issues for different classes of stakeholders (shareholders, employees, customers, etc.). The study focuses on the strategic maneuvers that corporate directors deploy in order to persuade their audiences while complying with precise regulatory requirements, designed to allow shareholders to make reasonable decisions.
