Abstract

Deze correspondentie is een pittig steekspel tussen de kerkvader Augustinus en een zekere Secundinus, een manicheeër. Augustinus analyseert en beredeneert de verschilpunten tussen het manicheïsme en het katholieke geloof. Tegelijkertijd rekent hij met zijn manicheïsche verleden af. Het antwoord aan Secundinus is naar zijn mening het beste dat hij ooit tegen deze 'pest' geschreven heeft.

Abstract

While he is more commonly known for his Trinitiarian works and theology, this study assesses mid-fourth-century bishop Hilary of Poitiers' view of the human condition. Isabella Image shows that the Commentary on Psalm 118 is more closely related to Origen's than previously thought. Image explains how his articulations of sin, body and soul, the Fall and the will all parallel or echo Origen's views in this work, but not necessarily in his Matthew Commentary. Hilary has a doctrine of original sin ('sins of our origin', peccata originis), which differs from the individual personal sins and for which we are individually accountable. He also articulates a fallen will which is in thrall to disobedience and needs God's help, something God always gives as long as we show the initiative. Hilary's idea of the fallen will may have developed in tangent with Origen's thought, which uses Stoic ideas on the process of human action in order to articulate the constraints on purely rational responses. Hilary in turn influences Augustine, who writes against the Pelagian bishop Julian of Eclanum citing Hilary as an example of an earlier writer with original sin. Since Hilary is known to have used Origen's work, and Augustine is known to have used Hilary's, Hilary appears to be one of the stepping-stones between these two great giants of the early church as the doctrines of original sin and the fallen will developed.

Abstract

The volume highlights important aspects of ancient (especially Christian) Latin literature and its influence in the Middle Ages and beyond.The papers collected in this Festschrift in honour of Rita Beyers, Professor Emerita of Latin at the University of Antwerp and Director of the Corpus Christianorum, Series Latina and Continuatio Mediaevalis, focus on ancient (especially Christian) Latin literature and its influence in the Middle Ages and beyond.In the first section, new light is shed on some important apocryphal texts from the second to the tenth century. The second part is devoted to literary and doctrinal aspects of works produced in the patristic era. The third part brings together a number of micro-historical studies on medieval (Latin, Byzantine, and vernacular) literature. The papers of the fourth section present some little-known Neo-Latin texts and offer a fresh analysis of the reception of ancient Christian texts in modern French and English literature. The volume, which contains several critical editions of previously unedited texts, concludes with two essays musing on the art of textual editing and the quintessence of philology.

Abstract

"Interrogé par un groupe d'amis sur la nature et les pouvoirs de l'âme, Cassiodore (v. 490 - v. 587), qui fut un temps haut fonctionnaire palatin au service du roi ostrogoth Théodoric le Grand et de ses successeurs, rédigea De l'âme vers 538. Récemment converti, il prend parti sur la question de l'âme, un des lieux de controverse entre philosophie païenne et réflexion chrétienne. En dix-huit chapitres se concluant par une prière, il affirme ainsi sa foi neuve tout en réassumant sa culture classique. Il s'attache à faire apparaître l'âme comme l'instrument et le milieu qui permettent à l'homme d'abord de parvenir à sa propre connaissance et à celle du monde, révélateurs l'un et l'autre de la puissance et de la bonté de Dieu, puis de se préparer à atteindre la condition béatifi que. À partir d'emprunts aussi bien sacrés que profanes, auxquels les citations scripturaires servent de ciment, Cassiodore s'inscrit dans la tradition latine des traités sur l'âme initiée par Tertullien, et compose une oeuvre appelée à connaître une immense postérité."--

Abstract

"Lorsqu’il révise des textes bibliques grecs et qu’ensuite, soucieux de revenir à la vérité hébraïque dans le sillage d’Origène, il traduit directement de l’hébreu au latin des livres de l’Ancien Testament, Jérôme accompagne ses travaux de Préfaces, au nombre desquelles le célèbre prologus galeatus. Ces textes généralement brefs, ainsi que quelques préfaces qui ne sont pas de Jérôme, ont été transmis tout au long du Moyen Âge dans les manuscrits bibliques ; ils figurent encore dans la Bible latine établie au Concile de Trente (1546), celle que l’on appellera désormais Vulgate. Sont donc ici réunis des textes fondamentaux pour comprendre le travail du moine de Bethléem (env. 386-406), et plus largement l’histoire de la Bible latine. Abondamment annotés, ils sont introduits par une riche synthèse des connaissances actuelles sur les versions latines des Écritures. Le lecteur disposera ainsi d’un outil de travail précieux pour mieux appréhender les textes que lisaient et commentaient les Pères de l’Église d’Occident – un outil susceptible de rendre au latin la place qui lui revient dans les études bibliques.

Abstract

This book examines how the increasing authority of institutionalized churches changed late antique urban environments. Aquileia, the third largest city in Italy during late antiquity, presents a case study in the transformation of elite Roman practices in relation to the urban environment. Through the archaeological remains, the sermons of the city's bishop, Chromatius, and the artwork and epigraphic evidence in the sacred buildings, the city and its inhabitants leave insights into a reshaping of the urban environment and its institutions which occurred at the beginning of the 5th century. The words of the bishop attacking heretics and Jews presaged a shift in patronage by rich donors from the city as a whole to only the Christian church. The city, both as an ideal and a physical reality, changed with the growing dominance of the Church, creating a Christian city.

Abstract

Augustine's dominant image for the human life is peregrinatio, which signifies at once a journey to the homeland (a pilgrimage) and the condition of exile from the homeland. For Augustine, all human beings are, in the earthly life, exiles from their true homeland: heaven. Some, but not all, become pilgrims seeking a way back to the heavenly homeland, a return mediated by the incarnate Christ. Becoming a pilgrim begins with attraction to beauty. The return journey therefore involves formation, both moral and aesthetic, in loving rightly. This image has occasioned a lot of angst in ethical thought in the last century. Augustine's vision of Christian life as a pilgrimage, his critics allege, casts a pall of groaning and longing over this life in favor of happiness in the next. Augustine's eschatological orientation robs the world of beauty and ethics of urgency. In this book, Sarah Stewart-Kroeker responds to Augustine's critics by elaborating the Christological continuity between the earthly journey and the eschatological home. Through this cohesive account of pilgrimage as a journey toward the right ordering of the desire for beauty and love for God and neighbour, Stewart-Kroeker reveals the integrity of Augustine's vision of moral and aesthetic vision. From the human desire for beauty to the embodied practice of Christian sacraments, Stewart-Kroeker develops an account of the relationship between beauty and morality as the linchpin of an Augustinian moral theology.--

Abstract

Actes d'une rencontre qui s'est tenue à Lyon dans le cadre du Colloque "Irénée entre Bible et hellénisme" (29.VI-2.VII 2014). Entre la littérature chrétienne de la première moitié du deuxième siècle de notre ère et l’oeuvre d’Irénée (dernier quart du deuxième siècle), un phénomène important intervient : l’apparition des livres du Nouveau Testament considérés en tant que tels et comme références de citations précises. En même temps, ces documents s’associent aux principaux corpus – loi, prophètes, écrits sapientiaux et historiques – de la Bible juive pour commencer à constituer ce qui deviendra la Bible chrétienne. Les chercheurs ayant contribué à ce volume réunissant une partie des apports du colloque Irénée entre Bible et hellénisme, qui s’est tenu à Lyon fin juin 2014, se sont penchés sur ce phénomène, en même temps qu’ils s’interrogeaient sur la réception et l’interprétation propres à Irénée de livres et de passages précis du corpus biblique en formation. Enfin, plusieurs contributions étudient la nature du texte biblique cité par Irénée, sur la base d’une étude fréquentielle globale due à L. Mellerin (Biblindex). Le recueil est complété par des index.
