Abstract

Early American Methodists commonly described their religious lives as great wars with sin and claimed they wrestled with God and Satan who assaulted them in terrible ways. Carefully examining a range of sources, including sermons, letters, autobiographies, journals, and hymns, Jeffrey Williams explores this violent aspect of American religious life and thought. Williams exposes Methodism's insistence that warfare was an inevitable part of Christian life and necessary for any person who sought God's redemption. He reveals a complex relationship between religion and violence, showing how violent expression helped to provide context and meaning to Methodist thought and practice, even as Methodist religious life was shaped by both peaceful and violent social action.

Abstract

This volume contains essays on an array of topics originally presented orally by a master teacher and scholar. With characteristic rhetorical elegance, Msgr. Synan, late professor at the Pontifical Institute in Toronto, delivered these papers in a variety of settings on issues relating to his specialty of mediaeval Christian philosophy and to his interest in Jewish-Christian dialogue, on the theology of sanctity and of death, and on morally significant historical events. Medieval figures represented here include Aquinas, Augustine, Abelard, and Godfrey of St. Victor; some topics treated are war and peace, philosophical innovations, ecclesiology, evil, goliardic verse, law and abortion, Church councils and Jews in the Middle Ages, and convictions uniting Jews and Christians. This book also contains representative sermons–including a Month’s Mind for Etienne Gilson, an introduction detailing Synan’s background and professional contributions, an updated bibliography of his published works, and an extensive index. Especially appealing to those who knew Synan are three posthumous tributes and thirteen photographs from throughout his life. The selections in this volume are scholarly but non-technical, intended for anyone moved to seek elucidation of the topics discussed.

Abstract

A l'initiative de l'Institut d'Etudes du Judaïsme, un colloque s'est tenu en septembre 2008 à l'Université libre de Bruxelles, consacré à la délicate position du judaïsme, coincé entre la théologie chrétienne originelle dite "de substitution" et celle musulmane, appelée "de falsification". La première affirmant qu'à Israël s'était substitué, comme "véritable Israël", le christianisme; la seconde prétendant que, quoique apparu plus tard, l'islam précédait le judaïsme, une religion dont les fidèles auraient eux-mêmes modifié leur textes sacrés afin d'y occulter les allusions supposées à la venue de Mohamed, le Prophète. Toujours grosse d'un lourd potentiel de conflit, elle continue à distiller sa menace, même si de nombreux chrétiens et de musulmans travaillent, aujourd'hui, à couvrir ces théologies d'éteignoirs aussi efficaces que possible. Les Actes abordent de front les difficiles questions que ces affirmations soulèvent, ceci dans des perspectives religieuses, sociales et politiques

Abstract

This book addresses the ongoing close relations between ordinary Christians and Jews on a daily basis at a time when church leaders were increasingly trying to establish boundaries between Christians and other religious groupings, especially Jews. Until recently, most historical studies of late antique Christian-Jewish relations had been primarily based on the writings of the church fathers.This new study makes use of a new type of source material: fourth to late sixth century council documents in which clear indications are given of the daily relationships between Christians and Jews. The texts from the eastern and western Mediterranean describe contacts between Christianity and Judaism at the level of ordinary people. These contacts remained close for a much longer period than the church leaders would have liked.
