Abstract

Iconoclasm is a major topic in the history of the Byzantine Empire; its imposition was a traumatic event, with results lasting over a hundred years. The documents included in this volume, arising from the controversy surrounding the lifting of the ban on icons (sacred images), are of major significance, but until the publication of this book no English translation of the conciliar texts, in their entirety, had been available to scholars working in a field who do not easily read eighth-century Byzantine Greek. Along with an introduction to the history of the controversy and the theology of the icons, Daniel J. Sahas presents a translation of conciliar texts on the icon debate: the Sixth Session of the iconophile Council of Nicea (787), in which the Definition of the iconoclastic Council of Constantinople (754) was read and refuted, point by point, and the Definition of the Council of Nicea (which became the Seventh Ecumenical Council of the Christian Church). The translation is carefully annotated to make the texts as useful as possible to their many modern audiences: scholars and students of medieval history, church history, Christian doctrine and thought, Byzantine studies, Eastern Christianity, and the history of art.

Abstract

This volume contributes to the study of the identity of Jesus, focusing on how he was originally perceived both by his contemporaries and in the earliest Christian writings. The essays include studies of methodology, archaeology, background, individual gospel perspectives, gospel relationships, intertextuality in the gospels, the earliest reception of the Jesus tradition in the post-Easter writings of the New Testament, and the missiological and pedagogical implications of Jesus' teaching. John Nolland is the reason for this volume, and his important writings on the gospels are its backdrop. -- ‡c From back cover.

Abstract

Par-delà l’accumulation des siècles et des doctrines, Jésus de Nazareth peut-il être notre contemporain ? Comment s’y retrouver parmi les divers portraits du Jésus de l’histoire ? Y a-t-il un gouffre entre le Christ de Paul, le Jésus des synoptiques et le Christ des conciles ? Comment se fait-il que les avancées conciliaires au sujet du Christ aient entraîné la division des Églises ? Est-il acceptable que la tunique du Christ demeure déchirée, alors que les déclarations communes professent la même foi au Christ ? À travers ces questions graves, cette christologie brève et actuelle propose des discernements et ouvre un chemin novateur. Elle est attentive non seulement aux concepts, mais aussi aux martyrs, aux pratiques et aux dialogues. L’Incarnation, la Croix et la Gloire sont réinvesties par la pensée, à l’aide d’expériences structurantes pour nos contemporains : l’indignation, l’empathie et la compassion, l’affrontement à l’impardonnable, la disparition du Ressuscité, etc. Un maître ouvrage !

Abstract

Back cover: Jonathon Lookadoo studies the high priestly and temple metaphors in Ignatius's letters and shows how Ignatius depicts Jesus and the church. He shows that Jesus functions as an intermediary between God the Father and the churches, which should be unified as God's temple.

Abstract

The Ethiopian Orthodox Church's Tradition on the Holy Cross' is a volume that combines both ancient and derived Ethiopic literature on the Cross. The work brings together all the major sources from manuscripts preserved in different monasteries and edited and translated into English. The sources include homilies by Minas bishop of Aksum, John Chrysostom, James of Sarug, as well as a number of anonymous authors, all translated from Greek during the Aksumite era. The derived literature includes works by the famous men of the pen, including the fifteenth-century 'Abba' Giyorgis of Sägla and Emperor Zär'a Ya'eqob. Poetic hymns to the Cross constitute a part of the collection, one of these being glorification of the Cross by 'Abba' Bahrey, author of several important works.

Abstract

Back cover: Was the footwashing in Jn 13:1-20 simply an act of service or humility? Bincy Mathew provides a critical and thorough exegetical analysis of the footwashing and shows that it is the symbolic prefiguration of Jesus' death on the cross enacted during the last supper to manifest his perfect love for his own.

Abstract

The Eucharist is at the heart of Christian worship and at the heart of the Eucharist are the curious phrases, 'This is my body' and 'This is my blood'. James M. Arcadi offers a constructive proposal for understanding Christ's presence in the Eucharist that draws on contemporary conceptual resources and is faithful to the history of interpretation. He locates his proposal along a spectrum of Eucharistic theories. Arcadi explores the motif of God's presence related to divine omnipresence and special presence in holy places, which undergirds a biblical-theological proposal concerning Christ's presence. Utilizing recent work in speech-act theory, Arcadi probes the acts of consecration and renaming in their biblical and liturgical contexts. A thorough examination of recent work in Christology leads to an action model of the Incarnation that borrows the notion of enabling externalism from philosophy of mind. These threads undergird a model of Christ's presence in the Eucharist.
