Abstract

In the past two centuries hundreds of apparitions of the Virgin Mary have been reported, drawing crowds to the seers and the sites and constituting events of great religious significance for millions of people worldwide. Here Sandra Zimdars-Swartz provides a detective-like investigation of the experiences and interpretations of six major apparitions, including those at La Salette and Lourdes in France during the mid-nineteenth century; at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917; and the more recent ones at San Damiano, Italy; Garabandal, Spain; and Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, where the apparitions continue. Adopting a phenomenological approach to these "encounters with Mary"--one that is neither apologetic nor antagonistic--the author explores the tension between the personal meaning of the events for their subjects and the public appropriation of this meaning by a larger religious community. Along the way she examines the backgrounds of the seers, their willingness or reluctance to talk about the apparitions and their messages, the amount of emotional support they received from family and community as news of the apparitions spread, the reports of miracles at apparition sites, the reactions of local authorities, and the steps taken by the Roman Catholic Church in officially recognizing or rejecting the apparitions as worthy of belief. The author concludes with a survey of religious worldviews based on Marian apparitions, focusing especially on the now-popular transcultural apocalyptic nature of these messages to the modern world.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Abstract

The book reflects academically on important and relevant ethical fields from a multidimensional South African context. The book challenges conventional borders from different ethical, theological, philosophical, economic and cultural perspectives with insight and expertise and seeks to add academic-ethical value, locally and globally, with its different points of departure deeply embedded in justice. From a mainly qualitative methodological perspective, this scholarly book demonstrates that ethics requires analytical thinking and critical people who, in an existentially and emancipatory way, can help make the world a more just, decent and humane place in which to live. The authors, who represent different academic and cultural backgrounds, present in their respective chapters their research systematically, intersectionally and constructivistically, based on profound theoretical analysis and reasoning. This epistemology results in an act of knowing that actively gives meaning and order to the reality to which it is responding. By doing this, they point out that people are in an ongoing process of becoming more human – allowing ourselves and our fellow human beings to flourish and to reach fuller potential through justice-based ethical reflection and action.

Abstract

"One of the distinctive features of the Fourth Gospel is the emphasis it places on the "name" of God. As the earliest Christian texts already exhibit a shift toward Jesus's name as the cultic or divine name, what might have motivated the Evangelist to this recovery of the divine name category? Joshua J. F. Coutts argues that the divine name acquired particular significance through the Evangelist's reading of Isaiah, which, in combination with the polemical experience and pastoral needs of early Christians, formed the impetus for his interest in and emphasis on the divine name." --

Abstract

Wie ist das Verhältnis zwischen dem unübertroffenen, weltversöhnenden »Christus« aus Kol 1,15–20 und dem eingesperrten »Paulus« aus 1,24–29?

Abstract

Jiří Dvořáček untersucht in dieser Studie den Titel »Davidsohn« im Matthäusevangelium. Das matthäische Bild des heilenden Davidsohnes muss seiner Meinung nach auf dem Hintergrund der zeitgenössischen jüdischen Traditionen verstanden werden, insbesondere im Kontext der Salomo-als-Exorzist-Tradition.

Abstract

In dit kinder-kunstboek laat Toon Hermans ons op meeslepende wijze met Jezus kennismaken. Het is een Jezus zoals we die nog niet kennen. &#13;Toon Hermans vertelt op zijn onnavolgbare manier het levensverhaal van Jezus en toont hem als onbezorgd kind maar ook als eigenzinnige puber. Op schilderijen, in films en in boeken wordt Jezus vrijwel altijd afgebeeld als de bezorgde, peinzende man, zichtbaar lijdend onder de enorme druk die op zijn schouders rust. In de bijbel wordt weinig gelachen en ook het levensverhaal van Jezus kent weinig vrolijke momenten. Hermans verbaast zich hierover en vertelt hoe hij, van kind af aan, tegen Jezus aankeek. Hij vraagt zich af of Jezus echt de immer ernstige man met die gepijnigde blik was of dat er af en toe momenten van plezier in zijn leven waren. &#13;Jezus is jarig is voor een jong publiek de ideale manier om via kunst kennis te maken met het leven van Jezus en met de manier waarop dit leven door kunstenaars is verbeeld.&#13;&#13;
