Abstract

Although consistently overlooked or dismissed, John 8.6, 8 in the Pericope Adulterae is the only place in canonical or non-canonical Jesus tradition that portrays Jesus as writing. After establishing that John 8.6, 8 is indeed a claim that Jesus could write, this book offers a new interpretation and transmission history of the Pericope Adulterae . Not only did the pericope’s interpolator place the story in John’s Gospel in order to highlight the claim that Jesus could write, but he did so at John 7.53–8.11 as a result of carefully reading the Johannine narrative. The final chapter of the book proposes a plausible socio-historical context for the insertion of the story.

Abstract

THE MIND OF JESUS! What a study is this! To attain a dim reflection of it, is the ambition of angels - higher they can not soar. ""To be conformed to the image of His Son!"" - it is the end of God in the predestination of His Church from all eternity. ""We shall be like Him!"" - it is the Bible picture of heaven! But how lofty such a standard! How all creature-perfection shrinks abashed and confounded before a Divine portraiture like this! He is the true ""Angel...

Abstract

Dans l’argumentaire des « justificatifs » de l’esclavage et de la traite des Noirs, la principale raison invoquée était d’ordre religieux : sauver des âmes. Mais en Amérique, le travail pastoral auprès des Noirs était-il mené à bien ? Et avec quels résultats ? Cette étude présente le processus d’évangélisation des populations noires dans l’Audience du Nouveau Royaume de Grenade (actuelle Colombie) au XVIIe siècle, et l’accueil que celles-ci réservèrent à la nouvelle religion. L’auteur retrace le rôle de la Couronne espagnole dans l’implantation de l’Église en Amérique et plus particulièrement en Nouvelle Grenade, ainsi que la situation du clergé (installation, charges, déficiences). Une étude originale des créations et désagrégations de paroisses met en exergue les obstacles rencontrés dans le travail d’évangélisation réalisé auprès des Noirs dans les différents évêchés au XVIIe siècle. Les Jésuites jouèrent un rôle primordial dans cette évangélisation ; leur action et leur méthode sont donc exposées, en particulier celle d’Alonso de Sandoval et de Pierre Claver qui se distinguèrent dans ce ministère. Pour appréhender le rapport des Noirs avec la religion, l’auteur recense les moyens utilisés par l’Église pour obtenir, conserver ou accentuer la dévotion des fidèles, ainsi que les différents moyens de contrôle destinés à éviter les déviances reprochées aux Noirs (beuveries, transes, blasphème, sorcellerie...). Un bref aperçu des religions d’Afrique permet de déceler quelques croyances ancestrales dans la religion des Afro-américains - même officiellement convertis-, survivances qui peuvent être aussi considérées comme actes de résistance à la christianisation et à l’acculturation. Se gardant de tout préconçu idéologique ou de tout manichéisme et se fondant exclusivement sur les documents replacés dans le contexte de leur époque, cette étude apporte incontestablement un regard nouveau sur la condition spirituelle des Noirs au XVIIe siècle.

Abstract

Este libro constituye un aporte importante al estudio del encuentro entre el pensamiento aristotélico y los intelectuales chinos del siglo XVII. El tema del alma es el hilo conductor que guía una parte importante de la historia del pensamiento de la temprana edad moderna europea y el imperio chino tardío de la dinastía Ming. La contextualización histórica permite entender las razones subyacentes al mismo proceso de la adaptación, y ver, en este caso, ¿por qué se traduce la antropología tomista al chino? Esta obra contiene la traducción del "Lingyan lishao" propuesta por la autora, la cual es per se un documento histórico muy valioso.

Abstract

Over fifty years after the Holocaust, Marion Wyse explores interfaith dialogue between the Jewish and Christian communities and attempts to evaluate what goals these communities have reached and where they now stand. While many painful issues have been addressed and Jews and Christians in dialogue have achieved a solid respect for each other, the basic disagreement over the Christian designation of Jesus as the Jewish messiah still stands. Theologians have suggested varying approaches but none convince both parties. This work employs William James' radical empirical method to show that the original Jewish messianic concept, the Christian shift, and the Jewish repudiation of the shift, can each be seen as valid faith variants.

Abstract

The centre of gravity of contemporary Christianity has shifted to the southern hemisphere where, with the exception of Latin America, almost all Christians are minorities in their home countries. Christians in Asia live amongst Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Shamanist or Taoist majorities and this context shapes the local Christian theology. The same is true in Africa where traditional religions and beliefs influence African Christians. Central to this change in both Africa and Asia is the creation of a new Jesus, one who accretes local beliefs and concerns and who, in that process, is transformed. The Non-Western Jesus reveals how a new theology - with its own images and concepts - is coming into being. A wide range of embodiments of Jesus is examined: Jesus as Avatara and Guru in the Indian context; as Bodhisattva in the Buddhist context; and Jesus within Asian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, African and Indonesian religious contexts.

Abstract

The book of Acts contains a strong geographical component. Yet readings of Acts typically ignore or marginalise geography's contribution to the construction of the narrative's theology. In this book Matthew Sleeman argues that Jesus' ascension into heaven is foundational for establishing the 'spatiality' of Acts, showing that the narrative's understanding of place and space is shaped decisively by Christ's heavenly location. Drawing on recent advances in geographical theory, Sleeman offers a 'spatial' interpretation that expands our vision of how space and place inform the theological impulses of Acts. Presenting a complement to conventional 'temporal' readings of Acts, he sheds new light on the theology of the book, and suggests new ways of reading not only Acts but also other New Testament texts. Sleeman's work combines innovative biblical scholarship with accessible and informative geographical analysis, and is suitable for those with research and teaching interests in human geography or biblical studies.

Abstract

What, if anything, does Jesus of Nazareth have to do with philosophy? This question motivates this collection of essays from leading theologians, philosophers, and biblical scholars. Part I portrays Jesus in his first-century intellectual and historical context, attending to intellectual influences and contributions and contemporaneous similar patterns of thought. Part II examines how Jesus influenced two of the most prominent medieval philosophers. It considers the seeming conceptual shift from Hebraic categories of thought to distinctively Greco-Roman ones in later Christian philosophers. Part III considers the significance of Jesus for some prominent contemporary philosophical topics, including epistemology and the meaning of life. The focus is not so much on how 'Christianity' figures in such topics as on how Jesus makes distinctive contributions to them.

Abstract

This book argues that the uniquely dynamic and propulsive character of Western Civilization, for better and worse, has been generated by a creative argument between the Socratic Greek rationalist tradition and the Judeo?Christian tradition best personified by Jesus.
