"Les quatre œuvres attribuées à Bachiarius (IVe-Ve siècle) ont en commun une exégèse très originale et des expressions qu'on a voulu mettre en relation soit avec le priscillianisme, soit avec l'origénisme. Le 'De fide' est une profession de foi dans laquelle l'auteur se défend d'une accusation d'hérésie et expose ses idées sur la Trinité, l'encarnation, la virginité de Marie, la résurrection, l'âme humaine, le diable, les aliments, le mariage ou l'importance des deux Testaments. 'L'Epistula ad Ianuarium' est un traité sur le péché, la pénitence et la rédemption, divisée en deux parties: la première dirigée à Januarius, le supérieur d'une communauté ascétique, en faveur d'un frère qui a commis un péché grave en ayant des relations sexuelles avec une vierge consacrée; et la seconde, au pécheur lui-même, qui, après avoir été expulsé de la communeauté, doit s'efforcer d'éviter le désespoir et de se faire pardonner au moyen de la pénitence. Les deux autres lettres qu'on attribue à Bachiarius présentent un style et une exégèse similaires: la première est dirigée à une vénérable sœur pleine de sagesse; la seconde, à une femme mariée qui souhaite se consacrer dans la solitude à des pratiques ascétiques pendant les trois semaines qui précèdent l'Épiphanie."--

"Collaborative Practical Theology documents and analyses research on Christian practices conducted by academic practical theologians in collaboration with practitioners of different kinds in Christian practices all around the world. These practitioners include professional practitioners, everyday believers, volunteers and students in theological education. The book offers rationales for setting up joint investigation groups with different 'communities of practice', describes a wide range of collaborative research strategies and methods and also has a clear eye for their limitations. In Christian practices faith is mediated, enacted and nurtured. The aim of the book is to improve the utility of theological research on these practices. It communicates the vision that academic research is for the people of God in today's world".

This Element has two aims. The first is to discuss arguments philosophers have made about the difference God's existence might make to questions of general interest in metaethics. The second is to argue that it is a mistake to think we can get very far in answering these questions by assuming a thin conception of God, and to suggest that exploring the implications of thick theisms for metaethics would be more fruitful.

How does one lead a life of law, love, and freedom? This inquiry has very deep roots in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Indeed, the divergent answers to this inquiry mark the transition from Judeo to Christian. This book returns to those roots to trace the twists and turns that these ideas have taken as they move from the sacred to the secular. It relates our most important mode of social organization, law, to two of our most cherished values, love and freedom. In this book, Joshua Neoh sketches the moral vision that underlies our modern legal order and traces our secular legal ideas (constitutionalism versus anarchism) to their theological origins (monasticism versus antinomianism). Law, Love, and Freedom brings together a diverse cast of characters, including Paul and Luther, Augustine and Aquinas, monks and Gnostics, and constitutionalists and anarchists. This book is valuable to any lawyers, philosophers, theologians and historians, who are interested in law as a humanistic discipline.

This innovative volume focuses on the significance of early Christianity for modern means of addressing poverty, by offering a rigorous study of deprivation and its alleviation in both earliest Christianity and today's world. The contributors seek to present the complex ways in which early Christian ideas and practices relate to modern ideas and practices, and vice versa. In this light, the book covers seven major areas of poverty and its causes, benefaction, patronage, donation, wealth and dehumanization, `the undeserving poor', and responsibility. Each area features an expert in early Christianity in its Jewish and Graeco-Roman settings, paired with an expert in modern strategies for addressing poverty and benefaction; each author engages with the same topic from their respective area of expertise, and responds to their partner's essay. Giving careful attention toboth the continuities and discontinuities between the ancient world and today, the contributors seek to inform and engage church leaders, those working in NGOs concerned with poverty, and all interested in these crucial issues, both Christian and not.
