Are you flourishing in the life Jesus promised? Christians think of the cross as the instrument of their eternal salvation, not as the way to a beautiful life here and now..

Abstract

Lisa Maurice examines screen portrayals of gods-- covering Greco-Roman mythology, the Judeo-Christian God and Jesus - from the beginning of cinema to the present day. Focussing on the golden age of the Hollywood epic in the fifties and the twenty-first century second wave of big screen productions, she provides an over-arching picture that allows historical trends and developments to be demonstrated and contrasted. Engaging with recent scholarship on film, particularly film and theology as well as classical reception, she considers the presentation of these gods through examination of their physical and moral characteristics, as well as their interaction with the human world, against the background of the social contexts of each production.

Abstract

In this classic work, first published in 1994, Kelly Brown Douglas offers a compelling portrait of who Jesus is for the Black community. Beginning with the early testimonies of the enslaved, through the writings and thought of religious and literary figures, voices from the Civil Rights and Black Power era, including Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X, up through the contemporary work of Black and Womanist theologians, Douglas presents a living tradition that speaks powerfully to the message of our day: Black Lives Matter.

Abstract

This work considers the early development and reception of what is today the most widely professed Christian conception of Christ. The development of this doctrine admits of wide variations in expression and understanding, varying emphases in interpretation that are as striking in authors of the first millennium as they are among modern writers. The seven early ecumenical councils and their dogmatic formulations are crucial way-stations in defining the shape of this study. Brian E. Daley argues that the scope of previous enquiries, which focused on the declaration of the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451 that Christ was one Person in two natures, the Divine of the same substance as the Father, and the human of the same substance as us, now seems excessively narrow and distorts our understanding. Daley sets aside the Chalcedonian formula and instead considers what some major Church Fathers-from Irenaeus to John Damascene-say about the person of Christ.

Abstract

Is it possible to rethink the multilayered and polyvalent Christology of the Qur'ān against the intersecting of competing peripheral Christianities, anti-Jewish Christian polemics, and the making of a new Arab state in the 7th-century Near East? To what extent may this help us to decipher, moreover, the intricate redactional process of the quranic corpus? And can we unearth from any conclusions as to the tension between a messianic-oriented and a prophetic-guided religious thought buried in the document? By analysing, first, the typology and plausible date of the Jesus texts contained in the Qur'ān (which implies moving far beyond both the habitual chronology of the Qur'ān and the common thematic division of the passages in question) and by examining, in the second place, the Qur'ān's earliest Christology via-à-vis its later (and indeed much better known) Muhamadan kerygma, the present study answers these crucial questions and, thereby, sheds new light on the Qur'ān's original sectarian milieu and pre-canonical development.

Abstract

John's Gospel is best known for its presentation of Jesus as the Word of God made flesh. But as the narrative unfolds, readers discover that the identity of Jesus is surprisingly complex. He is depicted as a teacher, a healer, a prophet, and Messiah. He is Jewish and Galilean, a human being who is Son of Man and Son of God. Portraits of Jesus in the Gospel of John considers each of these roles in detail, showing how each makes a distinctive contribution to the Gospel's rich mosaic of images for Jesus. John's multifaceted portrait of Jesus draws on a broad spectrum of early Christian traditions, and the contributors to this collection of essays explore the ways in which these traditions are both preserved and transformed in the Fourth Gospel. The writers draw us more deeply into the questions of the way in which traditions about Jesus developed in the early church and how the Gospel of John might contribute to our understanding of that dynamic process.

Abstract

Jesus ist der einzig wahre König und als socher anzuerkennen. Davon wollen die drei Synoptiker ihre antike Leserschaft überzeugen - gut begründet. Sie legitmieren Jesus literarisch als König - bei gleichzeitiger Abgrenzung von potenziellen Konkurrenten. Bei aller Einigkeit im Grundplädoyer dominiert in jedem der drei synoptischen Evangelien eine spezifische Hautplegitimierungsstrategie (Markus: aretalogisch-charismatisch; Matthäus: genealogischdynastisch; Lukas: religiös-theokratisch). Die Synoptiker schalten sich in antike machtpolitische Diskurse ein und betreiben "Wahlkampf" für Jesus. Sie positionieren sich im antiken Herrschaftsuniversum mit seinen konkurrierenden personellen Optionen klar zugunsten ihres Favoriten Jesus and mischen damit im "Konzert" der "antiken Königsmacher" kräftig mit. --

Abstract

Through its missionary, pedagogical, and scientific accomplishments, the Society of Jesus-known as the Jesuits-became one of the first institutions with a truly "global" reach, in practice and intention. The Oxford Handbook of the Jesuits offers a critical assessment of the Order, helping to chart new directions for research at a time when there is renewed interest in Jesuit studies. In particular, the Handbook examines their resilient dynamism and innovative spirit, grounded in Catholic theology and Christian spirituality, but also profoundly rooted in society and cultural institutions. It also explores Jesuit contributions to education, the arts, politics, and theology, among others.The volume is organized in seven major sections, totaling forty articles, on the Order's foundation and administration, the theological underpinnings of its activities, the Jesuit involvement with secular culture, missiology, the Order's contributions to the arts and sciences, the suppression the Order endured in the 18th century, and finally, the restoration. The volume also looks at the way the Jesuit Order is changing, including becoming more non-European and ethnically diverse, with its members increasingly interested in engaging society in addition to traditional pastoral duties

Abstract

La personne de Jésus fascine et intrigue. Rien concernant Jésus ne semble relever de l'ordinaire : les conditions de sa naissance, de sa vie et de sa mort. Son identité reste un mystère pour de nombreux historiens. Ceci, au moment où le Coran, livre sacré de l'Islam, en fait un être exceptionnel. Il y est cité 35 fois, 27 fois par son nom et 8 fois comme le Messie. Quant à sa mère Marie, elle est citée plus souvent dans le Coran que dans l'ensemble du Nouveau Testament, soit 34 fois contre seulement 19 fois dans les Evangiles et les Actes des Apôtres. Jésus est qualifié par le Coran de Souffle de Dieu, d'Esprit de Dieu, de Sa Parole. Il le cite au nombre des plus proches et des intimes de Dieu. Par ailleurs, à part sa crucifixion et la question de sa divinité, le Coran conforte les chrétiens dans la plupart de leurs croyances concernant Jésus, affirmant que c'est un prophète, un messager de Dieu et c'est le Messie attendu par le peuple d'Israël. Il confirme sa naissance miraculeuse, les miracles qu'il a accomplis et son ascension. Ce sont ces réflexions que l'on trouve dans ce livre qui traite de l'histoire et du statut exceptionnels de Jésus et de la place de choix qui lui est réservée dans le Coran, en tant que grande figure biblique.
