Abstract

In this book, Paul Moser explores Jesus' role as God's filial inquirer and clarifies a method of inquiry regarding Jesus, one that offers a compelling explanation regarding his experiential impact and his audience's response. Moser's method values the roles of history and moral/religious experience in inquiry about him, and it saves inquirers from distorting biases in their inquiry. His study illuminates Jesus' puzzling features, including his challenging question for inquirers of him (Who do you say I am?), his distinctive experience of God as father, his reference to himself as 'the son of man', his attitude toward his suffering and death, his unique role in the kingdom of God, and his understanding of his allegedly miraculous signs and of his parables and good news. The book also makes sense of evidence for the reality and the main purpose of Jesus.

Abstract

Jesus changed our world forever. But who was he and what do we know about him? David Wenham's accessible volume is a concise and wide-ranging engagement with that enduring and elusive subject. Exploring the sources for Jesus and his scholarly reception, he surveys information from Roman, Jewish, and Christian texts, and also examines the origins of the gospels, as well as the evidence of Paul, who had access to the earliest oral traditions about Jesus. Wenham demonstrates that the Jesus of the New Testament makes sense within the first century CE context in which he lived and preached. He offers a contextualized portrait of Jesus and his teaching; his relationship with John the Baptist and the Qumran community (and the Dead Sea Scrolls); his ethics and the Sermon on the Mount, his successes and disappointments. Wenham also brings insights into Jesus' vision of the future and his understanding of his own death and calling.

Abstract

The Chalcedonian Definition of 451 never completely resolved one of the critical issues at the heart of Christianity: the unity of the 'person' of Christ. In this eagerly-awaited volume - the result of deep and sustained reflection - distinguished theologian Bruce Lindley McCormack examines the reasons for this philosophical and theological failure. His book serves as a critical history that traces modern attempts at resolution of this problem, from the nineteenth-century Lutheran emphasis on Kenoticism (or the 'self-emptying' of the Son in order to be receptive to the will of the Father) to post-Barthian efforts that evade the issue by collapsing the second person of the Trinity into the human Jesus - thereby rejecting altogether the logic of the classical 'two-natures' Christology. McCormack shows how New Testament Christologies both limit and authorize ontological reflection, and in so doing offers a distinctively Reformed version of Kenoticism. Proposing a new and bold divine ontology, with a convincing basis in Christology, he persuasively argues that the unity of the 'person' is in fact guaranteed by the Son's act of taking into his 'being' the lived existence of Jesus.

Abstract

Du jardin des Oliviers à la mise au tombeau, la Passion du Christ est un motif récurrent de l'art et la littérature. L'Église a joué un rôle essentiel dans la diffusion des œuvres promouvant l'imitation des souffrances du Christ comme voie du Salut. Mais indépendamment de sa valeur théologique, le récit des Évangiles possède une force dramatique et émotionnelle propre à toutes les transpositions, qu'elles soient fidèles au message chrétien, le transforment ou le subvertissent. 0Comment représenter le Christ souffrant et les personnages qui l'entourent ? Dans quel but ? Que devient la Passion alors que la société se sécularise ? Peut-on séparer la visée esthétique et la visée religieuse ? Les textes rassemblés dans ce volume répondent à ces questions à travers un vaste corpus d?œuvres, du Moyen-Âge au XXIe siècle, empruntées à différents domaines: littérature française et étrangère, théâtre, cinéma, peinture, musique.

Abstract

In 1239, king Louis IX of France performed the translation of the Crown of Thorns from Constantinople to Paris. The translation celebrations became a splendid religious festivity showing sacral foundations of Saint Louis’s authority and the Capetian kingship. However, the translation of the Crown of Thorns to France had already a history under Louis’s reign: French hagiographers and chroniclers affirmed that the first relics of the Crown of Thorns from Constantinople were transferred to Aachen by Charlemagne, then to Saint-Denis Abbey by Charles the Bald. The book discusses Saint Louis’s translation of the Crown of Thorns as seen on the background of both Carolingian historical memory in Capetian era and Carolingian and Capetian tradition of the royal cult of relics.

Abstract

Images of Miraculous Healing in the Early Modern Netherlands explores the ways in which paintings and prints of biblical miracles shaped viewers' approaches to physical and sensory impairments and bolstered their belief in supernatural healing and charitable behavior. Drawing upon a vast range of sources, Kaminska demonstrates that visual imagery held a central place in premodern disability discourses, and that the exegesis of New Testament miracle stories determined key attitudes toward the sick and the poor. Addressed to middle-class collectors, many of the images analyzed in this study have hitherto been neglected by art historians.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage est fondé sur la constitution d’une série iconographique de 230 scènes représentant la Nativité du Christ, peintes à fresque et sur retable dans les régions centrales de la péninsule italienne entre 1250 et 1450. Il montre que le principal moteur de transformation de l’iconographie de cette scène narrative réside dans le motif de l’adoration, la représentation d’une ou plusieurs figures agenouillées priant et adorant l’Enfant nouveau-né. L’enquête sur l’apparition et le développement de ce motif, dès le début du Trecento, permet de réviser la genèse de l’Adoration des bergers et de l’Adoration de l’Enfant, d’élucider le rapport de la Nativité à l’Adoration des mages ainsi qu’à la Nativité de Marie, et de préciser les apports de la peinture hagiographique, de saint François d’Assise et de sainte Brigitte de Suède notamment, aux principales transformations de la scène. L’ouvrage propose une histoire iconographique de la Nativité du Christ où le nombre sans cesse croissant d’adoratrices et d’adorateurs dans la scène (Marie, Joseph, les anges, les bergers, l’âne et le bœuf, éventuellement les commanditaires) se présente comme des intercesseurs de statut variable, des relais dans l’image pour la prière des fidèles devant elle. Ces scènes, dont l’iconographie est progressivement habitée par les gestes de la dévotion, s’avèrent des sources visuelles aussi complexes que riches pour la recherche historique. En partant du cas Nativité/adoration dans la peinture italienne entre XIIIe et XVe siècles, on accède plus largement à tout un pan des évolutions spirituelles, esthétiques et sociales dans le rapport dévotionnel aux images.
