"This volume explores the work of Anselm of Canterbury, theologian and archbishop, in light of the communities in which he participated. Featuring thirteen essays from leading historians, theologians, and literary scholars, the collection ranges from Anselm's immediate contemporaries to the reception of his work, and formation of his posthumous reputation, by later medieval readers. Individual essays consider the role of friendships in his career, his relations with students, correspondence with women, interventions in the political sphere, and influence as leader of the monastic communities at Bec and Canterbury. Together, these essays present a new profile of the archbishop, revealing an individual whose work emerged from a vibrant culture of debate, criticism, and collaboration"--

New Materialism and Theology reflects on questions of human embodiment, nonhuman agency, technological innovation, and what really matters now and in possible futures. Bringing theological inquiry together with the philosophical movement of new materialism, Sam Mickey points toward a variety of ways for thinking about matter and everything that materializes in human and more-than-human worlds. Mickey provides introductory definitions and historical context for understanding the relationship between various theological and materialist ideas and practices. He examines the self-declared novelty and materiality of new materialism, noting the limitations of those labels while articulating the very new and quite material challenges that new materialism does indeed pose, challenges of urgent existential importance that demand theological responses. New Materialism and Theology faces the theological implications and material possibilities facing humanity while ecological and technological realities seem to be pointing toward posthuman or transhuman futures or perhaps something else entirely.

"This book analyses various examples of the imaginative semiotisation of the Fall of Man and the Church's semiotic perception of the Divine plan for Redemption. Based on a close reading of primary sources, it analyses the meaning-making inherent in these ideas, which are filtered through and given material representation by the semiotic paradigms of various cultural fields, including philology, verbal arts and science"--

Dans les deux premières études nous montrons que, pour Spinoza, l'important est moins Dieu que la connaissance que nous en avons et que le nom de Dieu signifie avant tout l'excellence de la connaissance intuitive. Dans la troisième, le corps est entendu comme les trois genres de connaissance. Par ses faiblesses il induit imagination et passions. Il est également le corps social à la concorde duquel veille la raison éthique. Enfin, par son essence, il participe de l'éternité et de la créativité infinies de son Attribut. Dans la quatrième, en filigrane d'une philosophie du salut individuel, transparaît le vif désir que s'instaure un accord de tous (idées et sentiments) sur l'essentiel, à savoir l'amour de Dieu, c'est-à-dire l'amour de la vérité.

"This is the first monograph devoted to the theology of the Epinomis. It argues that the work offers a revised Platonic conception of the divine better suited to the political imperatives of the post-Classical age. The Epinomis is an 'appendix' to Plato's Laws written by Plato's student, Philip of Opus. Through a comprehensive analysis of the Epinomis' lexicon, and comparisons with the Corpus Platonicum, Vera Calchi offers readers an insight into the Epinomis' philosophical and historical context, purpose, and legacy. Calchi argues that Philip effectively reshapes Plato's metaphysical language into a theology premised on the immanence of God in the heavens. The resulting account of God's providential activity in the cosmos, which offers a new way of thinking about morality and political order, can be regarded as a major step towards the cosmic theology of the Hellenistic period. The Theology of the Epinomis is suitable for students and scholars of ancient philosophy, particularly those working on the Epinomis and Platonic philosophy. It will also be of interest to those studying the history of religion and theology in antiquity"--

"Eike Christian Herzig geht der Frage nach, welchen Einfluss die Philosophie Martin Heideggers auf das Theologieverständnis von Heinrich Ott und Eberhard Jüngel zu Beginn der 1960er Jahre hatte. Ihre theologische Auseinandersetzung über die Bedeutung der Seinsphilosophie Heideggers zeugt von einem Ringen um ein theologisches Selbstverständnis zwischen existenzieller Orientierung und christlichem Glauben. Dazu wird Heideggers Werk unter bestimmten Aspekten untersucht: Seine Überlegungen zur Philosophie Friedrich Nietzsches, zur Dichtung Hölderlins und zu frühgriechischen Denkern loten das kritische Verhältnis zur Theologie in einer Weise aus, die als »antitheologisch« bezeichnet werden kann. Welche Spannungen und Erkenntnisse ein konstruktiver Umgang mit dieser Philosophie für die Theologie bereithält, belegen die Interpretationen Otts und Jüngels, die in dieser Arbeit eingehend analysiert werden."

Claude Tresmontant (1925-1997) était professeur de philosophie médiévale et d'histoire des sciences à la Sorbonne. Cet ouvrage présente ses thèses en insistant sur l'articulation entre les sciences et la question de l'existence de Dieu. La rationalité de la théologie chrétienne est soutenue. Ses travaux aboutissent à démontrer l'existence de Dieu et soulèvent l'alternative suivante : admettre l'existence du Créateur ou la refuser tout en continuant d'être les héritiers du matérialisme qui fit florès jusqu'aux réductionnistes contemporains. La finalité de l'évolution n'étant autre que l'union de la nature humaine créée à la nature divine incréée, union dont le Christ incarne le Premier-Né. Les sciences donneraient alors accès à la Création en cours d'évolution, tandis que la Bible contiendrait le secret de l'information essentielle sur son avenir. "Emounah" en hébreu, "certitude de la vérité", la foi reviendrait ainsi à un acte rationnel, et non à une croyance purement affective.

"Die hier vorgestellte systematische Theorie performativer Glaubensakte stützt sich auf Husserls phänomenologischen Begriff religiöser Erfahrung und auf Hönigswalds erkenntnistheoretische Konzeption diskursiver performativer Vollzüge. Die Verbindung beider Ansätze eröffnet neue Perspektiven auch für eine systematische Gottesdiensttheorie." --

"Dorotheus of Gaza and Ascetic Education approaches fundamental questions about the role and function of education in late antiquity through a detailed study of the thought of Dorotheus of Gaza, a sixth-century Palestinian monk. It illumines the thought of a significant figure in Palestinian monasticism, clarifies relationships between ascetic and classical education, and contributes to debates about how different educational projects related to late-antique cultural change. Dorotheus appropriates and reconfigures classical discourses of rhetoric, philosophy, and medicine and builds on earlier ascetic traditions. Education is a powerful site for the reconfiguration and reproduction of culture, and Dorotheus' educational programme can be read as a microcosm of the wider culture he aims to construct partly through his adaptation and representation of classical and ascetic discourses. Key features of his educational programme include the role of the notion of godlikeness, the governing role of humility as an epistemic virtue intended to organize affective and ethical development, and his notion of education as life-long habituation. For Dorotheus, education is irreducibly affective and transformative rather than merely informative at the individual and communal scales. His epistemology and ethics are set within an account of the divine plan of salvation which is intended to provide a narrative framework through which his students come to understand the world and their place in it. His account of ways of knowing and ordering knowledge, ethics and moral development, emotions of education, and relationships between affect, cognition, and ethical action aims towards transformation of his students and their communities"--
