THEOLOGICAL RENEWAL AND THE RESURGENCE OF INTEGRISMThe René Draguet Case (1942) in Its Context

DE PRIL W.

On July 1, 1942 the Holy Office issued a decree that the Louvain professor of fundamental theology

René Draguet (1896-1980) had to be deprived of his teaching. The decree did not clarify the reasons

for this sanction. Earlier on in the same year two books were placed on the Index: M.-D. Chenu’s

Une École de théologie: Le Saulchoir (1937) and L. Charlier’s Essai sur le problème théologique (1938),

while a dissertation of a Louvain doctor in theology and student of Draguet, V. Buffon, was ‘con-

demned’ without being put on the Index. These theologians shared a pursuit of theological renewal,

either directly (e.g. by elaborating a new theory of theology) or indirectly (e.g. by introducing meth-

odological innovations in the domain of doctrinal history). As both Charlier and Buffon were to a

large extent dependent on Draguet’s theological theory and method, the Louvain professor appears as

the key figure of a ‘Louvain school’ of theological renewal that – together with the school of

Le Saulchoir – was combated very harshly by the Holy Office in 1942. The quick succession

of condemnations gave rise to the fear that a revival of ‘integrism’ was taking place against a kind of

neo-modernism, labeled as nouvelle théologie.

THE ARTICULATION BETWEEN NATURAL SCIENCES AND SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGYA Philosophical Mediation Based on the Contributions of Jean Ladrière and Xavier Zubiri

JIMÉNEZ RODRÍGUEZ L.O.

The object of this work is the interdisciplinary dialogue between natural sciences and Christian theol-

ogy. It studies the theological, epistemological and semantic conditions that make possible an articu-

lation between scientific worldviews and theological discourses. Based on some theological and epis-

temological conditions, this work proposes a theological method that articulates scientific worldviews

into systematic theology through the mediation of philosophy. The method seeks two objectives:

(a) that theology remains in its epistemological boundaries and (b) to respect the autonomy of natural

sciences. Finally, the proposed theological method is applied to three examples in dialogue with natu-

ral sciences: (i) creation, (ii) human action and (iii) a spiritual contemplation of God’s presence in the

world. This book follows the contributions of two major scholars of the Twentieth Century: Jean

Ladrière and Xavier Zubiri. Our considerations are based on the scholars’ analyses of the plurality of

epistemologies and their analyses of the intellectual act.

SUR L’HOMMEUne traversée de la question anthropologique

BRITO E.

Jamais l’homme n’a été autant qu’aujourd’hui un problème pour lui-même. Mais les diverses sciences

spéciales ne nous fournissent pas de la question anthropologique une idée qui ait de l’unité. Il est

urgent – et théologiquement opportun – de chercher à dégager celle-ci. Le présent travail voudrait y

contribuer. Après une longue Introduction historique sur les principaux courants anthropologiques

dans la pensée du XXe siècle, le livre comprend quatre parties systématiques. La première traite du

rapport de l’homme au monde. La deuxième partie considère le moi, le soi, la conscience, et la capa-

cité humaine de connaître, de vouloir, d’agir. La troisième partie, axée sur l’essence de l’homme,

explore la notion d’âme, le thème de l’esprit, la problématique du corps, la différence de l’individu et

de la personne. La quatrième partie, dont le fil conducteur est le rapport aux autres et à l’Autre, étudie

la relation interpersonnelle, le rapport de l’homme et de la société, la dimension historique, la visée

de l’Absolu à travers l’art, la philosophie et la religion. L’Épilogue indique l’arrière-plan théologique

et caractérise l’approche de l’ouvrage.

LA THÉOLOGIE COMME SCIENCE HERMÉNEUTIQUE DE LA TRADITION DE FOIUne lecture de «Dieu qui vient à l’homme» de Joseph Moingt

GALLEZ J.-P.

La raison humaine est profondément engagée par l’acte de foi. Cette conviction fondamentale gît au

cœur du présent ouvrage issu d’une étude de l’imposante somme de Joseph Moingt – Dieu qui vient à l’homme. Deux éléments essentiels de la pensée de Moingt ont guidé l’auteur vers cette conclusion:

son concept d’«humanisme évangélique» et son rapport critique à la tradition. Notre hypothèse sou-

tient que ces deux facteurs contribuent à retrouver les intuitions de foi sous-jacentes au discours

dogmatique traditionnel et qu’ils inscrivent l’acte théologique dans la raison commune en respectant

mieux l’économie de l’Incarnation. L’hypothèse est doublement féconde. Elle fait émerger une raison

interne à l’acte de croire chrétien qui lie le principe d’une «foi critique» et celui d’une «théologie

confessante», et elle conforte la pleine appartenance de la théologie aux sciences dites «humaines»

comme science herméneutique de l’acte de foi.

DIALOGUE ET COMMUNIONL’itinéraire oecuménique de Jean-Marie R. Tillard

WATINE CHRISTORY P.

Jean Marie R. Tillard (1927-2000) est l’un des plus brillants œcuménistes catholiques du XXe siècle.

À Vatican II, il prend conscience des grandes ouvertures œcuméniques du Concile et de sa vocation

à travailler pour la communion visible des Églises. Avec ténacité et persévérance, il décrira et dévelop-

pera les implications ecclésiologiques de cette nouvelle orientation conciliaire et cherchera à les mettre

en œuvre dans les dialogues théologiques internationaux dont il fut membre. Jusqu’à la fin de sa vie,

il sera en dialogue avec les anglicans, les disciples du Christ et les orthodoxes, et à Foi et Constitution,

avec un éventail d’Églises. Au sein de ces instances, ses nombreux working-papers stimuleront les

discussions des commissions et laisseront son empreinte dans les textes d’accord. Par sa rigueur théo-

logique, sa capacité à dépasser les controverses et à ouvrir des horizons, Tillard a sans aucun doute

contribué au rapprochement des Églises et à leur dynamisme œcuménique.

RELIGION ET CONSERVATISMEExplorations théologiques d’une connivence annoncée

MAGER R. (ed.)

Pour la plupart de nos contemporains, il existe des liens étroits, voire une connivence profonde entre

la religion et le conservatisme. L’idée communément reçue veut qu’être religieux implique un attache-

ment aux idéaux, aux mœurs et aux institutions du passé. Mais cette idée s’avère un peu courte quand

il s’agit de rendre compte d’une variété de phénomènes qui ne s’accordent pas avec elle: la pluralité

des courants religieux progressistes, l’innovation religieuse, la vigueur politique des conservatismes, la

complexité des transactions entre islam et modernité. Si la connivence entre religion et conservatisme

demeure plausible, elle ne va pas de soi et exige ainsi d’être pensée. Issu des travaux de la Société

canadienne de théologie, ce recueil d’études croise une diversité de points de vue disciplinaires et de

perspectives pour mieux comprendre les rapports entre religion et conservatisme.• 2014 – Terra Nova 1

PRATIQUES ÉMERGENTES EN THÉOLOGIEDes «printemps théologiques»?

POULIOT É., FORTIN A., CHAMPAGNE E. (eds)

Comme le «printemps arabe», bouleversement de sociétés qui a créé un visage inédit du monde arabe,

des pratiques théologiques émergent dans nos milieux, tant sur le terrain qu’à l’université. La théolo-

gique vivrait-elle, elle aussi, un «printemps» qui se généralise en même temps qu’il se concrétise par

des pratiques novatrices? Cet ouvrage permet d’examiner comment faire théologie à partir de postures

moins traditionnelles (en termes d’enseignement universitaire, de cours magistraux, de discours pro-

fessoral, etc.). Il déploie le ou les sens que portent ces pratiques issues du contexte actuel de la déchris-

tianisation. Le «printemps» qui bouleverse et anime la théologie actuelle nous oblige à tourner notre

regard non sur le passé afin de le restaurer de quelque manière ni sur l’avenir pour déployer d’autres

projections théoriciennes, mais sur le présent avec tout ce qui s’y trouve et s’y donne comme exigences. • 2015 – Terra Nova 2

IN-BETWEEN SPACES: CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES FOR THEOLOGIES OF GENDEREntre espacios: propuestas creativas para las teologías de género - Zwischenräume: Kreative

Möglichkeiten für Gender-Theologien

BLOHM U., BODO M., GUDMARSDÓTTIR S., KNAUSS S., PAPACEK R. (eds)

The in-between is often considered as a bare and infertile space. To venture into the borderland

between two states, for example, can be fatal; it is a lawless area, threatening and chaotic, hostile to

human well-being and flourishing. Yet recent postcolonial and queer studies have increased awareness

of the positive aspects of the in-between: borders also provide spaces for negotiation, interconnection

and transgression and for articulations of identities and differences. Like bridges, borders emphasize

difference and distance, but also connection. The interest and aim of this volume is to explore the

in-between space in its positive and negative, challenging and limiting aspects with regard to issues

of gender from the perspective of theology and the study of religions.

AUGA U., GUDMARSDÓTTIR S., KNAUSS S., MARTÍNEZ CANO S. (eds)

Under today’s conditions of globalization and neoliberalism with the consequent commodification of

the whole life, poverty, (hetero-)sexism, homophobia, racism, fundamentalism and nationalism

(including right-wing extremism) are producing violent exclusions instead of inclusive ideas of com-

munity, solidarity, and justice. What answers can the theological perspectives of different religions

offer to decrease economic and epistemic violence? Especially liberationist, intersectional, feminist,

and gender-sensitive approaches have proven to be very conscious of these issues and have contributed

immensely to their analysis in theology and religious studies. More recently, postcolonial, post-secular

and queer theories have furthered the critical debates in cultural and social analysis and enriched pre-

vious approaches.

THE EVOLUTION OF HOPETheological Metaethics in the Context of Evolution

KEOGH G.

This book is situated within the realm of theological engagement with the sciences with a particular

focus on how the nature of ethics is understood through this dialogue. Its purpose is to provide a

theological appreciation of the nature of ethics which also takes seriously evolutionary accounts of how

ethics came to be. It argues that such a theological metaethic can be interpreted as hopeful and opti-

mistic given the apparent evolution of the moral from the amoral. This work hinges on two different

but intertwined levels. One is the level of ethical systems: a particular understanding of Western

Christian ethics. This level is framed by another, broader level of metaethics: an overarching under-

standing of the character of ethics that emerges from reflections on evolutionary theory and its natu-

ralistic context.

WITHOUT METAPHOR, NO SAVING GODTheology after Cognitive Linguistics

MASSON R.

Studies of conceptual and neural mapping in cognitive linguistics, while posing a fundamental

challenge for religious belief, also suggest new ways of understanding how people conceptualize God

and make theological inferences. This book, inspired by that research and attentive to the distinctive

insights of Christian theology, elaborates an innovative explanation of God-talk, better able to cred-

ibly address confusion and controversies that trouble the church, academic theology, and broader

culture. The first part analyzes both cognitive linguistics’ challenge to standard theological depictions

of metaphorical, analogous, symbolic, and literal language, and the discipline’s promise for providing

a more satisfactory account. The second half examines six case studies to illustrate how clarifying the

conceptual mapping in God-talk and theological inferences provides a powerful tool for advancing

religious understanding. The illustrations include the hypothesis that religion is an epiphenomenon

of evolution, the so-called “new atheism,” Black theology, and controversies between theologians and

Church authorities.

FULLY INFORMED REASONABLE DISAGREEMENT AND TRADITION BASED PERSPECTIVALISMBALDWIN E.D.

Apparently, people who are aware of the relevant facts and experiences in a belief forming situation,

sometimes reasonably disagree about whether to believe and why. This study argues that such

disagreements are possible, and that some purportedly fully informed reasonable disagreements are

genuine, including cases involving disagreement about which beliefs about God are reasonably taken

to be properly basic, given the facts of religious diversity and cases in which phenomenologically

similar religious experiences properly ground a variety of religious beliefs. Drawing on the work

of Alasdair MacIntyre, it also argues that Tradition-Based Perspectivalism – roughly, the view that

foundational beliefs about what is reasonable to believe and why, are tradition-based and perspectival

in nature, originating in and appropriately grounded only from the perspective of some tradition of

inquiry or other – is true, and that its truth provides additional support for the claim that fully

informed reasonable disagreement actually occurs.

FAITH, HOPE AND LOVEThomas Aquinas on Living by the Theological Virtues

GORIS H., HENDRIKS L., SCHOOT H.J.M. (eds)

During the last two decades virtue ethics has become the focal point of renewed ethical and theo-

logical interest. To lead a good life, it proves useful to watch those who have mastered the art of living.

Living a good life requires exercise, and is a question of acquiring a virtuous character rather than of

complying with external ethical and legal rules. This renaissance partly builds on Thomas Aquinas.

He in turn recovered Aristotelian, Ciceronian and Augustinian thought on virtue ethics. The inter-

pretation and development of virtues and vices form the core of his authorship, as the secunda pars of

his Summa Theologiae readily displays. And yet, the most important virtues for him are not the moral

ones, such as Justice, Temperance, Prudence and Fortitude, but those virtues that are both infused by

and aimed at God: Faith, Hope and Love. These are virtues that the philosophers of antiquity were

not aware of. To account for them, Aquinas had to adapt the classical understanding of virtues. For

Aquinas, the moral virtues come to full fruition only when they are embedded in a life before God, a

life lived exercising the God given theological virtues. By ignoring Faith, Hope and Love, the present

discussion of virtue ethics not only ignores those virtues that were for Aquinas of utmost importance,

but also fails to arrive at a complete understanding of his view of the moral virtues.

THOMAS AQUINAS, «DE UNIONE VERBI INCARNATI»NUTT R.W. (ed.)

This volume contains the first publication in book form of an English translation of Thomas Aquinas’s

controversial disputed question De unione Verbi incarnati. This disputed question is a remarkable

portal into the Angelic Doctor’s theology of the hypostatic union, which is recognized as an area in

which Aquinas forged some of his most original and penetrating articulations of the Christian faith.

In the De unione Verbi incarnati Aquinas presents in five articles material that occupies more than

eighteen questions in the third part of the Summa theologiae. The attribution of an esse secundarium

to Christ, in the fourth article of the De unione, has been the object of intense debate, for it seems to

contradict the account of the Summa. In addition to Professor Nutt’s English translation, the volume

includes the critical Latin text published by Barbara Bartocci, Klaus Obenauer, and Walter Senner, as

well as a substantial introduction. Professor Nutt’s introduction carefully unfolds the historical back-

ground, technical concepts, sources, and speculative claims needed for understanding the breadth of

the biblical and metaphysical contemplation represented in this work; it also includes a detailed

exploration of the debate over the fourth article.

THE HERMENEUTICS OF KNOWING AND WILLING IN THE THOUGHT OF ST. THOMAS AQUINASO’REILLY K.E.

This study elicits a concern to show forth those elements in the theology of Saint Thomas Aquinas

that can meaningfully engage with those trends in contemporary hermeneutical philosophy and theol-

ogy that highlight the conditioned nature of human understanding. The main point of reference in

this regard is the hermeneutical philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer. At the heart of this hermeneu-

tical enterprise is Thomas’s construal of the relationship between intellect and will, a relationship that

can be described as one of dynamic reciprocity. A dynamic interaction between intellect and will

obtains in both their natural and graced operations. Hence, the title of this book, The Hermeneutics of Knowing and Willing in the Thought of St. Thomas Aquinas. Some might be concerned that the

notion of hermeneutics will import the spectre of relativism into Thomas’s thought. By guiding the

reader through Thomas’s doctrine of man as made to the image of the Trinity, his Trinitarian theol-

ogy, his Christology, and his treatment of grace, the theological virtues of faith and charity, and the

Gifts of the Holy Spirit, the author shows how Thomas in fact offers us resources for a theological

hermeneutics of objectivity.

NICOLAS DE CUES ET L’ISLAM

PASQUA H. (ed.)

La position de Nicolas de Cues sur l’islam n’est pas facile à cerner. Dans le De Pace Fidei, il semble

présenter une vision irénique des différentes religions et du dialogue qui pourrait s’établir entre elles

et ce discours général vaut en particulier pour l’islam, tandis que dans la Cribatio Alkorani, Nicolas,

aux dire de nombreux interprètes, se montrerait beaucoup plus incisif, au point que ce livre ne pour-

rait absolument pas constituer le fondement d’un dialogue constructif entre le christianisme et l’islam.

Mais un certain nombre de travaux du présent volume, montre que les choses ne sont pas si tranchées.

Certes, Nicolas de Cues ignorait pas mal de choses sur l’Islam et les documents qu’il utilise l’induisent

dans un certain nombre de cas en erreur. Mais, par de là la lettre, il ressort qu’il a remarquablement

compris l’esprit coranique et que ces textes méritent à cet égard plus d’attention qu’ils n’en ont

généralement reçue. Le présent recueil permet de se faire une idée plus précise de la cohérence de la

position de Nicolas de Cues sur le dialogue entre christianisme et islam et des liens entre les thèses de

la Cribatio Alkorani et la pensée globale du grand cardinal. Le livre est issu d’un Colloque tenu sur ce

thème à l’Université de Rennes le 9 avril et rassemble des contributions de Walter Andreas Euler, Tom

Kerger, Geneviève Gobillot (deux textes), Susan Gottlöber, Graziella Federici Vescovini Hervé Pasqua

et Jean-Michel Counet.

AMOUR SACRÉ, FIN’AMORBernard de Clairvaux et les troubadours

SAOUMA B.

La spiritualité bernardine et la fin’amor se rejoignent en de nombreux points, particulièrement dans

l’exercice des vertus et le rejet des vices. La pratique de l’humilité et le renoncement à l’orgueil, ainsi

que la question de l’accord des volontés, sont constants dans les deux expressions d’un amour qui doit

conduire au perfectionnement des protagonistes humains, ainsi qu’à une joie ineffable. Néanmoins, le

cheminement spirituel de Bernard de Clairvaux est parsemé de revirements et de doutes, tandis que

les troubadours se révoltent contre Amour, entité universelle, au pouvoir quasi absolu. Dans les deux

cas, il ne s’agit pas de l’expression d’un amour fou, balayant les contraintes sociales. Les excès en sont

limités par la raison, constitutive de l’âme humaine chez Bernard, et la mezura des poètes. Ce qui

n’exclut pas l’expression du désir, désir de Dieu ou désir de la dame. Les troubadours ont aussi chanté

PICHÉ D.

Le présent ouvrage entend faire connaître un acteur et témoin privilégié des débats universitaires en

philosophie de la connaissance au début du XIVe siècle: Gérard de Bologne (ca. 1240/50 – 1317),

premier grand intellectuel de l’ordre des Carmes. Afin de rendre manifeste l’importance historique de

ce maître en théologie de l’Université de Paris, nous offrons l’édition critique, accompagnée d’une

étude doctrinale, de quatorze questions quodlibétiques qui relèvent du champ de la gnoséologie. En

examinant ce corpus, on rencontre un penseur qui prend position de façon résolue au sujet de pro-

blèmes majeurs en théorie de la connaissance: il soutient, notamment, l’élimination de l’espèce intel-

ligible et l’identification du concept à l’acte d’intellection. En outre, on y découvre un savant univer-

sitaire qui, par le vaste registre des philosophes de son temps dont il connaît et rapporte les théories,

dresse une «cartographie» exemplaire des positions en présence sur le terrain de la gnoséologie à une

époque charnière de l’histoire de la scolastique latine.

DURAND OF SAINT-POURÇAIN AND HIS SENTENCES COMMENTARYHistorical, Philosophical, and Theological Issues

SPEER A., RETUCCI F., JESCHKE T., GULDENTOPS G. (eds)

The articles assembled in this volume shed new light on Durand of Saint-Pourçain and his intellectual

context. They reveal how current research is nuancing and challenging Joseph Koch’s groundbreaking

studies on Durand; they also propose directions for future research, particularly concerning the recep-

tion of Durand’s philosophy and theology.

NIKOLAS KABASILASEin Weg zu einer Synthese der Traditionen

DORDEVIC M.

In der vorliegenden Studie wird untersucht, ob der maßgebliche byzantinische Denker des 14.

Jahrhunderts Nikolas Kabasilas, der eine konstruktive Haltung zu den verschiedenen in seiner Zeit

aktuellen Denktraditionen an den Tag legt, zu Recht als ein Vertreter der eigentümlich byzantinischen

Tradition (einschließlich ihrer palamitischen Entfaltung) gesehen werden kann. Insbesondere der

abendländischen antiken und mittelalterlichen Tradition, vor allem Aristoteles und Thomas von

Aquin, steht er offen gegenüber. Während diese Traditionen in der Regel mit der byzantinisch-pala-

mitischen Tradition als unvereinbar und ihr entgegengesetzt betrachtet werden, zeigt genau der Fall

des Kabasilas die Einseitigkeit einer solchen Vorstellung. Das aus den anderen Traditionen übernom-

mene Material trägt zur Entfaltung seiner eigenen Philosophie bzw. Theologie bei, ohne damit seinen

traditionsgemäßen Grundhaltungen zu widersprechen. Die Frage nach der Art und Weise, wie

Kabasilas diesen synthetischen Vorgang begründet und durchführt, steht im Mittelpunkt dieser

Untersuchung.

OF SINS AND SERMONSWENZEL S.

Seventeen previously published papers, here updated and revised, and one hitherto unpublished esssay

explore the medieval notion of the Seven Deadly Sins and several aspects of medieval sermons. These

scholarly studies examine how the commonplace of seven “chief vices” was analyzed in scholastic

theology and used in preaching and in hearing confession. The influence of one major Summa de vitiis on other works of its kind is investigated in some detail. In the field of medieval preaching, the author

examines sermon collections, academic speech acts, sermons for saints, and preachers’ use of proverbs

i n French. Several works by English Dominican authors, particularly Fishacre, Bromyard, Holcot, and

an ars praedicandi, are brought to light. The essays are based on fresh investigation of medieval

manuscripts and accompanied by critical editions of the relevant texts.

DURANDI DE SANCTO PORCIANOSCRIPTUM SUPER IV LIBROS SENTENTIARUM

Der Sentenzenkommentar des Durandus von St. Pourçain nimmt, was seine Originalität und seine Bedeutung für die philosophische

und theologische Mediävistik angeht, eine herausragende Stellung unter den Sentenzenkommentaren des 14. Jahrhunderts ein. Zum

einen ist er ein einzigartiges Dokument für die Debatten vor allem innerhalb des Dominikanerordens um die Bedeutung des Thomas

von Aquin und die Verbindlichkeit seiner Lehrmeinungen für den Orden. Zum anderen steht der Sentenzenkommentar des

Durandus für die wachsende Bedeutung, die dieses Genre am Ende des 13. und zu Beginn des 14. Jahrhunderts wiedererlangt. Von

einem Pflichtstück am Beginn der akademischen Karriere wie etwa bei Thomas von Aquin wird der Sentenzenkommentar nun zu

einer wichtigen Schriftgattung eines Magisters der Theologie, die ihn seine ganze akademische Karriere über begleitet.

THE NOTORY ART OF SHORTHAND (ARS NOTORIA NOTARIE)A Curious Chapter in the History of Writing in the West

HAINES J.

The Notory Art of Shorthand (Ars notoria notarie), an important yet understudied late medieval work,

is newly edited here and presented for the first time in English translation along with an introduction

and commentary. This unique treatise on shorthand writing is a hybrid of literary genres that sheds

much light on late medieval scribal culture. Following in a medieval tradition of works such as the

Secret of Secrets, the innovative Ars notoria notarie points forward to early modern hermetic writers such

as Agrippa von Nettesheim and John Dee, the latter having owned one of the three manuscripts of the

work. The Ars notoria notarie relates to disciplines ranging from paleography to magic. It has multiple

identities: a unique branch of one of the most popular magic treatises of the Middle Ages, the Ars notoria; a rare report on medieval paleography and the notarial trade; an exposé of a unique medieval

cipher based on the famous Tironian notes; an eclectic university text bringing together authorities

from Pliny and Aristotle to Donatus and Bede; a remarkable source for the liturgy of Thomas Becket;

and, finally, a distinctive contribution to the epistolary genre known as the mirror for princes.

SCRIPT AS IMAGEHAMBURGER J.F.

In the Middle Ages, writing conveyed far more than information. In contradistinction to the modern

separation of image and text and, by implication, form and content, which was reified with the inven-

tion of printing, illuminated manuscripts made images out of words. In consonance with Christian

doctrine, which declared that the Word had become flesh, letters painted on parchment assumed

bodily presence to create effects of power and persuasion. Painted letters elicited modes of perfor-

mance, oral recitation and ritual action. Far from calligraphic ornament or a medium with prescribed

boundaries, medieval lettering reveals itself as a flexible instrument in which various categories of

human experience and expression – the audible, the visible, the symbolic and the figurative – come

together. Among the topics touched on by this book are display scripts, monograms, nomina sacra and

carmina figurata, epigraphic inscriptions, chrysography and color, speech scrolls, relationships among

author, scribe and artist as expressed through scripts, the anthropomorphic dimensions of abstract

lettering, and the impact of iconic scripts on the reader.

NEW PERSPECTIVES ON FLEMISH ILLUMINATIONPapers presented at the Colloquium held in Brussels, Royal Library of Belgium,

WATTEEUW L., VAN DER STOCK J., BOUSMANNE B., VANWIJNSBERGHE D.

(eds)

The Proceedings of the Colloquium New Perspectives on Flemish Illuminations constitute an overview

of recent research into manuscript illumination in Flanders under the Dukes of Burgundy. In 1959 Léon

Delaissé organized the seminal exhibition La miniature flamande. Le mécénat de Philippe le Bon

(Flemish Illumination. The Patronage of Philip the Good). Seen in Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris, it

was a ground-breaking initiative. In 2014, more than fifty years later, our knowledge of the illumi-

nated manuscript in the Southern Netherlands during the Burgundian period has vastly increased, as

revealed in the exhibition Miniatures flamandes 1404-1482 (Flemish Miniatures 1404-1482) held in

Brussels and Paris in 2011-2012. The associated Colloquium stimulated sixteen papers, by leading

specialists in the field, presented here in six sections.

THE WOMAN WITH THE BLOOD FLOW (MARK 5:24-34)Narrative, Iconic, and Anthropological Spaces

BAERT B. (ed.)

This publication starts from a particular passage in the New Testament that tells the story of a

“woman with an issue of blood.” The gospel relates how the so-called Haemorrhoissa is healed the

very moment she touches Christ’s garment. This publication forms the first – and so far the only –

interdisciplinary study of this particular biblical motif from an exegetical, art-historical and anthropo-

logical point of view. Contributing scholars interpret the impact of this biblical miracle on Christian

texts, material culture and healing archetypes in the Middle Ages and Early Modernity. The story and

its Nachleben in literary commentaries and various iconographies unveil a particular energy in

Christendom related to ideas about the female body, the role of textile, and the magical impact of

touch. The Woman with the Blood Flow (Mark 5:24-34). Narrative, Iconic, and Anthropological Spaces contributes to all research in the humanities concerned with gender, the sensorium, Judeo-Christian

attitudes towards blood and taboo, and early Christian material culture in the East and West. Its

trajectory ultimately reveals the crucial mystery at the heart of image-making as such.

FROM FLOW TO FACEThe Haemorrhoissa Motif (Mark 5:24b-34parr) between Anthropological Origin

and Image Paradigm

SIDGWICK E.

The synoptic Gospels record a remarkable story about an anonymous woman – the ‘Haemorrhoissa’

in further tradition – suffering from incessant uterine bleeding who, without Jesus’ intention or

knowledge, was healed by his power (Mark 5:24b-34parr). The Haemorrhoissa motif had an impor-

tant place in early Christianity, and from its earliest manifestation as synoptic narrative it developed

into a multifarious motif embedded in a variety of contexts. One of its most remarkable developments

was its transformation into the Veronica motif, the roots of which thus lie in early Christianity.

This historical-anthropological investigation of the early Christian Haemorrhoissa motif hence is

driven by two primary research questions. The first: why was the early Christian Haemorrhoissa motif

so richly represented and did it develop so multifariously? The second: what did the early Christian

constellation of the Haemorrhoissa motif contribute to the genesis of the vera icon and its constitution

as image paradigm and, intrinsically linked to this, as anthropological paradigm?

IDENTITÉS JUIVES ENTRE ANCRAGES ET PASSAGES EN CATALOGNE, DU XIIe AU XVe SIÈCLEDENJEAN C.

Cet ouvrage rassemble des textes sur les identités juives médiévales en Catalogne et dans la couronne

d’Aragon de la fin du XIIe siècle au XVe siècle. Composés avant 2010, puis revus, ils déclinent les

caractères de la vie des juifs tels que la révèlent les sources latines d’une variété exceptionnelle, parfois

mises en perspective avec des œuvres des auteurs juifs majeurs d’alors. L’interrogation porte sur l’ins-

cription dans l’espace, la place des conflits et de la violence, les conversions au christianisme, les

activités financières. Le but était de rassembler des fragments d’existences, de partir des plus petits

éléments préhensibles, d’où par exemple l’utilisation de l’archéologie et l’attention à la topographie.

Un des nœuds de la réflexion concernait le crédit, que l’état des sources conduit à développer, malgré

une conclusion affirmant qu’il est rarement l’activité essentielle de ces hommes. Un des moyens pour

dépasser le paradoxe a consisté en la reconstitution des réseaux de relations. Dans les États où le

judaïsme et le droit hébraïque étaient publiquement reconnus, affrontée à des bouleversements poli-

tiques et culturels, à des crises démographiques, économiques et fiscales, une nouvelle société, com-

plexe, se construisit, parfois dans la controverse mais avec force, par des choix familiaux ou des options

philosophiques. Nous n’observons aucun repli communautaire, mais plutôt une ouverture certaine à

la société englobante, qui ne signifie pas dilution ou abandon de la judéité.

LA QUESTION DE LA NON-DUALITÉ DANS LA JAIMINIYASAMHITA DU BRAHMANDAPURANALe Janakaprasna

SMETS S.

Le Jaiminiyasamhita, en partie inédite, est une œuvre puranique de nature «encyclopédique». Dans

une section de six chapitres intitulée «La question de Janaka» (Janakaprasna), le roi Kartaviryarjuna

rend visite à Dattatreya, afin de recevoir un enseignement sur l’advaita, la «non-dualité». Ce dernier

lui rapporte l’enseignement que le sage Asita transmit autrefois au roi mythique Janaka. Cette «ques-

tion de Janaka», à l’instar des Upanisad, se présente sous la forme d’un dialogue entre un maître et

un disciple. La thématique au cœur de ce dialogue concerne la nature du brahman et son rapport au

corps. Elle permet à l’auteur de faire montre de l’étendue de son savoir dans des domaines aussi riches

que variés: le développement embryonaire et les théories physiologiques, les conceptions cosmogo-

niques, les paradoxes de la non-dualité et les disciplines de salut, en particulier le yoga, influencé par

des conceptions tantriques. Cette editio princeps du Janakaprasna est accompagnée d’une traduction et

d’un commentaire qui approfondit les thématiques abordées, avec une attention particulière pour

l’identification des sources et des textes parallèles.

Ce volume collectif se propose, à travers ses huit chapitres, de contribuer à délimiter un « domaine

tantrique » dans le paysage religieux de la Chine et de ses voisins. Si le bouddhisme ésotérique est au

cœur de son propos, on y aborde aussi des pratiques et des représentations qui s’en inspirent en s’en

distinguant, qu’elles soient rattachables au taoïsme, au shinto ou témoignent d’une présence plus

diffuse au sein de la culture populaire d’Asie orientale.

Ce volume a pour modeste ambition d’apporter aux études sur le bouddhisme ésotérique la contri-

bution de spécialistes de domaines très variés, mais extérieurs au domaine de la pure bouddhologie.

Il rassemble des textes de Brigitte Baptandier, Ester Bianchi, Yannick Bruneton, Vincent Durand-

DIONIGI AREOPAGITA. NOMI DIVINI, TEOLOGIA MISTICA, EPISTOLELa versione siriaca di Sergio di Rēs‘aynā (VI secolo)

FIORI E.

Sergio, medico capo di Rēs‘aynā, primo traduttore di Galeno in siriaco ed erudito dai molteplici

interessi, si accinse alla traduzione delle opere di Dionigi l’Areopagita nell’ultima fase della sua vita,

che si chiuse a Costantinopoli dopo una missione diplomatica a Roma, nel 536. La sua versione degli

scritti areopagitici, realizzata pochi anni dopo la comparsa in greco del misterioso corpus pseud epigrafo,

è pervenuta in un solo manoscritto, il Sinaitico siriaco 52 del monastero di Santa Caterina. Nonostante

questo importante testimone sia in parte lacunoso, è stato tuttavia possibile ricostruirlo quasi intera-

mente a partire da frammenti ritrovati al Sinai stesso e in diverse biblioteche europee. Il primo volume

presenta l’edizione critica dei tre scritti più speculativi di Dionigi: i Nomi divini, la Teologia mistica e

le Lettere. Il secondo volume contiene la traduzione italiana della versione di Sergio.

SYRIAC ENCOUNTERSPapers from the Sixth North American Syriac Symposium, Duke University,

26-29 June 2011

DOERFLER M., FIANO E., SMITH K. (eds)

The Sixth North American Syriac Symposium brought together scholars from across North America,

Europe, the Middle East, and India. Syriac Encounters offers twenty-four papers that were originally

delivered at the Symposium, and represents a cross-section of both the Symposium and the current

state of Syriac studies more broadly. Although most of the papers in the volume focus on the late

antique heyday of Syriac Christianity, several papers contribute to the study of other, related fields,

including Islamic studies and Middle Eastern anthropology. The blossoming of Syriac studies beyond

church history and Semitic philology can be attributed to a wider recognition of the Syriac language

and culture as a bridge linking (and fostering encounters between) Rome and Persia, Byzantium and

Baghdad, and Christianity and Islam.

THE UNIQUELY AFRICAN CONTROVERSYStudies on Donatist Christianity

DUPONT A., GAUMER M.A., LAMBERIGTS M. (eds)

Roman North Africa was one of ancient Christianity’s strongest havens, and there Donatism was the

strongest expression of Christianity. This neglected story from late antiquity is treated in a multi-

disciplinary way in the current volume. The Uniquely African Controversy: Studies on Donatist Christianity seeks to uncover what the identity and historical context of Donatism was, and why it

disappeared. What was Donatism’s legacy? Who were its leaders and adherents? Alongside this, why

did Augustine of Hippo become so embroiled with the Donatist Church? Contributions are from

scholars from North America, Europe, and Australia. They cover topics including archaeology, Roman

law, theology, martyrology, and ecclesiastical history.

DIE PACHOM-BRIEFEÜbersetzung und Deutung

JOEST C.

Erstmals werden hier alle zwölf Briefe des oberägyptischen Mönchsvaters Pachom (287–347) auf

Deutsch veröffentlicht. Die merkwürdige „Geheimschrift“, die mehr als die Hälfte dieser Dokumente

durchzieht, hat schon immer Kopfzerbrechen bereitet, angefangen bei Pachoms Mitbrüdern und bei

Hieronymus, der sie ins Lateinische übersetzt hat, über den Jesuiten Athanasius Kircher (1602–1680),

bis hin zu Forschern des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts wie Emanuele Testa, Ilona Opelt und Hans

Quecke. In diesem Buch wird ein Lösungsvorschlag vorgelegt, der in sich konsistent ist und sich in

der Durchführung als tragfähig erweist. So tritt neben die Übersetzung der Briefe auch ihre Deutung.

Die Botschaft Pachoms, die in allen Briefen zum Ausdruck kommt, stützt sich auf vier einfache

Grundgedanken: 1. Warnung vor irdischer Gesinnung, 2. In der Bedrängnis finden wir Rettung,

3. Gottes Gebot besteht in der Bruderliebe, 4. Diese gilt es zu erfüllen angesichts der Ewigkeit. Mit

diesen Gedanken ist Pachom verankert in der Mönchstheologie seiner Zeit. Sein Spezifikum als „Vater

der Koinobiten“ tritt aber in dem 3. und 4. Grundgedanken in besonders charakteristischer Weise

hervor.

COPTIC PARADIGMSA Summary of Sahidic Coptic Morphology

STERLING G.E.

Facility in reading an ancient language requires several competencies: control of the morphology,

a working vocabulary of common words and phrases, and a grasp of syntax. This pedagogical aide

addresses the first of these by collecting the basic forms and patterns of Sahidic Coptic and presenting

them in a convenient format. It is not a full grammar, but a supplement to a grammar. The work

provides beginning students with an overview of the morphology of Sahidic Coptic so that they can

see the whole of a part of speech or pattern as they learn discrete parts. It offers those who once

learned Coptic but have not been able to maintain it with a concise review. While the work is not

exhaustive, it is complete enough that it can serve as a useful reference for those who teach Coptic. • 2008

COPTIC IN 20 LESSONSIntroduction to Sahidic Coptic With Exercises & Vocabularies

LAYTON B.

Coptic in 20 Lessons is written by the author of the most authoritative reference grammar of the Coptic

language, and is based on decades of pedagogical experience. In easy steps and simple explanations, it

teaches the patterns and syntax of Sahidic Coptic, along with the most useful vocabulary. Drills,

compositions, and translation exercises enable the student to gain fluency. All words that occur more

than fifty times in the Sahidic New Testament are introduced lesson by lesson in vocabulary lists,

which are arranged by semantic field and accompanied by both Greek equivalents and English glosses.

The book concludes with three chapters of the Gospel of Mark, in which all new vocabulary is glossed

in footnotes. Coptic in 20 Lessons is the ideal resource for use in the classroom or for teaching oneself

Coptic. Critical acclaim for this book: “Coptic in 20 Lessons is the up-to-date teaching grammar that

Coptic studies has long needed. ... There is no better way to learn Coptic.” David Brakke, Indiana

University “Layton brings to this book a life-long experience of teaching, combined with the author-

ity of his masterly Coptic Grammar, arguably the best grammar of Sahidic Coptic ever written, from

which the present work is distilled... A state-of-the-art account.” Ariel Shisha-Halevy, Hebrew

LES JÉSUITES ET LE MOUVEMENT FLAMANDHistoire d’un engagement tardif mais virulent

DE BORCHGRAVE C.

Les jésuites, contrairement au clergé séculier, se tinrent pendant tout le dix-neuvième siècle en général

loin du mouvement flamand: ce ne fut qu’à la veille de la Première Guerre mondiale que naquit un

courant flamingant au sein de la Compagnie de Jésus. Ce courant, qui profita de la situation politique

en Belgique et atteignit son apogée dans les années 1920 et 1930, visa avant tout la néerlandisation

de la vie jésuite en Flandre. Mais plutôt que de mener leur combat dans les limites de leurs commu-

nautés et de leurs collèges, les jésuites flamingants l’étendirent à la société flamande tout entière.

Dès avant 1914, quelques membres de la Compagnie œuvrèrent à la constitution d’une idéologie

catholique du flamingantisme. Cette idéologie présentait la lutte en faveur de la langue, de la culture

et de la nation flamandes comme faisant partie d’une autre lutte: celle pour la sauvegarde de la foi

catholique en Flandre. Les jésuites flamingants en vinrent finalement à lier si étroitement le catholi-

cisme au nationalisme, que leurs adversaires leur reprochèrent de faire passer le politique avant le

religieux. Tel ne fut pas le cas: leur objectif premier était bien de restituer la Flandre au Christ. Il n’en

est pas moins vrai que cet objectif dont l’accomplissement, à leur avis, nécessitait la disparition de

l’État belge, les poussa ipso facto à l’activité politique, activité politique qu’ils menèrent principale-

ment par la voie des fidèles. Ceux-ci, avance la conclusion de cette étude, en furent rapprochés du

national-socialisme, de la collaboration et de la sécularisation.

CEL EN WERELDKartuizers en boeken in Roermond (1376-1783)

THISSEN P.

Van de kartuizers zegt men dat zij een speciale en heilige relatie met boek en bibliotheek hebben.

Volgens de master narrative onderscheiden de monniken van Bruno zich in de omvang van hun

collecties, de zorg voor het boek en de spirituele representatie van beide. Dat iconische verhaal

evoceert enkel de handschriftentijd. De ontdekking van de zeldzaam gedetailleerde en meticuleuze

bibliotheekcatalogus (1742) van de Roermondse kartuis Bethlehem, maakt het mogelijk de mythe van

kartuizer en boek te toetsen. Deze studie, in november 2012 in Nijmegen als proefschrift verdedigd,

onderzoekt hoe met de handschriften werd omgesprongen, hoe de ontwikkeling van de bibliotheek

ná de vijftiende eeuw verliep, en hoe die ontwikkeling beïnvloed werd door de boekenmarkt.

De analyse van het achttiende-eeuwse bibliotheekbeheer toont vervolgens hoe de kartuizers met hun

boeken omgingen in een periode die tot nu toe zowel door de wetenschappelijke literatuur als door

de bevlogen verhalen veronachtzaamd werd.

THE CARTHUSIANS IN THE LOW COUNTRIESStudies in Monastic History and Heritage

PANSTERS K. (ed.)

Most of the essays gathered in this volume evolved from papers that were delivered at a conference in

the former charterhouse Our Lady of Bethlehem in Roermond (1376). This conference was held on

the occasion of The Secret of Silence. The Hidden World of the Carthusians of Roermond (27 March –

21 June 2009), an international exhibition that explored the history and spirituality of the Carthusians,

highlighting the Order’s outstanding artworks now kept in public and private collections. The current

volume explores the history of the Carthusians and their cultural and spiritual heritage in the Low

Countries. It presents Carthusian monasticism as a multidimensional phenomenon requiring a multi-

disciplinary approach that explains the broader historical dimension of the Carthusian Order in rela-

tion to its local manifestations, cultural forms, and the centrality of its spirituality.• 2014 – Miscellanea Neerlandica 43,

THE CONTESTED LEGACY OF VATICAN IILessons and Prospects

BOEVE L., LAMBERIGTS M., MERRIGAN T. (eds)

The Second Vatican Council was the most important event in the Roman Catholic Church in the

twentieth century. In line with Pope John XXIII’s desire for aggiornamento it searched for ways to

enable the Church to meet the challenges of the times and thus prepare a future for Christian faith

and life. This search for renewal met with opposition during the Council and its reception process up

to the current day.

In this volume authors known for their research on and familiarity with the Council’s history and its

reception reflect on the (non-)reception of Vatican II in the Roman Catholic Church. Paying atten-

tion to both the wishes of the majority of the Council fathers and the often blocked implementation

of their decisions during the post-Vatican II period, they make clear that the freedom of speech that

existed during the Council soon was put aside, partly because those who where opposed to the con-

ciliar developments remained in charge after the Council.

At the same time, the contributors to this volume are of the opinion that Vatican II and its texts

continue to offer much inspiration for the life of the faithful today.

THE RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS IN THE CHURCH. A COMPARATIVE ECCLESIASTICAL APPROACHMonsignor W. Onclin Chair 2012

TORFS R. (ed.)

In the aftermath of Vatican II, questions concerning due process were not among the main issues

debated in canon law. Other topics dominated, including participation, the status of lay people, col-

legiality. Marriage was a covenant, not a contract. The Church was a community, not an institution.

A plea for a more prominent role of canon law was perceived as a lack of true pastoral spirit.

Theologians often argued that the Church had to offer more than just law, while it used to be less.

Today, the situation changed, though not completely, and at times with a lot of reluctance. This book

offers various contributions on due process: the functioning of the Apostolic Signatura and other

tribunals within the Roman Catholic Church; an historical overview of due process, covering the

evolution over many centuries; the Anglican ideas, norms and traditions; the reformed perspective.

A final address by professor Rik Torfs, contributing to the scientific development of church law, and

offering practical suggestions to the ecclesial world.

certain, elle peut aussi être l’occasion d’une évaluation critique et d’un discernement créatif. Puisse cet

FAMILY’S MANY FACES - LA FAMILLE AU PLURIELContemporary Family Patterns, Challenges for Christians – Les modèles familiaux

contemporains, défis pour les Chrétiens

DEMASURE K., CHAMPAGNE E., MARTÍNEZ DE PISÓN R., ROVERS M. (eds)

The diversity of family models presents great challenges for contemporary Christians, from ethical

point of view, as well as the spiritual level and the living together. Family patterns are in continuous

mutation which is a potential source of conflict. Many scholars, including sociologists, theologians,

psychologists, and philosophers take this subject to heart. They meet to discuss a number of issues

concerning the family: the forms of contemporary family, the future of the family or families, their

challenges and needs. This book is to promote conversation about the family between secular perspec-

tives and Christian approaches. In three parts, this volume deals with current research in the field of

human sciences. The first part discusses the structural dimension, treating the impact of attachment

theory, analyzing the investigations concerning family separation and taking into consideration con-

temporary parenting ethical issues. In the second part, relevant ethical, pastoral and psychological

issues related to contemporary tensions in the field are processed. As for the third part, it seeks the

indices, the spiritual and therapeutic pathways in the heart of the great diversity that is lived.

WORSHIP IN THE NETWORK CULTURELiturgical Ritual Studies. Fields and Methods, Concepts and Metaphors

BARNARD M., CILLIERS J., WEPENER C.

Worship signifies a wide field of liturgical ritual practices that extend from the Sunday morning ser-

vice in a mainline church through a worship service in an African Independent Church to Christian

ritual on the internet and cultural ritual-symbolic practices. Solid and solidified concepts are no longer

sufficient for the study of this liquid field. This book approaches liturgical ritual from a different

perspective. The first part of this book maps and explores the field of liturgical ritual studies. The

second part of the book takes a first step in the process of conceptualisation and elaborates on the

sensitising concept of liminality. In part three various aspects of the field are elaborated on in six

double perspectives: bricolage/particularity, language/silence, image/sound, embodiment/perform-

ance, play/function, time/space. Part four reviews the road that the book has covered to this point

from the two theological perspectives that characterise Protestant worship: Sacrament/Word and

Prayer/Worship.

MORAL BOUNDARIES REDRAWNThe Significance of Joan Tronto’s Argument for Political Theory, Professional Ethics, and

Care as Practice

OLTHUIS G., KOHLEN H., HEIER J. (eds)

Joan Tronto’s Moral Boundaries. A political Argument for an Ethic of Care (1993) is one of the most

influential works in the short history of the ethics of care. In her book Tronto rethinks ‘care’ as one

of the central activities of human life and explains that it is shaped through politics. Since it is two

decades ago that Moral Boundaries was published it seems more than worthwhile to take stock of its

significance. This volume does so. It attempts to redraw the moral boundaries Tronto discusses

and explores the impact and meaning of her thinking for care ethics as a developing discipline. This

volume celebrates the anniversary of a book. Our ‘author of honour’ is Joan Tronto herself. The

contributions of the other authors concentrate on three domains: political theory, professional ethics

and the understanding of care as practice.

LEADERSHIP, INNOVATION, AND SPIRITUALITYNULLENS P., BARENTSEN J. (eds)

In a world of managerial discourse, measurement and control, leaders and workers alike cry out for

inspiration and innovation in a way that respects their humanity. Spirituality as the search for mean-

ing and a healthy work/life balance is therefore no longer an esoteric phenomenon but part of main-

stream leadership. In this volume, two business leaders share how they have seen the need for spiritual

leadership develop at their places of work. A psychologist and a philosopher explain what spirituality

is, and how it works in the practice of business leadership. Three theologians frame spirituality by

demonstrating the benefits of Ignatian spirituality, by comparing spiritual leadership with Christ’s

offices as king, prophet and priest, and by reflecting on the human tendency to glorify the leader and

how destructive tendencies can be avoided in spiritual leadership. This maiden volume of the series

“Christian Perspectives on Leadership and Social Ethics,” is published by the Institute of Leadership

and Ethics, of the Evangelische Theologische Faculteit in Leuven (Belgium) and serves leaders to face

increasing pressure for innovation in today’s fast changing world.

SACRIFICEA Care-ethical Reappraisal of Sacrifice and Self-sacrifice

VAN NISTELROOIJ I.

Caring is a moral practice, i.e. a practice in which moral goods are realized. This is one of the critical

insights of the ethics of care. The idea that goods are also sacrificed in caregiving, however, is less

accepted or downright rejected. Starting off with real life stories, stories from literature and films, this

book shows that caregiving entails sacrifices even to the extent of sacrificing the self. This study argues

that concepts surrounding care and sacrifice need to be revised and makes proposals for re-conceptu-

alizing the subject’s identity, the intersubjective relation, the socio-political community, and the

role of meaning. Using an interdisciplinary approach that draws upon the ethics of care, theology,

phenomenology, political theory and hermeneutics, this book leads to a reappraisal of (self-)sacrifice

as vital to understanding caring. • 2015 – Ethics of Care 4

HADEWIJCH. THE COMPLETE LETTERSMOMMAERS P., DARÓCZI A.

Hadewijch, a Flemish beguine, who lived and wrote somewhere in Brabant during the thirteenth

century, has brought mystical literature as a whole to its highest point. Hadewijch’s teaching is

most accessible in her Letters, as there it is cast in a mould that succeeds in touching the senses as

well as the mind. In her text, oral and written culture combine to form an organic unity: when

Hadewijch writes, she not only builds sentences with words but composes sounds as well. In these

mystical texts, minne (“love”) is pivotal as regards both form and content – a distinction which

Hadewijch largely overrides. As regards form, minne serves as a catchword which occurs every-

where, again and again, drawing together different parts and sections. As regards content, minne is the key to the mystical experience evoked by Hadewijch and refers as much to the person who

lives the mystical union (along with the content of this feeling), as to the way in which this union

makes itself felt. This edition of Hadewijch’s Letters includes the text of the 31 letters. The English

text is not intended to be a word-for-word translation from the Middle Dutch, though it tries to

keep closely to the original. Hadewijch’s own words, phrases and turns of phrase are transposed

into the English text, especially when these are repeated and do not become a stumbling block for

the present-day reader. There is a commentary to each Letter. However, the purpose in each case

is not to accumulate the erudition of specialists or to comment on different interpretations. The

aim is to encourage a slow and loving reading of the text itself, while trying to avoid any ready-

made summary of what Hadewijch “has to say”. This edition also offers a new, sound-based lay-

out of the text which is intended to assist an appreciation of the creativity of this gifted writer

whose words and phrasing literally make music.

ZHU XI AND MEISTER ECKHART: TWO INTELLECTUAL PROFILESZHENG S.

This book attempts a comparative study between Zhu Xi (1130-1200), a Neo-Confucian master of

the Song Dynasty in China, and Meister Eckhart (1260-1328), a scholastic and mystic in the medi-

eval West. With a focus on the theme of human intellect as presented in the works of the two think-

ers, this study also explores the massive hermeneutical framework in which that concept is unfolded

in Zhu Xi and in Eckhart. Thus, the complexity of each thinker’s understanding of the human intel-

lect is demonstrated in its own context, and the common themes between them are discussed in their

own terms. Based on a systematic study of the original texts, the comparison between Zhu Xi and

Meister Eckhart goes much deeper than a general dialogue between East and West. The comparative

model of this book, based strictly on textual study, aims to develop an in-depth communication

between a scholastic Confucian mind and his equally sophisticated counterpart in Christendom, in

the hope that the intellectual brilliance and spiritual splendour of one thinker will be illuminated by

the light of the other. Probably only when one encounters a like-minded counterpart brought up in

a totally different tradition will such a mutual illumination become meaningful.

SEEING THROUGH THE EYES OF FAITHNew Approaches to the Mystagogy of the Church Fathers

VAN GEEST P. (ed.)

In the course of the past years an interest in precisely the mystagogy of the Church Fathers developed

at various Dutch universities. Interest in the mystagogy of the Church Fathers increased because it

was recognised that its study did justice both to the intention of the Church Fathers themselves and

to the increasing demand for spirituality. It was not heir primary intention to put forward a rational

reflection on the depositum fidei as such or to pass on knowledge of it as a goal in itself. Their goal

was rather to initiate a process aimed not so much at intellectual formation as at an existential trans-

formation by means of rituals, catechesis and the explanation of stories and images from Biblical

traditions. In this book the main focus was on the mystagogy of the Church Fathers. The assumption

wat that philological, historical and theological methods complement each other in the approach to

the Church Fathers as mystagogues. Consequently the manner in which they attempt to shape their

introduction into the mystery of Christ was regarded from an interdisciplinary point of view. The

contributions to this book form a first sketch of the research area of the mystagogy of the Church

Fathers, as it is taking shape at present.

THEODOTUS OF ANCYRA’S HOMILIES AND THE COUNCIL OF EPHESUS (431)FRENKEL L.M.

A substantial proportion of surviving late-antique conciliar homilies are by Theodotus, metropolitan

bishop of Ancyra. Here presented in English translation, they provide valuable evidence for an essen-

tial and effective means of communication by which councils presented and enforced themselves. The

analysis relates their content to the conciliar settings, considers the conventions of ancient rhetoric,

and reflects the reception of the texts, especially through collections of conciliar documents. The book

clarifies the regional parameters and disputes over episcopal territorial authority in which Theodotus’

theology and pastoral activity developed. Both informed his overall positive and constructive perspec-

tive on faith and the role of preachers and bishops, promoting unity and cohesion. The analysis of

Theodotus’ involvement in the First Council of Ephesus, especially in the techniques used to shape

and preserve allegiances and to defend a view or decision, contributes to an understanding of the

processes of identity formation, seeking agreement, and proclaiming consensus, even when it had not

been achieved.

verse pélagienne (416-418) forment un corpus d’une dizaine de pièces présentes dans la Correspondance augustinienne. Tantôt produites dans un cadre conciliaire, tantôt exploitant la renommée et les réseaux

épistolaires d’Augustin, elles conduisent à explorer des domaines de recherche aussi variés que l’histoire

des doctrines (formation et infléchissement des théories sur la grâce et le libre arbitre), l’histoire des

institutions tardo-antiques (et notamment cette entité, plus ou moins tangible au Vème siècle, qu’on

nomme par commodité «chancellerie ecclésiastique»), enfin la critique des textes afférents, produits

d’une épistolographie officielle qui soulève de multiples enjeux: diplomatiques et ecclésiologiques

quant à leur fond; philologiques et ecdotiques quant à leur forme et à leur transmission.

GESCHICHTE ALS ARGUMENT? HISTORIOGRAPHIE UND APOLOGETIKAkten der Tagung der Patristischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft, Basel, 2.-5.1.2013

WALLRAFF M. (ed.)

Wo wird mit Geschichtskenntnissen argumentiert? Wo wird Geschichte für theologische, politische

oder andere Zwecke nutzbar gemacht? Wo wird Geschichte interessengeleitet geschrieben? Gar in-

strumentalisiert und zurechtgebogen? Der vorliegende Band geht solchen Fragen in Bezug auf das

antike Christentum nach. Dabei kommt das Verhältnis zweier literarischer Gattungen in den Blick:

Historiographie und Apologetik. Christliche Geschichtsschreibung hat mit apologetischen Motiven

begonnen («Altersbeweis») und bleibt in unterschiedlicher Form davon geprägt. Patristiker,

Philologen, Althistoriker und Mediävisten beleuchten das Themenfeld von verschiedenen Seiten.

Die Beiträge gehen auf die Tagung der patristischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft in Basel im Jahr 2013

zurück. Die Linien werden bis in die frühe Neuzeit ausgezogen, denn die reformatorische

Historiographie und der frühe Basler Buchdruck bilden den oberen zeitlichen Horizont des Bandes.
