      John Wyclif

      Selected Latin works in translation

      by Stephen Penn

      John Wyclif (d. 1384) was among the leading schoolmen of fourteenth-century Europe. He was an outspoken controversialist and critic of the Church, and, in his last days at Oxford, the author of the greatest heresy that England had known. This volume offers new translations of a representative selection of his Latin writings on theology, the Church and the Christian life. It provides a comprehensive view of the life of this charismatic but irascible medieval theologian, and of the development of the most prominent dissenting mind in pre-Reformation England. This collection will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students of medieval history, historical theology and religious heresy, as well as scholars in the field.

      Space and sovereignty in Anglo-Saxon England

      by Jill Fitzgerald

      Over six hundred years before John Milton's Paradise Lost, Anglo-Saxon authors told their own version of the fall of the angels. This book brings together various cultural moments, literary genres and relevant comparanda to recover that version, from the legal and social world to the world of popular spiritual ritual and belief. The story of the fall of the angels in Anglo-Saxon England is the story of a successfully transmitted exegetical teaching turned rich literary tradition. It can be traced through a range of genres - sermons, saints' lives, royal charters, riddles, devotional and biblical poetry - each one offering a distinct window into the ancient myth's place within the Anglo-Saxon literary and cultural imagination.

      The Aldine Edition of the Ancient Greek Epistolographers: Roots and Legacy

      by Julene Abad Del Vecchio

      This special issue of the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library is devoted to the Aldine edition of the Ancient Greek epistolographers. Published in Venice in 1499 by Aldus Manutius, the Aldine edition was the first printed edition of most of the thirty-six Greek letter collections that it contains. As such, it embodies the intersection between the medieval epistolary anthologies that predated it and the printed editions of Greek epistolographic collections that followed, which were primarily based on its text. In recent decades, the Aldien edition has been the subject of important works, which have sought to analyse its contents and sources. This issue explores the Aldine edition from three perspectives: its relationship to the epistolary collections found in medieval manuscripts, its relationship to the printed editions that followed it and its legacy and value for the modern scholar studying Ancient Greek epistolography.

      Seriously Dangerous Religion

      What the Old Testament Really Says and Why It Matters

      by Iain Provan

      The Old Testament is often maligned as an outmoded and even dangerous text. Best-selling authors like Richard Dawkins, Karen Armstrong, and Derrick Jensen are prime examples of those who find the Old Testament to be problematic to modern sensibilities. Iain Provan counters that such easy and popular readings misunderstand the Old Testament. He opposes modern misconceptions of the Old Testament by addressing ten fundamental questions that the biblical text should--and according to Provan does--answer: questions such as "Who is God?" and "Why do evil and suffering mark the world?" By focusing on Genesis and drawing on other Old Testament and extra-biblical sources, Seriously Dangerous Religion constructs a more plausible reading. As it turns out, Provan argues, the Old Testament is far more dangerous than modern critics even suppose. Its dangers are the bold claims it makes upon its readers. ; 1 Of Mice, and Men, and HobbitsStories, Art, and Life2 The Up Quark, the Down Quark, and Other Cool Stuff What Is the World?3 Slow to Anger, Abounding in Love, and (Thankfully) Jealous Who Is God?4 Of Humus and Humanity Who Are Man and Woman?5 It Isn't Natural Why Do Evil and Suffering Mark the World?6 On Living in a Blighted World What Am I to Do about Evil and Suffering?7 Even the Stork Knows That How Am I to Relate to God?8 Love All, Trust a Few, Do Wrong to None How Am I to Relate to My Neighbor?9 On Keeping the Earth How Am I to Relate to the Rest of Creation?10 I Saw the New Jerusalem Which Society Should I Be Helping to Build?11 A Bird Perched in the Soul What Am I to Hope For?12 Further Up and Further In New Dimensions in the Old Story13 On the Judicious Closing of the Mind The Question of Truth14 Risk Assessment Is the Story Dangerous?Postscript: Biblical Faith for a New AgeNotesBibliographyScripture IndexIndex of AuthorsSubject Index

      Figural Christology and the Fourfold Gospel Witness

      by Richard B. Hays

      In Reading Backwards Richard B. Hays maps the shocking ways the four Gospel writers interpreted Israel's Scripture to craft their literary witnesses to the Church's one Christ. The Gospels' scriptural imagination discovered inside the long tradition of a resilient Jewish monotheism a novel and revolutionary Christology.Modernity's incredulity toward the Christian faith partly rests upon the characterization of early Christian preaching as a tendentious misreading of the Hebrew Scriptures. Christianity, modernity claims, twisted the Bible they inherited to fit its message about a mythological divine Savior. The Gospels, for many modern critics, are thus more about Christian doctrine in the second and third century than they are about Jesus in the first.Such Christian "misreadings" are not late or politically motivated developments within Christian thought. As Hays demonstrates, the claim that the events of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection took place "according to the Scriptures" stands at the very heart of the New Testament's earliest message. All four canonical Gospels declare that the Torah and the Prophets and the Psalms mysteriously prefigure Jesus. The author of the Fourth Gospel puts the claim succinctly: "If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me" (John 5:46).Hays thus traces the reading strategies the Gospel writers employ to "read backwards" and to discover how the Old Testament figuratively discloses the astonishing paradoxical truth about Jesus' identity. Attention to Jewish and Old Testament roots of the Gospel narratives reveals that each of the four Evangelists, in their diverse portrayals, identify Jesus as the embodiment of the God of Israel. Hays also explores the hermeneutical challenges posed by attempting to follow the Evangelists as readers of Israel's Scripture—can the Evangelists teach us to read backwards along with them and to discern the same mystery they discovered in Israel's story?In Reading Backwards Hays demonstrates that it was Israel's Scripture itself that taught the Gospel writers how to understand Jesus as the embodied presence of God, that this conversion of imagination occurred early in the development of Christian theology, and that the Gospel writers' revisionary figural readings of their Bible stand at the very center of Christianity. ; Introduction1.

      Invitation to Christianity

      Experience and Truth

      by Olegario González de Cardedal

      True teachers have invited us to search for what they considered essential to live a full life: to seek the truth, to love the neighbor, to cultivate wisdom, to find the meaning of history and to search God. This book is an invitation to know Christianity from within. The origin of Christianity lies in the historical event of Jesus of Nazareth, who proposed a particular way of life and of truth. The experience of millions of men and women who throughout the centuries have thought about Christianity and lived it gives witness to a reality which can be intellectually thought and lived, whose practice is affable and feasible, and which remains an open and accessible path to search for Jesus Christ’s God.

      Anthropology of Christian Vocation

      From Person to Person

      by Juan Manuel Cabiedas

      The question regarding how to guide one’s own life is among the most pressing and serious questions. Both in its sacred understanding, as referring to a trascendent call, and in its lay conception, that connects the feeling of happiness to one’s self-fulfillment, the word vocation expresses the right way that a person follows to succesfully lead his or her own life. This may be the reason why, when talking about vocation, the word echoes all the elements that make up the identity of the human being: corporeity and spirituality, intelligence and sensitivity, conscience and freedom, personal biography and collective history. Without vocation, the personal being is doomed to treat oneself and to be treated with indifference.

      The Practice of Theology

      An Introduction to Theological Reflection and Its Main Figures

      by Ángel Cordovilla

      What is theology? Anyone who tries to answer this question is invited, first of all, to practice such singular science. In order to do so, she or he will have to visit the loci where theology is made, to understand the essential forms it has adopted throughout history, and to deepen into the topics its inner configuration calls for: God’s revelation, human faith, Church, Scripture, Tradition, and Magisterium. This introduction to theological reflection is written from the conviction that theology owns a unique word that only theology can say and propose as a service both to the Church and to society.

      Salvation

      A Sketch of Soteriology

      by Emilio J. Justo

      When human beings seriously reflect on their existence and the world around them, they are faced with pressing questions that require an answer. What is the meaning of my life? Why does the world exist? Is happiness possible? Why there is suffering? Why do I have to die? Is it possible to overcome guilt and redeem sin? Will someone bring justice someday? All these questions and many others ultimately point to salvation, whose goal is to overcome the evil we suffer and to achieve the fullness we long for. From a Christian perspective, salvation can also be understood as the personal participation in God’s communion.

      The Christ Always New

      The Place of Context in Christology

      by Francisco García Martínez

      Something has changed in Christology, something that causes anxiousness and worry among the shepherds and theologians that try to give reason of their faith in a time and in a society where certitudes have dwindled. However, since Christ is the same yesterday, today and always, the only and universal Salvator in history, theology, forced by Christ’s eschatological lordship, which does not despise any historical present as his own body, must look for new ways to offer today’s men and women the truth, beauty and goodness that are in store for all in God’s very depths. According to this logic, where the context becomes a provocation inviting faith and theology to be daring, the liturgical Christ reveals himself as the foundation of Christology, since it is the place where he displays his truth and living presence.

      Sguardi sulla figura di san Giuseppe

      by Antonio Autiero, Marinella Perroni

      Joseph occupies a marginal place inside the theological discourse, unlike Mary. Yet, he also reflects important issues of our time, linked to the debate on identity, relationships and functions of being in the world as men and women, and in terms of living in a church made up of men and women. Freed from hagiographic stereotypes and strictly apologetic purposes, Joseph becomes the emblem of a masculinity that is now more than ever in question: what does it mean for a male to feel himself as a subject, as a person? What does it mean to share a journey of substantial relationships and to generate life together? What does it mean to take care of the world, in the plurality of its possible expressions (politics, profession, civil commitment)? This book starts an original path, expression of the fruitful intertwining that theology intends to establish with other cultural approaches. It discloses a set of “looks” – historical, biblical, sociological, theological, pastoral ... – aimed at Saint Joseph, a figure of a masculinity that questions us. Moreover, it proposes an ideal dialogue between scholars who have accepted Pope’s invitation: Ite ad Ioseph, «Go to Joseph». Their answers can be surprising.

Green, Andrea Grillo, Adreas Heek, Michela Murgia, Paolo Naso, Cristina Oddone, Giusi Quarenghi, Simona Segoloni Ruta, Silvia Zanconato.

      A Fifth Gospel.

      by Marko Pogacnik

      This is the story of Pogacnik's discovery of a fifth gospel hidden in the sub-texts of the four other gospels. It teaches humanity how to live in the third millennium. Blending together elemental beings, earth science and Christ, the author has translated around 100 sayings of Jesus into a language that the modern mind can understand. He identifies blockages in the four gospels that have prevented the Spirit of Christ from manifesting in the past era.

      The Prayer of St. Francis

      by James F. Twyman

      This is the story of St. Francis and his journey to the Sultan in Syria, with a message of Christ's peace. Pope Innocent III had already threatened Francis with excommunication if he left for the Crusades, but Francis believed that he was following a higher call.;Francis was accompanied by a Brother Leo, who had been tasked with producing an official portrait of Francis. During the journey, Leo asked Francis to teach him everything he knew about peace. Francis agreed, and he gave Leo daily lessons, out of which grew the "Prayer of St. Francis".;When they finally arrived, the two men were immediately arrested and put into prison. When they were released, they were not taken to the executioner, but to the Sultan's palace. Francis fell to his knees in front of the Sultan and said: "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me bring love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith." The Sultan, overwhelmed by the simple faith of Francis, decided not only to spare their lives, but to let them preach wherever they wished. When they are finally ready to return, Francis viewed the portrait and was amazed to see that Leo had sketched the most beautiful portrait of Jesus. Leo explained: "I do not see you anymore. I see only Him, the face of Christ. So that is what I drew."
