Transforming Spirituality

Zas Friz de Col R., Ada: Baker Publishing, 2016

Description

In the 25 years of its existence, Studies in Spirituality has been an attentive observer of the significant changes that have taken place in the field of spirituality. During this period, research in spirituality shifted not only towards the centre of theological reflection, it has also responded to a culture that sought to go beyond the boundaries of theology, on the one hand, and to the experience of globalisation on the other. In this volume, Rossano Zas Friz De Col S.l., Professor of Spirituality at the Institute of Spirituality of the Pontifical Gregorian University (Rome), presents a list of thirty-one articles previously published in Studies in Spirituality, which, from his perspective, merit reprinting. The reader will find a collection revolving around spiritual transformation as their center. The reprinted articles are preceded by a reflection on twenty-five years of Studies in Spirituality, in which professor Zas Friz decribes how Studies in Spirituality brings spiritual transformation into focus today, and how to understand that transformation in the present globalized world.

Religious Platonism

Religious Platonism

The Influence of Religion on Plato and the Influence of Plato on Religion

James K. Fableman, London: Routledge, 2016

Description

In Plato’s Laws is the earliest surviving fully developed cosmological argument. His influence on the philosophy of religion is wide ranging and this book examines both that and the influence of religion on Plato. Central to Plato’s thought is the theory of forms, which holds that there exists a realm of forms, perfect ideals of which things in this world are but imperfect copies. In this book, originally published in 1959, Feibleman finds two diverse strands in Plato’s philosophy: an idealism centered upon the Forms denying full ontological status to the realm of becoming, and a moderate realism granting actuality equal reality with Forms. For each strand Plato developed a conception of religion: a supernatural one derived from Orphism, and a naturalistic religion revering the traditional Olympian deities

The Digital Humanities and Islamic & Middle East Studies

Elias Muhanna, Berlin: De Gruyter, 2016

Description

Over the past few decades, humanistic inquiry has been problematized and invigorated by the emergence of what is referred to as the digital humanities. Across multiple disciplines, from history to literature, religious studies to philosophy, archaeology to music, scholars are tapping the extraordinary power of digital technologies to preserve, curate, analyze, visualize, and reconstruct their research objects. The study of the Middle East and the broader Islamic world has been no less impacted by this new paradigm. Scholars are making daily use of digital tools and repositories including private and state-sponsored archives of textual sources, digitized manuscript collections, densitometrical imaging, visualization and modeling software, and various forms of data mining and analysis. This collection of essays explores the state of the art in digital scholarship pertaining to Islamic & Middle Eastern studies, addressing areas such as digitization, visualization, text mining, databases, mapping, and e-publication. It is of relevance to any researcher interested in the opportunities and challenges engendered by this changing scholarly ecosystem.

Women’s Rights and Religious Law

Women’s Rights and Religious Law

Domestic and International Perspectives

Fareda Banda, Lisa Fishbayn Joffe, London: Routledge, 2016

Description

The three Abrahamic faiths have dominated religious conversations for millennia but the relations between state and religion are in a constant state of flux. This relationship may be configured in a number of ways. Religious norms may be enforced by the state as part of a regime of personal law or, conversely, religious norms may be formally relegated to the private sphere but can be brought into the legal realm through the private acts of individuals. Enhanced recognition of religious tribunals or religious doctrines by civil courts may create a hybrid of these two models. One of the major issues in the reconciliation of changing civic ideals with religious tenets is gender equality, and this is an ongoing challenge in both domestic and international affairs. Examining this conflict within the context of a range of issues including marriage and divorce, violence against women and children, and women’s political participation, this collection brings together a discussion of the Abrahamic religions to examine the role of religion in the struggle for women’s equality around the world. The book encompasses both theory and practical examples of how law can be used to negotiate between claims for gender equality and the right to religion. It engages with international and regional human rights norms and also national considerations within countries. This book will be of great relevance to scholars and policy makers with an interest in law and religion, gender studies and human rights law.

Group Identity & Religious Individuality in Late Antiquity

Publié le par Luciana Soares

Group Identity & Religious Individuality in Late Antiquity

Éric Rebillard & Jörg Rüpke, Washington: The Catholic University of America Press, 2015

Description

To understand the past, we necessarily group people together and, consequently, frequently assume that all of its members share the same attributes. In this ground-breaking volume, Eric Rebillard and Jörg Rüpke bring renowned scholars together to challenge this norm by seeking to rediscover the individual and to explore the dynamics between individuals and the groups to which they belong. Instead of taking religious groups as their point of departure, the authors in Group Identity and Religious Individuality in Late Antiquity address the methodological challenges attached to a rescaling of the analysis at the level of the individual. In particular, they explore the tension between looking for evidence about individuals and taking individuals into account when looking at evidence. Too often, the lack of direct evidence on individuals is used as a justification for taking the group as the unit of analysis. However, evidence on group life can be read with individuals as the focal point. What it reveals is how complex is the interaction of group identity and religious individuality. The questions examined by these authors include the complex relationships between institutional religions and religious individuals, the possibility of finding evidence on individual religiosity and exploring the multiplicity of roles and identities that characterizes every individual. Shifting the attention towards individuals also calls into question the assumption of groups and invites the study of group-making process. The result is a picture that makes room for dynamic tension between group identity and religious individuality.

Porphyrios. Contra Christianos

Publié le par Luciana Gabriela Soares Santoprete

Porphyrios, ‘Contra Christianos’.

Neue Sammlung der Fragmente, Testimonien

und Dubia mit Einleitung, Übersetzung und Anmerkungen

Matthias Becker, Boston: De Gruyter, 2016

Beschreibung

Die Sammlung, Selektion und Anordnung der Fragmente und Testimonien der porphyrianischen Schrift Gegen die Christen (entstanden nach 270/271 n.Chr.) gestaltet sich seit über 100 Jahren schwierig: Nicht alle Texte, die Adolf von Harnack (1916) und andere dieser Schrift zugeordnet haben, können Porphyrios sicher zugewiesen werden. Die vorliegende neue Sammlung bietet nicht nur einen aktualisierten Bestand von 132 Texten, welcher die neuesten Forschungsergebnisse aufgreift, sondern auch eine Textzusammenstellung, die erstmals zwischen authentischen Fragmenten und Testimonien einerseits und Dubia andererseits unterscheidet. Die Partien des anonymen Hellenen aus dem Apokritikos des Makarios Magnes, welche in alle bisherigen Ausgaben von Contra Christianos aufgenommen wurden, sind aus dem Textbestand ausgeschieden. Durch die deutsche Übersetzung und Erstkommentierung werden die überlieferten Textbruchstücke vollständig erschlossen. Zudem wird Contra Christianos in den größeren Zusammenhang einer Konkurrenz zwischen paganen Platonikern und Christen eingebettet und als Zeugnis einer Bedrohungskommunikation des Porphyrios interpretiert.

The Monastic Origins of the Nag Hammadi Codices

Publié le par Luciana Gabriela Soares Santoprete

The Monastic Origins of the Nag Hammadi Codices

Hugo Lundhaug, Lance Jenott, Heidelberg: Mohr Siebeck, 2015

Description

Hugo Lundhaug and Lance Jenott offer a sustained argument for the monastic provenance of the Nag Hammadi Codices. They examine the arguments for and against a monastic Sitz imLeben and defend the view that the Codices were produced and read by Christian monks, mostlikely Pachomians, in the fourth- and fifth-century monasteries of Upper Egypt. Eschewing themodern classification of the Nag Hammadi texts as “Gnostic,” the authors approach the codicesand their ancient owners from the perspective of the diverse monastic culture of late antiqueEgypt and situate them in the context of the ongoing controversies over extra-canonicalliterature and the theological legacy of Origen. Through a combination of sources, includingidealized hagiographies, travelogues, monastic rules and exhortations, and the more quotidiandetails revealed in documentary papyri, manuscript collections, and archaeology, monasticismin the Thebaid is brought to life, and the Nag Hammadi codices situated within it. Thecartonnage papyri from the leather covers of the codices, which bear witness to the monasticculture of the region, are closely examined, while scribal and codicological features of thecodices are analyzed and compared with contemporary manuscripts from Egypt. Specialattention is given to the codices’ scribal notes and colophons which offer direct evidence of their producers and users. The study ultimately reveals the Nag Hammadi Codices as acollection of books completely at home in the monastic manuscript culture of late antiqueEgypt.

Contre les manichéens – Titus de Bostra

Corpus Christianorum in Translation

Contre les manichéens – Titus de Bostra

P.-H. Poirier, A. Roman, T. Schmidt (eds.), Turnhout: Brepolis, 2015, 483 p.

Description

Rédigé en 363-364, le traité Contre les manichéens de Titus de Bostra est la plus importante réfutation chrétienne du manichéisme. Elle se distingue par sa composition en deux volets (réfutation rationnelle et réfutation scripturaire) et par la richesse de sa documentation (on y dénombre quelque 150 « citations manichéennes »). Préservé en grec aux deux-tiers et intégralement dans une version syriaque de la fin du IVe ou du début du Ve siècle, cet ouvrage est d’une importance capitale pour l’histoire de la théologie chrétienne ancienne et du manichéisme. Ce volume offre une double traduction française annotée du grec et du syriaque, la première dans une langue moderne, établie sur une base philologique sûre. L’édition critique gréco-syriaque et sa traduction française permettent désormais une nouvelle approche des sources manichéennes et de leur réfutation. Le texte qui a servi de base à cette traduction est celui qui a paru dans la Series Graeca du Corpus Christianorum comme Titus Bostrensis – Contra Manichaeos Libri IV (CCSG 82, 2013). Il s’agissait de la première édition critique synoptique intégrale des textes grec et syriaque de cette oeuvre, accompagnée d’une édition critique des extraits préservés en grec dans les Sacra Parallela de Jean Damascène.

L’identité à travers l’éthique

Nouvelles perspectives sur la formation des identités

collectives dans le monde gréco-romain

Berthelot, R. Naiweld, D. Stökl Ben Ezra (eds.), Turnhout: Brepolis, 2015

Description

Le rôle joué par les discours, les valeurs et les catégories éthiques dans la formation des identités collectives, dans le monde gréco-romain, et au-delà de ses frontières, notamment dans le monde sassanide. Ce livre réunit dix articles rédigés par des spécialistes des religions et des écoles philosophiques de l’Antiquité, qui s’interrogent sur le rôle des discours, des valeurs et des catégories éthiques dans la formation des identités collectives au sein du monde gréco-romain. Ce questionnement nous a paru nécessaire dans le contexte actuel de la recherche historique sur l’Antiquité tardive. En effet, dans l’histoire de la recherche, la problématique de l’identité a principalement été abordée via l’étude des facteurs doctrinaux, rituels, institutionnels ou politiques. Il nous a semblé que le facteur éthique n’avait pas encore bénéficié d’une attention suffisante. Notre but a été d’examiner comment les différents groupes philosophiques et religieux (dans la mesure où l’on peut nettement les distinguer dans le contexte de l’Antiquité tardive) ont mobilisé des notions et des valeurs éthiques dans le processus, parfois inconscient, de la formation de leur identité.
