Book Law and Liturgy in the Latin Church  5th 12th Centuries

Download or read book Law and Liturgy in the Latin Church 5th 12th Centuries written by Roger E. Reynolds and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two themes brought together in this volume - the canon law and the liturgy of the early medieval Latin Church - have close links, as these articles reveal. At the basis of this lies that fact that the collections and manuscripts with which Professor Reynolds is concerned provide the source material for both fields of study. In the book particular emphasis is given to the Irish Collection canonum hibernensis and its many derivatives, to works from Carolingian Salzburg and eleventh-century Southern Italy, and to liturgical collections. The whole illustrates the need for liturgiologists to be aware of the riches in medieval legal sources, and for legal historians to take account of the wealth of liturgical material that is a principal ingredient of the law of the Church; and demonstrates how much one field can contribute to understanding the development and to the dating of the other. Les deux thèmes réunis dans ce volume - le droit canon et la liturgie de l’Eglise Latine du haut moyan-âge - ont, comme le révèle ce groupe d’articles, des liens très étroits. Ceci reposant sur le fait que les collections et manuscrits, auxquels le professeur Reynolds s’intéresse, apportent la substance se trouvant à la source de ces deux terrains d’études. Dans le livre, une importance particulière est donnée au Collectio canonum hibernensis irlandais et à ses multiples dérivations, ainsi qu’aux travaux issus de Salzburg à l’époque carolingienne à ceux provenant d’Italie méridionale au 11è s. et aux collections liturgiques. L’ensemble illustre la nésessité pour les spécialistes en liturgie d’être conscients de l’abondance de sources légales médiévales et pour les historiens du droit de tenir compte de la richesse en matière liturgique et que forme l’un des ingrédients principaux du droit de l’Eglise; il démontre aussi combien un domaine peut contribuer è la compréhension du développement et à l’assignation de date

Book Evening Worship in the Orthodox Church

Download or read book Evening Worship in the Orthodox Church written by N. Uspenskīĭ and published by St Vladimir's Seminary Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study on evening worship in the Orthodox Church, Nicholas Uspensky reveals the true purpose for which the service of Vespers came into existence: the ancient Christian tradition of giving thanks for the evening light, and the faith which this tradition implies concerning the presence of Christ in the midst of those gathered in His name. While tracing the evolution of the rites of Vespers and the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts from their Old Testamental antecedents to their present forms today, he calls upon liturgical commentators to stand closer to the meaning attached to the service of evening worship by the ancient Church. This valuable historical-liturgical study also discusses the Communion which is added to the Vespers in the midst of the Fast, and the differences that exist between the Greek and Russian orders of service for the sacraments of penance and the Eucharist.

Some deal with rituals relating to death, life cycles and the circulation in other contexts of objects otherwise used in the burial ritual. Others are concerned with the symbolism and ideology of royal power, the formation of a political ideology east of the Rhine from the mid-5th century onwards, and penance rituals in relation to Carolingian episcopal discourse on ecclesiastical power and morale. All deal with the creation of new identities, cultures, norms and values, and their expression in new rituals and ideas from the period of the Great Migrations through the Later Roman Empire down to the society of Beowulf and the later Carolingians.

Book Anglicanism and Orthodoxy

Download or read book Anglicanism and Orthodoxy written by Peter M. Doll and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Springing out of the Anglican Patristic revival in the seventeenth century, this College for Greek Orthodox students in Oxford enjoyed only a brief existence (1699-1705), but its history reflects a vigorous strain of ecumenical activity and theological conviction continuing to the present day. This volume collects the papers from the conference held in 2001 at Worcester College, Oxford, celebrating the three hundredth anniversary of the Greek College. The engagement between Anglicanism and Orthodoxy reveals not only the common foundations in Scripture and the Fathers on which they stand but also the divergent expressions of that shared tradition, shaped as each church has been by the contingencies of history. Relations between Anglicans and Orthodox did not stop at discussion on Biblical and Patristic theology. The papers in this collection encompass high and low politics, educational theory and practice, architecture, liturgy, ecumenism, as well as cultural imperialism and protectionism. Also included in this collection are documents related to the history of the College, among them translations of original publications previously available only in Greek. Here is to be found hope that in a better understanding of their own as well as one another's traditions, Anglicans and Orthodox may with greater confidence continue to work together towards rediscovering the unity of the Church.

Book The Perfect Servant

    Book Details:
  • Author : Kathryn M. Ringrose
  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press
  • Release : 2007-11-01
  • ISBN : 0226720160
  • Pages : 309 pages

Download or read book The Perfect Servant written by Kathryn M. Ringrose and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Perfect Servant reevaluates the place of eunuchs in Byzantium. Kathryn Ringrose uses the modern concept of gender as a social construct to identify eunuchs as a distinct gender and to illustrate how gender was defined in the Byzantine world. At the same time she explores the changing role of the eunuch in Byzantium from 600 to 1100. Accepted for generations as a legitimate and functional part of Byzantine civilization, eunuchs were prominent in both the imperial court and the church. They were distinctive in physical appearance, dress, and manner and were considered uniquely suited for important roles in Byzantine life. Transcending conventional notions of male and female, eunuchs lived outside of normal patterns of procreation and inheritance and were assigned a unique capacity for mediating across social and spiritual boundaries. This allowed them to perform tasks from which prominent men and women were constrained, making them, in essence, perfect servants. Written with precision and meticulously researched, The Perfect Servant will immediately take its place as a major study on Byzantium and the history of gender.

Book The Monastic Footprint in Post Reformation Movements

Download or read book The Monastic Footprint in Post Reformation Movements written by Kenneth C. Carveley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the influence of the monastic tradition beyond the Reformation. Where the built monastic environment had been dissolved, desire for the spiritual benefits of monastic living still echoed within theological and spiritual writing of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as a virtual exegetical template. The volume considers how the writings of monastic authors were appropriated in post-Reformation movements by those seeking a more fervent spiritual life, and how the concept of an internal cloister of monastic/ascetic spirituality influenced several Anglican writers during the Restoration. There is a careful examination of the monastic influence upon the Wesleys and the foundation and rise of Methodism. Drawing on a range of primary sources, the book will be of particular interest to scholars of monastic and Methodist history, and to those engaged in researching ecclesiology and in ecumenical dialogues.
