Download or read book Leontius of Jerusalem written by Leontius (of Jerusalem) and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2006-05-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Leontius of Jerusalem is known almost entirely for contributions to technical Christology in his Against the Nestorians. Yet his little-known and little-studied Testimonies of the Saints and Aporiae - presented here in full for the first time in a text based on the only textually-significant manuscript, and with a translation into modern English - have their own intrinsic interest. Both were addressed to a specific audience of anti-Chalcedonian ('Monophysite') churchmen, Syrians who considered the exiled patriarch of Antioch, Severus, to be their leader. Both were aimed at inducing anti-Chalcedonians to accept reconciliation with the official, Chalcedonian church at the time (the mid-530s) when the failure of initiatives sponsored by the Emperor Justinian suggested that outright separation was imminent, and new imperial initiatives were undertaken."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: The account of an event as reported by an admirer is bound to be different from the description of the same event as preserved by a critic. This indeed is as true of the council of Chalcedon and the split which it engendered in the Church as any other incident in history. Whereas scholars in the western world have sought to perpetuate a more or less appreciative view of the council, there are churches in the east which from those ancient times to this day have categorically repudiated it. What is attempted in the present work is not a defence of either of these two positions. In fact, while being critical of the pro-Chalcedonian point of view, it expresses disagreement with the traditional standpoint adopted officially by the non-Chalcedonian churches on a few significant points. It contains, in short, the author's findings made on the basis of a study of the relevant documents in their originals, and it endeavours to show that the story of Chalcedon as it has been propagated by the western and the Byzantine ecclesiastical traditions needs clearly to be modified. It implies also the plea that the decisions taken in ancient times with reference to the Christological controversy, whatever justification men in the past may have seen in them, have to be re-examined and reappraised in our times. This work has a history of its own. Its author, a member of one of the Orthodox churches of the east which have refused to accept the council of Chalcedon, has had his initiation into the study of Church history by his reading of the Syriac works on the subject by Gregory Bar Hebraeus and Michael the Syrian. This had enabled him to be conversant with the issues connected with the council of Chalcedon in a particular way. Subsequently, by the reading of the works of Duchesne, Kidd, Hefele, and others, he became acquainted with the pro-Chalcedonian version of the Christological controversy. But it is only during his studies both at the Union Theological Seminary, New York, and at the Yale University Divinity School between the years 1953 and 1957 that he could work with the documents referred to by western historical scholars. He was introduced to this study by the Very Reverend Professor Georges Florovsky of the Byzantine Orthodox Church and guided in his research by Professor Robert L. Calhoun of the Yale University, to both of whom he is most sincerely grateful. Under the direction of the latter the author wrote his Ph.D. dissertation on the Council of Chalcedon and the Christology of Severus of Antioch which the Yale University Graduate School accepted in 1957. Although some of the materials in the dissertation have been adapted and used in the present work, this is an independent book prepared after a great deal of further study and experience. During this latter period of study the author has utilized, in addition to the Serampore and Bangalore libraries in India and the Addis Ababa Library, the Bodleian Library, Oxford; the British Museum Library, London; the Library of the Ecumenical Institute, Bossey; and the Library of the Jesuit College, Louvain. In this way he has worked with the Greek documents relating to the council of Chalcedon in Schwartz instead of Mansi which he had used earlier, most of the documents in Syriac published since the time he had completed his Ph.D. dissertation by the Corpus Scriptorum Christianorum Orientalium and Patrologia Orientalis, and a number of studies on the subject brought out in the western world during the last several decades. Since 1964 the author has taken part in almost all the various meetings of the Unofficial Consultation of Theologians of the Eastern (Byzantine) and the Oriental (Non-Chalcedonian) Orthodox Churches, as well as in two meetings of the latter and the Roman Catholic Church presenting papers in each of them. The papers prepared for and read at the former meetings have all been published in the Greek Orthodox Theological Review, Brookline, Massachusetts,
Download or read book Describing the Hand of God written by Robert Brennan and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of divine agency in the world remains one important unresolved underlying obstacle in the dialogue between theology and science. Modern notions of divine agency are shown to have developed out of the interaction of three factors in early modernity. Two are well known: late medieval perfect-being theology and the early modern application of the notion of the two books of God's revelation to the understanding of the natural order. It is argued the third is the early modern appropriation of theAugustinian doctrine of inspiration. This assumes the soul's existence and a particular description of divine agency in humans, which became more generally applied to divine agency in nature. Whereas Newton explicitly draws the parallel between divine agency in humans and that in nature, Darwin rejects its supposed perfection and Huxley raises serious questions regarding the traditional understanding of the soul. This book offers an alternative incarnational description of divine agency, freeing consideration of divine agency from being dependent on resolving the complex issues of perfect-being theology and the existence of the soul. In conversation with Barth's pneumatology, this proposal is shown to remain theologically coherent and plausible while resolving or avoiding a range of known difficulties in the science-theology dialogue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyril of Alexandria was one of the earliest Christian apologetics as he fought against many types of false teaching varying in degree. Although the teachings that he was very carefully refuting were not really Gnostic in thought it is easy to see the Gnostic areas of influence that many of this opponents had. These various books collected here are presented to make it easier not only to read the truth as was needed back in the early church but also the arguments set forth by Cyril so that we can learn from the past and not fall into the same schools of false teaching today.
Download or read book The Omnipresence of Jesus Christ written by Theodore Zachariades and published by Authentic Media Inc. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book reassesses the classic Chalcedonian view of Jesus: "one person, two natures". It carefully rejects all forms of kenotic Christology and affirms that Jesus possessed and used all the divine attributes, in particular, that of omnipresence, arguing that evangelical scholars have abandoned this important truth. This has ramifications for our view of the Holy Spirit and of Christ's presence with his people. It challenges us to read the Scriptures again and to live in the presence of Jesus. - Publisher Commendation: "In this important study of orthodox Christology, Dr Zachariades develops an aspect of it that has generally been neglected. How should we understand the universal presence of the risen, ascended an glorified Christ? Starting with the controversies of the early church, he takes us through the questions involved in the discussion and points us to a deeper understanding of how Christ is both God and man at the same time." Gerald L. Bray, Research Professor of Divinity, History and Doctrine, Beeson Divinity School, USA

Download or read book Methods and Methodologies written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-11-26 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methods and Methodologies explores two questions about studying the Aristotelian tradition of logic. The first, addressed by the chapters on methods in the first half of the book, is directly about the medieval logical commentaries, treatises and handbooks. How did medieval authors in the different traditions, Latin and Arabic, go about their work on Aristotelian logic? In particular, how did they themselves conceive the relationship between logic and other branches of philosophy and disciplines outside philosophy? The second question is about methodologies, the subject of the chapters in the second half of the book: it invites writers to reflect on their own and their colleagues’ practice as twenty-first century interpreters of this medieval writing on Aristotelian logic. Contributors are Sten Ebbesen, Christopher J. Martin, Christophe Erismann, Andrew Arlig, Simo Knuuttila, Amos Bertolacci, Jennifer Ashworth, Paul Thom, Gyula Klima, Matteo di Giovanni and Margaret Cameron.
