Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume of the series Mariological Studies in Honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe treats the mystery of the Immaculate Conception, hidden in plain sight for nearly a thousand years prior to Bl. John Duns Scotus and his later influence at the Council of Florence. Until now, practically nothing was known of this history. Key to the present study is St. Gregory Nazianzen, whose Marian doctrine inspired Benedict XVI at a 2007 public audience: "Mary, who gave human nature to Christ, is true Mother of God and, in view of her highest mission, was 'prepurified,' as if a distant prelude of the Immaculate Conception." Fr. Kappes' groundbreaking thesis confirms Benedict's insight beyond anything previously imaginable. The person and mystery of Mary in Christ and the Church unfolds as indispensable for ecumenical theology. Greco-Latin agreement on the Immaculate Conception at Florence was itself a portent to subsequent harmony on other doctrinal questions, then, as now. As Pope Francis intensifies efforts to resolve differences between Orthodox and Catholics, Fr. Kappes' research clarifies Our Lady's central role in these efforts.

Book A Greek Thomist

  • Author : Matthew C. Briel
  • Publisher : University of Notre Dame Pess
  • Release : 2020-04-15
  • ISBN : 0268107513

Download or read book A Greek Thomist written by Matthew C. Briel and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Briel examines, for the first time, the appropriation and modification of Thomas Aquinas’s understanding of providence by fifteenth-century Greek Orthodox theologian Gennadios Scholarios. Briel investigates the intersection of Aquinas’s theology, the legacy of Greek patristic and later theological traditions, and the use of Aristotle’s philosophy by Latin and Greek Christian thinkers in the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries. A Greek Thomist reconsiders our current understanding of later Byzantine theology by reconfiguring the construction of what constitutes “orthodoxy” within a pro- or anti-Western paradigm. The fruit of this appropriation of Aquinas enriches extant sources for historical and contemporary assessments of Orthodox theology. Moreover, Scholarios’s grafting of Thomas onto the later Greek theological tradition changes the account of grace and freedom in Thomistic moral theology. The particular kind of Thomism that Scholarios develops avoids the later vexing issues in the West of the de auxiliis controversy by replacing the Augustinian theology of grace with the highly developed Greek theological concept of synergy. A Greek Thomist is perfect for students and scholars of Greek Orthodoxy, Greek theological traditions, and the continued influence of Thomas Aquinas.

Beginning with Fortescue's family background, it looks at his reactions to clerical training, and the wider scene, in Rome and Austria-Hungry at the end of the nineteenth century and the attempts of a widely read and imaginative man to adjust to the limits of priestly life in the East End of London, and the home counties in the Edwardian epoch.

Book Orthodox Readings of Aquinas

Download or read book Orthodox Readings of Aquinas written by Marcus Plested and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first exploration of the remarkable odyssey of Thomas Aquinas in the Orthodox Christian world, from the Byzantine to the modern era. Aquinas was received with astonishing enthusiasm across the Byzantine theological spectrum. By contrast, modern Orthodox readings of Aquinas have been resoundingly negative, routinely presenting Aquinas as the archetype of as a specifically Western form of theology against which the Orthodox East must set its face. Basing itself primarily on a close study of the Byzantine reception of Thomas, this study rejects such hackneyed dichotomies, arguing instead for a properly catholic or universal construal of Orthodoxy - one in which Thomas might once again find a place. In its probing of the East-West dichotomy, this book questions the widespread juxtaposition of Gregory Palamas and Thomas Aquinas as archetypes of opposing Greek and Latin theological traditions. The long period between the Fall of Constantinople and the Russian Revolution, conventionally written off as an era of sterility and malformation for Orthodox theology, is also viewed with a fresh perspective. Study of the reception of Thomas in this period reveals a theological sophistication and a generosity of vision that is rarely accounted for. In short, this is a book which radically re-thinks the history of Orthodox theology through the prism of the fascinating and largely untold story of Orthodox engagement with Aquinas.

Book Divine Essence and Divine Energies

Download or read book Divine Essence and Divine Energies written by C Athanasopoulos and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A composite book of essays from ten scholars, Divine Essence and Divine Energies provides a rich repository of diverse opinion about the essence-energy distinction in Orthodox Christianity - a doctrine which lies at the heart of the often-fraught fault line between East and West, and which, in this book, inspires a lively dialogue between the contributors. The contents of the book revolve around several key questions: In what way were the Aristotelian concepts of ousia and energeia used by the Church Fathers, and to what extent were their meanings modified in the light of the Christological and Trinitarian doctrines? What theological function does the essence-energy distinction fulfil in Eastern Orthodoxy with respect to theology, anthropology, and the doctrine of creation? What are the differences and similarities between the notions of divine presence and participation in seminal Christian writings, and what is the relationship between the essence-energy distinction and Western ideas of divine presence? A valuable addition to the dialogue between Eastern and Western Christianity, this book will be of great interest to any reader seeking a rigorously academic insight into the wealth of scholarly opinion regarding the essence-energy distinction.

Book Adversus Palamam

Download or read book Adversus Palamam written by Ιωάννης Δ Πολέμης and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains three important, so-far unpublished texts from the second half of the 14th century that refer to the palamite controversy. The first text is a treatise by George of Pelagonia, which investigates the beginnings of the controversy concerning the distinction between the nature of God and His energies. It offers a detailed account of the history of the entire period from 1330 until 1351, containing several details which are not recorded in any other contemporary source. The second text, of anonymous origin, which is addressed to a certain Raoul Palaiologos, is a detailed refutation of an unpublished treatise of the ex-emperor John Kantakouzenos. After a comparison of that refutation with the works of the well-known opponent of Gregory Palamas, John Kyparissiotes, the hypothesis that the anonymous author is to be identified with Kyparissiotes is put forward. The third text is a treatise by Prochoros Kydones, the well-known translator of Thomas Aquinas, dealing with the problem of the meaning of the divine names. Through a systematic study of the works of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and Thomas Aquinas, Prochoros Kydones proves that Palamass theory that the names of God refer only to His energies is untenable.
