Book The Treatise de Spiritu Sancto  the Nine Homilies of the Hexaemeron and His Letters

Download or read book The Treatise de Spiritu Sancto the Nine Homilies of the Hexaemeron and His Letters written by Saint Basil "The Great" Archbishop of Caesarea and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Basil "the Great" was born circa 330 in Caesarea of Cappadocia, he was one of the Cappadocian Fathers along with St. Gregory of Nazianzus ("the Theologian," c. 329-389) and St. Gregory of Nyssa (c. 330-395), and who are best known for developing and perfecting the Trinitarian theology of St. Athanasius the Great (c. 295-373). St. Basil was a theologian and intellectual of the first order, but was also a consummate ecclesiastical statesman, organizer and liturgist. His work "The Treatise De Spiritu Sancto", includes the nine homilies of the Hexaemeron and his letters, and provides not only Basil's commendation of his younger brother in the ministry, but it also gives the information that it was because of a request of Amphilochius for clear instruction on the Holy Spirit that Basil determined to write this treatise. The first part of the work deals with the controversial doxologies: the one used by Basil was 'Glory to the Father with the Son and the Holy Spirit' and the other one was 'through the Son in the Holy Spirit', and thus on the importance of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. The whole treatise was developed around this central problem. At the same time chapter 10 and the following, range much more widely than the issue of the doxologies and go into the whole set of problem which had been raised by the Pneumatomachians [Heretical sect: They denied the divinity of the Holy Spirit] Through his letters and homilies Basil expounded there in a thorough way the significance of the praise of God and also refuted the reproach of tritheism [the doctrine of or belief in the three persons of the Trinity as three distinct gods]: they comprise short theological treatises and contain passages of historical and varied biographical interest, as well as valuable specimens of spiritual and consolatory exhortation. The Hexaemeron was added as being the most noted and popular of St. Basil's compositions in older days, and as illustrating his exegetic method and skill, and his power as an extempore preacher.

Book The Syriac Versions of the De Spiritu Sancto by Basil of Caesarea

Download or read book The Syriac Versions of the De Spiritu Sancto by Basil of Caesarea written by Basilius and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Basil was one of the most popular of the Greek Fathers amongst the Syrian churches, and his De Spiritu Sancto was twice translated into Syriac. The first version, made in the late fourth/early fifth centuries, survives the three manuscripts of the fifth-seventh centuries and is edited and translated here for the first time. It is a paraphrastic text and so is of theological interest in its own right. Its biblical citations are also noteworthy. The second translation, made in the seventh century, survives only in fragments and these have been collected from florilegia manuscripts and edited in parallel with the Greek text. Introductions to the two volumes explore the Syriac manuscript traditions of this work and their significance, and investigate St. Basil's contacts with Syriac-speaking Christians and the theology of the first Syriac version. Unusually, a detailed orthographic index of textual variants is also included.

  • Publisher : BRILL
  • Release : 2015-12-22
  • ISBN : 9004312943
  • Pages : 280 pages

Download or read book The Spirit of God written by Michael A.G. Haykin and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of God examines the use of 1 and 2 Corinthians by two fourth-century Greek Christian authors, Athanasius and Basil of Caesarea, especially as it relates to the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. The controversy over the nature and status of the Spirit during the latter half of the fourth century is detailed in order to place in context the examination of the way in which the theological concerns of Athanasius and Basil shaped their pneumatological interpretation of the Corinthian correspondence. This examination will be of value to patristic scholars interested in the way that Scripture was employed in the fourth century to hammer out doctrine.

  • Publisher : Rowman & Littlefield
  • Release : 2019-10-16
  • ISBN : 1978709676
  • Pages : 142 pages

Download or read book The Censored Pulpit written by Donyelle C. McCray and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-10-16 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few have consoled the church as ably as the fourteenth-century mystic Julian of Norwich. However, her prophetic gifts have received little scholarly attention. Drawing on contemporary homiletical theory and the history of Christian spirituality, Donyelle C. McCray presents Julian as a preacher, examining the apostolic dimensions of Julian’s vocation as an anchoress and highlighting the steps she took to align herself with renowned preachers like Saint Cecelia, Mary Magdalene, and the apostle Paul. Like Paul, Julian saw Jesus’ body as her primary text, placed human weakness at the center of her theology, and used her own confined body as a rhetorical tool. Yet she navigated a web of censorship that threatened to silence her. To voice her convictions, Julian developed a novel approach to authority and exploited the fluidity of the medieval English sermon genre. McCray charts this process, revealing Julian as a central personality in the history of preaching whose best contemporary parallels operate outside the pulpit in august figures like retreat leader Evelyn Underhill, gospel singer Mother Willie Mae Ford Smith, and street preacher Reverend Billy.

Book Rhetorics of Bodily Disease and Health in Medieval and Early Modern England

Download or read book Rhetorics of Bodily Disease and Health in Medieval and Early Modern England written by Jennifer C. Vaught and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susan Sontag in Illness as Metaphor and AIDS and Its Metaphors points to the vital connection between metaphors and bodily illnesses, though her analyses deal mainly with modern literary works. This collection of essays examines the vast extent to which rhetorical figures related to sickness and health-metaphor, simile, pun, analogy, symbol, personification, allegory, oxymoron, and metonymy-inform medieval and early modern literature, religion, science, and medicine in England and its surrounding European context. In keeping with the critical trend over the past decade to foreground the matter of the body and the emotions, these essays track the development of sustained, nuanced rhetorics of bodily disease and health ” physical, emotional, and spiritual. The contributors to this collection approach their intriguing subjects from a wide range of timely, theoretical, and interdisciplinary perspectives, including the philosophy of language, semiotics, and linguistics; ecology; women's and gender studies; religion; and the history of medicine. The essays focus on works by Dante, Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Donne, and Milton among others; the genres of epic, lyric, satire, drama, and the sermon; and cultural history artifacts such as medieval anatomies, the arithmetic of plague bills of mortality, meteorology, and medical guides for healthy regimens.

Book Richard of Saint Victor  On the Trinity

Download or read book Richard of Saint Victor On the Trinity written by Ruben Angelici and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-04-06 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very few in the history of the church have not struggled with the dogma of the Trinity. Those who have not dismissed it as incomprehensible gibberish have found it a battlefield for division and misunderstanding. Even Christians, who adhere to the faith of the Creeds, have often found such dogma difficult to grasp. Richard of Saint Victor, a twelfth-century Scottish monk and Prior in the Abbey of Saint Victor, is emblematic in this struggle: "I have often read that there is . . . [only] one God . . . I have also read . . . that he is one and triune . . . But I do not remember having read anything on the evidences for these assertions." Richard's theological response stems from a profoundly mystical life of prayer, which, in the Spirit, seeks to involve the mind, in continuation with the great Augustinian and Anselmian tradition. Ultimately, he presents a trinitarian model, intelligible to a Western context but which could also awake admiration from Greek theologians. Today Richard's dogmatics could represent a bridge for dialogue between different traditions. For the first time this theological masterpiece is being made available, unabridged, in English to allow a broader theological public to benefit from Richard's accomplishments. The translation offered here attempts to provide a clear and flowing text, while remaining as literally faithful as possible to the original Latin.
