Download or read book Les Fins Derni res Selon Orig ne written by Henri Crouzel and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is concerned with the eschatology of Origen, the great 3rd century theologian and philosopher of Alexandria. Of all the doctrines attributed to him, those on the resurrection of man and the end of days have evoked the most opposition and controversy, from Antiquity to the Patristic scholarship of today. Professor Crouzel argues that the thought of Origen himself has been consistently misunderstood and distorted, from the time of Methodius of Olympia onwards, and that renewed examination of Origen's own surviving writings can lead to a radically differing assessment of the orthodoxy of his views. Among the particular points discussed are Origen's doctrine of Purgatory, commonly supposed to be a particularity of the Latin Church, and the relationship in his thought between the final purification at the end of time and the spiritual purification of existence here on earth. Ce volume traite de l’eschatologie d’Origène, le grand théologian et philosophe alexandrin du IIIe siècle. De toutes les doctrines qui lui sont attribuées, ce sont celles sur la resurrection de l’homme et a la fin des jours qui ont provoqué le plus d’oppositionet de controverse de l’Antiquitié jusqu’à notre époque. Le Père Henri Crouzel maintient que la pensée veritable d’Origène à été constamment mal interpretéee et corrompue et ce, dès l’époque de Méthode d’Olympe. Selon l’auteur, un nouvel examen des écrits d’Origène peut mener à une appréciation totalement différente de l’orthodoxie du theeologien. Parmi les points spécifiques debattus sont: la doctrine d’Origène sur la purgatoire - communément supposée être un domaine latin - et sur le rapport, dans ses pensées, entre l’ultime purificationde la fin des temps et celle, d’ordre spirituel, de l’existence ici-bas sur terre.

Download or read book Homilies on the Psalms written by Origen and published by Catholic University of America Press. This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012 Dr. Marina Marin Pradel, an archivist at the Bayerische Stattsbibliotek in Munich, discovered that a thick 12th-century Byzantine manuscript, Codex Monacensis Graecus 314, contained twenty-nine of Origen’s Homilies on the Psalms, hitherto considered lost. Lorenzo Perrone of the University of Bologna, an internationally respected scholar of Origen, vouched for the identification and immediately began work on the scholarly edition that appeared in 2015 as the thirteenth volume of Origen’s works in the distinguished Griechische Christlichen Schrifsteller series. In an introductory essay Perrone provided proof that the homilies are genuine and demonstrated that they are, astonishingly, his last known work. Live transcripts, these collection homilies constitute our largest collection of actual Christian preaching from the pre-Constantinian period. In these homilies, the final expression of his mature thought, Origen displays, more fully than elsewhere, his understanding of the church and of deification as the goal of Christian life. They also give precious insights into his understanding of the incarnation and of human nature. They are the earliest example of early Christian interpretation of the Psalms, works at the heart of Christian spirituality. Historians of biblical interpretation will find in them the largest body of Old Testament interpretation surviving in his own words, not filtered through ancient translations into Latin that often failed to convey his intense philological acumen. Among other things, they give us new insights into the life of a third-century Greco-Roman metropolis, into Christian/Jewish relations, and into Christian worship. This translation, using the GCS as its basis, seeks to convey, as faithfully as possible, Origen’s own categories of thought. An introduction and notes relate the homilies to the theology and principles of interpretation in Origen’s larger work and to that work’s intellectual context and legacy.

Download or read book Between Personal and Institutional Religion written by Bruria Bitton-Ashkelony and published by Brepols Pub. This book was released on 2013 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses change and continuity in late antique Eastern Christianity, as perceived through the lens of the categories of institutional religion and personal religion. The interaction between personal devotion and public identity reveals the creative aspects of a vibrant religious culture that altered the experience of Christians on both a spiritual and an institutional level. A close look at the interrelations between the personal and the institutional expressions of religion in this period attests to an ongoing revision of both the patristic literature and the monastic tradition. By approaching the period in terms of 'revision', the contributors discuss the mechanism of transformation in Eastern Christianity from a new perspective, discerning social and religious changes while navigating between the dynamics of personal and institutional religion. Recognizing the creative aspects inherent to the process of 'revision', this volume re-examines several aspects of personal and institutional religion, revealing dogmatic, ascetic, liturgical, and historiographical transformations. Attention is paid to the expression of the self, the role of history and memory in the construction of identity, and the modification of the theological discourse in late antique culture. The book also explores several avenues of Jewish-Christian interaction in the institutional and public sphere.

Download or read book Scriptures Sacred Traditions and Strategies of Religious Subversion written by Moshe Blidstein and published by . This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles in this volume discuss polemically charged re-evaluations of the religious traditions and scriptures of the Western world, employed throughout the centuries in various religious contexts. These studies consider new religious outlooks not as glosses on inherited traditions, but as acts of power exercised in the struggle for identity: contestation, appropriation, interpretation and polemics against the religious "other", involving, sometimes covertly, critiques of inherited tradition. The volume outlines a typology of the variety of attested strategies, highlighting cases of borderline extremes involving subversions of mainstream forms of belief as well as elucidating more moderate avenues of interaction. Most of the studies were presented at a 2016 conference in Jerusalem honouring Guy G. Stroumsa, a renowned scholar of early Christianity and Late Antiquity, recipient of many scholarly awards, including the Leopold Lucas Prize 2018.

Book excerpt: "That there were various ways of interaction between different groups in Graeco-Roman Egypt cannot be doubted, as a number of more or less recent regional studies have further reinforced. And as is well-known, Egypt emerges as a sort of exception in the study of ancient cultures and religions because it provides scholars with the opportunity to draw on a great number and variety of documents. Exploring interactively the diversity of documentary material is the main aim of this book. In socio-cultural terms, such an analysis corroborates the image of Egypt as a pervasive cultural system where for many centuries different elites coagulated themselves around a number of standard modalities to produce "cultural" and "religious" micro-systems. This shows that people, even when different languages and textual practices survive, respond to specific modalities of cohabitation under the umbrella of this hegemonic cultural "field.""--

Download or read book L immagine di Dio nell uomo written by Henry Wood and published by A.R.Ribeiro. This book was released on with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemplare il Divino ci porta a riflettere sulla capacità umana di comprendere ciò che trascende la nostra realtà. Nell'avvicinarci all'Infinito, dobbiamo farlo con l'innocenza dei bambini, riconoscendo i nostri limiti. Spesso la nostra percezione è offuscata dal materialismo e dalla fragilità del linguaggio, che non riesce a cogliere la grandezza dell'essenza divina. La natura di Dio, descritta come Amore e Sapienza, è spesso distorta da concetti che lo umanizzano, come Sovrano e Giudice, che riflettono più le mancanze umane che la sua vera natura. Queste visioni distorte, alimentate dai sistemi teologici, generano una comprensione di Dio che ispira paura e distanza. Tuttavia, nelle tradizioni spirituali viene offerta una comprensione di Dio più amorevole e paterna, che promuove una connessione più stabile tra la nostra salute mentale e fisica e il modo in cui percepiamo la Divinità. La comprensione di Dio va oltre la logica e i rituali; richiede un'esperienza spirituale che dissolva l'idolatria delle conquiste materiali. La necessità di ridefinire Dio come Spirito e fonte di vita è urgente per guarire le distorsioni che persistono nelle menti umane. L'antropomorfismo nella concezione di Dio limita la nostra visione dell'Essere Infinito, rendendolo finito e inadeguato. La vera adorazione deve essere fatta “in spirito e verità” e non dobbiamo attribuire a Dio i dolori e le sofferenze del mondo, perché Egli è il bene assoluto. La vera comprensione spirituale ci porta a vedere la realtà e a riconoscere che siamo esseri essenzialmente spirituali. Attraverso l'unità con il Divino, ci liberiamo dalle limitazioni materiali, sperimentando l'amore e la realizzazione di Dio. La natura si rivela come una manifestazione del Divino e osservare il mondo solo come materia ci fa perdere la sua essenza spirituale. La scienza, concentrata sulle leggi fisiche, ignora questa connessione vitale. Per una vera comprensione, la natura e lo spirito devono essere visti come un'unità. Così facendo, la bellezza e l'armonia naturali diventano riflessi dell'essenza divina. La vita ordinaria contrasta con la ricerca di elevazione spirituale che si manifesta in pensieri elevati. Così come la natura offre lezioni di trasformazione e resurrezione, anche noi siamo invitati a trascendere le illusioni sensoriali e a connetterci con il mondo divino. La comprensione dell'incarnazione divina è una risposta alla ricerca umana di un legame con lo spirituale, uno stimolo a trasformare la religiosità superficiale in un'esperienza concreta di amore e connessione. Ciò che vediamo come reale è spesso un'illusione; la vera vita emana dalla nostra connessione con il Divino, che risiede dentro di noi. La trasformazione spirituale richiede il riconoscimento di questa essenza e il superamento delle limitazioni imposte dall'ego. L'amore è l'unica Legge universale e l'evoluzione spirituale culmina nella consapevolezza che “Dio è Amore”, unificando tutte le esperienze della vita. Il progresso spirituale non è automatico, ma è il risultato di un'aspirazione sincera. La vita cosciente si basa sulle relazioni umane e, nel servire gli altri, riveliamo la nostra vera essenza. L'autentica vita spirituale è una continua manifestazione di amore e servizio, che trascende le norme sociali e rivela l'interconnessione tra tutti noi. Su questa strada, le divisioni tra giusto e sbagliato sono superate dall'amore e tutti sono chiamati ad abbracciare l'unità. A.R.Ribeiro. Biblioteca del Nuovo Pensiero
