Les battements du cœur, l'alternance des jours et des saisons, les lundis matins ... Notre vie est faite de répétitions. Qu'en est-il de la répétition dans le langage ? Longtemps délaissée, la répétition verbale est aujourd'hui traitée dans de nombreuses études qui en appréhendent chacune un aspect particulier : les figures ou les procédés, les auteurs, les types de textes ou les genres de discours. C'est l'apport et l'originalité de cet ouvrage de présenter pour la première fois une définition unitaire. Qu'est-ce qui change quand des sons, des mots, des phrases sont dits plusieurs fois ? En quoi la parole sert-elle autre chose que la transmission d'informations ? Pourquoi la répétition est-elle utilisée dans les pratiques poétiques, politiques, religieuses et magiques ? Ce sont ces questions et bien d'autres que l'auteure, qui réfléchit et écrit depuis des années sur la répétition verbale, aborde et éclaire dans cet ouvrage. Écrit dans une perspective largement interdisciplinaire, ce livre s'adresse, au-delà des linguistes, à tous ceux et celles qui dans les sciences humaines s'intéressent au pouvoir des mots. Heartbeats, alternation of night and day or seasons, Monday mornings ... Our lives are made of repetitions. But what about repetition in language? Verbal repetition, long neglected as an area of study, is today being examined through numerous studies that tackle its specific aspects: approaches based on figures, authors, texts or type of speech. For the first time, a unitary definition of repetition is presented. What changes when sounds, words, phrases are said multiple times? How does speech serve anything other than the transmission of information? Why is repetition used in lyrical, political, religious and magical practices? These questions and many more are presented and examined by the author, who has been thinking and writing for years about verbal repetition. Written from a broadly interdisciplinary perspective, this book is aimed not only at.

"Surveys the various ways Scripture depicts the mediation of the divine to humanity, situating the Christian doctrine of incarnation at the center of God's will for reconciliation and for full human flourishing"--

The doctrine of the incarnation stands at the heart of Christian faith and formation. Perhaps for that very reason, Christian claims about the incarnation are hotly contested. Specifically, a common critique of the orthodox doctrine holds that the belief that God's becoming flesh in the person of Jesus is a universally significant event causes problems in an increasingly pluralistic world. Some argue that the doctrine supports injustice, others say that it is logically incoherent, and still others find it implausible. Rebecca L. Copeland undertakes to recover the essence of traditional Christian convictions about the person of Christ. Instead of tempering christological claims to avoid such problems, Created Being argues that it is not the doctrine itself presenting these challenges--rather, the challenges emerge from readings of the doctrine that privilege humanity and, more particularly, maleness. Copeland thus offers a reconstructed Christology that is faithful to creedal insights while answering the justice, coherence, and plausibility challenges raised, all while providing an understanding of Christ's "consubstantiality" that is inclusive of the entire created order. Feminist and ecotheological critiques further aid in reclaiming the significance of the incarnation for all members of creation. Homo sapiens, Copeland asserts, are not at the center of the universe, and neither should we occupy the central interpretive role for understanding Christ's importance. Engaging the perspectives of all domains of "being," this volume dismantles rigid hierarchies and brings ancient insights into the proper relationships among God, human and creaturely beings, and nature. Created Being presents a cosmic understanding of Christ without losing sight of the particularities of Jesus' personhood. In doing so, this book lays the foundation for a universal soteriology and an ethic poised to address the particular needs of the twenty-first century.

Being divine seems to entail being omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, but the New Testament portrays Jesus as having human properties. It seems logically impossible that any single individual could possess such mutually exclusive sets of properties. A Kryptic Model of the Incarnation aims to provide a critical reflection of these challenges and to offer a compelling response integrating aspects from analytic philosophy of religion, systematic theology, and historical-critical studies.
