Abstract

In The Feminine Messiah: King David in the Image of the Shekhina in Kabbalistic Literature , Ruth Kara-Ivanov Kaniel presents an in-depth study focusing on the centrality of the figure of King David in Jewish culture and mystical literature. King David is one of the most colorful, complex, and controversial personalities in Jewish lore. While numerous studies have focused on David's centrality to biblical literature and late antiquity, to date no comprehensive scholarly attempt has been made to investigate his image in Jewish kabbalistic literature. This innovative study also contributes to the understanding of the connection between the mystical and psychoanalytic perception of the self, as well as illuminating issues of gender fluidity, identity, and sexuality in medieval kabbalistic literature.

Abstract

L’islam offre deux visages : celui d’un monothéisme abstrait, où domine la transcendance de Dieu, au risque d’engendrer le fanatisme. Mais aussi, et surtout, celui, plus discret, mais non moins insistant, d’un monothéisme concret, qui valorise la manifestation visible de l’essence de Dieu dans l’apparition sensible des actions divines. Dans cette étude pionnière qui surprendra par sa liberté de ton, Souâd Ayada renouvelle en profondeur notre connaissance des systèmes de pensée qui ont fondé l’islam des théophanies. Un modèle de sagesse aux antipodes de l’austérité coranique, selon lequel Dieu se donne à voir par l’entremise de l’« homme parfait » et par toutes les formes de beauté qui révèlent sa majesté. Réconciliant l’amour, l’intelligence et la connaissance, cette conception de la révélation, notamment portée par le soufisme, préserve l’islam de toute dérive juridique et politique, et accorde à l’art toute sa place. Elle constitue l’antidote que l’islam a lui-même produit pour guérir le mal du dogmatisme et l’intolérance. Dévoilant les impasses et les contradictions du fondamentalisme, dialoguant avec les sources juives et chrétiennes, confrontant le message du soufisme à la philosophie de Hegel ou à la pensée d’Emmanuel Levinas, Souâd Ayada signe un livre essentiel, en forme de plaidoyer pour une approche audacieuse, exigeante et ouverte de l’islam.

Abstract

Gods aanwezigheid in de wereld is allesbehalve vanzelfsprekend. Vindplaatsen van God zijn schaars geworden. Ook voor wie gelooft dat God zich in de mens Jezus heeft meegedeeld, is het goddelijke niet zomaarte ontwaren in het menselijke zien en aanraken. Wie de Onzichtbare in het zichtbare wil ontdekken, dient zich hiertoe een bijzondere wijze van waarnemen en benaderen eigen te maken. Symbolen, sacramenten en rituele handelingen van de religieuze gemeenschap vormen plaatsen en momenten om de aandacht te scherpen en ontmoeting mogelijk te maken. Want, evenals in het alledaagse leven, komt God ons eerder in stille glans dan in verblindende helderheid nabij. De bijdragen in dit boek gaan op zoek naar sporen van het goddelijke licht in het menselijk bestaan en in de sacramentele praxis van de christelijke gemeenschap. Met deze feestbundel willen collega's en vrienden hulde betuigen aan Lambert Leijssen die gedurende vele jaren sacramentologie en liturgiewetenschappen aan de K.U.Leuven heeft gedoceerd, en in 2007 met emeritaat is gegaan. Doorheen zijn onderwijs- en onderzoeksactiviteiten heeft hij ons op zijn eigen bescheiden wijze als geen ander op Gods 'stille glans' in de wereld attent gemaakt. (Bron: covertekst)

Abstract

Early Christians interpreted the biblical theophany narratives as manifestations of Christ, yet Augustine challenged and reconfigured this view. Developing over centuries into two major exegetical strands, the transformation of theophany interpretation reveals the critical and adaptive capacity of patristic exegesis.

Abstract

With the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple and the exile of members of the Israelite community to the land of its enemies, whose gods were represented as divine statues, the prophet Ezekiel faced a challenge: how to respond to the enemies’ taunts that Israel’s God was absent, whereas the foreigners’ gods self-evidently were present. Thus, to ask the question, “Where is God” was to face several complex and tangled problems. How is God to be represented? How is Yahweh to be differentiated from other deities? What is Yahweh’s relationship to Israel in exile?Kutsko sets out to answer these questions within the theme of divine presence and absence, particularly as it relates to the kabod theology in Ezekiel. He shows that God’s absence becomes, for Ezekiel, an argument for his presence and power, while the presence of idols indicated their absence and impotence. Ezekiel extends this proposition into a corollary: God’s presence is not consigned to sanctuary, for God is a sanctuary. In this regard, absence from the Temple is a message of judgment and the precursor to a message of restoration. If God can become a sanctuary, his presence in exile becomes a message of victory even over imperial powers. This conceptualization of Yahweh, then, ends up defining the power and position of Israel’s God in distinctively universal terms. In this contribution, the book of Ezekiel plays a central and previously unappreciated role in the development of Israelite theology, and monotheism in particular.
