Abstract

In Jewish Aramaic Poetry from Late Antiquity , Laura Suzanne Lieber offers annotated translations of sixty-nine poems written between the 4th and 7th century C.E. in the Land of Israel, along with commentaries and introductions. The poems celebrate a range of occasions from the ritual year and the life-cycle: Passover, Shavuot (Pentacost), the Ninth of Av, Purim, the New Moon of Nisan, the conclusion of the Torah, weddings, and funerals. Written in the vernacular of the Jews of living in Palestine after the Christianization of the Roman Empire, these works offer insight into lived Jewish experience during a pivotal age. The volume contextualizes the individual works so that readers from a range of backgrounds can appreciate the formal, linguistic, exegetical, theological, and performative creativity of these works.

Abstract

Meals are hot. Eucharistie en Avondmaal, maar ook onze dagelijkse praktijken van eten en drinken hebben de laatste jaren volop de aandacht in wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Af te lezen aan het aantal eetclubs, buurtmaaltijden, tv-kookprogramma's is eten in onze cultuur van onverminderd grote betekenis. Deelname aan Eucharistie en Avondmaal worden minder vanzelfsprekend. Wat hebben deze liturgische praktijken ons in de 21e eeuw te zeggen? Staan zij in verband met ons dagelijks eten en drinken en zo ja, hoe? Wat zijn volgens de Schrift belangrijke aspecten van de maaltijd? Met wie wordt er maaltijd gevierd en wie bepalen dat? In deze bundel belicht een nieuwe generatie theologen op verfrissende wijze verschillende aspecten van de maaltijd. Hun bijdragen zijn in drie thema's ondergebracht. Deel 1: Eten, lijf en leven. Bij dit eerste thema staat het doordenken van de relatie tussen 'seculiere' en religieuze maaltijden centraal. Deel 2: Beleving van de maaltijd. Hier komen mensen aan het woord die maaltijden vieren: welke betekenissen kennen zij toe aan heilig Avondmaal en Eucharistie? Deel 3: Gasten en gemeenschap. Over het gemeenschapsvormende karakter van maaltijden: hoe draagt de rituele vormgeving en uitnodigings- of toelatingsbeleid daaraan bij?

Abstract

"Feasting and commensality were vital to the great resilience of the polis, Greece's most characteristic and enduring form of political organization. Exploring a wide array of commensal practices, Feasting and Polis Institutions reveals how feasts defined the religious and political institutions of the Greek citizen-state. Taking the reader from the Early Iron Age to the Imperial Period, this volume launches an essential inquiry into Greek power relations. Focusing on the myriad of patronage roles at the feast and making use of a wide variety of methodologies and primary sources, including archaeology, epigraphy and literature, Feasting and Polis Institutions argues that in ancient Greece political interaction could never be complete until it was consumed in a very literal sense"--

Abstract

Souvent méconnues, les sacre rappresentazioni naissent à Florence, au début du XVe siècle, sous l'impulsion des dominicains de Saint-Marc. Les buts de ce théâtre sont d'abord pédagogiques. Les enfants sont, à cette époque, au centre d'intérêts civils et religieux importants : il s'agit d'en faire de bons citoyens et de bons chrétiens. Mais les auteurs de sacre rappresentazioni sont des laïcs. Artisans ou fonctionnaires de l'État, leurs intérêts privés et leurs liens d'amitié les rattachent souvent aux Médicis. La représentation sacrée cèle alors et nourrit parfois un discours politique. Cette étude, résolument interdisciplinaire, retrace l'histoire de ce théâtre et plonge le lecteur dans l'esprit d'une époque. Elle décrypte les modes de pensée et les enjeux culturels ou politiques de ceux qui ont inauguré la Renaissance en Europe. Often unknown, the sacre rappresentazioni first appeared in Florence at the beginning of the 15th Century under the impetus of the Dominicans of Saint Marc. The objectives of this theatre are first and foremost pedagogical. In this time period, children are at the centre of civil and religious interests: the idea was to make them into good citizens and good Christians. But the authors of the sacre rappresentazioni are lay people. Artisans and servants of the State, their private interests and their friendship links often attach them to the Medicis… The sacred representation thus conceals and feeds a discourse that is occasionally political. This study, resolutely interdisciplinary, retraces the history of this theatre and puts the reader in the spirit of the time. It decodes the modes of thought and the cultural and political issues of those who inaugurated the Renaissance in Europe.

Abstract

The Eucharist is at the heart of Christian worship and at the heart of the Eucharist are the curious phrases, 'This is my body' and 'This is my blood'. James M. Arcadi offers a constructive proposal for understanding Christ's presence in the Eucharist that draws on contemporary conceptual resources and is faithful to the history of interpretation. He locates his proposal along a spectrum of Eucharistic theories. Arcadi explores the motif of God's presence related to divine omnipresence and special presence in holy places, which undergirds a biblical-theological proposal concerning Christ's presence. Utilizing recent work in speech-act theory, Arcadi probes the acts of consecration and renaming in their biblical and liturgical contexts. A thorough examination of recent work in Christology leads to an action model of the Incarnation that borrows the notion of enabling externalism from philosophy of mind. These threads undergird a model of Christ's presence in the Eucharist.
