Abstract

"Dialogue is a recurring and significant component of Indian religious and philosophical literature. Whether it be as a narrative account of a conversation between characters within a text, as an implied response or provocation towards an interlocutor outside the text, or as a hermeneutical lens through which commentators and modern audiences can engage with an ancient text, dialogue features prominently in many of the most foundational sources from classical India. Despite its ubiquity, there are very few studies that explore this important facet of Indian texts. This book redresses this imbalance by undertaking a close textual analysis of a range of religious and philosophical literature to highlight the many uses and functions of dialogue in the sources themselves and in subsequent interpretations. Using the themes of encounter, transformation and interpretation - all of which emerged from face-to-face discussions between the contributors of this volume - each chapter explores dialogue in its own context, thereby demonstrating the variety and pervasiveness of dialogue in different genres of the textual tradition. This is a rich and detailed study that offers a fresh and timely perspective on many of the most well known and influential sources from classical India. As such, it will be of great use to scholars of religious studies, Asian studies, comparative literature, and literary theory"--

Abstract

Die ‚Neüe Musikalische Kreutz- Trost- Lob- und DankSchuhle‘ ist Johann Rists neunte größere Sammlung geistlicher Lieder und zeugt von seiner letztmaligen Kooperation mit dem Kantor an St. Johannis zu Lüneburg Michael Jacobi. Die Sammlung umfasst neben einer Widmungsvorrede und zahlreichen Ehrentexten eine mit Blick auf die frühneuzeitliche Geschichte der Seelsorge höchst aufschlussreiche „Kreutz-Rede“ sowie 70 Lieder. Die Thematik des Kreuzes – d. h. jeglicher innerlicher und äußerlicher Anfechtungen, Nöte und Krisenerfahrungen –, des allein in Gottes Wort zu findenden Trostes sowie des aus ihm resultierenden Gotteslobes einschließlich der gebührenden Danksagung des Getrösteten an seinen göttlichen Tröster durchzieht das Werk in all seinen Teilen wie ein cantus firmus. Das Liedcorpus ist konsequent darauf ausgerichtet, Dialogizität zu realisieren, d. h. den Angefochtenen Möglichkeiten zu eröffnen, zunächst ihre höchst heterogenen Nöte gebetsweise vorzutragen, sodann eine consolatio spendende göttliche Antwort zu erhalten, um abschließend ein Lob- und Dankgebet zu artikulieren. Im jeweils mittleren Lied dieser Dreiergruppen kommt als Sprecher-Ich der Autor des Trostes – Gott selbst (in Gestalt Gottvaters oder Jesu Christi) – zu Wort. Insofern der Sänger der Trostlieder, in denen Gott als Sprecher auftritt, sich die göttliche consolatio selbst vorsingt und zuspricht, avanciert er zum Ausrichter der evangelischen Botschaft, mithin zum Prediger, worin eine bislang kaum beachtete Konkretion des frühneuzeitlich-lutherischen Priestertums aller Getauften zu erblicken ist.

Abstract

Literary Representations of Christianity in Late Qing and Republican China contributes to the “literary turn” in the study of Chinese Christianity by foregrounding the importance of literary texts, including the major genres of Chinese Christian literature (novels, drama and poetry) of the late Qing and Republican periods. These multifarious types of texts demonstrated the multiple representations and dynamic scenes of Christianity, where Christian imageries and symbolism were transformed by linguistic manipulation into new contextualized forms which nurtured distinctive new fruits of literature and modernized the literary landscape of Chinese literature. The study of the composition and poetics of Chinese Christian literary works helps us rediscover the concerns, priorities, textual strategies of the Christian writers, the cross-cultural challenges involved, and the reception of the Bible.

Abstract

According to a longstanding interpretation, book religions are agents of textuality and logocentrism. This volume inverts the traditional perspective: its focus is on the strong dependency between scripture and aesthetics, holy books and material artworks, sacred texts and ritual performances. The contributions, written by a group of international specialists in Western, Byzantine, Islamic and Jewish Art, are committed to a comparative and transcultural approach. The authors reflect upon the different strategies of »clothing« sacred texts with precious materials and elaborate forms. They show how the pretypographic cultures of the Middle Ages used book ornaments as media for building a close relation between the divine words and their human audience. By exploring how art shapes the religious practice of books, and how the religious use of books shapes the evolution of artistic practices this book contributes to a new understanding of the deep nexus between sacred scripture and art.

Abstract

Biblissimo : un superlatif pour dire l'ampleur et la richesse de ce livre imposant, véritable plaidoyer pour la reconnaissance d'une Antiquité judaïque et fruit de cinquante années de travail. De vraies galaxies de traditions et de livres, dont on n'a parfois que des restes, en hébreu, araméen, grec ou dans nombre de traductions anciennes, sont ici explorées et restituées sous la forme d'introductions claires et de textes choisis. André Paul fait revivre, dans leur diversité, les courants culturels des sociétés judaïques, dont la Bible, leur fleuron unique, s'est un jour trouvée séparée. Bien des problèmes d'ordre éthique et religieux, anthropologique et même politique, posés de nos jours en des termes graves, trouvent dans cet outil pédagogique aux informations antiques, un éclairage aussi vif que surprenant. Une somme culturelle et didactique !
