La réaction du cardinal Suenens et de l'épiscopat belge à l'encyclique Humanae Vitae / Leo Declerck in Ephemerides theologicae lovanienses, 84/1 (2008)

Public ISBD [article]  inEphemerides theologicae lovanienses > 84/1 (2008) . - pp. 1-68. Titre : La réaction du cardinal Suenens et de l'épiscopat belge à l'encyclique Humanae Vitae : Chronique d'une Déclaration (juillet-décembre 1968) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Leo Declerck, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp. 1-68. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Relying on sources found in several archives (in particular those of cardinal L.J. Suenens, the papers of the Belgian Episcopal conference, and the archive of Mgr G. Philips) this article studies both the way in which cardinal Suenens and the Belgian Hierarchy react to the encyclical Humanae Vitae. This “Statement” was particularly important given that it was one of the earliest (along with the Declaration of the German episcopate) reactions issued by an Episcopal conference, rendering the text into a model for other episcopates to rely on. Given that its principal author was Mgr Philips – known as the key redactor of Vatican II’s Lumen Gentium –, the document was characterised by its high standard dogmatic and ecclesiological content. After a short sketch of the role played by Suenens on the issue of Birth Control in the period between 1958 and 1968 (a.o. in the Pontifical Commission for Birth Control), Suenens’s initial reactions to the encyclical, as well as his contacts on the matter with other cardinals, are carefully examined. Subsequently, we offer a detailed account of the laborious redaction of the “Statement of the Belgian Hierarchy”. And finally we study the repercussions of this document in Belgium, and also in various “Roman” circles and on the international scene.

A Lutheran Image on the Title-Page of the Last Bible without a Confessional Label / James Clifton in Ephemerides theologicae lovanienses, 84/1 (2008)

Public ISBD [article]  inEphemerides theologicae lovanienses > 84/1 (2008) . - pp. 69-86. Titre : A Lutheran Image on the Title-Page of the Last Bible without a Confessional Label Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : James Clifton, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp. 69-86. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : La Saincte Bible published by Martin Lempereur in Antwerp in 1530 has been called the last Bible to be published without a confessional label. But its title-page carries an allegorical scene that derives from Lucas Cranach compositions, usually called Law and Grace, that are specifically Lutheran. Lempereur reused the image on his second edition of La Saincte Bible and a Latin Bible, both published in 1534; only these later editions were proscribed in the Indexes of Leuven and Antwerp, apparently because of their paratextual material rather than the title-page image. As inoffensive as Lempereur’s 1530 Bible may have been to the authorities, its title-page allegory may have stimulated illicit discussion among laypersons in conventicles.

A Thomistic Turn? / Michael A. Conway in Ephemerides theologicae lovanienses, 84/1 (2008)

Public ISBD [article]  inEphemerides theologicae lovanienses > 84/1 (2008) . - pp. 87-122. Titre : A Thomistic Turn? : Maurice Blondel's Reading of St Thomas Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michael A. Conway, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp. 87-122. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Blondel began his intensive reading of St Thomas early in the first decade of the twentieth century. In the medieval theologian he discovered not only material that allowed him to penetrate more deeply into the matter of faith, but also an essential corrective to developments in contemporary philosophy whose roots in Descartes had led to an undesirable fragmentation of disciplines. His fascinating study of St Thomas was not, however, uncritical and would lead to his suggestion that what was now needed was a new synthesis of the Thomist and Cartesian spirit. This, in turn, was programmatic for Blondel’s later works and explains the many references to St. Thomas therein.

Theodicy Provides New Perspectives on God According to 4 Ezra / Jan Du Rand in Ephemerides theologicae lovanienses, 84/1 (2008)

Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Understanding and explaining the problem of evil and death in this world remains a crucial and difficult theological issue. It is called theodicy which can be defined in a rational (Eichrodt) or a social-religious (Berger) way. The answers lie on a rational-irrational continuum. Selected moments from Old Testament theodicy provide a comparable framework to evaluate 4 Ezra and the occurrence of evil and death as part of the righteous’ life on earth according to the New Testament. The answers of God through the angel Uriel on the problem of evil and misfortune of the righteous during the recent age have lead Ezra to come to new insights concerning theodicy, and these insights provide new perspectives on God.

The Phantom Returns / David J. Neville in Ephemerides theologicae lovanienses, 84/1 (2008)

Public ISBD [article]  inEphemerides theologicae lovanienses > 84/1 (2008) . - pp. 135-173.

Neville, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp. 135-173. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : In 2004 Delbert Burkett published a book entitled Rethinking the Gospel Sources: From Proto-Mark to Mark, the first of a projected three-volume study of the sources of the canonical gospels. In this first volume, Burkett first challenges the widely accepted assumption that the synoptic gospels stand in direct literary relation to each other and subsequently reconstructs various recensions of an original Proto-Mark to explain the similarities and differences in the so-called “Markan tradition”. If Burkett is correct that no two canonical gospels stand in direct literary relation to each other, this has significant implications for their interpretation. Thus this study appraises the cogency of his argument against any direct literary relations between the synoptics.

Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Otherwise than Th. D. Stegman one should not suppose in 2 Corinthians the underlying story of the righteous sufferer depicted in Psalms 114–115 LXX. Paul does not read the quotation of Ps 115,1a in 2 Cor 4,13 christologically, i.e., as a self-testimony of the risen Jesus. Believing in this verse most probably means trusting, not being faithful. Stegman’s method overloads the text with more meaning than it can bear.

This fragment is transmitted in two different ways by Clement of Alexandria (Stromata I,150,1-3) and Eusebius of Caesarea (Praeparatio Evangelica XIII,12,1-2). It actually does not refer to a word to word translation of the law of the Jews as can be read in the Septuagint, but more probably to the description of the Jewish institutions by Hecataeus of Abdera, which was the source of Diodorus Siculus’s Excursus on the Jews, copied by Photius in his Library (codex 244). Therefore the second sentence in Eusebius’ version must be considered as an interpolation. [article] Aristobule et Hécatée d'Abdère [texte imprimé] / Paul Carbonaro, Auteur . - 2008 . - pp. 181-193.

Langues : Allemand (ger) Résumé : The article deals with the short but multifaceted life of Nicholas of Prüm who was the first professor to hold the chair of canon law at the newly founded university of Louvain from 1426 to 1435.

Born around 1400, Nicholas of Prüm took up his studies at the University of Erfurt in 1412, continued them in Vienna, Cologne and Pavia and completed them with three doctorates in arts, canon and civil law. 1417 he was appointed to his first professorship of arts in Cologne which he kept until 1426 when he received the call to Louvain. Beyond his teaching activities he was entrusted with various ecclesiastical functions like the offices of lawyer and judge of appeal at the diocese court of Cologne. From 1432 to 1435 he worked for Ulrich of Manderscheid, archbishop elect of Treves, as his representative when exercising his episcopal jurisdiction. From 1438 to his death in 1439 (caused by the plague) Nicholas of Prüm participated in the Council of Basle as a member of the peace deputation and as a rota judge.
