La variété des langues dans le Christus totus selon saint Augustin / Emmanuel Durand in Ephemerides theologicae lovanienses, 86/1 (2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inEphemerides theologicae lovanienses > 86/1 (2010) . - pp. 1 - 25. Titre : La variété des langues dans le Christus totus selon saint Augustin : L'universalité chrétienne en voie d'accomplissement Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Emmanuel Durand (1972-....), Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 1 - 25. Langues : Français (fre) Résumé : The dead ends in which communitarianism has ended up call for a renewed emphasis to be placed upon universal ties. In order to understand Christian universality in its original form, stemming from Pentecost, the present article follows Augustine’s lead in exploring its grounds in the Christus totus. The inclusion of all those called in Christ cannot be achieved without taking account of local diversity, which the Spirit binds together into a harmonic whole. The cue for Christian universality is the fulfilment of the gift of languages in the preaching of the Gospel for the benefit of every different culture. Taking its rise in the multiple repetitions of Pentecost that accompany the initial spread of the Gospel in Acts, the dynamic universalising tendency in Christianity is driven by a divine initiative which is critically important as the disciples move into new cultural or religious territory.

Les derniers feux de la querelle de la grâce / Sylvio Hermann De Franceschi in Ephemerides theologicae lovanienses, 86/1 (2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inEphemerides theologicae lovanienses > 86/1 (2010) . - pp. 27-81. Titre : Les derniers feux de la querelle de la grâce : Le jansénisme français et la question thomiste à la fin du XVIIIe siècle Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sylvio Hermann De Franceschi, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 27-81. Langues : Français (fre) Résumé : On the 21st July 1773, pope Clement XIV orders the suppression of the Society of Jesus. One of the most underestimated consequences of the pontifical decision was, beyond all doubt, a new repartition of the theological factions which were fighting each other in the quarrel over grace, after the disparition of one of the most influent institutional protagonist of this controversy. The present essay aims at analysing how a sort of circular permutation then happened by which Dominicans invaded a polemical space not long ago occupied by Molinists, while Augustinians were playing the part previously allotted to Thomists. Following a philothomist tactic to which they were for ages prone, the Jansenists have not been successful in accommodating themselves to this alteration of the controversial equilibrium.

Thought and the Eucharist / Joris Geldhof in Ephemerides theologicae lovanienses, 86/1 (2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inEphemerides theologicae lovanienses > 86/1 (2010) . - pp. 83-106. Titre : Thought and the Eucharist : Philosophical Models and Their Theological Appropriation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Joris Geldhof, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 83-106. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This article first presents and discusses the five philosophical models which Jean Greisch distinguished in his seminal study on the philosophy of religion (Le buisson ardent et les Lumières de la raison, Paris, 2002-2004). It then asks whether the same reasoning can be extrapolated to the theology of the Eucharist. Jean Greisch appears to favor a combination of phenomenology and hermeneutics, because this approach is both the most promising for the future and the most appropriate to deal with religion in all its complexity. Greisch acknowledges some strengths of the other three models (speculation, criticism, and analysis) but in the end repudiates them. In this article a case is made for a rehabilitation of the speculative paradigm, for speculative theology is not a relic of the past but can be considered to provide an orientation for future theologizing. Correspondingly, the thesis is defended that a theology of the Eucharist can profit a lot from a speculative vision, albeit not in an isolated way but always accompanied by the intrinsic values that a hermeneutical (or symbolic) approach and phenomenology contribute to a deeper understanding of the mystery of the Eucharist. In particular, this case is made through a critical exchange with Louis-Marie Chauvet, who is rightly interpreted as one of the major representatives of the hermeneutical (or symbolic) paradigm in contemporary sacramental theology.

Turning the Tables / Marc Huys in Ephemerides theologicae lovanienses, 86/1 (2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inEphemerides theologicae lovanienses > 86/1 (2010) . - pp. 137-161. Titre : Turning the Tables : Jesus' Temple Cleansing and the Story of Lycaon Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marc Huys, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 137-161. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : In the line of the work of H.D. Betz, J. Ã…dna and A.Y. Collins this article attempts to cast new light on the gospel sequence of Jesus’ temple cleansing (Matt 21,12-13, Mark 11,15-17, John 2,13-17) with the help of comparative Graeco-Roman literature and religion. The analysis focuses on the meaning of the table in pagan temple cults and on the symbolic and ritual dimension of the gesture of overturning a table, esp. in the famous mythical stories of cannibalism (Lycaon, Tantalus, Thyestes, Tereus). By retaining this violent detail, the evangelists underlined the pivotal role of the event for the Hellenised part of their audience, acquainted with the symbolic overtones of this motif in Graeco-Roman tradition: overthrowing the table of cultic perversion symbolises divine wrath towards sacrificial abuse and human degeneration as well as its subsequent substitution by a radically reformed sacrifice ritual and a totally new moral and religious order. In accordance, John may have preferred the verb ἀνατρέπω to the Synoptics’ καταστέφω, precisely because of its Graeco-Roman connotations, which fertilised the interpretation in the light of the Old Testament expectation of a saviour who would purify the temple cult. Thus the analogy enhanced John’s symbolic reading, which brings us near the interpretations of E.P. Sanders and J. Neusner.

The Fate of the Devil in Origen / Mark J. Edwards in Ephemerides theologicae lovanienses, 86/1 (2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inEphemerides theologicae lovanienses > 86/1 (2010) . - pp. 163-170. Titre : The Fate of the Devil in Origen Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mark J. Edwards, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 163-170. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Origen’s prediction that death will at last be at peace with God at De Principiis 3.6.5 is generally assumed to allude to the devil, though without naming him. Eriugena (Peri Phuseon 930 Migne) is acquainted with a variant in which the devil is expressly named. This is unlikely to be the true reading, since: (a) there is no strong evidence that he had access to a superior manuscript of the De Principiis; and (b) the devil is once again camouflaged under a personification of death at Commentary on Romans V.560-572 Bammel. If we accept, however, that the devil is the intended subject of these passages, we must reconcile them with the letter in which Origen vehemently denies that the devil can be saved. The solution proposed here is to distinguish between the true salvation of the elect and the mere acquiescence of the devil in the victory of God.

Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The concise antithetical parallelism in Romans 8,10bc is impressive but its interpretation remains difficult. The future physical death is anticipated, as it were in 10b. The human spirit in 10c appears to be empowered by the Holy Spirit; the noun 'life' means life-giving; and 'because of righteousness' probably refers to God’s already given gift, not to the believers’ moral conduct in the future.

Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Two sections of this note present Anderson’s article 'Seeking and Saving What Might Have Been Lost'. The first summarizes what the author calls the six means of Luke’s 'interpretive activity' in re-telling Jesus’ parables (introductions, identification of the audience, aphorisms, 'I say to you', narrative collocation, and interior monologues). The second brings together Anderson’s remarks on the parable of the dishonest steward. The last section offers some points of critique. It suggests, by means of three examples, that an important seventh editorial quality of Luke is forgotten: his creative composing endeavor. [article] Response to Garwood P.

Un working paper de Tillard à l'origine du document de Ravenne / Pascale Watine Christory in Ephemerides theologicae lovanienses, 86/1 (2010)

Langues : Français (fre) Résumé : Jean-Marie R. Tillard (1927-2000) is one of the most brilliant catholic ecumenists of the xxth century. Expert at Vatican II, he was aware very soon of the great openings made by the Council in matters of ecumenism. During all his life, he tried to describe and develope energetically and persistently the many implications of the new orientation of Vatican II, particularly in the field of the international bilateral and multilateral dialogues he was engaged in. Within these dialogues, he delivered a great deal of working papers to initiate or stimulate the commissions’ discussions on the subjects dealt with and was excellent in offering ecumenical perspectives for the future. His influence on the mixed commissions cannot be denied. Many of the agreed statements are marked by his work, even after his death. This is the case with the Ravenna document. In this article, documentary evidence is given to prove this thesis. download article [article] Un working paper de Tillard à l'origine du document de Ravenne [texte imprimé] / Pascale Watine Christory, Auteur . - 2010 . - pp. 185-208.
