  • "Early Episcopal Lists, II," Journal of Theological Studies 1 No 4
    THE EARLY EPISCOPAL LISTS. 11. IN the January number of the JOURNAL OF THEOLOGICAL STUDIES I discussed, sufficiently I think for the present purpose, some questions preliminary to an understanding of the evidence of Eusebius with regard to the four episcopal lists which he gives us in his History and his Clwonieie I-those of the churches of Rome Alexandria Antioch and Jerusalem. In this second paper I propose to approach the consideration of the lists themselves, and to begin with that of Jerusalem, which is quite independent of the other three and is involved in curious complications of its own. THE JERUSALEM LIST. For this list our only authorities are Eusebius and later oriental writers whose lists are closely related to, if they are not dependent on, that of Eusebius. It will be convenient in the first instance to concentrate attention on Eusebius alone.

  • Resources, Problems and Perspectives from the New Testament
    The Lord's Banquet: Resources, Problems and Perspectives from the New Testament Edgar Krentz The New Testament provides the fundamental basis for the church's cele­ bration of the Lord's Supper and, at the same time, the major source from which to critique aspects of the church's Eucharistic practice today. It is important to hear the New Testament as carefully as possible, in all its vari­ ety, in order to understand the New Testament elements that go to make up contemporary Eucharistic practice and theology. In what I do today I will carry out my role as a New Testament scholar: to hear the New Testament in all its variety and diversity as an aid in understanding the ear­ liest church and as a guide to appropriating that diversity today. All of the texts upon which we draw for interpreting the earliest Christian "Lord's Supper'' are written in Greek-though we all agree that the meal at which our Lord first hosted this supper was a jerusalem Passover whose Haggadah was in Hebrew.l All our texts therefore run the risk of importing via translation verbal associations that drag with them ele­ ments of non-Hebraic culture, social customs, or cultic practices. The Lord's Supper did not originate as an act of public worship--and was not celebrated as such, in our sense, anywhere in the earliest church. Here we need to be utterly precise in our language. By early church I mean the church between the resurrection and approximately the year 110, some eighty years of living the faith.

  • ABSTRACT Asceticism, the Sage, and the Evil Inclination
    ABSTRACT Asceticism, the Sage, and the Evil Inclination: Points of Contact between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity David W. Pendergrass, Ph.D. Mentor: Daniel H. Williams, Ph.D. In Jewish Christian comparative studies there exists a need to explore in more detail the ways in which Jews and Christians interacted religiously and socially in late antiquity. The thesis of this dissertation is that asceticism, the sociological and religious role of the sage, and the anthropological belief in the evil inclination are three aspects shared between predominate groups of Jews and Christians in late antiquity. So far no scholarship has joined these three, inter-dependent areas in Jewish-Christian comparative studies. Chapter Two examines the ways that Jews and Christians did not utterly “part ways” religiously or socially in late antiquity. Evidence of their interaction can be seen in adversus Iudaeos literature, catechetical material, liturgies, biblical exegetical practices, civic and ecclesial legislation, and various archaeological remains. Chapter Three examines the foundations of Christian asceticism and monasticism, especially in Egypt. This chapter critiques the traditional historical reconstructions of monastic origins, with special attention given to the theory that monasticism was an effort by ascetics to become living martyrs. Finally this chapter discusses how the Sayings are a product of the long tradition of ascetic wisdom made especially popular from the fourth through sixth centuries across the Roman Empire. Chapter Four examines the ways Jewish literature speaks to the practice of asceticism. The chapter is divided into three sections: pre-rabbinic Jewish ascetic practices, rabbinic ascetic practices, and the theological and sociological roles of the sage.

    THE AGES DIGITAL LIBRARY REFERENCE CYCLOPEDIA of BIBLICAL, THEOLOGICAL and ECCLESIASTICAL LITERATURE Binney, Thomas - Bradford, John by James Strong & John McClintock To the Students of the Words, Works and Ways of God: Welcome to the AGES Digital Library. We trust your experience with this and other volumes in the Library fulfills our motto and vision which is our commitment to you: MAKING THE WORDS OF THE WISE AVAILABLE TO ALL — INEXPENSIVELY. AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 Binney, Thomas D.D., LL.D. an eminent English Congregational minister, was born at Newcastle-on- Tyne, April 30, 1798. In early life he was engaged in secular employment, but found time for reading and composition, and, by the help of a Presbyterian clergyman, acquired a good knowledge of Latin and Greek. He was brought to Christ when he was young, and he early sought admission to the Christian ministry. His student-life was spent at Wymondley, Herts, and his first settlement was at Bedford, where he continued but twelve months. Mr. Binney was ordained in 1824 to the pastoral office at Newport, Isle of Wight. Here he preached five years, and here began his career as an author, by publishing a memoir of Rev. Stephen Morell, an intimate and beloved friend. In 1829 Mr. Binney accepted a call to the pastorate at the Weigh House, London, and then entered upon a course of usefulness and popularity, which for forty years he sustained with almost undiminished vigor. During the last two years of his life he occupied, with acceptance, the chair of homiletics at New College.

    0325-0325 – Concilium Nicaenum I – The Canons The Canons of the 318 Holy Fathers Assembled in the City of Nice, in Bithynia this file has been downloaded from http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf214.html NPNF (V2-14) Philip Schaff particular, Ptol. Ep. ad. Flor. 4 (in Stieren’s Irenæus, p. 935); Basilides, Hippol. Hær. vii. 22; Carpocrates, Hippol. Hær. vii. 32. From the above passages it will appear that Ante-Nicene writers were not indifferent to the distinction of meaning between the two words; and when once the orthodox Christology was formulated in the Nicene Creed in the words !"##$%&#'( )* +),$%&#'(, it became henceforth impossible to overlook the difference. The Son was thus declared to be !"##$'-. but not !"#$'-.. I am therefore unable to agree with Zahn (Marcellus, pp. 40, 104, 223, Ign. von Ant. p. 565), that at the time of the Arian controversy the disputants were not alive to the difference of meaning. See for example Epiphanius, Hær. lxiv. 8. But it had no especial interest for them. While the orthodox party clung to the homousios as enshrining the doctrine for which they fought, they had no liking for the terms /!&##$'). and !"##$'-. as applied to the Father and the Son respectively, though unable to deny their propriety, because they were affected by the Arians and applied in their own way. To the orthodox mind the Arian formula )*0 1# +23# !"##$%4#(, or some Semiarian formula hardly less dangerous, seemed always to be lurking under the expression 5"6. !"##$'-. as applied to the Son. Hence the language of Epiphanius Hær.

  • Call to Holiness
    Call to Holiness October 2013 Bulletin Supplement Catholic saints are holy people and human people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint the Church honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts. God calls each one of us to be a saint. October 1: Saint Thérèse of Lisieux (1873-1897) "I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul." These are the words of Therese of the Child Jesus, a Carmelite nun called the "Little Flower," who lived a cloistered life of obscurity in the convent of Lisieux, France. [In French- speaking areas, she is known as Thérèse of Lisieux.] And her preference for hidden sacrifice did indeed convert souls. Few saints of God are more popular than this young nun. Her autobiography, The Story of a Soul, is read and loved throughout the world. Thérèse Martin entered the convent at the age of 15 and died in 1897 at the age of 24. She was canonized in 1925, and two years later she and Francis Xavier (December 3) were declared co-patrons of the missions. Life in a Carmelite convent is indeed uneventful and consists mainly of prayer and hard domestic work. But Thérèse possessed that holy insight that redeems the time, however dull that time may be. She saw in quiet suffering redemptive suffering, suffering that was indeed her apostolate. Thérèse said she came to the Carmel convent "to save souls and pray for priests." And shortly before she died, she wrote: "I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth." On October 19, 1997, Blessed John Paul II proclaimed her a Doctor of the Church, the third woman to be so recognized in light of her holiness and the influence in the Church of her teaching on spirituality.
