Tertullian's Text of the New Testament Outside the Gospels
TERTULLIAN’S TEXT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT OUTSIDE THE GOSPELS by BENJAMIN DOUGLAS HAUPT A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology, and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This study examines Tertullian’s references to the New Testament outside the Gospels, in order to determine whether he was citing from a Greek or Latin copy of these writings. A new collection of these references was undertaken and is explained in the Appendix. The conclusion of the analysis is that Tertullian was quoting the New Testament writings using Greek exemplars and translating anew in most instances. Tertullian was one of the first Christians to have undertaken such translation work. It is proposed that Tertullian was participating in and influenced by a broad cultural-linguistic movement called the Second Sophistic. Latin writers like Cicero, Quintilian, Varro, and Apuleius were also participants, and their translation of Greek works into Latin likely formed Tertullian to become a literary translator. -
The Relevance of Patristic Heritage in Today's World
RCatT 36/1 (2011) 21-32 © Facultat de Teologia de Catalunya ISSN: 0210-5551 THE RELEVANCE OF PATRISTIC HERITAGE IN TODAY’S WORLD H. E. Hilarion DE VOLOKOLAMSK Your Eminence, Honorable Fathers, Distinguished Members of the Academic Council, Professors and Students, Dear Friends, I am grateful to the Theological Faculty of Catalonia (Barcelona), under the High Patronage of the Gregorian University (Rome), for the honor of addres- sing this lecture to you as Doctor Honoris Causa of this Academic Council. I accept the award with deep emotion. For me it is not a measure of my per- sonal achievements but an acknowledgement of the importance of Orthodox theology and a sign of respect for the Russian Orthodox Church. I have always had a reverent love for Spain and for Catalonia. When I was a schoolboy, I studied Spanish in order to read Federico García Lorca. It so happened that for many years I studied composition and whenever I had to compose a song, I chose a text by García Lorca. In 1994, I visited Catalonia for the first time and was fascinated by its countryside, its people and its cul- tural heritage. I visited Montserrat, your magnificent monastery founded as far back as before the schism of the 11th century. Today it is not only an his- toric site and a destination for pilgrims from around Christian Europe, but also a vivid symbol of your Catalonian culture. When I was in the monastery, a terrible fire took place. The entire mountain caught fire and all the tourists were evacuated. Only the monks stayed behind and myself with them. -

They are responsible for the development of the early churches understanding of the nature of Christ and the Trinity. They show Christians how to read the Old and New Testament. The fathers are the benchmark against which theological debate among Christians today can still be measured. They remain the common ground between Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant theologians. We survey the patristic authors by region, period and language. There is a wide range of material from the patristic era. We will focus on select authors as representative of the general trends. Goals of the Course To understand the development of scriptural exegesis & doctrine in the patristic age To explore the major categorizations of the fathers by region, period & language Understand the differences in approach from these various categories To understand the major theological controversies and the arguments of the fathers To explore how the controversies and methods of the fathers apply to issues today 1 of 5 RS ###: Patristics Course Texts and Resources Required Material Melito, of Sardis. -
Saints – Perpetua 7 October 2018 Michael Banner
Saints – Perpetua 7 October 2018 Michael Banner Psalm 121 Reading from The Passion of Perpetua and Felicity trans. Thomas J. Heffernan You may not have heard of my saint for this evening but you’ve possibly seen her – since she is up there in the windows of the Chapel. She is at the holy end, near the altar (some of the characters down this end are a bit dodgy). And she appears with her slightly unusual attribute. Saints nearly always have attributes to make them readily recognisable: Peter carries his keys, Jerome has his lion, Andrew always appears with his X-shaped cross, St Catherine always has her wheel – and Perpetua often appears with her baby, because when she was rounded up with a few others in one of the rather random persecutions of Christians at the beginning of the third century, in Carthage, in late 202 or early 203, her baby son, who was still nursing, went along with her to prison – and he is a rather telling attribute, since her willingness to be parted from him, rather than renounce her faith, serves to signify her courage and fortitude. We heard about her final parting from that child in the reading from a document known as ‘The Passion of Saints Perpetua and Felicity’. That document purports to be the prison testimony of Perpetua, topped and tailed by an editor, who provides us at the beginning with some biographical details – that Perpetua was well born, well educated and well married, and 22 years old when she and her infant and her six companions were taken into custody – and fills us in on what happens at the end, since Perpetua obviously couldn’t complete the story of her martyrdom herself. -

Perpetua Before the Crowd: Martyrdom and Memory in Roman North Africa Gabrielle Friesen Department of History Undergraduate Honors Thesis April 2014 Advisor: Anne E. Lester, Department of History Committee: John Willis, Department of History Noel Lenski, Department of Classics Andy Cain, Department of Classics ABSTRACT Vibia Perpetua’s prison diary is one of the first known Christian works by a woman. Her writing survived due to continued fascination with their power, their deeply personal nature and Perpetua’s intimate descriptions of her life just before her death, as well as due to the controversies surrounding them. This thesis contextualizes the exemplary nature of Perpetua’s work by examining its differences from prior martyrological accounts, namely the Acts of the Gallic martyrs (177 AD) and the Acts of the Scillitan Martyrs (180 AD). Following this, the thesis examines the modes of gendered violence employed against Perpetua during her life and her execution in 203 AD, both from the state and from family, and her resistances to these violences. -

St. John Chrysostom on Wealth and Poverty a Thematic Study
St. John Chrysostom on Wealth and Poverty A Thematic Study of St. John Chrysostom's Sermons on Luke 16: 19-31 St. John Chrysostom receives Gospel from the Apostle and Evangelist Matthew Image from the St. John Chrysostom Webpage Presented by: Brian Ephrem Fitzgerald, Ph.D. At St. Philip's Antiochian Orthodox Church, Souderton, PA 3, 10, 17, & 24 March 2002 Adult Patristics Study - St. John Chrysostom on Wealth and Virtue Lazarus and the Rich Man as Exemplars for our Salvation Lazarus and the Rich Man as examples set forth in Luke 16:19-31 would seem a rather obvious point, given the eternal reward given the former and the enduring torments inflicted upon the latter. But just because a conclusion is evident does not render it less valuable. In fact, seemingly simple notions often bear much fruit when examined closely. Such clear points can also serve as stepping stones to less evi- dent points. Let us keep this in mind when examining this subject. Lazarus and the Rich Man as examples can be broken down into three specific questions. Why is La- zarus a good example for Christians? Why is the Rich Man a poor example? And finally, how should we use these examples? We shall now investigate how St. John Chrysostom elucidates these points in his homilies on the Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man. Why is Lazarus a good example for Christians? It is not because he was poor, ill, and in extreme dis- tress. St. John makes it clear that virtue is the true measure of a man, and thus neither his social rank nor wealth. -

Saint John Chrysostom
St Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Theological College 242 Cleveland St Redfern NSW 2016 Australia The Seventh Saint Andrew’s Patristic Symposium Saint John Chrysostom 23 – 24 September 2016 The Seventh St Andrew’s Patristic Symposium Saint John Chrysostom 23 - 24 September 2016 The seventh St Andrew’s Patristic Symposium focuses on the personality, contributions and legacy of Saint John Chrysostom. Traditionally acknowledged as a great orator, scriptural interpreter and dedicated shepherd, in recent times the significance of Chrysostom is primarily assessed from the viewpoint of social history. Very recently, his input to the notion of free will has opened new avenues for exploration, for instance by scholars of Saint Maximus the Confessor. The Byzantine acclamation of Chrysostom as an ecumenical teacher and the references to him in the 14th century hesychast disputes require further assessment. A broader, interdisciplinary approach to Chrysostomian studies, such as that represented by the papers offered for the present conference, will cast further light on the various contributions of this venerable figure of early Christianity.
