Of exegetical works usually attributed to Hippolytus, the best preserved are the Commentary on the Prophet Daniel and the Commentary on the Song of Songs.[2] This is the earliest attested Christian interpretation of the Song, cov- ering only the first three chapters to Song 3:7. Hippoly- tus’ Commentary on the Song of Songs interprets the Song as referring to a complicated relationship between Israel, Christ and the Gentile Church. Christ as the Logos is rep- resented in various richly symbolic ways: as the Feminine Sophia (“Wisdom”), who was God’s agent in creation and later lived with Solomon and inspired the prophets, as the transgendered maker of wine (like Dionysus) that nurtures the Church with his breasts (the Law and the Gospel), as the victorious Helios who rides across the sky and gathers the nations. The commentary returns often to the topic of the anointing of the Holy Spirit and was originally written as a mystagogy, an instruction for new Christians. Scholars have usually assumed the Commen- tary On the Song of Songs was originally composed for use during Passover, a season favored in the West for Bap- tisms (see Hippolytus’ Commentary on Daniel 1.17). The commentary on the Song of Songs survives in two Geor- gian manuscripts, a Greek epitome, a Paleo-Slavonic flo- rilegium, and fragments in Armenian and Syriac as well as in many patristic quotations, especially in Ambrose of Milan's Exposition on Psalm 118 (119). Hippolytus dif- fered from Origen, who interpreted the Song largely as an Roman sculpture, maybe of Hippolytus, found in 1551 and used allegory of the soul and Christ. Hippolytus, on the other for the attribution of the Apostolic Tradition hand, interpreted the Song as a typological treatment of the relationship between the Church of the Circumcision In 1551 a marble statue of a seated figure (originally typified by Israel and replaced by the Church composed female, perhaps personifying one of the sciences) was of both believing Jews and Gentile Christians.

  • HIPPOLYTUS and the 6000-YEAR CHRONOLOGY Notwithstanding
    CHAPTER FIVE HIPPOLYTUS AND THE 6000-YEAR CHRONOLOGY Notwithstanding being known today as one of the most important theologians of the 3rd-century Christian Church in the West, Hip- polytus ’ life and writings are not as well known as we might initially think. Most scholars explain this by referring to Hippolytus ’ schismatic activities, adding the fact that he wrote in Greek instead of Latin. It is commonly accepted that Hippolytus lived between c.170 A.D. and 236 A.D. and that he held a solid reputation among the Roman presbyters. However, little is known regarding his early life, and what we know about his later career is still under dispute. Even Eusebius is not positive about which church he led.1 Historical sources also do not allow us to confirm whether he was a disciple of Irenaeus (he probably was not), although it is commonly accepted that he attended one of Origen ’s sermons during his stay in Rome. We also know that the his- torical sources refer to him both as a bishop and as a presbyter, which reflects in a certain way that his importance was different in the West than it was in the East.2 In fact, Hippolytus appears to have been only a presbyter; however, in the Orient it was common to speak of him as a bishop. Later, Hippolytus , a man some said to be very strict in terms of orthodoxy, was convinced that Pope Callistus was a heretic, and therefore regarded Callistus as an antipope. During that period, he attacked not only Callistus but also his successors, namely, Urban and Pontianus .

  • Poverty, Charity and the Papacy in The
    TRICLINIUM PAUPERUM: POVERTY, CHARITY AND THE PAPACY IN THE TIME OF GREGORY THE GREAT AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF MARCH, 2013 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY ___________________________ Miles Doleac APPROVED: ________________________ Dennis P. Kehoe, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ F. Thomas Luongo, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ Thomas D. Frazel, Ph.D AN ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of Gregory I (r. 590-604 CE) in developing permanent ecclesiastical institutions under the authority of the Bishop of Rome to feed and serve the poor and the socio-political world in which he did so. Gregory’s work was part culmination of pre-existing practice, part innovation. I contend that Gregory transformed fading, ancient institutions and ideas—the Imperial annona, the monastic soup kitchen-hospice or xenodochium, Christianity’s “collection for the saints,” Christian caritas more generally and Greco-Roman euergetism—into something distinctly ecclesiastical, indeed “papal.” Although Gregory has long been closely associated with charity, few have attempted to unpack in any systematic way what Gregorian charity might have looked like in practical application and what impact it had on the Roman Church and the Roman people. I believe that we can see the contours of Gregory’s initiatives at work and, at least, the faint framework of an organized system of ecclesiastical charity that would emerge in clearer relief in the eighth and ninth centuries under Hadrian I (r. 772-795) and Leo III (r.

  • The Reception of the Book of Daniel (And
    The Reception of the Book of Daniel (and Danielic Literature) in the Early Church Wisdom and Apocalypticism Section SBL Annual Meeting in Washington, November 18-22, 2006 by Gerbern S. Oegema, McGill University 3520 University Street, Montreal, QC. Canada H3A 2A7 all rights reserved: for seminar use only. Any quotation from or reference to this paper should be made only with permission of author: [email protected] Abstract Whereas cosmogony has traditionally been seen as a topic dealt with primarily in wisdom literature, and eschatology, a field mostly focused upon in apocalyptic literature, the categorization of apocryphal and pseudepigraphic writings into sapiential, apocalyptic, and other genres has always been considered unsatisfactory. The reason is that most of the Pseudepigrapha share many elements of various genres and do not fit into only one genre. The Book of Daniel, counted among the Writings of the Hebrew Bible and among the Prophets in the Septuagint as well as in the Christian Old Testament, is such an example. Does it deal with an aspect of Israel’s origin and history, a topic dealt mostly dealt with in sapiential thinking, or only with its future, a question foremost asked with an eschatological or apocalyptic point of view? The answer is that the author sees part of the secrets of Israel’s future already revealed in its past. It is, therefore, in the process of investigating Israel’s history that apocalyptic eschatology and wisdom theology meet. This aspect is then stressed even more in the later reception history of the Book of Daniel as well as of writings ascribed to Daniel: if one wants to know something about Israel’s future in an ever-changing present situation, one needs to interpret the signs of the past.
