The Panoplia Dogmatike by Euthymios Zygadenos Texts and Studies in Eastern Christianity The Panoplia Dogmatike by Euthymios Zygadenos Texts and Studies in Eastern Christianity Chief Editor Ken Parry (Macquarie University) Editorial Board Alessandro Bausi (University of Hamburg) – Monica Blanchard (Catholic University of America) – Malcolm Choat (Macquarie University) Peter Galadza (Saint Paul University) – Victor Ghica (Macquarie University) Emma Loosley University of Exeter) – Basil Lourié (St Petersburg) John McGuckin (Columbia University) – Stephen Rapp (Sam Houston State University) – Dietmar Winkler (University of Salzburg) volume 4 Texts and Studies in Eastern Christianity is intended to advance the field of Eastern Christian Studies by publishing translations of ancient texts, individual monographs, thematic collections, and translations into English of significant volumes in modern languages. It will cover the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Catholic traditions from the early through to the contemporary period. The series will make a valuable contribution to the study of Eastern Christianity by publishing research by scholars from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. The different traditions that make up the world of Eastern Christianity have not always received the attention they deserve, so this series will provide a platform for deepening our knowledge of them as well as bringing them to a wider audience. The need for such a series has been felt for sometime by the scholarly community in view of the increasing interest in the Christian East.

Introduction The trial against the Bogomils and their leader Basil the Physician had lead to the creation of one of the most authoritative anthologies in Byzantium. Panoplia Dogmatike, commissioned at the personal behest of Emperor Alex- ios i Komnenos (1081–1118), was created by the redoubtable Constantinopo- litan theologian Euthymios Zygadenos.1 This anthology—as “a double-edged sword” contains texts from the Church Fathers and refutes in chronological order the important heresies from early Christian times until the heretical movements of the twelfth century. Since its compilation the Panoplia became a key source on Orthodox theology. The text of the Panoplia is known in more than 140 Greek manuscripts. In the fourteenth century it was translated into Old Church Slavonic. The Latin translation, prepared by the Italian humanist Pietro Francesco Zini, was published in Venice in 1555 during the years of the Council of Trent. A reprint of this Latin translation followed in 1556 (Lyon), in 1575 (Venice), in 1577 (Lyon) and later the translation was included in Biblio- theca Veterum Patrum.

  • THE ORTHODOX CHURCHES and the ANGLICAN COMMUNION. by W
    ORTHODOX CHURCHES & ANGLICAN COMMUNION 193 THE ORTHODOX CHURCHES AND THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION. By W. GUY JoHNsoN. TN June, 1935, a Conference to which reference has been made in ~ previous issues of THE CHURCHMAN, was held at Bucarest between a Delegation appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and a Commission appointed by the Rumanian Church, in order to discuss points of agreement and of difference between the two Churches with a view to the possibility of arranging for intercommunion. There can be no valid objection to such approaches, and though their practical utility for English Churchpeople may not be very obvious, it is some­ what different for members of the " Orthodox " Churches of which the Rumanian is now the second largest. There are considerable numbers of these scattered throughout England and America in places where they have no access to their own clergy. It would naturally, therefore, be an advantage to those who desire to have the ministrations of clergy of the Anglican Communion, if they might do so with the full approval of their own Church. A converse arrangement would be, of course, contained in such an approval by both sides ; and such inter­ communion between all who profess and call themselves Christians is greatly to be desired. It should, however, be on a basis which does not jeopardize truth ; and it should not be so narrowed as to include only a particular group of unreformed Churches to the exclusion of others but should extend to those Protestant Churches wruch, like the Church of England, derive their distinctive teaching mediately from the Reformation of the sixteenth century and ultimately from Holy Scripture alone.

In 1636, he became the frst Laudian Professor of Arabic at Oxford. Before him, no regular teaching in Arabic was provided in England,1 and the Bodleian Library contained only a handful of Oriental manuscripts.2 Tere were no printed grammars or dictionaries worth the name, no native speakers to teach the lan- guage, and few printed books in Arabic.3 In this context, Pococke soon gained a considerable reputation in England and across Europe for raising the standards of orientalist scholarship and turning Oxford and its library into frst-rate institu- tions of orientalist learning.

  • The Laments of the Philosophers Over Alexander the Great According to the Blessed Compendium of Al‐Makīn Ibn Al‐ʿamīd
    Nikolai N. Seleznyov Institute for Oriental and Classical Studies Russian State University for the Humanities [email protected] THE LAMENTS OF THE PHILOSOPHERS OVER ALEXANDER THE GREAT ACCORDING TO THE BLESSED COMPENDIUM OF AL‐MAKĪN IBN AL‐ʿAMĪD The thirteenth‐century Christian Arabic historian Ğirğis al‐Makīn ibn al‐ʿAmīd — the author of the two‐volume universal history entitled The Blessed Compendium (al‐Mağmūʿ al‐mubārak) — was a rather para‐ doxical figure. Frequently defined as “a Coptic historian,”1 he was not a Copt, and even though his Blessed Compendium is well known not only in Eastern Christian and Muslim historiography, but also in Western scholarship since its inception, the first part of this historical work still remains unpublished. This first part, however, contains vast material that would undoubtedly interest scholars studying the intellectual heritage of the medieval Middle East. The following arti‐ cle deals with one section of al‐Makīn’s famous work. THE AUTHOR: HIS ORIGINS AND LIFE TRAJECTORY Al‐Makīn’s autobiographical note on his origins was initially ap‐ pended to his history and was then published as part of the Historia ———————— (1) See, for instance: Cl. CAHEN, R. G. COQUIN, “al‐Makīn b. al‐ʿAmīd,” in: The Encyclopaedia of Islam, New edition, 11 vols. & Suppl., Leiden, 1986– 2004, vol. 6, p. 143:2; S. Kh.

  • History of Dogma - Volume IV
    History of Dogma - Volume IV Author(s): Harnack, Adolf (1851-1930) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Harnack's multi-volume work is considered a monument of liberal Christian historiography. For Harnack, applying the methods of historical criticism to the Bible signified a return to true Christianity, which had become mired in unnecessary and even damaging creeds and dogmas. Seeking out what ªactually happened,º for him, was one way to strip away all but the foundations of the faith. With the History of Dogma series, Harnack sets out on this project, tracing the accumu- lation of Christianity's doctrinal systems and assumptions, particularly those inherited from Hellenistic thought. As Har- nack explains, only since the Protestant Reformation have Christians begun to cast off this corrupting inheritance, which must be entirely cast off if Christianity is to remain credible and relevant to people's lives. Rather controversially, the historian rejects the Gospel of John as authoritative on the basis of its Greek influences.

Nathaniel Ogden Kidd, B.A., M.Div A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December, 2018 ABSTRACT IMAGINING DEMONS IN POST-BYZANTINE JERUSALEM: JOHN OF DAMASCUS AND THE CONSOLIDATION OF CLASSICAL CHRISTIAN DEMONOLOGY The Rev. Nathaniel Ogden Kidd, B.A., M.Div Marquette University, 2018 This dissertation traces the consolidation of a classical Christian framework for demonology in the theological corpus of John of Damascus (c. 675 – c. 750), an eighth century Greek theologian writing in Jerusalem. When the Damascene sat down to write, I argue, there was a great variety of demonological options available to him, both in the depth of the Christian tradition, and in the ambient local imagination. John’s genius lies first in what he chose not to include, but second in his ability to synthesize a minimalistic demonology out of a complex body of material and integrate it into a broader theological system.

  • ABSTRACT Anglo-Catholics, and Specifically Those in the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC), a Continuing Or Traditionalist Anglican
    1 ABSTRACT Anglo-Catholics, and specifically those in the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC), a Continuing or Traditionalist Anglican Church, have asserted that the only legitimate doctrine of the Eucharistic Presence is a “realistic” one. A Biblically, historically, and doctrinally sensitive examination, however, of Anglican formularies (the Articles of Religion, the Ordinal, and the Book of Common Prayer–representing the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Anglican Church) demonstrates that they do not teach this doctrine, that the Formularies were written purposely to exclude medieval “realistic” interpretations of the Presence, that the authentic Anglican doctrine of the Presence of Christ in the Lord’s Supper is one of “dynamic symbolism,” and that a “realistic” doctrine of Eucharist is a 19th century innovation and importation into the Anglican Church. The Anglo-Catholic adoption of “Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament” is used as a test case, criticized, and found severely wanting. A positive appreciation and evaluation of the classic Anglican doctrine (following Ridley, Cranmer, Jewel, Hooker, Jeremy Taylor, Cosin, the Nonjurors, and the Wesleys) and its attendant spirituality is given.. The baleful effects of an overly “realistic” view of the Sacrament as adopted by Anglo-Catholics are traced in the pseudo-historical apologetics of the ACC; its infelicitous effects on the ACC’s relations to other Continuing Anglican churches and to other non-Roman Catholic groups are examined. A conscious re-dedication of the ACC to its Reformation heritage and doctrines is necessary, and a new dedication to bettering pan-Anglican and ecumenical relationships is required.

  • Hisatsugu KUSABU Orthodox Identity for Byzantine Theologians, Heresiologists, and ‘Inquisitors’: a Byzantine View of Popular Faith in the Twelfth Century
    Hisatsugu KUSABU Orthodox Identity for Byzantine Theologians, Heresiologists, and ‘Inquisitors’: A Byzantine View of Popular Faith in the Twelfth Century The Byzantine view of Orthodoxy was confronted by a critical situation from the twelfth century on, because of their receding boundaries and the shrinking of their political authority over the Turks, Latins, and Slavs. This situation gradually reviewed the way the Byzantines viewed the oikoumene under the Imperium. Byzantine authorities considered the Imperium to be a unified consolidation of orthodoxy under the spiritual and political leadership of the Christian Roman emperor, and his subjects, the Byzantines were absolutely confident of their orthodox identity. In the twelfth century, however, Constantinople was literarily a ‘melting pot,’ a ‘mosaic of variety,’ and a crossroad of various languages, ethnicities, and faiths. The ‘visitors’ to the city included slaves, mercenaries, ambassadors, and émigrés from foreign countries, who did not even conceal their heterodox faiths. Some stood directly against the imperial Church authorities, arguing for their non- Chalcedonian Christology. Some wandered around the city as self-styled holy men. Byzantines had to confront the reality that they were not ‘outsiders’ anymore but a component of Byzantine 'Orthodox' demography. Although the imperial Church as ecumenical authority enjoyed an exclusive status in the society, in actuality popular religious views were multifarious. Nevertheless, the Byzantines never thought the situation as the crisis of Orthodox taxis (Order) and Orthodox faith (Christianity). Even though some “schools (haireseis)” and their teachings were condemned of heterodoxy and of “heresies” at church courts, many of them seemed to be treated with tolerance and even survived under the Orthodox authorities after the condemnation.

  • Mark Oxbrow Oxford Centre for Mission Studies, UK
    Lausanne-Orthodox Initiative Regional Consultation : Christian Witness: ‘A life worthy of the Gospel of Christ’ 5-8 November 2019 : Monastery of St Bishoy, Wadi el-Natrun, Egypt St Mark: From Mission to Martyrdom Revd. Canon Mark Oxbrow Oxford Centre for Mission Studies, UK Abstract The Greek term mártyras carries the double meaning of witness and martyr. This paper invites an exploration of the relationship between these two in the contexts of first century and contemporary Africa using the life of St. Mark as a historical lens. The paper suggests that many Western authored histories of the Christian movement are distorted by a lack of attention to the Eastern and African expansion of the Church in the early centuries and that contemporary African Christian have erroneously bought into this emaciated history and the theology to which it has given rise. Through an examination of various themes in the life, witness and death of St. Mark, and the relationship between martyrdom and witness in African Christian history, the paper encourages a reappraisal of the Africa roots of Christianity as a rich source for contemporary discipleship in Africa as well as the Church universal. Introduction The theme of our conference this week, witness, in Greek mártyras or martyr, derives from the two-fold promise contained in the very last words of the pre-ascendant Lord, “ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth ." 1. The first pneumatological element of this promise is of course a reaffirmation of Jesus’ words before and after his death and resurrection (John 14:26; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-5), but the second element of the promise is a much clearer statement of what we, through sanctification, or theosis , will become.
