119 APPENDIX TO LUTHER'S CHURCH POSTILl The Fifth Sermon on the Epistle for the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity 2 Corinthians 3 :4-11 Translated by James L. Langbartels ext, you have heard that we should carefully distinguish the two N preaching offices, that of Moses and that of Christ. Moses came with such a shining face so that everything sparkled in his eyes. It was as if his face had rays;2 that is, it was glowing, so that people could not remain before it; rather, he had to cover3 his face when he wanted to speak with the children of Israe1.4 When he climbed up the mountain to God, he took off the cover; but when he returned to the children of Israel, he again put the veil before his eyes [Ex 34:29-35]. 'Luther himself prepared the Church Postils for Advent through Lent. The press of other duties led Luther to entrust the preparation of the remaining Church Postils to Caspar Cruciger (1504-1548). Cruciger's normal practice was to choose a sermon of Luther on the Historic Epistle or Gospel reading, edit it, and publish this as the Church Postil, which met with Luther's full approval. For the Church Postil on the Epistle read ing for the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity on 2 Co 3:4-11, Cruciger chose the sermon series Luther preached in August and September 1535 (Pr 1566-1570). In his editing of these sermons, Cruciger chose to omit most of the last sermon in which Luther dealt especially with the veil of Moses. -

Edited and translated by Michael von Cotta-Schönberg 4th version 2019 1 Abstract Having presented Emperor Friedrich III’s declaration of obedience to the new pope, Calixtus III, in August 1455, the emperor’s top diplomat, Bishop Enea Silvio Piccolomini, at some unspecified time laid before the pope a proposal for settling the Hussite issue which posed a serious and permanent religious as well as political problem. The proposal was based on discussions between Piccolomini and George Podiebrad, the Regent of Bohemia. -
The Real Presence of Christ in Scripture: a Sacramental Approach to the Old Testament
The Real Presence of Christ in Scripture: A Sacramental Approach to the Old Testament by Geoffrey Boyle A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Geoffrey Boyle 2019 The Real Presence of Christ in Scripture: A Sacramental Approach to the Old Testament Geoffrey Robert Boyle Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael's College 2019 Abstract Of the various sense-making attempts to understand the relation of Christ to the Old Testament over the last century, there is a noticeable absence of any substantial presence. Christ is prophesied, witnessed, predicted, typified, and prefigured; but apart from a few alleged christophanic appearances, he is largely the subject of another, historically subsequent Testament. This thesis surveys the christological approaches to the Old Testament since the early 20th century breach made within historicism, introduces a patristic mindset, proposes an ontological foundation to a sacramental (real-presence) approach, then demonstrates this through a reading of Zechariah 9-14. The goal is to bring together three arenas of study—exegetical, historical, theological—and demonstrate how their united lens clarifies the substantial referent of Scripture, namely Christ. The character of the OT witness is thus presented in christological terms, suggesting a reading that recognizes the divine person within the text itself, at home in the sensus literalis. By way of analogy to the Cyrillian hypostatic union and a Lutheran eucharistic comprehension, the task is to show how one encounters the hypostasis of Christ by means of the text’s literal sense. -
The Case of Lower Sorbian
Marti Roland Universität des Saarlandes Saarbrücken, Deutschland Codification and Re(tro)codification of a Minority Language: The Case of Lower Sorbian Lower Sorbian – codification – orthography – Slavonic microlanguages The codification of languages or language varieties belongs to the realm of standardology in linguistics (cf. Brozović 1970). It is interesting to note, although not really surprising, that questions of standardology first attracted the interest of linguists in Slavonic-speaking countries, albeit in rather different ways.1 On the one hand it was the Prague school of linguistics that developed a framework for the description of standard languages (cf. Jedlička 1990), prompted at least partly by the diglossic situation of Czech (according to Ferguson 1959). On the other hand it was Soviet linguistics with its hands-on experience of working with the many languages of the Soviet Union that had no written tradition at all or used very imperfect writing systems. The linguistic bases on which theories were developed differed considerably and so did the respective approaches. The Prague school had to deal with reasonably stable stand- ard languages whereas linguists in the Soviet Union often had to create a 1 On standardology with special reference to Slavonic languages, see Müller/ Wingender 2013 and section XXV. in the handbook Die slavischen Sprachen — The Slavic languages (Gutschmidt et al. 2014: 1958–2038), in particular Wingender 2014. - 303 - Marti Roland standard or to replace an existing standard that was unsuitable (or -
THE REAL PRESENCE of CHRIST's BODY and BLOOD in the LORD's SUPPER: Contemporary Issues Concerning the Sacramental Union
THE REAL PRESENCE OF CHRIST'S BODY AND BLOOD IN THE LORD'S SUPPER: Contemporary Issues Concerning The Sacramental Union The great importance of the Lord's Supper is indicated by the fact that it is one of the few events of our Savior’s ministry which is recorded four times in the Holy Scriptures. Literally translated, these passages read: Matthew 26:26-28 jEsqiovntwn de; aujtw'n labw;n oJ jIhsou'" a[rton kai; eujloghvsa" e[klasen kai; dou;" toi'" maqhtai'" ei\pen: lavbete favgete, tou'to ejstin to; sw'ma mou. kai; labw;n pothvrion kai; eujcaristhvsa" e[dwken aujtoi'" levgwn: pivete ejx aujtou' pavnte", tou'to gavr ejstin to; ai|ma mou th'" diaqhvkh" to; peri; pollw'n 1 ejkcunnovmenon eij" a[fesin aJmartiw'n. While they were eating, Jesus, after he had taken bread and blessed [it], he broke [it] and, after he had given [it] to the disciples, he said, "Take, eat. This is my body.” And after he had taken a cup and given thanks, he gave [it] to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for many unto the forgiveness of sins.

In Renaissance Latin Grammar Petrus Ramus's Dichotomies and Their
Graeco-Latina Brunensia 21 / 2016 / 2 DOI: 10.5817/GLB2016-2-8 The ‘Phonetic Complex’ in Renaissance Latin Grammar Petrus Ramus’s Dichotomies and Their Reflections in Two Vernacular Grammatical Texts Ľudmila Buzássyová (Comenius University, Bratislava) ČLÁNKY / ARTICLES Abstract Most Artes grammaticae of late antiquity start with a ‘phonetic complex’ traditionally placed into chapters entitled De voce and De lit(t)eris. The content and terminology of the complex became an object of criticism among humanist scholars. In this paper, the complex will be briefly characterized and then the attitude of Julius Caesar Scaliger towards the term lit(t)era in De causis linguae Latinae will be presented. This contribution will describe in detail Petrus Ra- mus’s definitions of the key terms of the complex and his classification of Latin speech sounds based on a dichotomic approach. In the context of Ramus’s dichotomic model of the Latin sound inventory, two vernacular models of the sound inventory of a Slavic language will be analysed. The aim of the paper is to outline how Ramus’s approach was adopted in the gram- matical texts of a Slavic language: Nudožerinus’s Grammaticae Bohemicae libri duo and Anony- mous’s De litteratura Slavorum germanissima. This research was inspired by the statement of G. A. Padley in Trends in Vernacular Grammar I concerning the small degree of mutual aware- ness among scholars working in the Latin and vernacular grammatical traditions.1 Keywords Artes grammaticae; Renaissance grammar; phonetic complex; speech sounds; dichotomy; classification; Scaliger; Ramus; Nudožerinus; Anonymous 1 Cf.

The Communist Use of Jan Hus
283 Not Preaching from the Pulpit, but Marching in the Streets: The communist use of Jan Hus Peter Morée (Prague) This article focuses on the way Hus and the Bohemian Reformation, or more specifically its first phase, the Hussite Revolution, were evaluated in the period of communism in Czechoslovakia between 1948 and 1989. Most attention will be paid to the initial phase of the communist dictatorship and its image and use of the Bohemian reformer and his followers. Communist ideology developed the image of a proto-communist movement with a founder who was essentially not a religious leader but a social protester. However, this historical design was nothing new to the period after the Second World War, but, rather, had its roots in the nineteenth century. In the writings of František Palacký, Marxist historians could find arguments that were of great importance to them. Socialist intellectuals of the second half of the nineteenth century were another source as they also searched for revolutionary predecessors in Bohemian history. And finally, leftist intellectuals prepared the way for the communist interpretation of history during the inter-war period. Zdeněk Nejedlý, an academic played the main role in this and, not surprisingly, became the Minister of Education in the first communist government after the coup of February 1948. Nejedlý managed to combine František Palacký, Tomáš G. Masaryk and Marxism into one system of historical interpretation which would be the basis of the official ideological concept of Czech history between 1948 and 1989. We will be able to conclude that there was no disparity between the historiography of the First (democratic) Czechoslovak Republic and that of the communist dictatorship. -
