RAY ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy History The University of New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico July, 2011 “THERE IS A THREENESS ABOUT YOU”: TRINITARIAN IMAGES OF GOD, SELF, AND COMMUNITY AMONG MEDIEVAL WOMEN VISIONARIES BY DONNA E. RAY B.A., English and Biblical Studies, Wheaton College (Ill.), 1988 M.A., English, Northwestern University, 1992 M.Div., Princeton Theological Seminary, 1995 S.T.M., Yale University, 1999 Ph.D., History, University of New Mexico, 2011 ABSTRACT Despite the ineffability of the Holy Trinity, not to mention its logical impossibility— that the three persons of the Godhead are also one—many medieval thinkers tried hard to capture its essence and importance. Among the richest and most original medieval images of the Trinity were those produced by women visionaries. This is a comparative study of seven of these women—Hildegard of Bingen, Mechthild of Hackeborn, Gertrude of Helfta, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Hadewijch of Brabant, Julian of Norwich, and Christine de Pizan—and their visionary experiences, related through both word and image, of the Holy Trinity. While they were careful to claim doctrinal orthodoxy, these women produced visionary images of the Trinity that were unique, colorful, and diverse: the Holy Trinity might be Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but it might also include a mother or a sister. It might vii consist of three kinds of apples on one tree, three properties of stone, three bodily functions, three regal ladies, or a three-fold rainbow. Visionary women readily acknowledged the difficulty of representing the divine in a way that was neither reductionistic nor presumptuous. Juggling a diverse set of images, they skillfully expressed the inexhaustible mystery of God and the complexity of the doctrine of the Trinity. They gave insight as well into the ways that humans, created in the image of God, reflect the relationality, equality, and multiplicity of roles that inhere in God‘s threeness. In their devotion to the Holy Trinity in its providential and salvific roles (the ―economic Trinity‖), these women provide a powerful counterpoint to medieval academic preoccupation with the structure of God‘s inner life (the ―immanent Trinity‖). In depicting the triune God as independent and exalted yet passionately involved in identity and community formation, these women produced a holistic theology of the Trinity. Thus they have an important place in the historical development of the doctrine of God, for both its theological and social implications. They may provide useful models as well in ongoing interpretations of Trinitarian doctrine. viii Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction ........................................................................................................ 1 Approaches to Mystical and Visionary Experience .................................................... 10 Women, Vision, and Authority ................................................................................... 15 Approaches to the Holy Trinity .................................................................................. 23 Chapter 2: Historical Background to the Doctrine of the Trinity................................... 31 Biblical Basis of the Trinity ........................................................................................ 32 Divine Unity and Plurality in the Hebrew Scriptures ..................................... 32 Evidence for the Trinity in the New Testament .............................................. 35 The Trinity in the Liturgy ........................................................................................... 40 Ante-Nicene Trinitarian Theology .............................................................................. 42 Fourth- and Fifth-Century Ferment in Trinitarian Theology ...................................... 54 The Cappadocian Synthesis ............................................................................ 58 Augustine and the Trinity ............................................................................... 62 Trinitarian Developments in the Early Medieval Period (500-1050) ......................... 66 Trinitarian Theology in the High and Late Middle Ages (1050-1500) ...................... 69 Chapter 3: The Holy Trinity in Medieval Art and Iconography .................................... 86 Depictions of the Trinity in the Early Church (through the Fourth Century) ............. 89 Trinitarian Images between the Fourth and Twelfth Centuries .................................. 91 Twelfth- and Thirteenth-Century Visual Images of the Trinity .................................. 93 Trinitarian Images of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries .................................... 96 Chapter 4: Hildegard of Bingen’s Cosmic Trinity in Twelfth-Century Context ......... 101 Hildegard‘s Twelfth-Century Context ...................................................................... 106 ix Hildegard‘s Trinitarian Texts and Images ................................................................ 113 Hildegard‘s Trinitarian Visions in the Scivias .......................................................... 115 Trinitarian Vision in the Liber divinorum operum ................................................... 134 Hildegard‘s Trinitarian Theology in Letters and Exposition .................................... 137 Chapter 5: Flowing and Melting Trinity: Hadewijch of Brabant and the Women of Helfta in Thirteenth-Century Context .................................................................. 148 Mechthild of Hackeborn ........................................................................................... 151 Gertrude of Helfta ..................................................................................................... 156 Mechthild of Magdeburg .......................................................................................... 160 Mechthild‘s Theology of the Trinity............................................................. 165 Influences on Mechthild‘s Theology and Spirituality .................................. 171 Hadewijch of Brabant ............................................................................................... 179 Chapter 6: Julian of Norwich’s Passionate Trinity in Fourteenth-Century Context .. 192 The Fourteenth-Century Context .............................................................................. 192 The Showings ............................................................................................................ 197 Julian‘s Trinitarian Theology .................................................................................... 206 Trinity as Mother .......................................................................................... 210 Enclosure in the Trinity ................................................................................ 218 The Human Being as Imago Trinitatis.......................................................... 225 Salvation in the Trinity ................................................................................. 229 Chapter 7: Christine de Pizan’s Regal Trinity in Early Fifteenth-Century Context ... 234 Christine‘s Context and Writings.............................................................................

    The Lie About the West. A Response to Professor Toynbee's challenge. By Douglas Jerrold. New York, Sheed and Ward, 1954. pp. 85. $1.75. Will the civilization of Europe and the \.Vestern Hemisphere decline and die like all others of the past, or will it rally and live? Professor Arnold Toynbee, the eminent British historian, proponent of the theory of challenge and response as the key to history, has proposed a possible answer in a recent book, The World and the T~ est. He views the present world crisis as the result of a "response" by the rest of the world (Russia and the Orient) to the "challenge" of continued Western aggression, both military and technological. Draw­ ing a parallel with the declining Roman Empire, which after numerous aggressions was converted to eastern religions-principally and finally to Christianity, he thinks it probable that the West will be converted to a new religion coming from the Orient. This will not be Commun­ ism, he adds in a letter to The Times Literary Su.pplement (April 16, 1954), but an entirely new religion which he hopes will retain the Christian belief in God as Love but will discard the notion of a jealous God and a chosen people in favor of a more universal view, borrowed perhaps from Indian Buddhism. Mr. Douglas Jerrold, another English historian, has called this doctrine a lie in his "response to Professor Toynbee "s challenge." It is a lie against fact, against reason, and against faith. It is against fact because the West was not an aggressor but was on the defensive for a thousand years against the Northmen, Magyars, and Turks; because Christianity was not and is not one of many "oriental re­ ligions" but an historical one which arose within the Roman Empire and was spread by Roman citizens; because Roman civilization was not spread merely by force of arms.

  • 11 Joachim of Fiore
    JOACHIM OF FIORE The abbot’s image released by the bishop’s See of Cosenza, on the occasion of the eight-hundredth anniversary of Joachim’s death,which marks the date ( March 2002 ) of the preliminary steps of the catholic Church’s process leading to his beatification . Joachim of Fiore was born at Celico, a small town in the province of Cosenza, in 1130 and died, in the odour of sanctity, on March the 30 th , 1202, at Canale, a small hamlet of Pietrafitta, near Cosenza. His mortal remains were taken to the “Florense” Abbey of San Giovanni in Fiore, in 1226. He was a Cistercian abbot of Corazzo in 1177 and of Casamari in 1182, but, a short time later, he withdrew into solitude. In 1196 he founded a new congregation in San Giovanni in Fiore, called “Florense”, approved by Celestino III. He was one of the most fecund and complex personalities of the medieval spirituality. Many, especially the extremist Spiritual Franciscans, acclaimed him as a prophet. His prophecies exerted a fascinating influence on a large number of sensible Christian minds. He prophesied a new age. In his “Age of the Spirit” the ecclesiastical organization would be replaced and the Order of the Just (The Franciscan order) would rule the Church. Joachim’s works had a great vogue in the 13 th and 14 th centuries. Dante places him in Paradise, Divine Comedy, the twelfth canto, lines of verse 140/141: “ …il calavrese abate Giovacchino / di spirito profetico dotato…”. Joachim of Fiore resided for some time at the Abbey of Fonte Laurato, in Fiumefreddo Bruzio, which became the second Mother House of the “Florense” congregation.

  • The Well-Trained Theologian
    THE WELL-TRAINED THEOLOGIAN essential texts for retrieving classical Christian theology part 1, patristic and medieval Matthew Barrett Credo 2020 Over the last several decades, evangelicalism’s lack of roots has become conspicuous. Many years ago, I experienced this firsthand as a university student and eventually as a seminary student. Books from the past were segregated to classes in church history, while classes on hermeneutics and biblical exegesis carried on as if no one had exegeted scripture prior to the Enlightenment. Sometimes systematics suffered from the same literary amnesia. When I first entered the PhD system, eager to continue my theological quest, I was given a long list of books to read just like every other student. Looking back, I now see what I could not see at the time: out of eight pages of bibliography, you could count on one hand the books that predated the modern era. I have taught at Christian colleges and seminaries on both sides of the Atlantic for a decade now and I can say, in all honesty, not much has changed. As students begin courses and prepare for seminars, as pastors are trained for the pulpit, they are not required to engage the wisdom of the ancient past firsthand or what many have labelled classical Christianity. Such chronological snobbery, as C. S. Lewis called it, is pervasive. The consequences of such a lopsided diet are now starting to unveil themselves. Recent controversy over the Trinity, for example, has manifested our ignorance of doctrines like eternal generation, a doctrine not only basic to biblical interpretation and Christian orthodoxy for almost two centuries, but a doctrine fundamental to the church’s Christian identity.

  • LAY APOSTOLATE * Lecture I
    AMERICAN PROTESTANTISM AND THE- LAY APOSTOLATE * Lecture I: THE THFES PERIODS OF ALBICAN CUtPCH HISTOPY Although Spanish Catholicism was planted in areas contained in the present United States before English colonization, it did not shape our national conscious­ ness in the early period. American church history may be divided Into three periods, each with characteristic movements, and personalities, and the first period was dominated by British Christendom. From 1607 until well into the 19th century, that is for more than half of our self-conscious history, the relations between Christ­ ianity and culture, church and state, were with minor and fleeting exceptions precisely those which characterized the homeland. Just as the governments of the fourteen colonies - Nova Scotia did not revolt but must be reckoned with the other thirteen until after the Revolutionary War - were but extensions of British sovereignty, in one form or another, so the dominant pattern of church life was like a mirror held to religion in the mother country. I'Jhen church historians finally emerge from the protectionist stance into which denominational and apologetic interests presently surround them, thev will certainly follow the political and economic and military historians to Europe and reconstruct the religious history of the colonial period from that vantage point. Up to a generation ago the professors of American History were still writing filial history, looking back through the long tunnel to forces but dimly perceived and often unin­ telligible. There then arose a generation which went ~to London, to the archives of the Colonial Office. In the not too distant future practitioners of American Church History, still a neglected discipline even in the seminaries, will study the first x period where the most important sources and the one vantage point may be found: in / the files of the Bishop of London and the home offices of SPn and SPCK.
