Epistles of St Paul NOTES ON EPISTLES OF ST PAUL FROM UNPUBLISHED COMMENT ARIES. ~ • • • NOTES ON EPISTLES OF ST PAUL FROM UNPUBLISHED COMMENTARIES BY THE LATE J. B. LIGHTFOOT, D.D., D.C.L., LL.D., LORD BISHOP OF DURHAM. PUBLISHED BY THE TRUSTEES OF THE LIGHTFOOT FUND. lLonbon: MACMILLAN AND CO. AND NEW YORK. 1895 [All Rights reserved.] i!tambribgc : PRINTED BY J. & C. F. CLAY, AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS. INTRODUCTORY NOTE. HE present work represents the fulfilment of the under­ T taking announced in the preface to 'Biblical E~says' a year and a half ago. As that volume consisted of introduc­ tory essays upon New Testament subjects, so this comprises such of Dr Lightfoot's notes on the text as in the opinion of the Trustees of the Lightfoot Fund are sufficiently complete to justify publication. However, unlike 'Biblical Essays,' of which a considerable part had already been given to the world, this volume, as its title-page indicates, consists entirely of unpublished matter. It aims at reproducing, wherever possible, the courses of lectures delivered at Cambridge by Dr Lightfoot upon those Pauline Epistles which he did not live to edit in the form of complete commentaries. His method of trustiqg to his memory in framing sentences in the lecture room has been alluded to already in the preface to the previous volume. But here again the Editor's difficulty has been considerably lessened by the kindness of friends who were present at the lectures and have placed their note­ books at the disposal of the Trustees. As on the previous occasion, the thanks of the Trustees are especially due to W. P. Turnbull, Esq., formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge and now one of Her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools, and to the Rev. H. F. Gore-Booth, Rector of Sacred Trinity, Salford; and the notes lent for the present work by the Right Reverend F. Wallis, D.D., Senior Fellow of Gonville Vl . INTRODUCTORY NOTE. and Caius College and Lord Bishop of Wellington, New Zealand, and by the Rev. A. Lukyn Willia,ms, Chaplain and Head of the London Mission of the Jews' Society, have been of great service. Those who attended Dr Lightfoot's lectures will recollect that he was accustomed to deliver them slowly, thus rendering it possible for a fast writer to take them down almost word for word. The materials thus rendered available have been carefully compared with the original draft. The Editor feels confident that the result may be accepted as representing with fair accuracy the Bishop's actual words. The above explanation applies to the notes on the Two Epistles to the Thessalonians, and on the first seven chapters (for no more is here published) of the First Epistle to the Corinthians and of the Epistle to the Romans. In the case of the fragment of the Epistle to the Ephesians (Eph. i. 1-14) no qualification is necessary; for in this case the Bishop's manuscript is written out fully, just as he intended it for publication in his contemplated edition of that Epistle. It thus represents his final judgment on these verses. In a few places, quotations, carefully specified, have been inserted from Dr Lightfoot's book 'On a Fresh Revision of the English New Testament' (3rd Edition with an additional appendix, 1891), a work which, though published with a special purpose, yet contains a great amount of New Testa­ ment exegesis of permanent value. The Trustees gladly take the opportunity of again ex­ pressing their thanks to the officers and workmen of the University Press for their intelligent criticism and their un­ failing courtesy. J. R.H.

  • February 11, 2018 Mingling of the Body and Blood of Christ!
    February 11, 2018 Mingling of the Body and Blood of Christ! Last Saturday, I received the following comment after the 5 pm Mass, "Father, I enjoyed reading your explanation of the mixing of the water and wine during the preparation of the gifts. I’ve noticed this hundreds of times but never understood it. I didn’t know that the priest was praying a silent prayer at that time. That prayer is quite inspirational. I now understand that the wine represents Jesus and the water represents us. This strengthens my understanding of our communion with Christ at Mass. I have also noticed that while we sing the Lamb of God, the priest, after breaking the host, places a small piece of the host into the Chalice. Can you explain why he does this?” My answer was simple, “At that very moment, the priest says another silent prayer: ‘May this mingling of the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ bring eternal life to us who receive it.’” This is a powerful moment at Mass. I’d like to share with you an explanation of it found in Edward Sri’s book, A Biblical Walk Through The Mass: Understanding what we say and do in the Liturgy. In chapter 23, Agnus Dei: The Fraction, Commingling and the "Lamb of God", Sri says, "The ritual known as the commingling was used at one time to express the unity of the Church. In Rome, the pope had a small particle of the consecrated host, called the fermentum (Latin for leaven), sent to priests in the city, who placed it in their chalices as a sign of their union with the Bishop of Rome.

  • ABSTRACT in the Early Nineteenth Century, the Church
    ABSTRACT In the early nineteenth century, the Church of England faced a crisis of self- understanding as a result of political and social changes occurring in Britain. The church was forced to determine what it meant to be the established church of the nation in light of these new circumstances. In the 1830s, a revival took place within the Church of England which prompted a renewal of the theology and practice of the church, including the Eucharist. This revival, known as the Oxford Movement, breathed new life into the High Church party. A heightened emphasis was placed on the sacramental life and on the Eucharist as the focus of worship. Adherents of the Oxford Movement developed a Eucharistic theology which promoted a closer connection between the elements and Christ’s presence in the Eucharist than did the earlier Anglican tradition. One of the exponents of this Eucharistic theology was Robert Isaac Wilberforce (1802- 1857). The second son of anti-slavery crusader William Wilberforce, Robert was raised in a family of prominent Anglican Evangelicals. At the University of Oxford he came under the influence of his tutor, John Keble, who was one of the four leaders of the Oxford Movement during its heyday. The Gorham case, whose focus was ostensibly the question of baptismal regeneration, turned into a debate on the state’s control over the established church. Robert 1 Wilberforce was called upon to articulate the sacramental theology of the Oxford Movement, which he did in his three major works, The Doctrine of Holy Baptism: With Remarks to the Rev.

  • The Eucharistic Ecclesiology of Nicolas Afanassieff: Prospects and Challenges for Contemporary Ecumenical Dialogue
    The Eucharistic Ecclesiology of Nicolas Afanassieff: Prospects and Challenges for Contemporary Ecumenical Dialogue By Richard R. Gaillardetz One of the most fruitful theological developments to emerge out of the Second Vatican Council is the exploration of the concept of communion as a foundation for contemporary eccesiology.1 Indeed, the concept of communion or koinonia, has become an increasingly central category within ecumenical dialogues.2 Many are unaware, however, of how much this ecclesiology of communion owes to an earlier ecclesiological trajectory, the eucharistic ecclesiology of Nicolas Afanassieff, a Russian Orthodox theologian who effected an ecclesiological renewal within Orthodoxy and indirectly influenced much of the renewal in Roman Catholic ecclesiology reflected in the documents of Vatican II. In this article we wish to reconsider the twentieth century origins of this eucharistic ecclesiology in the writings of Afanassieff and its contributions to contemporary ecclesiology and ecumenical relations between East and West. In the first part of this essay I will explore the origins and influences on Afanassieff's thought followed by a sketch of its defining features. This will be followed by a second section which will critically assess his eucharistic ecclesiology and explore its potential for both the renewal of ecclesiology in Roman Catholicism and the furthering of ecumenical dialogue between East and West. I. Nicolas Afanassieff and Eucharistic Ecclesiology A. Afanassieff's Theological Sources A proper understanding of Afanassieff's ecclesiology requires that we look first to the theological milieu in which he developed his thought. While the majority of his career before his death in 1966 was spent at the St.

GRACE THROUGH THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST…………………… 21 1 INTRODUCTION The phenomenal growth of devotion to the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist has puzzled not a few sincere people. Nocturnal Adoration societies, Perpetual Adoration groups, national associations of the faithful promoting organized visits to the Blessed Sacrament, Holy Hours before the tabernacle, monthly, weekly and even daily exposition of the Eucharist in churches and chapels, in one country after another, have become commonplace. What to make of all of this? Is this another form of pious eccentricity, or is it founded on authentic Catholic doctrine and grounded on the solid rock of Christian revelation? It is authentic Catholic doctrine and it rests on the unchangeable truth of our revealed faith. But it needs to be explained, and the explanation is a classic example of what we call development of doctrine.

  • Worship in Fifth-Century Rome: the Letter of Innocent I to Decentius of Gubbio (Cambridge: Grove Books Limited, 2002)
    Paul Turner: The Amen Corner 3-30-15 The Amen Corner: Between Consultation and Faithfulness: Questions That Won’t Go Away Paul Turner In the year 3615 AD, on the 1600th anniversary of the appearance of this article, perhaps English will be a dead language. Perhaps it will take specialized scholars to read these words in the original. Perhaps no print copy of this journal will have survived the moistures of time, and even electronic copies will have yielded to more durable forms of storage. Perhaps certain words in my vocabulary will be difficult to understand. Perhaps the religious and socio- political scene from which I write will be dimly grasped. It doesn’t take much humility to admit that anything I write would provoke scant interest 1600 years later. So I tip my cap to the early fifth-century bishop of the picturesque Umbrian see of Gubbio, a city that gave its name to the ancient Eugubine Tablets discovered there, and where Francis of Assisi legendarily tamed a menacing wolf. The bishop’s letter has been lost, but his name still bestrides the reply composed by the reigning pontiff. This coming March 19, a rare confluence of the Feast of St. Joseph and the Saturday of Palm Sunday weekend, will mark the 1600th anniversary of the Letter of Pope Innocent I to Decentius of Gubbio. To this day, the letter still influences liturgical practice and ecclesial authority. Robert Cabié translated and commented upon the critical edition he prepared: La Lettre du Pape Innocent Ier a Décentius de Gubbio (19 Mars 416), Bibliotèque de la Revue d’Histoire Ecclésiastique, Fascicule 58 (Louvain: Publications Universitaires de Louvain, 1973).

  • Liturgical Notes for Lent & Holy Week
    Liturgical Notes for Lent & Holy Week By The Rev. Matthew Hoxsie Mead The first day of Lent is Ash Wednesday. The Ash Wednesday liturgy features Readings from Scripture, the Litany of Penance, the Blessing and Ministration of Ashes, and the Holy Eucharist. Ironically, the Ashes are optional and simply an outward sign of what goes on at the service. That said, they are a traditional sign of penance, and also a sign that though we are mortal, we partake in Christ’s resurrection. Lent isn’t technically 40 days. To get to 40 you have to exclude Sundays. The number 40 mirrors the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness, which in turn mirrors the 40 years the Israelites spent in the wilderness. The Church settled on 40 days of fasting and prayer, and excluded Sundays since they were and are Feasts of Our Lord and not fasts. The BCP 1979 notes that there are two major Fasts (with a capital F no less) in the year: Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. The rest of Lent is listed simply as “observed by special acts of discipline and self denial” – or in shorthand, fasts (with a little f). Purple or “Lenten Array” vestments are worn during Lent. We actually have sets of each type of vestments at Christ Church. Lenten Array sets feature off-white, almost oatmeal colored, vestments. In order to use as many of our sets as possible, we will wear purple in Lent in 2016, and we will use the Lenten Array set on Maundy Thursday (the traditional liturgical color for Maundy Thursday is white).

  • COMMENTARY on the EPISTLE to the GALATIANS by John Calvin
    THE AGES DIGITAL LIBRARY COMMENTARY COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS by John Calvin B o o k s F o r Th e A g e s AGES Software • Albany, OR USA Version 1.0 © 1998 TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE The extraordinary ability and skill displayed by CALVIN, in his COMMENTARIES on the Inspired Writings, have been set forth by almost all the Translators of this Series. I have always thought, and am happy to have the support of his latest Editor, Dr. Tholuck, that he I more successful in expounding the EPISTLES OF PAUL than in any other portion of Scripture. This might arise in part from having studied them with uncommon ardor and perseverance. The times in which he lived held out strong inducements to examine the great peculiarities of the Christian Faith. And where were these so likely to be found as in the writings of an Apostle whom the Spirit of God employed, more than all the others, in unfolding to the Church “the unsearchable riches of Christ?” (<490308>Ephesians 3:8.) How far that success might be promoted by the resemblance of character which an able and eloquent writer f1 asserts to have existed between the great Apostle and the Reformer, I leave undetermined. But the chief cause unquestionably lay in his singularly clear perception of that scheme of doctrine which Paul was honored to declare. This enabled him to penetrate the design of the Apostle, and to follow closely the course of his argument. In discussions of the greatest intricacy he seldom loses his way.

Gerlach, B.A., M.A.T. 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 May 2011 ABSTRACT LEX ORANDI , LEX LEGENDI : A CORRELATION OF THE ROMAN CANON AND THE FOURFOLD SENSE OF SCRIPTURE Matthew T. Gerlach, B.A., M.A.T. Marquette University, 2011 While the correlation between the liturgy and the Bible was vital in the patristic- medieval period, a dichotomy grew up between them in modern times. Starting with the assumption that a fuller retrieval of the correlation today requires forms of engaging texts which are not exclusively linear or historico-critical, the dissertation argues that the dichotomy between liturgy and Bible is overcome within a correlation of the Eucharist and spiritual exegesis that retrieves a typological reading of Scripture and that attends to the liturgical relationships memorial, presence, and anticipation. The structure of reading the Bible parallels the structure of praying within the liturgy.
