BOOK NOTES of the MISSIONARY RESEARCH LIBRARY 3041 Broadway, New York BOOK NOTES of the MISSIONARY RESEARCH LIBRARY 3041 Broadway, New York. New York 10027 Nov/Dec. 1976 Compiled by P.A.Byrnes except as otherwise noted Vol. XXVI No.8· LATIN AMERI CA THE LIBERATION OF THEOLOGY. Juan ~ Segundo, S.J. M~y~nolt, N.Y. Onb~ Boo~. 1976 240 pp. $10.95. This work, rich in content, grew out of a series of lectures given by the author at Harvard Divinity School in the Spring of 1974. It is a valuable, thought provoking contribution to Theology. The main theme, as the title indicates, is the concern that Theology must be liberated, i.e. liberated from being merely an academic dicipline into an instrument of human liberation, in the tradition of Jesus and the Old Testament prophets, able to face the reality of the religious and social political situation in everyday life. It is primarily the methodological approach that needs to be re-examined, and the author offers his own special methodology which he calls "the hermeneutical circle," and defines as "the continuing change in our interpretation of the Bible which is dictated by the continuing changes· in our present-day reality, both individual and societa1." He first tests "the hermeneutical circle" on four sample attempts of Harvey Cox's Secular City, Marx and his critique of religion, Weber on Calvinism and Capitalism and Cone's Black Theology of Liberation, and further analyzes with great mastery the contemporary scene of European, North and Latin American theology, suggesting how a theological challenge can be put to the traditional theological methodology. He clearly shows that there is no point of return for liberation theology in Latin America. THE GOSPEL IN SOLENTINAME. Elme6.to C~ena.t. MaJLy~no.u.Onb..i.-6 Boo~. 1976. 165 pp. $6.95. This precious volume is a translation from the Spanish by Donald D. Walsh. In it the Nicaraguan priest-poet Ernesto Cardenal presents us with a reproduction of commentaries on the Gospel readings made by church members during the Sunday Mass in church as well as elsewhere and on other occasions. The commentaries are by poor farm workers and fishermen living in Solentiname, an archipelago on Lake Nicaragua. Some of these dialogues replaced the traditional sermon during the mass. It is fortunate that, notwithstanding the simple manner of expression, these comments and observations have been preserved for our learning, containing as they do deep in- sights into the Gospel, intended for the poor. PROTESTANTISM IN LATIN AMERICA: A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL GUIDE. John H. Sincl~, edito~.South Pabadena,CdLi..6 .• W,{.lliam CMey Ub~. 1976. xxcv, 414 pp. Pap~ $8.95. The present volume is a revised and expanded edition of a work first published in 1967. It explains itself as "an annotated bibliography of selected references mainly in English, Spanish and Portuguese and useful bibliographical aids to assist the student and researcher in the general field of Latin American Studies." The second edition adds a second part, similarly arranged as the 1967 edition. This work is an essential tool, indispensable for both beginner and specialist in the study of Protestantism in Latin America, its history, contemporary life and thought. 2 - The first chapters of each part (1 and 4) deal with bibliographical aids in the field of Latin American studies (including secular and Roman Catholic materials); the second chapters (2 and 5) with Protestantism in Latin America, general; the third chapters (3 and 6) with Protestantism in Latin America, country by country. INDIA TIlETESTIMONY OF C.F. ANDREWS. Van.iel O'Connolt. Madlta6. ChJri.Alian U:teJta.twz.e. Soci..e.ty. 1974. 280 pp. Pape.Jt. R613.50. (Pltiee. ~ India) This tenth number of the series Confessing the Faith in India, published for the Christian Institute for the Study of Religion and Society in Bangalore is devoted to the witness of Charles Freer Andrews(187l-l940). The major portion of this book, which forms the second part, consists of valuable extracts from Andrews writings: reprinted letters and arti- cles on religion that appeared in various journals over the years. It also includes his autobiographical essay "A pilgrim's progress." Felicitous in his selections from A. 's writings, Daniel O'Connor gives us an introduction in the first part, providing an insightful interpretation and evaluation of the life and work of C.F. Andrews who first came to India in 1904. A remarkable person and missionary, who was sent out by the SPG and was a member of the Christian Brotherhood of Delhi, he "identified himself with the Indian people and their struggle for freedom and justice, a deeply committed follower of Jesus Christ." He died in Calcutta after 36 years of service. CHINA CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION IN CHANGING CHINA 1880-1950. W~am P. Fe.nn. Gltand Rap~d6: Ee.Jtdman. 1976. 256 pp. Pape.lt. $5.95. A history of the Protestant Colleges in China against-the background of a nation undergoing momentous social and political trans- formations. Early beginnings, growth and consolidation are stillfully set forth. The period 1920-37 brought more planning and development along with problems, frustrations and achievements as the colleges became more Chinese, while adjusting to rising nationalism, anti-religious agitation, and increasing government regulation. The epic story of how these colleges carried on during World War II is vividly recounted, then post~ar adjustments, and the taking over by the government of People's China, 1948-52. There are valuable sections that summarize developments and that deal with issues: Foreignness in a Chinese setting, academic programs - vocational and professional education, finding adequate resources, consolidation and union, the spirit and goals of education, the Christian character of an institution, faculty-student relations, and others. Contributions, soberly evaluated, are seen as enormous in varied fields. Dr. Fenn has in-depth China experience and served 1951- 1970 as General Secretary for the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia. (Reviewed.by H.O. Williams). AFRICA TIlEBELOVED BISHOP. A BIOGRAPHY OF BISHOP A.B. AKINYELE. T.A. Ade.b,,[yi. Ibadan. Vay-6:talr..PItU-6. 1969.102 pp. Pape.1t 3-6h. Bishop Akinyele (1875-1968) was a third generation Christian, whose grand father was among the first converts of the German missionaries David and Anna Hinderer, who were sent out by the Church Hissionary - 3 - Society to Ibadan in mid-nineteenth century. This biography, while focusing on the life of Bishop Akinyele, at the same time introduces us to the history of the Angelican Church in Yorubaland. Consecrated a bishop in 1933, he served as assistant bishop, with headquarters in Ondo, until his election as first bishop of the newly formed Ibadan Diocese in 1951. The story of his life and that of the Church he served is well told and informative. An Appendix to the book contains an address (on I Tim. 2:8) delivered by the bishop in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II on February 12, 1956. MUSTARD SEED. THE GROWTH OF THE CHURCH IN KROBOLAND. E.M. L. Odj..uija, c.omp.il.Vt. Ac.CJta.. wa.tVtv~e PUb~hing Ho~e. 1973. 162 pp. Itt~. PapVt. This work attempts to narrate the story of the growth of the Presbyterian Church in Kroboland (Ghana). It is in fact a compilation of contributions by various individuals, including descendants of early converts, extracts from mission records and edited articles from mission journals. The compiler brings these materials together, mostly very sketchy biogra- phies, and tries to show the various phases in the history of the Presbyterian Church in Ghana. The first and second phase deal with the pioneer German missionaries, serving with the Basel Evangelical Missionary Society: Zimmermann, who layed the foundation in the l850s, and Josenhans, who built on it. Following phases deal with native pioneers and second generation Christians, extended work and Christian Insti- tutions; Centenary Celebration and a look at present and future. In 1918, the work of the Basel missionaries was taken over by the United Free Church of Scotland, accounting for the Church's Presbyterian policy. This book contains some building stones for a future story of the growth of the Church in Kroboland. CHURCH GROWTH A MANUAL FOR CHURCH GROWTH SURVEYS. Ebb-i..eC. Smith. Sourh. PM adena. Ca..u6. W.IL.liam Caney LLb~. 1976. 130 pp. PapVt. $3.95. This is a helpful work for understanding what Church Growth is all about. It is intended as a comprehensive guide for Church Growth surveys and offers guidelines and practical advice to the many persons and institutions interested in understanding such projects. It tells what Church Growth is, how to begin it, how to gather data (statistics, questionnaires, interviews), how to interpret and evaluate these, making decisions and implementing them. This study contains many charts and graphs and a bibliography. THE RADICAL NATURE OF CHRISTIANITY. CHURCH GROWTH EYES LOOK AT THE SUPERNATURAL MISSION OF THE CHRISTIAN AND THE CHURCH. Wa1.doJ. WVtMng, South PM adena, CLtU6. Mandate P~e6~. 1975. 220 pp. ParVt $5.85. This book contains a forceful and thorough (radical) restatement of an evangelical theology of missions. It is written in the conviction that "the Evangelization of the World in this Genera tion is more urgent today than it was in 1900 when John Mott wrote his book by that title." It pleads for a Christianity that is committed to Christian truths that are supernatural realities and stresses the need for moral absolutes, relating Christian doctrine to practical strategy for the Church's "aggressive" mission.W.J •.Werning is the author of an earlier work The Stewardship Call and a pastor of the Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod.

  • How and Why Has Pope Francis Restricted the Latin Mass?
    How and why has Pope Francis restricted the Latin Mass? “Chin up, it’ll work itself out,” I told my friend, Michelle. She was “despondent” at the news Pope Francis had abrogated Summorum Pontificum — the law by which Pope Benedict XVI liberalized the use of the 1962 liturgical books — and in fact had told me she “hadn’t felt such grief” since her father passed a little more than a year-and-a-half ago. My friend is a cantor at her very ordinary parish. She loves to sing for the Lord, and she teaches others to sing for him in the way the Church prescribes. She’s middle-aged and never married. She lost her mother too soon, and cared for her father until he went the way of all flesh. The Church is the center of her life. My friend is hurt. She is hurt in her sentiments, sure, but she is also hurt in her person — a loyal daughter of the Church, who has suffered alongside many of her fellows in personal devotion to an ancient and venerable form of public prayer, and now discovers the man to whom she has looked as a father in God is displeased with her attachment and suspicious of her loyalty to him. She isn’t wrong to feel that way, and she’s far from the only one. She reads a lot of the blogs and visits a lot of the websites that traffic in “news” about traditional worship, of interest to the communities devoted to traditional forms. Through the years, I’ve encouraged her to pay less attention to them.

  • Decree of the Congregation for Divine Worship on the Celebration of Saints Martha, Mary and Lazarus, in the General Roman Calendar
    N. 210202c Tuesday 02.02.2021 Decree of the Congregation for Divine Worship on the celebration of Saints Martha, Mary and Lazarus, in the General Roman Calendar CONGREGATION FOR DIVINE WORSHIP AND THE DISCIPLINE OF THE SACRAMENTS DECREE on the Celebration of Saints Martha, Mary and Lazarus in the General Roman Calendar In the household of Bethany the Lord Jesus experienced the family spirit and friendship of Martha, Mary and Lazarus, and for this reason the Gospel of John states that he loved them. Martha generously offered him hospitality, Mary listened attentively to his words and Lazarus promptly emerged from the tomb at the command of the One who humiliated death. The traditional uncertainty of the Latin Church about the identity of Mary - the Magdalene to whom Christ appeared after his resurrection, the sister of Martha, the sinner whose sins the Lord had forgiven - which resulted in the inclusion of Martha alone on 29 July in the Roman Calendar, has been resolved in recent studies and times, as attested by the current Roman Martyrology, which also commemorates Mary and Lazarus on that day. Moreover, in some particular calendars the three siblings are already celebrated together. Therefore, the Supreme Pontiff Pope FRANCIS, considering the important evangelical witness they offered in welcoming the Lord Jesus into their home, in listening to him attentively, in believing that he is the resurrection and the life, and accepting the proposal of this Dicastery, has decreed that 29 July be designated in the General Roman Calendar as the Memorial of Saints Martha, Mary and Lazarus. The Memorial must therefore appear under this title in all Calendars and Liturgical Books for the celebration of Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours; the variations and additions to be adopted in the liturgical texts, attached to the present decree, must be translated, approved and, after confirmation by this Dicastery, published by the Episcopal Conferences.

This is a “pick up session,” now that we have completed the 14 other sessions of this series on The History of the Early Christian Church. Some may remember that we were giving our attention to the early Church Fathers when the interruption of the Covid19 virus descended upon us, and we found ourselves under stay at home policies.

  • Summorum Pontificum
    The Holy See POPE BENEDICT XVI APOSTOLIC LETTER GIVEN MOTU PROPRIO SUMMORUM PONTIFICUM ON THE USE OF THE ROMAN LITURGY PRIOR TO THE REFORM OF 1970 The Supreme Pontiffs have to this day shown constant concern that the Church of Christ should offer worthy worship to the Divine Majesty, “for the praise and glory of his name” and “the good of all his holy Church.” As from time immemorial, so too in the future, it is necessary to maintain the principle that “each particular Church must be in accord with the universal Church not only regarding the doctrine of the faith and sacramental signs, but also as to the usages universally received from apostolic and unbroken tradition. These are to be observed not only so that errors may be avoided, but also that the faith may be handed on in its integrity, since the Church’s rule of prayer (lex orandi) corresponds to her rule of faith (lex credendi).” [1] Eminent among the Popes who showed such proper concern was Saint Gregory the Great, who sought to hand on to the new peoples of Europe both the Catholic faith and the treasures of worship and culture amassed by the Romans in preceding centuries. He ordered that the form of the sacred liturgy, both of the sacrifice of the Mass and the Divine Office, as celebrated in Rome, should be defined and preserved. He greatly encouraged those monks and nuns who, following the Rule of Saint Benedict, everywhere proclaimed the Gospel and illustrated by their lives the salutary provision of the Rule that “nothing is to be preferred to the work of God.” In this way the sacred liturgy, celebrated according to the Roman usage, enriched the faith and piety, as well as the culture, of numerous peoples.

Submitted by: Supervised by: Benali Manel Imene Mr. Teguia Cherif Board of Examiners Chairperson: Dr. Khinèche Examiner: Dr. Maaroufi Supervisor: Mr. Teguia Academic Year: 2019/2020 Dedication To the ones that I love i Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Mr. TEGUIA CHERIF for his unaccountable guidance and patience in directing me throughout this journey. I have been incredibly lucky in the comments I have received from him; his many advices, enlightening, remarks, and especially human attitude, my immense gratitude to him because he has always shown enthusiasm to my work. I am also indebted and deeply grateful to the board of examiners who accepted to read my humble work and thanks to them for the valuable remarks. ii Abstract The Present study is an attempt to prove that the Great Reformation of the 16th century was an important turning point in the history of Scotland as it proved how different the country wanted to be, especially with England wanting to reshape it according to her own standards. Indeed, since the birth of the country, the Scots remained distinct from the UK despite the many attempts from the side of the English kings to swallow the neighbouring kingdom making it a servant with no will.

  • Chapter 14 Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite A
    CHAPTER 14 EXTRAORDINARY FORM OF THE ROMAN RITE A. INTRODUCTION 14.1.1 The Roman Missal promulgated in 1970 by Pope Paul VI is the ordinary expression of the lex orandi of the Catholic Church of the Latin rite. Nonetheless, it is permissible to celebrate the sacrifice of the Mass following the typical edition of the Roman Missal promulgated by Blessed Pope John XXIII in 1962 as an extraordinary form of the liturgy of the Church.1507 14.1.2 It is permissible as well, in the circumstances described below, to use the liturgical books promulgated or in use in 1962 for the celebration of some of the other sacraments and rites.1508 14.1.3 In addition to the Roman Missal, the liturgical books promulgated or in use in 1962 were the following: a. the Roman Breviary, in the typical edition of 1962; b. the Roman Martyrology; c. the Roman Ritual, in the typical edition of 1952, and local rituals derived from it;1509 1507 SP 1. It is not clear what “never abrogated,” used in the full text of this article in reference to the MR1962, means; for if the Missal was “never abrogated,” the law requiring its use certainly was. “Paul VI’s 1969 apostolic constitution Missale Romanum, was properly promulgated as law in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis, in keeping with canon 9 of the 1917 code. The constitution required the use of the newly revised Roman Missal and abrogated previous law that had required use of the Tridentine rite Mass. The Pope decreed that his constitution had the force of law ‘now and in the future,’ and he expressly revoked contrary law, including ‘the apostolic constitutions and ordinances issued by our predecessors and other prescriptions, even those deserving of special mention and amendment.’ Moreover, the March 26, 1970, decree of the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship promulgating the editio typica of the revised Roman Missal contained the phrase, ‘Anything to the contrary notwithstanding.’” For a priest lawfully to use MR1962, even in private, an indult or permission of the ordinary was required.
