There have been numerous theories adduced by his­ torians to account for this phenomenon. It is the purpose of this study to view the varying interpretations, analyze their shortcomings, and to put forth a different view of the controversy, one that more adequately expresses the deeply rooted religious nature of the movement, a movement not only of the eighth and ninth centuries but an idea which was nurtured in fertile soil of the Old Testament and Apostolic Christianity. The author wishes to express heartfelt appreciation to his thesis adviser, Dr. George Jewsbury, whose unflagging solicitude, support, and inspiration were instrumental in the preparation of this work. A note of thanks is given to Mrs. Karen Hoyer, whose typing expertise, in the final analysis, made the difference between success and failure. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

    Issue 85: The Council of Nicaea: Debating Jesus’ Divinity Debating Jesus' Divinity: Did You Know? Interresting and Unusual Facts about the Council of Nicaea Compiled by Steven Gertz, D. H. Williams, and John Anthony McGuckin All Aboard? The Council of Nicaea lives on in the imagination of the Church, both East and West. In this photograph taken in 1925, Russian Orthodox patriarchs prepare to board a train for St. David's, Wales, to celebrate Nicaea's 16th centenary. In Rome that same year, Pope Pius XI planned a party of his own in the Vatican basilica, declaring Nicaea a formative event for the Catholic understanding of the nature of Christ. Protestants too have honored Nicaea in their own way. Anglicans, among others, recite the Nicene Creed in church every Sunday, and many Protestants (perhaps unknowingly) celebrate Nicaea in their hymns. One of the most beloved is Reginald Heber's "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty," which ends with a rousing "God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity." Written for Trinity Sunday, the hymn was set to music by John B. Dykes, who named the tune "Nicaea." Wipe Out Those Arian Barbarians Theodosius the Great may have dealt a death blow to Arians in the Roman Empire at the Council of Constantinople (381), but the heresy got a new lease on life among the barbarian Goths. Particularly influential was Theodoric the Great (d. 526), a ruthless military tactician (he murdered his rival) who adopted Arianism as his religion and built numerous Arian churches in Raverina, Italy. When the Byzantine Emperor Justinian recovered Ravenna in 535, he resolved to erase any Arian influence from the city.

  • The Concept of “Sister Churches” in Catholic-Orthodox Relations Since
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Will T. Cohen Washington, D.C. 2010 The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II Will T. Cohen, Ph.D. Director: Paul McPartlan, D.Phil. Closely associated with Catholic-Orthodox rapprochement in the latter half of the 20 th century was the emergence of the expression “sister churches” used in various ways across the confessional division. Patriarch Athenagoras first employed it in this context in a letter in 1962 to Cardinal Bea of the Vatican Secretariat for the Promotion of Christian Unity, and soon it had become standard currency in the bilateral dialogue. Yet today the expression is rarely invoked by Catholic or Orthodox officials in their ecclesial communications. As the Polish Catholic theologian Waclaw Hryniewicz was led to say in 2002, “This term…has now fallen into disgrace.” This dissertation traces the rise and fall of the expression “sister churches” in modern Catholic-Orthodox relations and argues for its rehabilitation as a means by which both Catholic West and Orthodox East may avoid certain ecclesiological imbalances toward which each respectively tends in its separation from the other. Catholics who oppose saying that the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church are sisters, or that the church of Rome is one among several patriarchal sister churches, generally fear that if either of those things were true, the unicity of the Church would be compromised and the Roman primacy rendered ineffective.

  • A Pagan Relic in Byzantine Imperial Acclamations?
    CHAPTER TWO PHTHONOS: A PAGAN RELIC IN BYZANTINE IMPERIAL ACCLAMATIONS? Martin Hinterberger The spoken word is of eminent importance for most rituals. Ritual speech normally is highly formulaic and symbolic, whereas in the context of cere- monies words unfold an even greater power than in everyday communi- cation. For the full understanding of rituals and of the mindset underlying them, therefore, the analysis of the words used is essential. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the semantic shift that words of special signi- ficance for certain imperial rituals underwent, and to analyse the meaning of the rituals concerned, which was also changed as a consequence. More specifically, I am going to examine closely the concept of phthonos, which occurs in several imperial acclamations in similar ceremonial contexts.1 This concept is crucial for the understanding of the ritual connected to it. As a starting point of my enquiry I have chosen the imperial acclamation at the iconoclastic Council of Hieria (an Asiatic suburb of Constantinople, close to Chalcedon), because, as far as I know, this is the latest occurrence of the word phthonos in the context of an imperial acclamation. Later in my chapter, though, I will refer to earlier acclamations, and finally I will discuss the meaning of phthonos in the fourth and fifth centuries in gene- ral. The investigation of the meaning of phthonos in the context of impe- rial acclamations will also demonstrate how Byzantine attitudes about dangerous supernatural powers threatening the emperor and the empire itself are reflected in imperial ceremonies. 1 On acclamations in general, see Ch.

  • The Classical Crisis of Iconoclasm
    THE CLASSICAL CRISIS OF ICONOCLASM Edward G. Farrugia S.J. History is more interesting than fiction. This holds eminently true of the history of dogma, provided that this itself is not divorced from the human dimension taken as a whole. Ifmodern theology in the West has found the need of creating a political theology then this is due to the loss of the kind of communitarian theology which makes the core ofEastern theology, the theology of vision, which in turn harks back to the iconic consciousness of which we have already spoken. If Western theologians like John Baptist Metz have felt the need to remedy the situation, it is because the individual himself, and individual disciplines in a theology which has become increasingly more specialized and divided into new auxiliary disciplines in the wake of the Enlightenment, were suffocating for lack of vision of the whole. 1 But a good theology need undertake no such desperado measures. The history of dogma can also be presented, with fully critical means, as the history of the Church's discernment of spirits, and thus attain a synthesis between faith and history, without either collapsing the one reality into the other, or pitting the one against the other from the start. Of course, at a more specialized level, theology should attend to all the historical and technical intricacies of disputed issues, while keep living from the kind of simple unitive vision enabling the researcher not to lose track of the one reality.2 But theology as a whole must be aware of the consequences of its ideas.

  • The Revival of Byzantine Iconoclasm and the Religious Politics of Emperors in the Ninth Century
    90 International Journal of Orthodox Theology 9:2 (2018) urn:nbn:de:0276-2018-2054 Marius Telea The Revival of Byzantine Iconoclasm and the Religious Politics of Emperors in the Ninth Century Abstract There appeared the idea that ninth century iconoclasm constituted a copy of the earlier one, actually a reiteration of the traditional theses of this heresy. More evident than in the eighth century, the second period of the controversy on icons revealed the political background of the iconoclast movement, the efforts of the imperial power to subject the Church to their interests, but also the obstinate Assoc.

The Revival of Byzantine Iconoclasm and 91 the Religious Politics of Emperors in the Ninth Century Rhangabe prepared the way for the revival of iconoclasm, established with the reign of Leo V the Armenian. The most representative defenders and theologians of icons were, in this period, Patriarch Nicephorus of Constantinople and Saint Theodore the Studite. Just like all the defenders of icons, they proved that the icon is the expression of the reality of the Incarnation of Christ, and its veneration is founded on the Christological teachings of the Church. Keywords iconoclasm, defenders, emperors, Church, worship 1 Introduction Once icon veneration was restored, after the Ecumenical Council in Nicea (787), peace did not settle in the Byzantine Church.

  • Le Icone Acheropite a Nicea Ii
    LE ICONE ACHEROPITE A NICEA II E NEI LIBRI CAROLINI ESTER BRUNET Studium Generale Marcianum, Venezia La crisi dell’iconoclasmo a Bisanzio rappresenta, a detta di Marie- Josè Mondzain, il contesto, drammatico e potente, in cui si definisce l’orizzonte di senso religioso e politico dell’immagine artificiale; il fran- gente culturale in cui si genera il pensiero sull’immagine di cui noi sia- mo oggi gli eredi1. La dottrina delle icone definitasi in quegli anni si av- vale, apparentemente senza remore, dei racconti relativi alle immagini acheropite. Per un iconofilo, l’impronta miracolosa del volto di Cristo su panno è il segno di un consenso della divinità all’immagine; prova della reale umanità di Cristo e insieme Rivelazione del divino, essa rap- presenta il ritratto prototipico che sigilla la legittimità incarnazionale dell’icona. Le testimonianze testuali sulle acheropite, in particolare sul Mandy- lion, la Camuliana e la Veronica, furono raccolte più di un secolo fa da Ernst von Dobschütz, in un libro che rimane imprescindibile per le ri- cerche in questo settore2. Tuttavia ancora oggi, le attestazioni scritte dell’interesse suscitato dalle acheropite durante la prima stagione dell’i- conoclasmo, oggetto del presente saggio, vengono prevalentemente im- piegate dagli studiosi per dare ragione della storia e dell’aspetto mate- riale di queste immagini3. Minor attenzione è stata data al ruolo gioca- 1 M-J. MONDZAIN, Immagine Icona Economia. Le origini bizantine dell’imma- ginario contemporaneo, trad. it., Milano 2006 (ediz. orig.

  • Conciliarity in Church History and Today
    Bishop MaxiM VasiljeVić Conciliarity in the Church History and Today (A paper to be read at the Colloquium on the Reflections after the Great Council of the Orthodox Church in Crete in 2016, organized by the Faculté de théologie et de sciences religieuses of the Université Laval and the Montreal Institute of Orthodox Theology, Montréal (Québec) , April 29, 2017, ) In our day the large-scale synodal events of the Church of the first mil- lennium are both “forgotten” and misapprehended. In recent times, they seem to be accompanied, on most occasions, by a polemic that psycho- logically loads the debate concerning the issue. Thus, the Holy and Great Council in Crete was so wrongly interpreted in some circles, and today we see that whenever and however it is referred to some people made it the target of public odium. There are different angles from which to approach the topic of synodal- ity. This article hopes1 to point the way to a more nuanced and realistic understanding of how councils took place and the role played by episco- pacy in them. Within the scope of our discussion I would like to explore the signifi- cance of “synodality,” when one sees it as a portrayal of Pentecost and an expression of the Liturgy. However, in order to reach there, I will have to, for the most part, limit myself to the more prosaic aspects. 1 The Councils as a rule bring hope. The iconography of the Councils depends on the iconography of Pentecost, which was a council sui generis. The choreography in these icons demonstrates colorfully that the Church understood these councils as eucharistic events—in the image of Pentecost and Apocalypsis.
