Our Vice President, Clayton Jefford, has worked with tireless deliberation to assemble a sterling program. Please join me in expressing our heartfelt gratitude to him for all of his time and effort, without which this conference could not proceed. I am pleased to introduce the plenary speakers for this year. On Thursday evening we hear from Jonathan Draper (University of KwaZulu-Natal), who will speak on “Dissociation and the Role of Habitus and Cultural Capital in the Visions of Hermas.” Our traditional dessert reception will follow. The Presidential Address, “Angels, Animals and the Assembly of God’s Spies,” is set for Friday morning, and on Saturday morning Clare K. Rothschild (Lewis University/University of Stellenbosch) will lecture on “The Lovers Miniature of the Muratorian Codex (Ambr. I 101 sup.)” This year’s program offers an extensive and diverse selection of panels, presentations, and discussions, plus a special panel review of our NAPS history. Over three days there will be eighty sessions, carefully organized into six time slots. Also spread throughout the schedule are the various coffee breaks, continental breakfasts, and other opportunities to socialize with friends and colleagues. As always, we will enjoy a meal together at the banquet on Friday evening, and afterward we will hear from Joseph W. Trigg. His talk is entitled “NAPS and the Republic of Letters.” We return eagerly to our annual meeting after a pause in 2019 for the meeting of the Oxford Patristics Conference. We look forward to seeing each other again back in Chicago and especially to marking the fiftieth anniversary of our society, which we hope to celebrate in a spirit of scholarly friendship and generosity, grateful that we have endured in these times and rejoicing in each other’s accomplishments in this expression of that wider, ancient, and venerable company of scholars.

  • Tertullian's Text of the New Testament Outside the Gospels
    TERTULLIAN’S TEXT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT OUTSIDE THE GOSPELS by BENJAMIN DOUGLAS HAUPT A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology, and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This study examines Tertullian’s references to the New Testament outside the Gospels, in order to determine whether he was citing from a Greek or Latin copy of these writings. A new collection of these references was undertaken and is explained in the Appendix. The conclusion of the analysis is that Tertullian was quoting the New Testament writings using Greek exemplars and translating anew in most instances. Tertullian was one of the first Christians to have undertaken such translation work. It is proposed that Tertullian was participating in and influenced by a broad cultural-linguistic movement called the Second Sophistic. Latin writers like Cicero, Quintilian, Varro, and Apuleius were also participants, and their translation of Greek works into Latin likely formed Tertullian to become a literary translator.

  • The Relevance of Patristic Heritage in Today's World
    RCatT 36/1 (2011) 21-32 © Facultat de Teologia de Catalunya ISSN: 0210-5551 THE RELEVANCE OF PATRISTIC HERITAGE IN TODAY’S WORLD H. E. Hilarion DE VOLOKOLAMSK Your Eminence, Honorable Fathers, Distinguished Members of the Academic Council, Professors and Students, Dear Friends, I am grateful to the Theological Faculty of Catalonia (Barcelona), under the High Patronage of the Gregorian University (Rome), for the honor of addres- sing this lecture to you as Doctor Honoris Causa of this Academic Council. I accept the award with deep emotion. For me it is not a measure of my per- sonal achievements but an acknowledgement of the importance of Orthodox theology and a sign of respect for the Russian Orthodox Church. I have always had a reverent love for Spain and for Catalonia. When I was a schoolboy, I studied Spanish in order to read Federico García Lorca. It so happened that for many years I studied composition and whenever I had to compose a song, I chose a text by García Lorca. In 1994, I visited Catalonia for the first time and was fascinated by its countryside, its people and its cul- tural heritage. I visited Montserrat, your magnificent monastery founded as far back as before the schism of the 11th century. Today it is not only an his- toric site and a destination for pilgrims from around Christian Europe, but also a vivid symbol of your Catalonian culture. When I was in the monastery, a terrible fire took place. The entire mountain caught fire and all the tourists were evacuated. Only the monks stayed behind and myself with them.

  • Exculpation of Colenso Both from a Theological Point of View but Also Because of the Situation in the Anglican Communion at This Particular Moment
    Some comments on the possible “exculpation” of Bishop Colenso from Various sources. By D Pratt Bishop John William Colenso (1814-1883) was the first Anglican Bishop of Natal. A graduate of St. John's College, Cambridge and a Broad Churchman, he was appointed to the newly created diocese of Natal in 1853, as both bishop to the colonists and missionary bishop to the Zulu. Applying his Broad Church principles to the missionary context, he increasingly questioned conventional and theologically conservative missionary teaching and preaching, culminating in the publication, in 1861, of his study of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans: newly translated and explained from a missionary point of view, in which he rejected the doctrines of both substitutionary atonement and everlasting punishment. The following year he also published the first part of his study of The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua Critically Examined, in which he challenged the historicity of the biblical narrative and applied historical critical methods to the text of the Pentateuch. Accused of heresy by his fellow bishops in Southern Africa, excommunicated by the Bishop of Cape Town, and also rejected by the overwhelming majority of the bishops of the Church of England, Colenso nevertheless established his legal right to remain Bishop of Natal. He continued as Bishop of Natal - despite the presence of a second and rival Bishop - until his death in 1883. His study of The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua Critically Examined eventually ran to seven large volumes, the last of which was published in 1879. In his later years he also took up the cause of the Zulu, arguing that they had been betrayed and mistreated by the British and colonial authorities.

He distinguished himself especially by his great opposition to scholastic philosophy and theology, against which he wrote Mus exenteratus contra Joannern Pistorium (Tüb. 1593, 4to): — a very rare and curious work on the Mass and baptism, of which extracts have been given in the N.

In the latter his proficiency was very great, and was pretty generally known throughout his native province, even while he was yet a young man.
