  • The Point of Departure of Fundamental Theology
    Teresianum 45 (1994/2) 439-455 THE POINT OF DEPARTURE OF FUNDAMENTAL THEOLOGY EDWIN DINIZ The course of fundamental theology is still subject to morphological changes and the various endeavours in the course of the history of theology show, that this course still re­ mains to be defined, if it is to be defined at all. Attempts have been made in this brief reflection to give a short historical glimpse on the subject and then to decipher its identity in the context of theological studies. Finally, without entering the field of the scope or aim of fundamental theology, attention has been concentrated on the point of de­ parture in the study of fundamental theology.

  • "Jesu Bhakta" Hindu Christian Theology
    Gospel Ferment in India among both Hindus and Christians Jesus, My Master: “Jesu Bhakta” Hindu Christian Theology by Herbert Hoefer n my last trip to India, Professor Ravi Tiwari of Gurukul Lutheran Theological College in Chennai kindly gave me a copy Oof his biography of his father, a Brahmin convert and theological professor: Yisu Das: Witness of a Convert (ISPCK, Delhi, 2000), Dr. Yisu Das, of course, was a member of the church, though—as with most non- dalit converts—he did not fit in. As I mused on the elements of Dr. Das’ theology, I started pulling together other experiences of theological thinking that I had found among “Christian Bhaktis” (as Dr. Das called himself), particularly among the non-baptized believers in Christ. At the start of Professor Tiwari’s stimulating biography, he provides the sum- mary of his father’s faith, as he had presented it to a conference in 1963. Listen to “The elements of the Christian Faith, which have appealed to me” (p. 5): 1. The presence of the living Christ. He quotes the Christian mystic Thomas a Kempis: “That man only is rich with whom Jesus delights to dwell.” 2. A person worthy of our devotion. In contrast, Dr. Das speaks of the Hindu Bhakti tradition in which “the devotees have a nobler character than the gods they wor- ship.” I am reminded of the anthropological axiom: People become like the gods they worship. 3. Jesus’ teaching of God as our personal Father. “This teaching has given to Christian prayer simplicity, directness, dignity, which is seldom found elsewhere.” 4.

Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 179. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/179 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/179 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Malebranche's Augustinianism and the Mind's Perfection Abstract This dissertation presents a unified interpretation of Malebranche’s philosophical system that is based on his Augustinian theory of the mind’s perfection, which consists in maximizing the mind’s ability to successfully access, comprehend, and follow God’s Order through practices that purify and cognitively enhance the mind’s attention. I argue that the mind’s perfection figures centrally in Malebranche’s philosophy and is the main hub that connects and reconciles the three fundamental principles of his system, namely, his occasionalism, divine illumination, and freedom. To demonstrate this, I first present, in chapter one, Malebranche’s philosophy within the historical and intellectual context of his membership in the French Oratory, arguing that the Oratory’s particular brand of Augustinianism, initiated by Cardinal Bérulle and propagated by Oratorians such as Andre Martin, is at the core of his philosophy and informs his theory of perfection. Next, in chapter two, I explicate Augustine’s own theory of perfection in order to provide an outline, and a basis of comparison, for Malebranche’s own theory of perfection.

INTRODUCTION In this brief essay I want to propose a few hypotheses that can facilitate the writing— in the future and as a team in CEHILA—of a larger work on the history of theology in Latin America. We will never develop an understanding of our theological past until we have such a work. It is not absolutely essential for the constitution of a new theology, but it is essential for any definitive maturing of our theology. For this reason, each day that passes makes more necessary a theological reconstruction, but not one less interpretative. On the other hand, it should be pointed out that one could write the history of theology from theology itself; namely, by allowing theology to be the point of departure, and by looking into the internal development of theology as an abstract whole subsisting in itself.

  • The Reading of Religious Texts As Mystical Experience
    THE READING OF RELIGIOUS TEXTS AS MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE PETR MIKHAYLOV St Tikhon’s Orthodox University, Moscow Abstract. I examine mystical experience through the history of European religious thought, its modern state, and different spiritual practices of the Patristic epoch. The survey gives some definitions: mystical experience is situated in the field of spirituality along with practices of its acquisition – ascetics; and the fruits of it – theology and doctrine. The second part of the article is devoted to a wide field of Christian texts as a representative example of the same experience of the crystallization of mystical experience in ancient tradition, providing a few general types. Reading of religious texts is related very closely with the spiritual condition of the reader and supposes that he/she changes radically in the process of reading, being involved in some existential- hermeneutic circle. The words ‘mystics’, ‘mysticism’, and ‘mystical experience’ point to the sphere of religion and to the religious life. In religious life, man enters a world that has not been given to him directly, that does not belong to him, and that is not submitted to the laws of his own existence. Here, the borders of possible experience are expanded, allowing for the possibility of experiences that are inscrutable, inexpressible, transcendent, and radically different from non-religious experiences, in the context of which the scope of religious experience is unknown. At the same time, like any other kind of experience, generations of thinkers have reflected on religious or mystical experience, and gradually these reflections have crystallized into certain set modes of expression.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Vincentian Digital Books by an authorized administrator of Via Sapientiae. For more information, please contact [email protected]. With his insightful analysis of the Funeral Oration of St. Vincent de Paul, Rev. Udovic, in three introductory chapters, lays the groundwork for the reading of the actual Oration, placing it in the context of the history of Church and State in the seventeenth century. He shows also how Maupas du Tour carefully crafted his panegyric to avoid the censure of church authorities in his depiction of Vincent de Paul and his works, while, at the same time, artfully giving the Crown, Mazarin, and the nobles a place of honor in the text. Copious illustrations of significant persons and places give life to the book. A must for any serious study of Vincentian historiography. —Marie Poole, D.C. Historian and Author; Editor of Vincent de Paul: Correspondence, Conferences, Documents Everyone with an interest in Vincent de Paul will welcome this English translation of Maupas du Tour’s funeral oration.
