  • Augustine and the Art of Ruling in the Carolingian Imperial Period
    Augustine and the Art of Ruling in the Carolingian Imperial Period This volume is an investigation of how Augustine was received in the Carolingian period, and the elements of his thought which had an impact on Carolingian ideas of ‘state’, rulership and ethics. It focuses on Alcuin of York and Hincmar of Rheims, authors and political advisers to Charlemagne and to Charles the Bald, respectively. It examines how they used Augustinian political thought and ethics, as manifested in the De civitate Dei, to give more weight to their advice. A comparative approach sheds light on the differences between Charlemagne’s reign and that of his grandson. It scrutinizes Alcuin’s and Hincmar’s discussions of empire, rulership and the moral conduct of political agents during which both drew on the De civitate Dei, although each came away with a different understanding. By means of a philological–historical approach, the book offers a deeper reading and treats the Latin texts as political discourses defined by content and language. Sophia Moesch is currently an SNSF-funded postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford, working on a project entitled ‘Developing Principles of Good Govern- ance: Latin and Greek Political Advice during the Carolingian and Macedonian Reforms’. She completed her PhD in History at King’s College London.

  • THE APOCRYPHA Definition Why Protestants Reject the Apocrypha
    THE APOCRYPHA The four hundred years between the prophecy of Malachi and the birth of Jesus, the Messiah, are frequently described as silent or mute years; however they were full of activity. Although no in- spired prophet appeared in Israel during those years, events occurred that gave Judaism its dis- tinctive creed and proper preparation for the broth of Christ and the gospel message. During this time frame the Pharisees, Sadducees, Herodians, and Zealots—who all played impor- tant parts in the four gospels—had their origins. They represented different reactions to the con- tinuing clashes between Hellenism and Judaism. While the Maccabean struggle had settled the political problem between the Syrian Seleucids and Judea, it forced Judaism to determine its rela- tionship with other nations. Definition The term Apocrypha (Gr., hidden) is a collection of ancient Jewish writings and is the title given to these books, which were written between 300 and 30 B.C., in the era between the Old and New Testaments. It contains, among other things, historical events of the Jewish people of that time. In 1546 A.D., the Council of Trent declared these books to be authoritative Scripture; however, Protestant churches have never accepted them as part of the canon. The teachings of purgatory, prayers for the dead, and salvation by works are found in these books. Why Protestants Reject the Apocrypha Many Protestants study the Apocrypha for the light it sheds on the life and thought of pre- Christian Judaism. However, they reject it as inspired Scripture for several specific reasons. First, the Apocryphal books were not a part of the Old Testament of Jesus and the early church.

Greek texts and English translations of the Bible: a comparison and contrast of the Textus Receptus Greek New Testament of the 16th century and the Alexandrian text of Westcott and Hort (19th century) and Aland and Metzger (20th century) concerning variant texts that pertain to the orthodox Christology of the Council of Nicea, A.D. 325. Master of Arts (History), December 2002, 155 pp., 149 titles. The argument of this paper is that certain salient passages in the New Testament concerning Christology, as it was defined in the Nicene creed in A.D. 325, reflect such orthodoxy better in the Textus Receptus Greek texts and the English translations made from them than do the Alexandrian texts. Arian theology, which was condemned as heretical at Nicea, is examined. Patristic quotations, historical texts, and arguments of the scholars are cited and traced, along with a comparison of Christological verses.

L’uxoricidio come tema della riflessione teologica 1 Fra gli autori del IX secolo Incmaro, arcivescovo di Reims (806-882) , ha dedicato rispetto ad altri maggior attenzione all’uxoricidio, esaminando gli aspetti sia giuridici, sia teologici e morali del fenomeno. Il discorso incmaria- no sull’argomento si ricollega strettamente alla sua riflessione sulle questio- ni relative al matrimonio, come la natura del vincolo coniugale, la sua indis- solubilità e gli elementi indispensabili per la validità del contratto matrimo- niale, svolta nel contesto degli scandali matrimoniali del periodo (il caso ben 2 noto del divorzio di Lotario II e Teutberga , ma anche l’adulterio rimasto 3 impunito di Engelberga, la moglie di Bosone , oppure il matrimonio fallito di 4 Stefano, conte di Alvernia) . 1 Sul ruolo di Incmaro nella politica e nella vita religiosa del IX secolo si veda J.
