D. Sacraments (In General) D. Sacraments (in general) I. Sacraments are rites instituted by God that employ an “earthly, visible element” in connection with the word and that convey and certify grace to the recipient. 1. Scripture does not use the term “sacrament.” a) It uses the Greek word μυστήριον (27 times) to refer to something that needs to be revealed, but does not use it to denote the sacraments. 1) μυστήριον may refer to the gospel, in whole or in part. 1 Corinthians 2:7 We speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 1 Corinthians 4:1 Men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God. Ephesians 6:19 Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. Colossians 1:26,27 [The word of God in its fullness], the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 2:2 My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ. Colossians 4:3 Pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 2) μυστήριον is also used with reference to the working of Antichrist, to things that require and receive revelation and clarification in order to be understood (such as the meaning of parables), and to things that remain secrets. 2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. _____ Matthew 13:11 He replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.” 161 Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. Revelation 17:5,7 This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 7 Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.” 1 Corinthians 13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 14:2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit. Theological Dictionary of the New Testament: In sum, μυστήριον is a rare expression in the NT which betrays no relation to the mystery cults. Where there seem to be connections (e.g., in sacramental passages), the term is not used; where it is used, there are no such connections. In spite of certain analogies, there are thus serious objections against bringing Jesus or Paul under the category of the mystagogue (at μυστήριον). b) A factor in the church’s eventual use of the term was the Vulgate’s use of sacramentum as its usual translation for μυστήριον in the following passages. Ephesians 5:32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. Ephesians 1:9 He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ. Ephesians 3:3,9 . the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. 9 to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 1 Timothy 3:16 Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory. Colossians 1:27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. c) The New Testament speaks of various customs and ceremonies. 162 1) Examples of these would be the imposition of hands and the bestowing of holy kisses. The laying on of hands: Acts 8:18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money. Acts 13:3 After they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off. 1 Timothy 4:14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you. 1 Timothy 5:22 Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others. 2 Timothy 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. Mark 5:23 [Jairus] pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.” Compare with verse 41: He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”) Acts 9:17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Compare with 10:44: While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The use of a holy kiss: Romans 16:16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send greetings. 1 Corinthians 16:20 All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss. 2 Corinthians 13:12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. 1 Thessalonians 5:26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. 1 Peter 5:14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ. 2) Two rites, however, stand out from the rest, forming a class by themselves because of divine commands and promises attached to them. -a) One of these is baptism. 163 Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” -b) The second is the Lord's Supper. Matthew 26:26-28 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” (See also Mark 14:22-24; Luke 22:19,20; and 1 Corinthians 11:23-25). -c) Yet Scripture nowhere designates these two rites by a common name. d) On the ecclesiatical use of the word sacramentum, consider the following. Quenstedt: The word “sacrament” is understood 1) in the most general way for anything incomprehensible, or hidden, or secret … (1 Tm 3:16; Eph 5:32; Col 1:26; Eph 3:3. Thus the fathers also called any mystery or any sacred doctrine that was not clear on the surface a sacrament, as the sacrament of the Trinity, of the incarnation, of faith. 2) “Sacrament” in a more restricted sense is used for any external symbol of a sacred or heavenly thing. Thus the seed, the grain, the pearl, etc. are “sacraments” or symbols of the kingdom of heaven (Mt 13:23,31,46). [Augustine in this sense calls the sign of the cross a sacrament.] 3) “Sacrament” is used in a very restricted sense, for a sacred, hidden, symbolic thing, which not only signifies but also at the same time confers the thing which it signifies, in which through an external and visible sign invisible benefits are graciously offered, conferred and guaranteed (cp. AC, XIII). (TDP, part IV, chap. III, sect. I, thesis III, p 73). Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (at μυστήριον): Since sacramentum is a technical term for the soldier’s oath, the question arises how it could become a translation of μυστήριον.

  • The Sacramental Presence in Lutheran Orthodoxy

Klug 95 Toward a New -ran I,ognWics . .Lawell C. Gnxn 109 The Curious Histories of the Wittenberg Concord . .James M. Kittelson with Ken Schurb 119 The Sacramental Presence in Lutheran Orthodoxy Eugene E Klug For Luther the doctrine of the Real Presence was one of the crucial issues of the Reformation. There is no way of understand- ing what went on in the years following his death, particularly in the lives and theology of the orthodox teachers of the Lutheran church, unless the platform on which Luther stood is clearly recog- nized. Luther had gone to the Marburg colioquy of 1529 with minimal expectations. In later years he reflected on the outcome of that discussion with Zwingli, noting that in spite of everything there had been considerable convergence except on the presence of Christ's body and blood in the Sacrament. These thoughts are contained in his BriefCor&ssionconcerning the Holy Sacmment of 1544. "With considerable hope we departed from Marburg:' Luther comments, "because they agreed to all the Christian articles of the faith:' and even "in this article of the holy sacrament they also abandoned their previous error" (that it was merely bread), and "it seemed as if they would in time share our point of view altogether!" This result was not to be, as history records. With all the might that was in him Luther protested loudly throughout his life against any diminution of Christ's body and blood in the Sacrament.' Probably none of Luther's works played as large a role as did his famous "Great Confession" of 1528, the Co~kssionconcerning Christ's Supper.

    IN SEARCH OF A CONFESSIONAL IDENTITY: DOSITHEOS NOTARAS, THE PATRIARCH OF JERUSALEM (1669-1707), CONFRONTS THE CHALLENGES OF MODERNITY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Christopher George Rene IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Adviser Theofanis G. Stavrou SEPTEMBER 2020 © Christopher G Rene, September 2020 i Acknowledgements Without the steadfast support of my teachers, family and friends this dissertation would not have been possible, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to express my deep debt of gratitude and thank them all. I would like to thank the members of my dissertation committee, who together guided me through to the completion of this dissertation. My adviser Professor Theofanis G. Stavrou provided a resourceful outlet by helping me navigate through administrative channels and stay on course academically. Moreover, he fostered an inviting space for parrhesia with vigorous dialogue and intellectual tenacity on the ideas of identity, modernity, and the role of Patriarch Dositheos. It was in fact Professor Stavrou who many years ago at a Slavic conference broached the idea of an Orthodox Commonwealth that inspired other academics and myself to pursue the topic. Professor Carla Phillips impressed upon me the significance of daily life among the people of Europe during the early modern period (1450-1800). As Professor Phillips’ teaching assistant for a number of years, I witnessed lectures that animated the historical narrative and inspired students to question their own unique sense of historical continuity and discontinuities. Thank you, Professor Phillips, for such a pedagogical example.

Br PREFACE Dr. Hodge's method of teaching theology to the students in the Theological Seminary at Princeton is by manu- script lectures, which he reads to the successive classes. The questions printed in this volume are his own ques- tions upon his own lectures, and furnish a general but not an exhaustive view of the course of study pursued in his department. They have been arranged for publica- tion, (by authority of the Senior Class,) and appropriate headings added to them, in such a manner as to indicate to the eye the analysis of the subject, by one of the stu- dents, with Dr. Hodge's consent, but without his super- vision or revision. Whatever of defect there may be in the arrangement is due to the compiler. At present Dr. Hodge is engaged in rewriting his entire course of lectures, and has progressed as far as the subject of Original Sin. Up to this point, the questions are upon the new course.

The logic of this thesis is twofold, based firstly on the cultural centrality of the theology and practice of the eucharist in early modern England, and secondly on the particular engagement of poets within that social and intellectual context. My study applies this conceptual relationship, what I call “eucharistic poetics,” to English religious and

  • Lauda Sion Salvatorem – Editor’S Notes
    Lauda Sion Salvatorem – Editor’s Notes "Lauda Sion Salvatorem" is a sequence prescribed for the Roman Catholic Mass for the Feast of Corpus Christi. The original poem was written by St. Thomas Aquinas around 1264, at the request of Pope Urban IV. The Feast of Corpus Christi (Latin for "Body of Christ") is a Catholic liturgical solemnity celebrating the real presence of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the elements of the Eucharist—known as transubstantiation. The feast is liturgically celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, which typically falls in mid-June. Hilarión Eslava set this Gregorian chant into a lavish orchestral setting, including two Baritone solos. He also included an organ reduction for use in lieu of the orchestral accompaniment. For purposes of making this a little more accessible to amateur choirs, I chose to also include a poetic English translation in the score, which was not provided in Eslava’s original work. LATIN LYRICS: Lauda Sion Salvatorem, lauda ducem et pastorem, in hymnis et canticis. Quantum potes, tantum aude: quia maior omni laude, nec laudare sufficis. Laudis thema specialis, panis vivus et vitalis hodie proponitur. Quem in sacrae mensa cenae, turbae fratrum duodenae datum non ambigitur. Sit laus plena, sit sonora, sit iucunda, sit decora mentis iubilatio. Dogma datur christianis, quod in carnem transit panis, et vinum in sanguinem. Quod non capis, quod non vides, animosa firmat fides, praeter rerum ordinem. Caro cibus, sanguis potus: manet tamen Christus totus sub utraque specie. Sumit unus, sumunt mille: quantum isti, tantum ille: nec sumptus consumitur.
