Prevot Boston College Andrew L. Prevot is an associate professor in the Department of Theology at Boston College. His research interests include: prayer, spirituality, and mystical theology; political, liberation, and black theology; phenomenology and continental philosophy of religion; and Catholic systematic and fundamental theology. He is the author of Thinking Prayer: Theology and Spirituality Amid the Crises of Modernity (Notre Dame Press, 2015), and a number of article and book chapters in the fields of liberation theology, political theology, and philosophical theology. Dr Prevot’s address belongs to a burgeoning field of scholarship that addresses current social issues by drawing on Christian mystical sources. In particular, it argues that Angela of Foligno's struggle with an inner sense of personal nothingness resembles the psychological burdens of many suffering under anti-blackness and other dehumanizing regimes. It further contends that God's loving response to Angela points to the sort of love that is needed to address such injustices.

    Letter: Leprosy and Paleopathology – exchange of experience Correspondência: Lepra e Paleopatologia – intercâmbio de experiências Patrícia DEPS1 RECEBIDO: 25.02.2016 APROVADO: 20.03.2016 *** Background I was a medical student in 1990 when I visited the Alzira Bley Educational Establishment while training in pediatrics. At that time, I was able to visit the nearby Colony Hospital Doctor Pedro Fontes, where leprosy patients were segregated from around 1937 to 1979. Since then I have returned to the Colony Hospital many times looking for answers about that enigmatic, infectious disease called leprosy. The patients considered themselves ex- leprosy patients because they were treated according to the WHO recommendations and were theoretically “bacilli free”. However, many of the patients told me their stories and this uncovered a wealth of information about how their leprosy was diagnosed and treated, as well as giving me an understanding of their lives and their expectations for the future. It was these visits to the Colony Hospital that first sparked my interest in leprosy and my interest continued to grow following my graduation. So much so that I have now spent more than two decades studying this fascinating and amazing topic. I graduated in medicine in 1993 at the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES), in Vitória (Brazil), then moved to São Paulo for training in 1 Patrícia D. Deps.

Karl Barth and Hans Urs von Balthasar: a critical engagement Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between two major twentieth century theologians, Karl Barth and Hans Urs von Balthasar. It seeks to show how their meeting, resulting in von Balthasar’s seminal study The Theology of Karl Barth, goes on to influence von Balthasar’s theological development throughout his trilogy beginning with The Glory of the Lord, continuing in the Theo-Drama and concluding with the Theo-Logic. In particular it explores the significance of the debate over the ‘analogy of being’ and seeks to show that von Balthasar’s decision to structure his trilogy around the transcendentals of ‘being’, the beautiful, the good and the true, results from his re-affirmation of the role of analogy in light of his debate with Barth.

  • Karl Rahner Theology and Philosophy
    Karl Rahner Theology and philosophy Karl Rahner is one of the great theologians of the twentieth century. This bold and original book explores the relationship between his theology and his philosophy, and argues for the possibility of a nonfoundationalist reading of Rahner. Karen Kilby calls into question both the admiration of Rahner’s disciples for the overarching unity of his thought, and the too- easy dismissals of critics who object to his ‘flawed philosophical starting point’ or to his supposedly modern and liberal appeal to experience. Through a lucid and critical exposition of key texts including Spirit in the World and Hearer of the Word, and of themes such as the Vorgriff auf esse, the supernatural existential, and the anonymous Christian, Karen Kilby reaffirms Rahner’s significance for modern theology and offers a clear expo- sition of his thought. Karen Kilby is Lecturer in Systematic Theology at Nottingham University. She is author of Karl Rahner (Fount Christian Thinkers, 1997), a brief intro- duction to the thought of Rahner.

  • As a Mother Tenderly
    AS A MOTHER TENDERLY Exploring parish ministry through the metaphor and analogy of mothering REVEREND EMMA PERCY MA Cantab BA Dunelm Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2012 As a mother tenderly: using mothering as a metaphor and analogy for parish ministry. The thesis sets out to use maternal imagery as a way of articulating the practice of parish ministry in the Church of England. The aim is to find a language which can affirm and encourage many aspects of good practice that are in danger of being over looked because they are neither well articulated nor valued. The ministry of a parish priest is a relational activity: characterised by care. It is because the priest has a responsibility to care for those entrusted to her that she engages in priestly activity. In doing so she is sharing in the collective ministry of the church in which she has a pivotal and public role. The church is to be a community in which people grow up in Christ and come to maturity of faith. In order to explore the relational activity of a parish priest the imagery of mothering is used. The changing place of women in society has made it more difficult to use gendered images and thus it is necessary to discuss whether mothering is an essentially female activity. After acknowledging the complexity of the gendered language and the reality that most women arrive at mothering through a specifically female bodily experience, the thesis goes on to state that the practice of mothering is not instinctual but learnt.

  • Some Aspects of the Theological Legacy of Karl Rahner
    Declan Marmion Some Aspects of the Theological Legacy of Karl Rahner Introduction The German termvielseitig – versatile or many-sided – certainly applies to Karl Rahner. The word might be literally translated as ‘many-paged’, and this epithet too applies to Rahner, as many theology students can attest. His literary output was prodigious – even by 1974 it had reached almost 3,000 publications, including translations. A distinguished Irish theologian once said of him that in all his voluminous works, Rahner has really only one thing to say – but it is maddeningly difficult to name what that one thing is! Were I to venture a guess, I would point to Rahner’s repeated attempts to focus on the core of the Christian faith, a method that does not lead to a reduction of the essentials but, in the words of Herbert Vorgrimler, to ‘a concentration of the plurality into a few very basic thoughts,’ key terms (Schlüsselbegriffe), or better, key experiences (Schlüsselerlebnisse), of which the most fundamental is the experience of the self-communication of God.1 However, in this essay I will not focus on the experience of God in Rahner, though hopefully it will be apparent how Rahner’s ‘mystagogical’ style finds 1 ‘Seine [Rahner’s] Methode … ist die der Konzentration der Vielfalt auf ganz wenige Grundgedanken, wie er sagt, auf Schlüsselbegriffe oder noch besser auf Schlüsselerlebnisse. Der Grundgedanke dieser Theologie oderdas Schlüsselerlebnis ist, nachlesbar bei Rahner selber, die Erfahrung Gottes.’ Herbert Vorgrimler, ‘Gotteserfahrung im Alltag: Der Beitrag Karl Rahners zu Spiritualität und Mystik,’ in Albert Raffelt, ed., Karl Rahner in Erinnerung, Freiburger Akademieschriften, Band 8.
