His regel 7 enthusiasm only stimulated my own tentative steps in the fi eld of Christian- Jewish regel 8 relations. regel 9 Several people who had shown an interest in the project encouraged me to continue. regel 10 Firstly, I would like to thank Professor Gerard Rouwhorst without whose unfailing regel 11 support this project would never have materialized. His kind encouragement, interest regel 12 in the results I carefully put before him, and precise analysis of the diffi culties I regel 13 encountered, turned my incoherence into a presentable discussion. Needless to say, the regel 14 failings and shortcomings in the following pages are mine alone and may indicate how regel 15 incomplete the understanding of early Christian relations with Judaism still is. regel 16 It was Professor Paul van Geest who guided me through the minefi eld of patristic regel 17 sources and how to deal with the seemingly irreconcilable diffi culties in comparing regel 18 the writings of church fathers and council texts. His advice and unfailing belief in this regel 19 project and in me meant I could continue where many would have given up. regel 20 Th e fi nancial basis for the years of research was provided for by LJM Stichting, for regel 21 which I am deeply grateful. regel 22 Much practical help was given through the kindness of the librarians of the regel 23 Koninklijke Bibliotheek (Royal Library) in Th e Hague. My constant badgering for regel 24 books they never realized they had must have been frustrating yet it was in their reading regel 25 rooms that this project came into being. regel 26 Mrs. Isobel Wallace has read the manuscript and patiently corrected the English. I regel 27 am deeply indebted to her precise work. regel 28 Kind recognition should also be given to my bishop, Mgr. A.H. van Luyn sdb, whose regel 29 personal interest in the project, further supported by fi nancial help from the diocese, regel 30 encouraged me to investigate the relevance of the topic for Christian- Jewish relations regel 31 today. It is promising to see that simple contacts between the youth of the synagogue regel 32 and the youngsters of our local parish can only mean that these young people may grow regel 33 up without the usual lack of understanding of the other.

    Colin Mcallister Regnum Caelorum Terrestre: the Apocalyptic Vision of Lactantius May 2016

    Colin McAllister Regnum Caelorum Terrestre: The Apocalyptic Vision of Lactantius May 2016 Abstract: The writings of the early fourth-century Christian apologist L. Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius have been extensively studied by historians, classicists, philosophers and theologians. But his unique apocalyptic eschatology expounded in book VII of the Divinae Institutiones, his largest work, has been relatively neglected. This paper will distill Lactantius’s complex narrative and summarize his sources. In particular, I investigate his chiliasm and the nature of the intermediate state, as well as his portrayal of the Antichrist. I argue that his apocalypticism is not an indiscriminate synthesis of varying sources - as it often stated - but is essentially based on the Book of Revelation and other Patristic sources. +++++ The eminent expert on all things apocalyptic, Bernard McGinn, wrote: Even the students and admirers of Lactantius have not bestowed undue praise upon him. To Rene Pichon [who wrote in 1901 what is perhaps still the seminal work on Lactantius’ thought] ‘Lactantius is mediocre in the Latin sense of the word - and also a bit in the French sense’; to Vincenzo Loi [who studied Lactantius’ use of the Bible] ‘Lactantius is neither a philosophical or theological genius nor linguistic genius.’ Despite these uneven appraisals, the writings of the early fourth-century Christian apologist L. Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius [c. 250-325] hold, it seems, a little something for everyone.1 Political historians study Lactantius as an important historical witness to the crucial transitional period from the Great Persecution of Diocletian to the ascension of Constantine, and for insight into the career of the philosopher Porphyry.2 Classicists and 1 All dates are anno domini unless otherwise indicated.

    ABSTRACT the Apostolic Tradition in the Ecclesiastical Histories Of

    ABSTRACT The Apostolic Tradition in the Ecclesiastical Histories of Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret Scott A. Rushing, Ph.D. Mentor: Daniel H. Williams, Ph.D. This dissertation analyzes the transposition of the apostolic tradition in the fifth-century ecclesiastical histories of Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret. In the early patristic era, the apostolic tradition was defined as the transmission of the apostles’ teachings through the forms of Scripture, the rule of faith, and episcopal succession. Early Christians, e.g., Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Origen, believed that these channels preserved the original apostolic doctrines, and that the Church had faithfully handed them to successive generations. The Greek historians located the quintessence of the apostolic tradition through these traditional channels. However, the content of the tradition became transposed as a result of three historical movements during the fourth century: (1) Constantine inaugurated an era of Christian emperors, (2) the Council of Nicaea promulgated a creed in 325 A.D., and (3) monasticism emerged as a counter-cultural movement. Due to the confluence of these sweeping historical developments, the historians assumed the Nicene creed, the monastics, and Christian emperors into their taxonomy of the apostolic tradition. For reasons that crystallize long after Nicaea, the historians concluded that pro-Nicene theology epitomized the apostolic message. They accepted the introduction of new vocabulary, e.g. homoousios, as the standard of orthodoxy. In addition, the historians commended the pro- Nicene monastics and emperors as orthodox exemplars responsible for defending the apostolic tradition against the attacks of heretical enemies. The second chapter of this dissertation surveys the development of the apostolic tradition.

    Pope Proclaims Year Dedicated to St. Joseph

    THE CATHOLIC MIRROR Vol. 55, No. 1 January, 15 2021 Pope proclaims year dedicated Ordinations have powerful impact to St. Joseph By Junno Arocho Esteves Catholic News Service VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Marking the 150th anniversary of St. Joseph being declared patron of the universal church, Pope Francis pro- claimed a yearlong celebration dedicated to the foster father of Jesus. In a Dec. 8 apostolic letter, “Pa- tris Corde” (“With a Father’s Heart”), the pope said Christians can discover in St. Joseph, who often goes unnoticed, “an intercessor, a support and a guide in times of trouble.” “St. Joseph reminds us that those who appear hidden or in the shadows can play an incomparable role in the history of salvation. A word of recognition and of gratitude is due to them all,” he said. As Mary’s husband and guardian of the son of God, St. Joseph turned “his human voca- tion to domestic love into a superhuman oblation of himself, his heart and all his abilities, a love placed at the service of the Messiah who was growing to maturity in his home.” Despite being troubled at first by Mary’s pregnancy, he added, St. Joseph was obedient to God’s will “regardless of the hardship involved.” “In every situation, Joseph declared his own ‘fiat,’ like those of Mary at the Annunciation and Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane,” the pope Continued on page 14 Capitol attack Read what Pope Francis and other faith leaders said about the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol, page 15.

Hilary offers an understanding of salvation in which Christ saves humanity by assuming every single person into his body in the incarnation. My dissertation contributes to scholarship on Hilary in two ways. First, I demonstrate that Hilary’s teaching concerning Christ’s assumption of all humanity is a unique development of Latin sources. Because of his understanding of Christ’s assumption of all humanity, Hilary, along with several Greek fathers, has been accused of heterodoxy resulting from Greek Platonic influence. I demonstrate that Hilary is not influenced by Platonism; rather, though his redemption model is unique among the early Latin fathers, he derives his theology from a combination of Latin-influenced biblical exegesis and classical Roman themes.
