  • Book Reviews
    Theological Studies 68 (2007) BOOK REVIEWS OPENING THE SEALED BOOK:INTERPRETATIONS OF THE BOOK OF ISAIAH IN LATE ANTIQUITY. By Joseph Blenkinsopp. Grand Rapids, Mich.: Eerd- mans, 2006. Pp. 335. $25. Blenkinsopp recently completed Anchor Bible’s three-volume commen- tary on the Book of Isaiah. His work there not only resulted in detailed analysis of the shape and purpose of the Isaian text, but also led B. to realize the influence of the interpretive process, already begun in the final redaction of the book, on a variety of works and movements in the fol- lowing centuries. Here B. explores three models of Isaiah drawn from the book itself: (1) the prophet who announces judgment as God’s critic of society and defender of the marginal; (2) the prophet as apocalyptic seer who announces imminent final judgment; and (3) the prophet as “man of God” who (in general a hero of the past) heals, intercedes, works miracles, and the like. Each model played a role among different groups, but the most important trajectory for B. is that of the apocalyptic seer, given Isaiah’s heavy influence on the Book of Daniel, the Qumran sectar- ians, and the earliest Palestinian Christianity. Two themes are key: the penitent remnant that survives the Exile, and the sealed book hiding Isa- iah’s words until a future completion (Isa. 8:16; 29:11–12). B. concludes that both Qumran and Christianity likely emphasized these themes because each of their founders, the Teacher of Righteousness and Jesus, applied them to himself. Studies of their respective uses of Isaian texts can help exegetes reach better comparative understandings of the first Christians and the Qumran community, and see more clearly how Jesus and Chris- tianity stood within the orbit of sectarian Judaism.

Le bon accueil réservé à ce répertoire amena il y a quelques années le Centre à envisager la possibilité de le rééditer, mais avec les mises à jour et les améliorations qui s’imposaient. C’est alors que Jean LeBlanc, ancien bibliothécaire à l’Université d’Ottawa, s’offrit à réaliser sous l’égide du Centre le projet en question, projet auquel il entendait toutefois donner une ampleur dépassant de loin celle que nous avions au départ envisagée. Cette offre fut aussitôt acceptée et, à notre grande satisfaction, paraissait en 2002, chez l’éditeur Wilson & Lafleur, dans la collection Gratianus dirigée par le professeur Ernest Caparros, le Dictionnaire biographique des évêques catholiques du Canada, « monument » de quelque 880 pages qui fut dès sa sortie très bien reçu.

  • The Controversy Surrounding the 2008 Good Friday Prayer in Europe: the Discussion and Its Theological Implications 11.09.2009 | Henrix, Hans Hermann
    Jewish-Christian Relations Insights and Issues in the ongoing Jewish-Christian Dialogue The Controversy Surrounding the 2008 Good Friday Prayer in Europe: The Discussion and its Theological Implications 11.09.2009 | Henrix, Hans Hermann With courtesy of The Council of Centers on Jewish-Christian Relations, United States/Canada The Controversy Surrounding the 2008 Good Friday Prayer in Europe: The Discussion and its Theological Implications* Hans Hermann Henrix Good Friday of the year 2008 has a unique place in the history of Catholic-Jewish relations. The Good Friday prayer “for the Jews” that was promulgated by Pope Benedict XVI and published in a note from the Secretariat of State on February 4, 2008 triggered significant controversy affecting Catholic-Jewish relations. The 2008 text of the intercession reads: Let us pray for the Jews. That our God and Lord enlighten their hearts so that they recognize Jesus Christ, the Savior of all mankind. Let us pray. Let us kneel down. Arise. Eternal God Almighty, you want all people to be saved and to arrive at the knowledge of the Truth. Graciously grant that when the fullness of nations enters your Church, all Israel will be saved. Through Christ our Lord.1 Both the way the publication and communication were handled and the theological implications of the intercession generated this controversy. This article records the basic themes of the European discussion on this matter, reporting on the political dialogue accompanying the controversy. It will also raise questions about whether the 2008 Good Friday prayer should be understood as an opening for further Catholic liturgical changes and about whether requests for Jewish reciprocity liturgically are relevant.

The adoption of the new English translation of the Ro- man Missal has been approved by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) during its plenary assembly in January this year. Some parts of familiar responses and prayers have been amended to reflect the true meaning in the original Latin text, the language of the Roman liturgy. In the Introductory Rites, for instance, the response of the faithful “And also with you” to the priest’s greeting “The Lord be with you” has been replaced with “And with your spirit.” © Noli Yamsuan / RCAM Yamsuan © Noli Similar changes have also been introduced in other parts of the Mass, such as the Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of the Eucharist and the Concluding Rites.
