New Techniques for Proving Plagiarism
This book demonstrates that the principles of textual criticism—borrowed from the fields of classics and medieval studies—have a valuable application for plagiarism investigations. Plagiarists share key features with medieval scribes who worked in scriptoriums and produced copies of manuscripts. Both kinds of copyists—scribes and plagiarists—engage in similar processes, and they commit distinctive copying errors. When committed by plagiarists, these copying errors have probative value for making determinations that a text is copied, and hence, unoriginal. To show the efficacy of the newly proposed techniques for proving plagiarism, case studies are drawn from philosophy, theology, and canon law.
The Corruption of Theological Institutions by Plagiarism in Dissertations
This study examines theological dissertations by international students accepted by major Austrian universities and shows that academic incompetence, plagiarism, and negligent supervision are seriously damaging theological institutions – in Europe and abroad. Some Catholic priests from developing countries receive theological doctorates in Austria by submitting substandard dissertations. Overwhelmed by culture shock and lacking proper academic guidance, these students resort to copying and manipulating data. Many go on to become church leaders at home. This study addresses the damage done by deficient dissertations.
Moral Dilemmas in Medieval Thought
The history of moral dilemma theory often ignores the medieval period, overlooking the sophisticated theorizing by several thinkers who debated the existence of moral dilemmas from 1150 to 1450. In this book Michael V. Dougherty offers a rich and fascinating overview of the debates which were pursued by medieval philosophers, theologians and canon lawyers, illustrating his discussion with a diverse range of examples of the moral dilemmas which they considered. He shows that much of what seems particular to twentieth-century moral theory was well-known long ago - especially the view of some medieval thinkers that some forms of wrongdoing are inescapable, and their emphasis on the principle 'choose the lesser of two evils'. His book will be valuable not only to advanced students and specialists of medieval thought, but also to those interested in the history of ethics.
Liturgiereform und Ordensgemeinschaften
Die Rezeption der Liturgiereform nach dem Zweiten Vatikanum war nicht nur für die territorial verfassten Diözesen eine Herausforderung, sondern auch für Klöster und andere Ordensniederlassungen mit einer je eigenen gottesdienstlichen Praxis. Der Band bietet erste Untersuchungen zur liturgischen Erneuerung in einzelnen Ordenstraditionen im deutschen Sprachgebiet. Sie geben einen Einblick in eine bisher wenig wahrgenommene kirchliche Praxis.

Charisms and the Holy Spirit's Activity in the Body of Christ
The task of understanding Paul's theology of charisms presents one with a number of difficulties because not all the uses of the word charisma in the Pauline corpus offer the same perspective. This dissertation is dedicated to an exegetical-theological study of 1 Cor 12, 4-11 and Rom 12, 6-8, two important passages where the Apostle Paul develops most fully his idea of charisms in connection with his concept of the Church as the body of Christ. This work seeks to interpret exegetically those Pauline passages that deal with charisma in order to arrive at a sound interpretation of his teaching on spiritual gifts. The author pays particular attention to the role of the Holy Spirit in distributing these gifts to believers.
