The problem of evil has generated varying attempts at theodicy. To show that suffering is defeated for a sufferer, a theodicy argues that there is an outweighing benefit which could not have been gotten without the suffering. Typically, this condition has the tacit presupposition given that this is a post-Fall world. Consequently, there is a sense in which human suffering would not be shown to be defeated even if there were a successful theodicy because a theodicy typically implies that the benefit in question could have been gotten without the suffering if there had not been a Fall. There is a part of the problem of evil that would remain, then, even if there were a successful theodicy. Thi...
Bible Missals are manuscripts that integrate liturgical prayers for the Mass with the scriptural texts of the Latin Vulgate. Long overlooked by scholars, Bible Missals offer important evidence for the development of the medieval liturgy and the liturgical use of scripture by medieval Christians. This monograph is the first comprehensive analysis of the codicology and contents of Bible Missals. Mostly produced in the first half of the 13th century by professional book makers in centers like Paris and Oxford, these hybrid manuscripts were customized for secular, monastic, and mendicant patrons. This monograph focuses on Dominican Bible Missals, the largest group within the repertoire, providing detailed codicological descriptions of each manuscript and analyzing their texts for the Order of Mass and selected liturgical formularies, including prayers for the feast of St. Dominic. For medieval Christians, the words and events of scripture were continually called to mind and reenacted in the sacramental rites of the Mass. Bible Missals provide important material evidence for this interplay between word and sacrament.
[…] Od 1996 roku, kiedy zacząłem pracę w UMK, upłynęło już 24 lata. Czas ten postrzegam w moim życiu jako szczególnie ważny, ubogacający i twórczy. Zaczynałem jako profesor UMK w Instytucie Pedagogiki Wydziału Humanistycznego, kończyłem jako profesor na Wydziale Nauk Pedagogicznych i Wydziale Teologicznym. Większość moich wspomnień wiąże się więc z pracą naukowo-dydaktyczną na wspomnianych wyżej wydziałach. Uczestniczyłem w ważnych wydarzeniach życia Uczelni, dane mi było także wejść od środka w życie Torunia jako miasta, poznać ludzi znaczących dla jego dawniejszej i najnowszej historii. Okruchy wspomnień z pracy w tych środowiskach niech będą czymś w rodzaju wdzięcznego hołdu, szczególnie dla Uniwersytetu – Almae Matris Torunensis i miasta Torunia. Chciałbym jednocześnie na początku tych wspomnień ukazać – choć pokrótce – skąd przyszedłem i co kształtowało mnie, zanim w 1996 roku rozpocząłem pracę w UMK1. W drugiej części tej książki zamieszczam teksty homilii, jakie wygłosiłem podczas pogrzebów tych ludzi Uczelni, których żegnaliśmy, którzy odeszli do wieczności. […]

Why churches in some democratic nations wield enormous political power while churches in other democracies don't In some religious countries, churches have drafted constitutions, restricted abortion, and controlled education. In others, church influence on public policy is far weaker. Why? Nations under God argues that where religious and national identities have historically fused, churches gain enormous moral authority—and covert institutional access. These powerful churches then shape policy in backrooms and secret meetings instead of through open democratic channels such as political parties or the ballot box. Through an in-depth historical analysis of six Christian democracies that sh...
This volume contains a bibliography of the research on the Dead Sea Scrolls published during the last 25 years, and as such it provides scholars with an indispensable tool for further research. Although originally planned as a continuation of B. Jongeling's A Classified Bibliography of the Finds of the Desert of Judah 1958-1969, the materials are presented in a different way in order to avoid unnecessary duplications of entries. Each bibliographical entry is alphabetically listed in the first part of the book and is provided with an identification number which allows for multiple classifications. The second part offers a sophisticated classification of the materials by themes, topics and key words, but also by manuscript numbers and titles of the compositions as well as by authors.
