News of María of Ágreda's exceptional attributes spread from her cloistered convent in seventeenth-century Ågreda (Spain) to the court in Madrid and beyond. Without leaving her village, the abbess impacted the kingdom, her church, and the New World; Spanish Hapsburg king Felipe IV sought her spiritual and political counsel for over twenty-two years. Based upon her transcendent visionary experiences, Sor María chronicled the life of Mary, mother of Jesus of Nazareth, in Mystical City of God, a work the Spanish Inquisition temporarily condemned. In America, reports emerged that she had miraculously appeared to Jumano Native Americans - a feat corroborated by witnesses in Spain, Texas, and ...
The Spirit and the Church celebrates the life and legacy of Peter Damian Fehlner, OFM Conv., who for the past six decades has carried the torch of the Franciscan theological and philosophical vision in the fields of ecclesiology, pneumatology, Mariology, and anthropology. Articles by colleagues, former students, and associates fall into three broad categories, corresponding with several of the main areas in which Fehlner has made a longstanding scholarly contribution: the Church’s Magisterium and development of doctrine, anthropology,comma and creation; the relation between Mariology, pneumatology, and ecclesiology; and scholarly seeds planted by Fehlner now being cultivated and harvested by younger scholars. All of the essays in this volume engage with Fehlner, evaluate his contributions, and build upon and expand in new directions the contributions of our honoree. The essays in this volume manifest the contemporary relevance of Fehlner’s Franciscan vision in terms of his invitation to renew the theology of the Church in a Marian mode in the light of Vatican II.
Tras la lectura de un pasaje de la Biblia en las celebraciones litúrgicas, el lector o lectora concluye siempre: «Palabra de Dios». Un hecho tan habitual en la vida del cristiano, suscita sin embargo no pocas preguntas: ¿cómo puede ser Palabra de Dios lo escrito en un libro humano?; ¿por qué escuchamos la Palabra de Dios precisamente en unos determinados libros, los que forman y componen la Biblia?; ¿cuál es la parte de Dios y la parte humana en la composición de esos libros?; ¿cómo pueden conjugarse ambos autores?; ¿qué consecuencias tiene todo esto para una lectura e interpretación adecuada de la Biblia dentro de la Iglesia? Dar respuesta a estas cuestiones es el objeto de este volumen.
Esta obra tiene como objetivo exponer la génesis de la Biblia desde una palabra divina interior oída por los autores sagrados y revestida luego del ropaje exterior del lenguaje humano escrito. Cuando Jeremías oyó en su interior su oráculo de 31,33: "Pondré mi ley en su interior, y la escribiré en sus corazones", sucedió algo esencialmente nuevo en la evolución de la religiosidad humana. El profeta había descubierto algo ignorado en decenas de milenios sobre el misterio de la práctica religiosa. Jeremías vio que lo religioso no era ni el rito ni lo moral. Lo religioso afectaba al hombre en su interioridad. Si al autor de esta obra se le preguntase sobre lo primordial de la inspiración bíblica, respondería con decisión, como Gadamer respondió a la pregunta de Grondin sobre lo universal de la hermenéutica, en su testamento hermenéutico de 1988: la inspiración es la producción del verbum interius en el hombre.
Would you like to learn to pray like a medieval Christian? In Mary and the Art of Prayer, Rachel Fulton Brown traces the history of the medieval practice of praising Mary through the complex of prayers known as the Hours of the Virgin. More than just a work of comprehensive historical scholarship, the book asks readers to immerse themselves in the experience of believing in and praying to Mary. Mary and the Art of Prayer crosses the boundaries that modern scholars typically place between observation and experience, between the world of provable facts and the world of imagination, suggesting what it would have been like for medieval Christians to encounter Mary in prayer. Mary and the Art of ...
An award-winning historian's examination of impossible events at the dawn of modernity and of their enduring significance Accounts of seemingly impossible phenomena abounded in the early modern era--tales of levitation, bilocation, and witchcraft--even as skepticism, atheism, and empirical science were starting to supplant religious belief in the paranormal. In this book, Carlos Eire explores how a culture increasingly devoted to scientific thinking grappled with events deemed impossible by its leading intellectuals. Eire observes how levitating saints and flying witches were as essential a component of early modern life as the religious turmoil of the age, and as much a part of history as N...

This volume demonstrates that the Catholic rhetoric of tradition disguised both novelties and creative innovations between 1550 and 1700. Innovation in Early Modern Catholicism reveals that the period between 1550 and 1700 emerged as an intellectually vibrant atmosphere, shaped by the tensions between personal creativity and magisterial authority. The essays explore ideas about grace, physical predetermination, freedom, and probabilism in order to show how the rhetoric of innovation and tradition can be better understood. More importantly, contributors illustrate how disintegrated historiographies, which often excluded Catholicism as a source of innovation, can be overcome. Not only were new...
En el verano de 1961 se difundió la noticia de que cuatro niñas veían a la Virgen en la aldea de San Sebastián de Garabandal. El hecho de que las niñas llegaran a negar las apariciones ha sido el principal motivo por el que llegó a parecer que la Iglesia católica las daba por falsas. Sin embargo, las videntes nunca afirmaron que todo fuera falso y con el tiempo se reafirmaron en la realidad de sus visiones. Mientras tanto, la Iglesia corregía su juicio sobre Garabandal. Aunque la autoridad diocesana –el obispo de Santander– haya suspendido el juicio negativo sobre las apariciones, el clero de esa diócesis sigue, no solo pensando que son falsas, sino manifestando esa opinión. Bu...
