Due to the long presence of Muslims in Islamic territories (Al-Andalus and Granada) and of Muslims minorities in the Christians parts, the Iberian Peninsula provides a fertile soil for the study of the Qur’an and Qur’an translations made by both Muslims and Christians. From the mid-twelfth century to at least the end of the seventeenth, the efforts undertaken by Christian scholars and churchmen, by converts, by Muslims (both Mudejars and Moriscos) to transmit, interpret and translate the Holy Book are of the utmost importance for the understanding of Islam in Europe. This book reflects on a context where Arabic books and Arabic speakers who were familiar with the Qur’an and its exegesis coexisted with Christian scholars. The latter not only intended to convert Muslims, and polemize with them but also to adquire solid knowledge about them and about Islam. Qur’ans were seized during battle, bought, copied, translated, transmitted, recited, and studied. The different features and uses of the Qur’an on Iberian soil, its circulation as well as the lives and works of those who wrote about it and the responses of their audiences, are the object of this book.
With a raucous St Patrick’s Day dinner at Fort Salisbury (Harare) in 1891, a mere seven months after the Pioneer Column raised their flag on Cecil Square, the Mashonaland Irish Association was founded. Not only is it the oldest expatriate association in Zimbabwe, the MIA is the oldest Irish association on the African continent. The association developed into a vehicle for celebrating Irishness through a busy social calendar and welfare programmes. For over a century, the MIA has weathered the various challenges and upheavals of a shared colonial experience and Zimbabwe’s struggle for independence. Today, it continues to celebrate all things Irish while embracing its diaspora as it approa...
Jerome Gracián (1545–1614) was the first provincial of the Discalced Carmelite Order and a close collaborator of Saint Teresa of Ávila, the order's foundress. He brought stability and growth to St. Teresa's movement when it was still in its infancy, particularly among the friars. Praising Gracián in the Book of Her Foundations, Teresa writes: "Had I very much desired to ask His Majesty for a person to organize all things pertaining to the order in these initial stages, I would not have succeeded in asking for all that He gave me in Father Gracián. Our Lady has chosen him to help her order." After certain intrigues resulted in Gracián's expulsion from the order, he appealed to Rome and...
Una biografia divulgativa del beato Tito. La figura del beato – carmelitano frisone, professore universitario a Nimega, strenuo difensore della dignità umana e dei diritti di Dio di fronte al nazismo – viene illustrata in senso cronologico fino al martirio di Dachau (26 luglio 1942). «Sacerdote carmelitano, giornalista, professore di filosofia e di storia della mistica, interessato al dialogo ecumenico, ecclesiastico con importanti responsabilità... un lungo elenco che fa della biografia di p.

Na de Franse Tijd mochten de karmelieten van Boxmeer van overheidswege geen novicen meer aannemen. Toen koning Willem II dit verbod in 1840 ophief, waren er nog drie broeders over. Meteen meldden zich nieuwe leden en in 1855 werd in Zenderen een tweede klooster geopend. Vanouds combineerde de orde actief en contemplatief leven. Eind negentiende eeuw brak een expansieperiode aan die voortduurde tot in de jaren 1960. Er verrezen nieuwe kloosters die gekoppeld waren aan categoriale en parochiële zielzorg en/of middelbaar onderwijs. De eigen opleiding en de wetenschappelijke vorming kregen meer aandacht. De Karmel werd steeds actiever en verwierf zich een plaats binnen katholiek Nederland. Titus Brandsma werd de bekendste karmeliet. Nederlandse karmelieten droegen bij aan de opbouw van de orde in Europa en elders. Zij (her)stichtten provincies in Duitsland, Brazilië, Indonesië en de Filippijnen. De jaren zeventig leidden tot een heroriëntering.
"At the invitation of the Institutum Carmelitanum, scholars from around the world gathered in Lisieux in July 2005 to study the formula vitae which St. Albert of Jerusalem bestowed on the Latin Hermits of Mount Carmel eight centuries ago"--P. [11].
Con el lema «Teología con alma bíblica» este libro de homenaje al Prof. Dr. José Ramón Busto Saiz quiere reconocer su trabajo académico y científico a lo largo de sus muchos años de docencia e investigación. Tiene por autores a un buen grupo de profesores de la facultad de Teología de la Universidad Pontificia Comillas de Madrid que expresan así su agradecimiento al profesor y maestro, al estudioso y divulgador de la Sagrada Escritura, al decano y rector.
Este Cuaderno de Teología recoge varias de las ponencias que se presentaron en las Jornadas de Teología de la Facultad, en febrero de 2005, cuyo título fue el que lleva este número. Como novedad se presenta el diálogo que hubo tras las ponencias del último día que trataron sobre la Resurrección. Aunque la del profesor Torres Queiruga no ha sido posible presentarla aquí, sí que se ha querido que apareciera el rico e interesante diálogo que hubo entre él, el profesor Arregui, primer ponente de esa tarde, y el moderador de la mesa.
