Celsus and Origen on Divine Descent
This book discusses Celsus and Origen's opposing views on divine descent. The commentary focuses on persuasive strategies, communication with readers, and conceptions of God and his relation to the world.
Celsus and Origen on Divine Descent
Can the Divine itself come down to earth? The Platonist Celsus rejected it as most shameful, Origen however defended this idea as an essential part of Christian doctrine. This book comments on passages from Origen’s Against Celsus 4 in which both authors put forward their arguments. The Greek text is discussed from three perspectives: linguistics, rhetoric and philosophical theology. This approach includes a focus on the communication between author and readers, the structure of the discourse, and the persuasive strategies used by Celsus and Origen. Attention is also given to conceptions of God and his relation to the world, which form the backdrop to their arguments. Moreover, their theological conceptions are related to the wider philosophical discourse of the Greco-Roman age.
Essays on Theology and Religious Studies
The annual collection of scientific articles of the Brussels Theological Faculty partly covers all current research areas. Theology and the study of religion are under pressure from increasing polarization and radicalization. The Faculty of Theology in Brussels has both feet firmly planted on the world stage and offers a number of articles on topical themes in this volume. In this volume, which is an anniversary issue since we face the 20 the volume, we pay attention to current themes such as decolonization and theology, as well as to cultural-historical movements and trends. In an annual collection of scholarly articles from a Protestant Theological Faculty, fundamental research of the Bible should not be missing. Anyone interested in biblical sciences can also take advantage of this collection. We hope to offer the reader insight and an engaging reading experience.

Fish atlas of the Celtic Sea, North Sea, and Baltic Sea
The atlas presents a unique set of abundance data to describe the spatial, depth, size, and temporal distribution of demersal and pelagic fish species over an extensive marine area, together with accounts of their biology. A large number of pictures, graphs and distribution maps illustrate the text. By largely avoiding - or at least explaining - scientific terms and providing extensive references, the book should be useful for both laymen and scientists. The quantitative information on some 200 fish taxa is derived from 72,000 stations fished by research vessels during the period 1977-2013. The area covers the northwest European shelf from west of Ireland to the central Baltic Sea and from Brittany to the Shetlands. Although the surveys extend beyond the shelf edge, only taxa reported at least once in waters less than 200 m are included. Typical deep-water species and typical fresh-water species are excluded. We hope this publication will contribute to gaining a better understanding of the ocean ecosystems.
