An innovative overview of the influence of the Apocalypse on the shaping of the Christian culture of the Middle Ages.
Die Kirche lebt aus ihren lebendigen Quellen. Neben der Heiligen Schrift sind dies in erster Linie die Kirchenväter und die Konzilsväter, die durch ihr Leben und mit ihren Schriften der Kirche Gestalt gegeben haben. Wie aber verstanden sie selbst die Kirche und wie haben spätere Theologen wiederum ihre Bedeutung für die Kirche bewertet? Der vorliegende Sammelband soll diesen Fragen nachgehen. Für die Kirchen- und Konzilsväter selbst steht dabei ihr Kirchenverständnis im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung, für die mittelalterlichen und neuzeitlichen Theologen soll vor allem der Frage nachgegangen werden, welche Rolle die Rezeption der Kirchenväter für die Ausgestaltung ihres eigenen Kirch...
The theologians and major thinkers of the medieval period developed their thought in complicated ways, giving rise to the term scholasticism, which was the method of learning associated with the great schools of the period. Theology was the center of thought, and finding one's way through the many and complex theological ideas introduced during this era can be very difficult. This accessible reference work clarifies these ideas and provides an extensive guide to the main theological features of medieval theology. Author James Ginther provides clear and compelling discussions of major Christian thinkers, sociocultural developments, and key terms and concepts related to the period. Both students and scholars will find this an eminently useful resource for the study of medieval theology.

Gerard of Abbeville (d. 1272) was the foremost secular theologian at the University of Paris during the third quarter of the thirteenth century. Significantly, Gerard’s corpus includes the most comprehensive treatment of the nature and extent of human knowledge from the generation before Henry of Ghent. Stephen M. Metzger’s study presents Gerard’s complete theory of human knowledge, which is a hierarchy extending from the knowledge acquired in faith, through scientific thought and culminating in the full vision of God by the blessed in patria. It is the fullest exposition of the life, works and thought of Gerard yet written and is augmented by the presentation for the first time of editions of several disputed questions and other texts.
This Sevens Pattern is the first time ever seen and its been hidden within the 66 books of the Bible all this time, Till now. Many others have brought forward books that say they have decoded the Scriptures, and some of them may even say theyve solved the mysteries of Scripture. Yet, how do they prove it? Does their method prove itself? The Sevens Pattern is a journey toward the ultimate of all truths. Lloyd Elson Jr. has written this manuscript with one intention alone, and that is to show people in this world that there is far more to Scripture than words that are read. Scripture is one of the most intriguing hiding places for The Sevens Patterns it was so fascinating to me from the moment...
