Monastic Life in the First Centuries of Christianity
This introduction to Monastic Life in the First Centuries of Christianity was originally a course given to the novitiate of the Abbey of Venière. It is, therefore, not a presentation of the results of the cutting edge of the current research on the ancient monasticism, nor is it an exhaustive accumulation of information on the subject, nor the elaboration of original thought. It is simply an introduction to the monastic tradition of the first Christian centuries and a key to reading and understanding the ancient monastic texts by oneself.
Love of God and Love of Neighbor
"Before all else, dear brothers, love God and then your neighbor because these are the commandments which were given to us first." - This short prologue is the beginning of the Rule of St. Augustin. Those who, in the 12th century, placed these words here undoubtedly knew the writings of Augustine very well and sensed that the double commandment was at once the motor-the dynamic power-and the fruit of the Rule. Without entering into a study of the Rule as a whole, we would like to gain a deeper understanding of the prologue, and the best way to do this is by reading Augustine's writings. Two questions will guide us in our study:1) Since there are two commandments, are there two distinct kinds of love?2) How do love of God and love of neighbor relate?
A Gate to Heaven
Etienne Nodet proposes that Qumran functioned as a pilgrimage site for the Essenes from the 1st century BC onwards. Nodet suggests that the Essenes were scattered everywhere within Palestine in rural communities and that they used to commemorate a renewal of the early Israelites' entrance into the Promised Land, after crossing the Jordan river and celebrating Passover at Gilgal with Joshua, Moses' heir. The Essene dead were moved to be buried at Qumran in a well-organized graveyard, as the place was deemed to be a kind of gate to heaven. Nodet shows how the Jewish movement of the Essenes did not did not disappear after the war in 70 CE, rather its customs had a strong influence upon early Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism. The chapters of this book examine the Essenes in the period after the war in Jerusalem, showing how this community developed and its longer term significance. This is linked to the texts of the New Testament, to the writings of Josephus and to the Qumran community's own documents, the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Le Dialogue comme Mission de la Famille Dominicaine: En mémoire de Chrys McVey
Ce livre est inspirant et tres lisible, plein de sagesse pour la vie de l'Eglise aujourd'hui. L'accent n'est pas tant sur sa personne du dominicain Chrys McVey, mais sur sa vision de la mission chretienne en dialogue pour la vie monde et la paix entre les
"The Poor, the Crippled, the Blind, and the Lame"
The New Testament gospels feature numerous social exchanges between Jesus and people with various physical and sensory disabilities. Despite this, traditional biblical scholarship has not seen these people as agents in their own right but existing only to highlight the actions of Jesus as a miracle worker. In this study, Louise A. Gosbell uses disability as a lens through which to explore a number of these passages anew. Using the cultural model of disability as the theoretical basis, she explores the way that the gospel writers, as with other writers of the ancient world, used the language of disability as a means of understanding, organising, and interpreting the experiences of humanity. Her investigation highlights the ways in which the gospel writers reinforce and reflect, as well as subvert, culturally-driven constructions of disability in the ancient world.
