Peeters Publishers Zeger-Bernard Van Espen: At the Crossroads of
Book SynopsisThe volume contains the text of 23 papers read at the colloquium (Louvain, 21st-23rd September 2000) on Zeger-Bernard van Espen (1646-1728), the most important canonist of the ancient Louvain University.Several contributions seek to gauge the influence of Van Espen in a number of European countries: France, Italy, Spain, the German Empire and the United Provinces. Van Espen's influence was not merely investigated from a geographical perspective. The question was also raised as to how well his ideas survived the passage of time. How was Van Espen viewed in the 19th century? How was he used or misused?Hitherto, those who inquired into the personality and work of Van Espen have treated him almost exclusively from a 'Jansenist' perspective. The present volume seeks to break through this one-sidedness by approaching the man and his work from a legal and theological viewpoint, and from that of canon law and ecclesiology.From Gratian's "Concordia discordantium canonum" to Van Espen's "Separando certa ab incertis explicare et conciliare": the Louvain canonist was eminently aware of the canonical tradition within which he developed and formulated his ideas. More than being a Jansenist or a regalist or a Gallican, Van Espen was a jurist, who thought and reasoned on the basis of the law and structures of the Church. The protection of "that which is right", including the subjective rights of clerics and lay people, was his subject, his goal and his duty. On the basis of a sincere scientific, historical and philological approach to canon law, he came to conclusions which did not necessarily correspond to Rome's views on Church and State, moral theology, law and ecclesiology. This is not merely attributable to his Jansenist, rigorist, Gallican and regalist prejudices in these sensitive areas, but, probably to a greater extent than has been assumed hitherto, to his training as an academic, as a jurist, and as a canonist.

Peeters Publishers After Qumran: Old and Modern Editions of the
Book SynopsisThe discoveries of the Dead Sea, as we are used to call them, have changed the scholarly landscape of textual criticism to a considerable, if not enormous, extent. The state of the art with respect to both the textual development and the interpretation of the literary and theological form of individual biblical books has been seriously challenged. It appears as if no single book can escape from reinterpretation from this perspective. One of the collections of texts that can serve as an outstanding example on which the Dead Sea Scrolls have shed new light, can be found in the so-called Historical Books. Against that background, and in co-operation with the Louvain Centre for Septuagint Studies and Textual Criticism (CSSTC) of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (BE) and the Universidad de Alcala (ES), the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (ES) has organised an international expert symposium on the theme: 'After Qumran: old and new editions of biblical texts - the Historical Books' (31 May ' 2 June 2010). This volume presents the proceedings of this highly enriching symposium.

Peeters Publishers L'épître aux Philippiens: L'Évangile du don et de
Book SynopsisL’épître de Paul est une lettre d’amitié, écrite pour réceptionner l’aide financière envoyée par les Philippiens à l’apôtre. La lettre vise à faire entrer les destinataires dans la perfection de l’amour, en redéfinissant un nouvel ethos de la communion et de l’échange de dons, à partir de l’évangile de la grâce de Dieu et des requêtes les plus hautes de la culture gréco-romaine de la bienfaisance et de l’amitié. Si vis-à-vis de certaines communautés Paul n’accepta aucune aide financière, pour manifester au commencement la gratuité de l’évangile et la liberté nouvelle qui en résulte, son attitude envers les Philippiens indique que la maturité et la perfection chrétienne s’accueillent et se vérifient au final dans les actes les plus simples, les plus concrets et les plus habituels de la vie relationnelle. C’est toute une théologie de la nature et de la grâce qui se découvre et s’accomplit dans la praxis financière de l’apôtre et dans la rhétorique épistolaire qu’il met en ÷uvre pour l’accompagner.

Peeters Publishers Built on Rock or Sand?: Q Studies: Retrospects,
Book SynopsisThis volume contains the proceedings of an international Q symposium held at Graz University on July 20 – 23, 2011. The conference presented the current state of Q studies and spelled out their future directions through interpretations of particular texts and methodological reflections. One important thrust of the discussions during the conference concerned the literary character of Q: Is it possible or indeed necessary to reconstruct the wording of Q? How coherent, “finished” and scribalized was Q? Other central topics related to the social and theological importance of Q: What were the contexts of the composition of Q? How can the relationships between Q and ancient Judaism(s) and nascent Christ groups be described? Particular attention was given to the issues of (1) oral and scribal factors, (2) narratological and intertextual approaches, (3) reconstruction and redaction criticism, (4) ethos and Torah, (5) Q and the Gospel of Matthew, (6) Q and the Gospel of John and (7) new approaches to the Q hypothesis and the Synoptic Problem. Contributors include G.B. Bazzana, R.A. Derrenbacker, Jr., D. Dormeyer, H.T. Fleddermann, P. Foster, M. Frenschkowski, P.J. Judge, S.R. Johnson, J.S. Kloppenborg, M. Labahn, D.R. MacDonald, D.T.

Peeters Publishers The Books of the Twelve Prophets: Minor Prophets
Book SynopsisIn diesem Band werden die neuesten Ergebnisse der Forschung am Zwölfprophetenbuch zu-sammengetragen. Weltweit existieren gegenwärtig mehrere Forschergruppen, die sich neben zahlreichen Detailfragen besonders damit beschäftigen, ob und wie das Zwölfprophetenbuch als Sammlung ehemals selbstständiger Einzelschriften entstanden, wie es strukturiert ist und welche Leitgedanken die diversen Redaktionsgänge bestimmt haben. Führende Forscherinnen und Forscher haben in diesem Buch ihre Ergebnisse vorgelegt. Rezente Forschungsansätze fragen nach intertextuellen Verknüpfungen der XII mit den Großen Propheten und der Weis-heitsliteratur. Und schließlich sind ihre theologischen Thematiken der Sozialkritik, der gerechten und ökologisch verantworteten Lebensgestaltung, der Messiaserwartung und der Theodizee thematische Schwergewichte und ihre Rezeption in Qumran, im Neuen Testament und in der rabbinischen Literatur zeigt ihre Brisanz, die sich besonders in der aktuellen Debatte um die Gewalt Gottes in den Prophetentexten artikuliert.

Peeters Publishers A Polyglot Edition of the Book of Ben Sira with a
Book SynopsisIn Jerusalem of the early second century, a Jewish teacher, later widely, and simply, known as Ben Sira, wrote, in contemporary Hebrew, a collection of proverbs designed to advise his co-religionists how to express and maintain their Jewishness and values in the face of a dominant Hellenistic culture. His proverbs were later translated into Greek by his grandson. Because the early Church, but not Rabbinic Judaism, included the book in its scriptural canon, the original Hebrew gradually gave way to the Greek, Latin and Syriac versions and was virtually lost in the late medieval and early modern periods. The late nineteenth-century discoveries from the Cairo Genizah restored Hebrew versions of much of the book. Academic use of Ben Sira’s work is now greatly facilitated by this scientific polyglot of all four versions, originally planned and initiated by Friedrich V. Reiterer at the University of Salzburg, and now brought to fruition by the painstaking scholarly efforts of Renate Egger-Wenzel, who has also provided a text edition of the Hebrew manuscripts and a guide to the project and to the volume.

Peeters Publishers Le temps qui compte: Construction et
Book SynopsisLes livres de Samuel (1 S 1 – 1 R 2)se présentent comme un récit à prétention historiographique. Ils relatent le siècle d’histoire qui va de la naissance de Samuel à la mort de David. Pour raconter cette longue période dans la durée relativement brève du récit, le narrateur ne cesse d’opérer des choix temporels d’ordre divers. Le présent ouvrage s’intéresse à la construction du temps du récit. Il s’agit de voir comment cette construction vise non seulement à rendre compte du cours de l’histoire mais surtout à le qualifier. En effet, l’ensemble des choix temporels semble conduit par un souci mimétique mais il constitue surtout un propos implicite sur la signification des événements rapportés. Les formes et les modes de l’articulation entre le temps du récit et le temps de l’histoire se révèlent donc être un lieu privilégié pour appréhender la visée du projet historiographique de 1 S 1 – 1 R 2. Les composantes les plus significatives de cette articulation sont les indications calendaires qui balisent la narration, la prééminence donnée à l’unité du jour, l’organisation de séquences de jours, la conjugaison des ressources temporelles propres aux trois genres littéraires présents en 1 S 1 – 1 R 2: le récit, l’oracle prophétique et le poème lyrique. Chacun de ces éléments fait l’objet d’une étude systématique. Ils sont ensuite envisagés ensemble, dans leur contribution commune à la mise en valeur de ce qu’on pourrait appeler «le temps qui compte» dans ce siècle d’histoire. La tapisserie de Gleb, qui illustre la couverture, représenteles quatre lettres hébraïques du nom divin hwhy YHWH. Elles sont disposées detelle sorte qu’on peut y voir également une figuration humaine. Cette œuvreentre en résonance avec la recherche menée dans le présent ouvrage. Dansl’épaisseur du «tissu» narratif, dans sa texture où se croisent comme autant defils des voix aux temporalités distinctes, les modalités de l’articulationserrée entre l’action divine et celle des humains sont finement explorées. Ellesinvitent le lecteur à un examen attentif. Qui voit-il à l’œuvre dansl’histoire?
