European history: Renaissance Books
Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Hebrew Bible / Old Testament. III: From Modernism
Book SynopsisThe long and complex history of reception and interpretation of the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament through the ages, described in the HBOT Project, is in the penultimate part volume three pursued to the nineteenth century's special situation with its new methods and problems. Due to an increased historical knowledge in many fields and an expanding cultural context, the phenomenon of history became the object of an as yet unsurpassed fascination; history was the new key concept partly in form of a historicism. With regard to biblical studies in general and the interpretation of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament in particular a decisive historical-critical approach came into focus, which generated tension between this new method and the traditional scriptural interpretation of the Church and in turn also relatively severe controversies between opposing fronts.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Word of God, Words of Men: Translations,
Book SynopsisWord of God, words of men. The book presents many aspects of the phenomenon of translation and commentary work of the Bible in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 16th and 17th centuries. It contains studies of eminent scholars as well as of some young adepts, coming mainly from Poland, but also from Lithuania and Czech Republic. The texts present various aspects of the researches conducted on this phenomenon nowadays. As it was an exceptional movement, extremely varied and long-time lasting, it would be difficult to offer its complete synthesis in one volume. Though, the exhaustive presentation of the historical and linguistic contexts allows the reader to understand the phenomenon. Intensified interest in translations of the Bible is closely connected with the interest in the Polish language, its literary expression as well as its grammatical and orthographic standardisation that occurred just in the same time. The intellectual activity related to the Bible contributed simultaneously to the development of the Polish literary language and even inspired the translations of the sacred texts of other religions present in the country. Moreover, contacts between different languages of Central and Eastern European area, where many attempts of new translations appeared, are very important. A quick rise of the different Reformation movements contributed to a "natural" need for new translations and commentaries to be used by community members. These new currents, first easily accepted and spread in the country, even when suppressed, could not stop this activity, and later new Catholic translations and commentaries of the post-Trident period, both in Polish and Lithuanian, proved it. Big part of study is also dedicated to particular typographical realizations of this activity and an interesting example of the musical expression directly inspired by the biblical translation, is also provided.

University of Notre Dame Press Religion and the Rise of Modern Culture
Book SynopsisThis book describes and analyzes changing attitudes toward religion during three stages of modern European culture: the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the Romantic period.Trade Review“This beautifully crafted essay by Louis Dupré makes an original contribution to our understanding of the emergence and development of modernity, which dispensing with religion as a governing discourse and form of life, nonetheless attempts to find a place for it in a world sufficiently depleted of meaning and value as to require reenchantment. It supplements Dupré’s two magisterial texts on the topic of the modernity covering the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods, and whets the appetite for the forthcoming volume on Romanticism. Deep learning is worn lightly in this marvelously readable book.” —Cyril O'Regan, University of Notre Dame“A stunning synthesis of Dupré's magisterial intellectual history of modernity and his distinctive and important philosophy of religion.” —David Tracy, emeritus, The University of Chicago Divinity School“Louis Dupre's literate and sweeping review of the fate of religious faith in modern culture will help contemporary readers, who share his closing yearning for ways in which ‘transcendence can be recognized again,’ to appreciate why many of us find a postmodern climate—for better or worse—more conducive to fulfilling that desire. For his dramatic depictions of modernity teach us how different is the culture in which we now live.” —David Burrell, CSC, Hesburgh Professor Emeritus in Philosophy and Theology, University of Notre Dame“The title of this book, broad as it is, aptly describes it. As the author puts it, for over a millenium Western culture was the culture of Christianity. But gradually, beginning in the Middle Ages, culture and religion ‘assumed a certain independence vis-a-vis each other’ and with the Enlightenment this turned to opposition. In the lectures which constitute this book, the author traces this development.” —Catholic Library World“This wonderful little book, drawn from Louis Dupré’s 2005–2006 Erasmus Lectures at the University of Notre Dame, narrates the development of modern culture from its roots in early Christian encounters with Aristotelianism, through the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the rise of modern atheism, and on to the poetry, philosophy, and theology of the German Romantics. . . . Dupré argues that the weakening of the ‘Christian synthesis’—and the subsequent decline of religion into subsidiary roles in public and academic life—began with a series of intellectual shifts that can be traced to Christianity’s earliest days.” —Commonweal“This book, based on the Erasmus lectures [Dupré] delivered at the University of Notre Dame in 2005, describes and analyzes changing attitudes towards religion during three stages of modern European culture: the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the Romantic Period.” —Theology Digest“The writing is measured, lucid and graceful, and the breadth of scholarship and the easy and comprehensive familiarity of the author with his material is inspiring. Dupré here distills key themes in his thinking on religion, modernity and culture into a single slim volume, making this a useful introduction to his writings at a modest price.” —Theology“Dupré’s splendid new book traces the unraveling of the ontotheological synthesis of medieval Christendom through the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and German Romanticism. . . . With magisterial lucidity Dupré explores the fragmentation of the medieval symbolic world culminating in the apotheosis of the self-constituting subject.” —Theological Studies“Louis Dupré’s reflections on the development of history towards modernity are a model of careful scholarship and insight. His short book is a distillation and refinement of many years of careful research and serious writing on questions of the philosophy of religion and cultural history. . . . Dupré gives us a comprehensive, serene, and learned discussion of a variety of themes which can only deepen and enrich our understanding of the large complex of questions connected with the themes of modernity, culture, and religion.” —The Thomist“His focus is on the German Romantic poets and playwrights (Goethe, Schiller and Holderlin), the German Idealist Schelling with the linkage of Greek mythology and biblical revelation in his late period, and the emphasis on feeling and individual subjectivity in the theology of Schleiermacher and the philosophy of Kierkegaard.” —HorizonsTable of ContentsForeword by Peter Casarella 1.

Book SynopsisA groundbreaking work of intellectual history, The Lost Italian Renaissance uncovers a priceless intellectual legacy suggests provocative new avenues of research.Trade ReviewThere is no doubt that with this book Celenza has drawn attention to a body of work that deserves far more attention than it has received and that offers exciting new avenues for historical study. Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004 This impressive volume offers a fresh interpretation of Italian Renaissance learned culture and vindicates that culture's abiding importance... Lucid in its exposition of complex philosophical and linguistic theories, whether from the 15th century or the 20th, this exceptional book will help us to advance constructively to the 21st. Choice 2005 An intelligent, learned, and well-written historical and critical account of how we have failed over the past century to meet the challenge of fully appreciating, and making relevant to our own time, the neo-Latin culture of Renaissance Italy... A fine book that should help frame the debate about humanism in the Renaissance. -- Douglas Biow American Historical Review 2005 An important, thought-provoking book, one which at least suggests an approach to Italian Renaissance humanism that can allow a group of important authors to speak in such a way that they can, finally, take their rightful place in the history of Western philosophy. -- Craig Kallendorf British Journal for the History of Philosophy 2004 An original, engaging, well-written book. -- Michael J.
