V&R unipress GmbH Paulos Mar Gregorios: Imaginationen des Ostens im
Book SynopsisText in German. Paulos Mar Gregorios (19221996) was both a leading figure of the ecumenical movement and one of the most renowned representatives of the St Thomas Christians of India in the 20th century. His life and work can be seen as paradigmatic of an evolving ecumenical as well as global age. In the countless theological, philosophical, and political discourses that he influenced, he distinguished himself as an ''Eastern'' thinker. At first glance, this seems to contradict the ecumenical and global character of his life and work. The present study shows the person and his work as an example of how global dialogue about unity can lead to a process of imagination and thus emancipation of ones own identity.

Peeters Publishers Livre Des Canons Armeniens (Kanonagirk Hayoc) De
Book SynopsisApparu en Armenie des le debut du IVe siecle apres la conversion officielle du royaume au christianisme, le droit canonique connait un developpement majeur avec le synode de Sahapivan de 444 qui suit de peu l'invention de l'alphabet national vers 400. Le corpus canonique etabli par cette assemblee est interpole et augmente au debut du VIIe siecle par le docteur julianiste Yovhannes Mayragomec'i qui est radicalement oppose au concile de Chalcedoine. Ce nouveau receuil qui n'est pas officiel trahit sur le fond la doctrine extremiste de son auteur. Au debut du VIIIe siecle, le catholicos Yovhannes Awjnec'i impose a l'ensemble du pays une doctrine antichalcedonienne moderee avec l'appui des Arabes destine a prevenir toute intrusion byzantine. Dans le cadre de cette politique, il promulgue le "Livre des canons" qui reprend le "Corpus de Sahapivan" et les canons du VIIe siecle qui ne refletent pas une coloration trop nettement julianiste.

Peeters Publishers Armeniens et Byzantins a L'epoque de Photius:
Book SynopsisFace au conflit qui allait en s'aggravant entre les sieges de Constantinople et de Rome en 862, le patriarche Photius se tourna vers l'Armenie pour y chercher un soutien. Il esperait devenir lui-meme facteur d'unite chretienne au moment oA' la reconquete byzantine de l'Est anatolien paraissait imminente. L'auteur demontre que Photius a influence non seulement les relations de Byzance avec l'Occident, mais aussi les debats doctrinaux avec l'Orient. Il explore les sources patristiques de la politique ecclesiastique de Photius afin d'expliquer comment l'attitude de ce patriarche a l'egard des heterodoxes a permis la formulation d'un accord aussi singulier que celui de Sirakawan. La traduction commentee des documents armeniens concernant ce concile et la controverse qui le suivit est basee sur une nouvelle collation de manuscrits et accompagnee d'un lexique extensif. L'analyse du langage technique developpe par les auteurs armeniens lors de la domination arabe permet d'exposer comment evoluait l'articulation de la doctrine de l'Incarnation depuis les grandes controverses de l'epoque de Justinien. L'interpretation de ces textes et de leurs sources represente la premiere etude systematique de la christologie armenienne. Les divergences dogmatiques entre les Armeniens et les Byzantins sont mises en relation avec les differents criteres de l'orthodoxie soutenus par les deux Eglises.

Peeters Publishers Eugnoste. Lettre Sur Le Dieu Transcendant (NH
Book SynopsisDecouvert dans un manuscrit copte du IVe siecle de notre ere, le texte intitule Eugnoste est sans doute plus ancien. Il se caracterise par l'importance accordee au mythe de l'Homme primordial qui est la forme manifestee du Dieu supreme. Il touche la question, chaudement debattue depuis l'Ecole d'Histoire des Religions en Allemagne, des liens entre christianisme et gnosticisme, a propos du mythe de l'Homme celeste ou du Redempteur-rachete. Le milieu de production pourrait etre Alexandrie. Proche d'un judaisme platonisant, tel qu'on le trouve chez Philon d'Alexandrie, il enseigne un christianisme susceptible de plaire et d'attirer ce genre de milieu. Les doctrines philosophiques, issues du Moyen Platonisme, de meme que les paralleles dans la litterature patristique nous incitent a le dater de la premiere moitie du second siecle de notre ere. Comme Eugnoste a fait l'objet de plusieurs reecritures, sont analysees dans ce volume la version du codex III de Nag Hammadi (NH III, 3) ainsi que celle du codex V (NH V, 1). Un chapitre est egalement consacre a la doctrine baptismale qui se trouve dans une autre reecriture, celle de la Sagesse de Jesus-Christ (BG, 3; NH III, 4).

Peeters Publishers Orthodox Christianity and Human Rights
Book SynopsisOrthodox theology and the Orthodox Churches had, and continue to have an ambiguous relationship towards the concept of Human Rights: principal approval often stands alongside serious criticism. This is especially true for those Orthodox Churches which have their centre in a country of the former Soviet sphere. On the one hand, especially since the fall of Communism they enjoy religious freedom that forms a central element within the framework of Human Rights. On the other hand, the transformation process of the 1990s and the challenge of pluralism and globalization have all confronted them with aspects of freedom that could not but affect their stance towards the Human Rights concept in general. This also means, that doubts and reservations related to this concept came to the fore again, which had yet existed already decades before. These reservations focused on such issues as Church and secular society, Church and state, furthermore on the understanding of central terms such as "freedom", "dignity", "rights" - central also for an Orthodox anthropology, that needs to be reconciled with the partly differing approaches behind the Human Rights concept.The chapters of this volume try and explore as much the philosophical and theological as the social, historical and practical aspects of this complex relationship. Based either on the discussion of differing theological concepts, or on empirical and concrete case studies respectively, they clearly show the tensions and fractures that do exist. On the other hand, in this way they also hint at possibilities to overcome these tensions, to continue a dialogue that already has begun, and to avoid the numerous misunderstandings between East and West which currently tend to form a hindrance to this dialogue at various points.

Peeters Publishers Catalogue of Syriac and Garshuni Manuscripts:
Book SynopsisForty-three Syriac and Garshuni manuscripts owned by the Iraqi Department of Antiquities and Heritage are here catalogued and described in great detail. The manuscripts cover major literary genres known to Syriac literature, each of which is discussed in a lengthy introduction with an up-to-date bibliography. To illustrate the contents and styles of the manuscripts, short texts extracted from most of them are given in Syriac and Garshuni with translations in English. Some manuscripts are liturgical and were once the property of Melkite, Syriac Orthodox, Syriac Catholic, and Assyrian churches. Other manuscripts are spiritual and theological compendiums, biblical lectionaries and psalms, Melkite pastoral letters dealing with Roman Catholic devotional practices, charms and popular medicine, and sogyata and durikyata poems. A unique manuscript consists of a Kurdish (Kurmanji) grammar in Syriac authored by a 19th century Chaldean monk living in the Monastery of Rabban Hormizd in northern Iraq. The codices are dated between the 16th and the 19th centuries, though there is one dated to the 14th century, and they were produced in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and central and eastern Anatolia.

Peeters Publishers From Old Cairo to the New World: Coptic Studies
Book SynopsisThis present volume is dedicated to Gawdat Gabra, the former director of the Coptic Museum in Cairo and now Professor of Coptology at the University of Claremont in the USA. Dr Gabra is one of the pioneers of Coptic studies in modern times and the author and editor of many valuable and highly regarded monographs, series and articles. Although the papers in this volume do not have a single theme, all of them share an interest and focus on one topic: Egypt. They cover many fields in Coptology and Egyptology, such as art, Biblical studies, liturgy, Copto-Arabic studies and archaeology. They present the results of recent academic research and archaeological excavations. The seventeen contributors to this volume belong to three continents and work in seven countries all over the world, but all of them appreciate the long-time efforts of Gawdat Gabra for Coptic studies on an academic level as well as his indefatigable labour to make laymen aware of Coptic Egypt.

Peeters Publishers Studies on the Liturgies of the Christian East:
Book SynopsisThis is a collection of seventeen selected papers from the Third International Congress of the Society of Oriental Liturgy, held in Volos, Greece, in 2010. The Society is a non-confessional association of scholars dealing with the liturgical traditions (and related disciplines) of the Eastern Christian Churches. These papers reflect studies on the Ethiopian, Georgian, Hagiopolite, Greek, Bulgarian, Slavonic, early Patristic, East Syriac, and West Syriac liturgies across a wide range of countries and cultures. Among other topics, the authors study the texts of liturgical services (including the critical question of translations), archaeology, liturgical music, iconography, mystagogical commentary, and liturgical theology. The papers deal with both the historical practice of the Churches and their present-day usages. The authors examine not only what has been the liturgical usage of the Eastern Churches in their countries of origin, but also how these liturgies are adapted and celebrated in the diaspora.

Peeters Publishers Monastic Tradition in Eastern Christianity and
Book SynopsisThis volume's focus is threefold, thus corresponding to its tri-partite topical division: to analyze Eastern monasticism's unique place in the life transforming journey to theosis; Eastern monasticism's hospitality and mutual encounters with culture; and Eastern and Western monasticism's hospitality to Christian and non-Christian religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam (even though Islam does not have any monastic institution, its adherents have been historically in dialogue with Christian monastics and have the potential to achieve a spiritual affinity with monks of other religious traditions). The three parts of the volume share one unifying argument: monasticism's special call to spiritually symbiotic relationship or impact on the very socio-politic-historic structures of reality. The topics are explored from historical, theological, and literary standpoints. The volume's overall intention is to help make monastic ecumenical engagement or its potential for inter-faith dialogue better known, appreciated, and relevant within inter-religious dialogue.

Peeters Publishers Rites and Rituals of the Christian East:
Book SynopsisThis book comprises twenty-one selected papers from the Fourth Congress of the international scholarly Society of Oriental Liturgy, held at the Universities of Notre Dame and Balamand in Lebanon, July 2012. These articles reflect studies on Coptic, Ethiopian and Eritrean, Syriac, Greek-Byzantine, Slavonic, and other liturgies. The authors examine, inter alia, the rites of matrimony, the blessing of the waters, and the Eucharistic Prothesis; developments in Christian iconography; early Christian worship and liturgical theology; new methodological approaches. The papers discuss both the historical practice of diverse Eastern Churches and the current situation. The present collection of articles shows clearly the progress made in a fascinating field of research.

Peeters Publishers Syriac in its Multi-cultural Context: First
Book SynopsisThis volume contains the contributions presented at the First International Syriac Symposium organised by the newly established Artuklu University in Mardin (April 2012). A substantial number of papers are devoted to the history of Syriac Christianity in Mardin itself, or more generally in Eastern Turkey, with contributions by both Turkish and international scholars. The importance of this Symposium should not be underestimated. Not so many years ago, Syriac and Turoyo were forbidden languages in Turkey and were only allowed in the private sphere, not in public. With this publication, the Artuklu University and the Turkish academic world acknowledge the importance of Syriac culture and Syriac language as elements for understanding the history and present-day situation of Eastern Anatolia.

Peeters Publishers Histoire de Mar Abba, catholicos de l'Orient.
Book SynopsisLe règne du souverain Khusro Ier (531-579) fut une période-phare de l’histoire de la Perse sassanide, marquée aussi par des persécutions sporadiques à l’encontre des chrétiens d’origine zoroastrienne. Parmi ces martyrs figurent de grands personnages de la société civile tels Grigor Pirian-Gusnasp, général en chef des armées du roi, un haut-fonctionnaire et juge du nom de Yazd-panah ainsi qu’un notable de la cour, `Awira. Le plus illustre fut sans doute le catholicos Mar Abba (540-552), réunificateur de l’Église d’Orient après un schisme de près de vingt-cinq ans, canoniste, exégète, restaurateur de la discipline ecclésiastique qui avait été affaiblie depuis l’action entreprise par Barsauma en 484, controversiste réputé avec les zoroastriens et les chrétiens syro-orthodoxes, médiateur de paix pour les communautés chrétiennes. Ces textes, mis par écrit par des contemporains des événements, sont les seules hagiographies syro-orientales de cette époque à nous être parvenues en syriaque et présentent une remarquable qualité d’informations sur le paysage socio-religieux et politique de l’Orient au VIe siècle. Une édition critique commentée, accompagnée d’une traduction en français, est pour la première fois proposée à partir des uniques manuscrits existants de Londres, Berlin et du Vatican.
