J K Kok ten Have Juden und Christen in der Antike
Book SynopsisThe book opens with an impressive article by Georg Kretschmar. The relationship and the increasing difference between Jews and Christians are determined by the way Jews and Christians have defined themselves against one another. Christians saw Jews as those who rejected Jesus, and therefore identified themselves in opposition to the Jews. The one and only Church, in origin Jewish and gentile became - by definition - anti-Jewish. One of the consequences was Auschwitz, for Jews a never-ending experience. The distinction between Jews and Christians is still present in modern definitions of Church. The problem remains: how can Jews and Christians be defined differently, and both be successors to the same tradition? Other contributions are: Legem statuimus, on rhetorical aspects in the discussion (Johannes S. Vos - Amsterdam), Wie steht es um den judischen Einfluss auf den christlichen Martyrerkult? (Willy Rordorf - Neuchatel), Die Epistula Anne ad Senecam (Wolfgang Wischmeyer - Heidelberg), Juden und Christen in Georgien (Tamila Mgaloblishvili - Tbilisi), Juden und Christen in Alexandrien (Roelof van den Broek - Utrecht), Juden und Christen im Heiligen Land (Adolf M. Ritter - Heidelberg), Juden und Christen in Aphrodisias (Pieter W. van der Horst - Utrecht). The book is written in German.

Peeters Publishers The Generation of Meaning in Liturgical Songs: A
Book SynopsisThis book is about the meaning of liturgical songs. Everybody who sings liturgical songs knows what a liturgical song is and also what it eans. But when we start to talk about them, things become confused. We know too much and there are too many languages in which we can express what we think their meaning is. And what is worse, other people seem not to understand what we say and immediately reply that we may know a lot but not what they know. Then the discussion turns into a quarrel amongst people who know too much and connot communicate what they know. A wise person may enter into the quarrel and say that communication about liturgical songs can only succeed when we sing together. Then we will sing together, confused and angry, because we now also know that the other people may sing very well but do not understand what they are doing. This is what has been happening for decades in the Dutch churches. Perhaps we should be silent and start to look and listen very carefully to liturgical songs, while developing a language in which the songs themselves can speak, communicating what they have to say. The looking and listening will take much time and energy: there are no more easy answers. And the language will be so difficult that we are forced to be silent, waiting and hoping for a word to come. Willem Marie Speelman (1960) is a musicologist, theologian and semiotician. In the present work he develops a very strict scientific method which can help to understand how liturgical songs "work", that is, in what manner they generate meaning.

Peeters Publishers Islam and Christianity. Mutual Perceptions Since
Book SynopsisThe importance of studying past and present relationships between Islam and Christianity as well as between Muslims and Christians of different persuasions has now become generally recognized. The present volume of scholarly studies focusses on changes which have occurred in these relationships during the last forty years. The papers examine new Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox views of Islam and a broad variety of views of Christianity held by Muslims from India, Iran, North Africa, and the Near East, including some "fundamentalist" authors in Egypt and Lebanon. The book contains a moving testimony from a Muslim intellectual in Sarajevo written during the siege of the city. Nearly all contributions were discussed at the Cret Berard (Switzerland) symposium in April 1995.

Peeters Publishers Die Apokalypse Des Pseudo-Methodius: Die Altesten
Book SynopsisAnschliessend an die 1993 erschienene Erausgabe des syrischen Urtextes der Apokalypse des Pseudo-Methodius, besorgt von G.J. Reinink (CSCO, Scriptores Syri, T. 220 und 221), folgt jetzt die Neuausgabe der griechischen Ubersetzung und deren Ubersetzung ins Lateinische, die die fruheren Editionen des griechischen Textes von V. Istrin und A. Lolos, und des lateinischen Textes von E. Sackur ersetzen soll. In dieser von W.J. Aerts und G.A.A. Kortekaas besorgten Neuausgabe werden der griechische und der lateinische Text der ersten (langsten) Version vis-a-vis prasentiert, mit kritischem Apparat und mit einer ausfuhrlichen Einleitung, in welcher die benutzten Handschriften beschrieben und der Sprachgebrauch des Mittelgriechischen und des merovingischen Latein analysiert werden. In diesem 1. Teil werden auch die Testimonien und der Widmungsbrief des lateinischen Ubersetzers, Petrus Monachus, vorgefuhrt. Im 2. Teil sind, neben den Kommentaren zu den Testimonien und der Ubersetzung des Widmungsbriefes, die Anmerkungen zu den Texten und die griechisch-lateinischen und lateinisch-griechischen Wortlisten, die Einsicht in die Ubersetzungsmethodik des Petrus Monachus gewahren sollen, aufgenommen. Indices und Bibliographien in beiden Teilen komplettieren das Ganze.

Peeters Publishers The Apocryphal Acts of Peter: Magic, Miracles and
Book SynopsisThis is the first modern collection of studies on the most important aspects of the Acts of Peter, the source of the famous novel Quo Vadis ? by Henry Sienkiewicz. The collection of essays discusses many aspects of the Acts of Peter: its relationship with the Acts of John and the Acts of Paul, but also important themes such as the fascinating figure of Simon the Magician, Agrippa and his concubines. It looks at the nature of the theos aner, the role of women, the place of magic, the performance of miracles, the famous death of Peter upside-down, the regulae fidei and other early credal formulations. Finally it discusses the transmission and Latinity of the Acts, and the date and place of its publication.

Peeters Publishers Theoria --> Praxis: How Jews, Christians, and
Book SynopsisIn 1989, twenty-seven scholars of religion evenly divided among Jews, Christians and Muslims met for three days at a Catholic retreat outside Philadelphia, USA. This was the beginning of the "International Scholars' Annual Trialogue". This volume is composed of the best essays prepared and molded during those yearly dialogues through 1994. Half of the papers are background studies on the current state of particular questions. The other half turn in the direction of how to think better about the problems that have divided us in the past - how to move into new images that may free our minds and affections for significant progress in the future. The essays fall under five headings: 1) overlap among the three Abrahamic traditions; 2) what remains distinctive in each tradition; 3) present lacunae on the way to political cooperation; 4) present lacunae on the way to sharing worship; and 5) how best to orient future intellectual exchanges. The single "global" culture that has been building since World War II requires that we find images of humanity that make the common weal bulk much larger than any partial, local or practical prosperities. This volume helps two fifths of the world's population begin that task.

Peeters Publishers Oneness: A Theology of Women's Religious
Book SynopsisOneness is based on interviews with ten North American and Danish women about their religious experiences. These are compared with accounts of the religious experiences of women and men, as reported to the Alister Hardy Research Centre in Oxford. With Oneness I wish to make my research broadly available to women interested in spirituality as well as to feminist theologians and researchers. It is also aimed at ministers who seek insight in a neglected area of theology: women's religious experiences as narrated by themselves. My ambition has been to write a theological book that, in a popular form, intermixes theory and empirical evidence.

Peeters Publishers Repertorium van de documenten in het archief
Book SynopsisThis inventory in Dutch contains a description of the records which Msgr. Willy Onclin (1905-1989), professor of Canon Law in Louvain, has left behind from 1960 till 1986. This book consists of two parts. A first part concerns the activities of W. Onclin as peritus to the Second Vatican Council, especially regarding the decrees Christus Dominus, Presbyterorum ordinis and Optatam totius, the dogmatic constitution Lumen gentium and the declaration Gravissimum educationis. The greater second part draws up an inventory of the documents which W. Onclin gathered in his function as assistant-secretary of the Papal Commission for the Revision of the Code of Canon Law. It is devided following the chapters of the new Code of 1983. In this commission W. Onclin was very active concerning the Lex Ecclesiae Fundamentalis, the canons of Book I or General Norms, of Book II or People of God and the canons on the sacraments. By taking this book in the series Novum Commentarium Lovaniense in Codicem Iuris Canonici we want to draw attention to and stimulate the research of the wording of the Code of Canon Law of 1983. This repertory gives namely a survey of the many varied sources, gathered by a world-famous canon lawyer of Louvain, which can be useful for a correct interpretation of the editorial history of the new Code.

Peeters Publishers Human Development: Psychology and Mystery
Book SynopsisThis book is a magisterial treatment of the wide spectrum of psychological aspects of growing in grace as a spiritual creature, while also developing as a human being. For the author 'being human' is physical, psychological, and spiritual. The integration of all three is for him a possibility both to be desired and worked toward, not a paradox. As a teacher of teachers, Imoda has been commited to transmitting to his students a way to teach novices and laymen how growing in the love of God is a logical development from increasing the grasp of their emotional bases. For teachers this book is a 'vade mecum' which gives them a structure within which people can be encouraged to explore their emotional underpinnings, so that they may grow out of their psychological and spiritual immaturity.
