Abstract:

This commentary on the Lord’s Prayer examines its tone of spiritual abandonment and cultural secondariness. The Our Father was a buttress of faith and liturgy for the medieval Church, while the prayer’s sense of desolation gives it a “bohemian” quality associated with poets and vagabonds. Later on, the Cathars adopted the Pater Noster as a “central text” having esoteric and spiritual importance. Although the Cathars were persecuted in the Middle Ages as heretics, their understanding of the Lord’s Prayer returns us to the prayer’s sense of isolation and cosmic abandonment.

There are many definitions of the Church. Among all, that of Father Dumitru Stăniloae is the closest to our approach, because it highlights the Truth according to which the Life of the Church and the Life of man are One and the Same Life: “The Church is the reflection of the Life of the Most Holy Trinity in humanity“. That is, the Life of the Most Holy Trinity also becomes the Life of Man and of all the creation. One Life lived from different perspectives: uncreated and created.

God being love, He decided from ages the incarnation of Christ for the salvation of the whole mankind, which was subject to sin and death. In the Person of Christ, through the act of incarnation, performed at ”the fulness of time” (Galatians IV,4), the divine and the human nature are harmoniously completed, the latter becoming entirely obedient to the Father. If Christ had not been incarnated and if He had not lifted our own nature towards complete obedience to the Father, humanity would have never been able to obtain divine forgiveness and would not have known how to exist in the love of the

Feminist theologians have been making arguments for moving away from strictly male-gendered terms for God for decades, yet many churches continue to refer to God as ‘Father’ and ‘Lord’ in their weekly liturgies. This article will explore the place of ‘Father’ in the Scottish Episcopal Church’s Confession as found in the 1982 Liturgy. The 2022 General Synod authorised revisions to the 1982 Liturgy, which include the removal of ‘Father’ from two of the post-Communion prayers offered. However, the Confession remains unchanged.

Does Methodism want a distinctive ecclesiology? British Methodism assumes its ecclesiology from the Church of England which explains its lack of ecclesiological thinking, its genuine desire for reunification, and indeed its focus on ecclesia in actu. But there can be no ecclesia in actu apart from ecclesia per se. Being and doing are one in God. The Church, grounded in the dynamic being of God in Trinity, celebrates in the action of the Eucharist the wholeness of God’s presence with his world. Proleptically the Church includes the whole of creation and all people. Hence, when as the Body of Ch

Jesus is considered as the ‘Perfect communicator,’ the one who perfectly communicated the love of the Father to us. It was in prayer that Jesus entered into communion with his Father, receiving the very life and love he needed to transmit. Our Lord also made good use of multi-sensorial communication, not merely announcing with his lips, but with his whole life. He spoke the language of the people so that they could better receive his message and persevered in announcing the truth despite various oppositions.

Discussions about the incomprehensibility of Church Slavonic language used in worship and the need to translate liturgical texts into Russian originated in the Russian Church in the second half of the 19th century and continue to this day.

This tradition is especially vividly represented in the first third of the 20th century and the turn of the 21st century.

Here Augustine uses the grammatical method of prosopological exegesis both to identify and to solve the problem of Christ's solo ascent. Prosopology asks of a text, ‘Who is speaking?

Abstract:

Abstract The historiography of the inception of the Catholic Church in Ghana has focused largely on the activities of the European missionaries. This has left a gap in our knowledge regarding their first indigenous collaborators and their contribution. This is particularly the case of the Rev Fr Anastasius Odaye Dogli (1888–1970), the first indigenous Catholic priest of the Gold Coast about whom only scant literature exists. This article seeks to complement the work of earlier mission historiographers, by retrieving archival material from various sources in Ghana, Togo, and Italy, and sets out

Abstract:

In this article, we considered the biblical basis of the Church's teaching on the Immaculate Conception. The Catholic Church proceeds from the biblical concept of «kekharitomen» (гр.), which formed the basis of the teaching about this glorious Marian dogma. In this work, the linguistic sources of this term were presented, which shed light on the actions of the Holy Spirit, Who, erring over all creation with the will of the Father through the Son, being their common personal Love, creates Mary as a new Creation. In Eph 1, 6 St. Paul speaks of our justification through the will of the Father by

Abstract:

For the past twenty years, clericalism has been a helpful concept to identify the problematic culture within the clergy that is sorely in need of reform. In fact, it has served to focus matters needing reform not only concerning the sexual abuse crisis but also a wide array of other matters. Still, though reformers insist that clericalism embraces the entire clergy, from priests to bishops, they inevitably singularly default to reform of the priesthood. This article insists that now, nearly forty years after the sexual abuse crisis first broke, we must redirect our focus primarily onto the fat

Abstract:

The idea of Virgin Mary as Mediatrix of All Graces has been present in the Church for centuries. This title was understood in different ways and many efforts were made to defend this Virgin Mary’s privilege. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries the title appeared in the teaching of popes. It is not surprising that Saint Maximilian, the great worshiper of Our Lady the Immaculate also called Her Mediatrix of All Graces.

AbstractSince Immanuel Kant, moral reasoning has been divorced from classical theology and reinscribed onto self-contained individuals. Shorn of theological particularities, modern ethics tries to identify behaviours to which every right-thinking person can assent. A basic premise of classical moral philosophy, however, was that if we know who we are and what ourtelosis, then we can have a good idea of how we ought to act. In his christology, Barth reappropriates this classical view of ethics and situates it christologically. Because Jesus’ human nature finds its being andtelosin his divinity,

Augustine’s sermons on the Psalms of Ascent, part of the Enarrationes in Psalmos, are a unique entry in the venerable tradition of those writings that aim to help us ascend to a higher reality. These sermons transform the ascent genre by giving, in the place of the Platonic account of ascent, a Christian ascent narrative with a Trinitarian structure. Not just the individual ascends, but the community that is the church, the body of Christ, also ascends. The ascent is up to God, the Idipsum or the Selfsame, the ultimate reality, confessed by the church as God the Father, God the Son, and God th

Today we have some theologians who argue that all humankind is indeed the “People of God” (Osei-Bonsu) since they were created by the same God who is our Father.

AbstractThe Jesus we meet in the Gospels is an inter-religious person par excellence who was able to transcend fundamentalist interpretations that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel, and to recognize the faith of all people (Matt. 8:10).

Hence he proclaimed the kingdom as an inclusive reality, as the basis of all God experience (Matt 13:1–51).
