Abstract:

AbstractScholarship on Hasidism typically utilizes literary source material of the dynastic leaders and their top disciples, while the more typical master/disciple relationship has escaped attention. Hasidic movements have produced, distributed, and voraciously consumed visual portraits of their leaders throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The most visually productive Hasidic community is the Belarusian HabadLubavitch, which has produced images of five of its seven generations of leaders. Indeed, portraits of its leaders have been integral to the development of Habad both in East

Abstract:

Redeeming a society, and bearing its burden, can be a gruelling mission. It becomes even more demanding when one’s mission is misconstrued. Beyond the dangers that such arduous tasks attract, the saviour must demonstrate the urgency of his mission and the need for solidarity in executing it. Unfettering societies from impending danger calls for great personality. In this study, I employ a post-modern intertextual literary theory in my critical analysis of the artistic vision projected in Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s The River Between. I argue that Ngugi’s novel leverages the mes

Abstract:

AbstractFour Davidic Psalms (2, 118, 110, and 22), each cited or alluded to at least twice, in this order, and at critical junctures in Mark's narrative, play a key role in his Gospel. In contemporary understanding Psalm 2 was associated with the future messianic purging of Jerusalem and especially the temple (e.g.4QFlor, Pss Sol 17). Psalm 118, concluding the Egyptian Hallel, spoke of Israel's future deliverance under a Davidic king with the restored temple as the goal of Israel's return from exile. Psalm 110's surprisingly elevated royal designation, uniquely expressed in Melchizedekian prie

Abstract:

Rembek’s conviction of Polish “chosenness” is expressed in the characterizations of the Jewish protagonists in his fiction. While Rembek’s diaristic writing reveals his antiSemitic prejudices, in his novella Dojrzałe kłosy [Ripe spikes], and novel Nagan [Revolver] he portrays the Jews as patriotic officers fighting for Poland. These characterizations of the Jews highlighted Poland’s democratic open-mindedness toward its Jewish citizens. Nonetheless, as Jews they were excluded from the nation’s Christian destiny. Time and again, the Jewish officers in Rembek’s fiction articulate their desponden

Abstract:

Psalm 110:1 portrays an enthroned king to whom the Lord has pledged victory. It stands out as the most frequently quoted and alluded passage in the New Testament. Many scholars, acknowledging the NT’s utilization of Ps 110:1, focus on establishing how this psalm aligns with and finds fulfillment in Jesus, the Messiah. Jesus Himself referenced this passage in Mark 12:36 and 14:62 when addressing questions about His messianic identity. While this article follows this common trajectory, it also diverges by exploring the nuance that, while Jesus applied Ps 110:1 to His messianic vocation, His self

Abstract: In A mancha roxa, Plínio Marcos portrays women plagued by an unnameable scourge, perceptible only in the stains of the epidermis and in the clinical symptoms. In the drama, exploited by imprisonment, the characters are condemned to extermination by illness and oblivion in the punitive apparatus. Thus, this text analyzes the extermination policies – the administered violence, the generalized phobia, the imagery of the plague –, the dystopian images of the epidemic disaster and the characters’ ways of survival.

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to investigate the process by which Edoardo Sanguineti, during the 1960s, pursued the ideological and poetical re-actualization of Gian Pietro Lucini. I will try to highlight how, exploiting Lucini’s disagreements with Marinetti and his ideological differences with the founder of Futurism, Sanguineti was able to produce a contemporary portrait of a poet who was, in reality, strictly embodied into nineteenth-century’s mentality. I will attempt, contextually, to contextualize this cultural backwardness of Lucini, explaining how the poet was, after all, characterized

Abstract:

With reference to the film Inside Out, we show how Christian eschatology helps us understand the personal experience of grieving loss, generated by capital’s demands for labor hypermobility and its resultant disjunctures in a person’s biography. Inside Out cinematically portrays, in seemingly unremarkable moments, an inbreaking of a redemptive eschatological moment. We organize our case around two eschatological themes, those of judgement and death. The first section links a person’s affective experience, the structures that generate those experiences, and the last things; we make our case usi

Abstract:

In this essay, I consider the significance of Daniel Bensaïd’s work on Jeanne d’Arc with regard to dealing with the “difficult times” in which we live. (1) I first consider some of the background in early critical theory in order to show that Bensaïd’s aim to recover Benjamin’s notion of a “weak messianic power” requires following through with Horkheimer and Adorno’s critique of enlightenment, and that this implies a critical rehabilitation of myth and mythopoesis. (2) Approaching Bensaïd’s account of Jeanne in the light of Blumenberg’s notion of “work on myth”, I show how he portrays her in a

Included also in this chapter are a series of literary portraits found primarily in Arabic language texts which provide a description of the physical appearance of this antediluvian forefather.

This study explores the way in which, by way of the Christian mysteries, divine action impacts human life. The triune God acts in Jesus Christ by means of historical events whose effects transcend time and which are mediated through their celebration in memorial and worship. Drawing on both Evangelical and Catholic writers, Nichols provides evidence that the general portrait of Jesus found in the Pauline letters and the four Gospels rests on reliable historical witness. On this basis, he offers a concise Christology which presents Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of the Messianic hope of the Ol

There I described how Moltmann draws upon his social trinitarian theology of love to reconceive the imago Dei in terms of an “analogia relationis,” an analogy of interpersonal relationships in human community. In keeping with his Reformed tradition, Moltmann portrays the imago Dei not as a quality or an attribute with which human beings are permanently endowed. It signifies a relationship to God, which G
