Nguyen, Martin. Sufi Theological Thought. Edited by Sabine Schmidtke. Oxford University Press, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199696703.013.011.
Full textAbstract:
This article discusses Sufism’s engagement with scholastic theology and the development of theological doctrines that are distinctive to particular traditions within Sufism. In respect to the former, attention is paid to how Sufi texts addressed, explicitly and implicitly, major questions such as the nature of God, the soul, cosmology, theodicy, prophecy, soteriology, and eschatology. Issues of special importance to Sufi worldviews, such as walāya/wilāya (‘friendship with God’) and miracles are also covered. In regards to distinctive Sufi doctrines, the article examines various understandings of the states and stations of the Sufi path (ṭarīqa) as well as notions of experiential knowledge (maʿrifa), divine union and encounters, oneness of being (waḥdat al-wujūd), and love (maḥabba, ʿishq). Also addressed are the mystical refigurations of notable religious personalities such as the Prophet Muhammad and Iblīs. The article closes with a brief look at socially deviant renunciant movements that develop in response to the institutionalization of Sufism.

Full textAbstract:
Where Gothic criticism has attended to religious themes at all, it has been reductive, and not paid attention to creative theological work being performed through the texts. This book theologizes the Gothic by attending to its narration of the rupture of the Reformation both as Protestant escape but also as something to be mourned, especially the loss of mediating spiritual practices. The politics of the Glorious Revolution replays this double gesture in Whig and Tory modes. The Introduction lays out briefly the argument and structure of the book, from the Whig Providentialism of Part I, through the examination of Scottish Calvinist duality in Part II, the attention to ideas of blood and sacrifice in Irish Gothic in Part III, to the confrontation of the materialism that ensues from this hollowed out cultural imaginary in Part IV, where Gothic becomes increasingly theological throughout the nineteenth century, re-enchanting the material.

Bowd, Stephen D. Civilians and Theories of War. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198832614.003.0005.
Full textAbstract:
Justifications for the killing of civilians by soldiers rested on an array of theological and legal texts elaborated from classical and medieval sources. These texts focused on the notion of war as a punishment for human sin, but also suggested that war was a just chastisement. Therefore, in the just war tradition writers paid more attention to the causes of war than to its conduct. It was only in a gradual and piecemeal fashion that some protection for groups of civilians, including women, clergy, and children, was developed. However, it was not until c.1700 that a more secular basis for understanding war emerged and began to replace the just war framework with an international law of war. Even then, the civilian did not fully emerge as a notionally protected figure.

Thurman, Eric. Adam and the Making of Masculinity. Edited by Danna Nolan Fewell. Oxford University Press, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199967728.013.15.
Full textAbstract:
The narrative(s) in Genesis 1–3 is a foundational text for Western discourse on gender and sexuality. To date, studies of biblical masculinities have virtually ignored the biblical first male subject; feminist scholarship has long focused on Eve; and queer readings that render Genesis 1–3 alien to modern discourses are promising but small in number. This chapter takes some tentative first steps toward a more focused reception history of Adam as a gendered subject. In light of the current (and still relatively new) state of scholarship on biblical masculinities, the chapter then proposes that reception history and cultural-historical approaches to biblical “afterlives” offer a promising path for future work. Particular attention is paid to Adam’s gender in Genesis 1–3 itself and in the writings of Paul, as well as in later theological, literary, and artistic texts.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses how the remarkable achievement of Al Tabari — a young Arab scholar — says something about both his exceptional abilities and energies and the context in which he wrote. His primary education took place against the backdrop of the so-called mihna, a period of over twenty years when a succession of caliphs attempted to impose a measure of theological uniformity through persuasion and coercion. Meanwhile, political and social turbulence at the centre of the polity resulted in the splintering off of provinces that had earlier paid regular tribute to the capitals in Syria and Iraq. What this means is that when Al Tabari was completing a draft of his history, he was surveying two interrelated processes. The first was the emergence of a Sunni scholarly elite that anchored its religious authority in its command of Prophetic Traditions, and second was the dissolution of an imperial order.

Full textAbstract:
The present study examines the acts of ancient church councils as the objects of textual practices, in their editorial shaping and in their material conditions. The book analyses the purposes and expectations governing and inscribed into the use and creation of these acts. It traces the processes of their production, starting from the recording of spoken interventions during a meeting, to the preparation of minutes of individual sessions, to their collection into larger units, their storage, and the earliest attempts at their dissemination. It contends that the preparation of ‘paperwork’ is central to the work of a council, and much of its effectiveness resides in the relevant textual and bureaucratic processes. As council leaders and administrators paid careful attention to the creation of a ‘proper’ record suited to their requirements, they also scrutinized documents and records of previous occasions with equal attention and inspected document features meant to assure and project validity and authority. From the evidence of such examinations the study further reconstructs the textual and physical characteristics of ancient conciliar documents and the criteria of their assessment. Papyrological evidence and contemporary legal regulations are used to contextualize these efforts. The book seeks to demonstrate that scholarly attention to the production processes, character, and material conditions of council acts is essential to their understanding, and to any historical and theological research into the councils of the ancient church.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the dimensions of touch in pain and suffering. It looks at the role of touch in the common ailments of premodern life as well as in the use of treatments. In addition, the chapter considers the role of religious touch in treating and curing ailments. This chapter also examines the sensuality of the blind, before moving on to more severe health issues such as leprosy, the Black Death, and the dancing mania, or St. Vitus's Dance. Next, the chapter discusses the uses and ubiquity of pain in human experience, then turns to the particular difficulties of sensation in the afterlife—most notably in Christian theological conceptions of hell. Finally, the chapter examines the feelings of sorrow and compassion.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter begins by briefly taking note of various ways in which Christian liturgical enactments are related to the doing of justice. Attention then turns to the fact that at the heart of the biblical story is an appalling case of the perversion of justice. Christians worship one who was unjustly crucified. The chapter employs The Cross and the Lynching Tree, by the African-American theologian James Cone, to bring to light some of the implications of this fact. Cone notes that Christ’s crucifixion is central in African-American preaching and hymnody, and that the pain and injustice of the crucifixion are highlighted rather than concealed because African-Americans identify with Jesus in his pain and as a victim of injustice. After noting that the pain and injustice of Christ’s crucifixion are veiled in most liturgies, the chapter concludes by asking whether they should not instead be highlighted.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter, following the format of Thomas Aquinas’s repudiation of suicide inSumma Theologiae, reviews the three central arguments against physician-assisted suicide: (1) suicide is killing and thus violates universal human moral standards against killing; (2) if physician-assisted suicide becomes legal, it could corrupt physicians’ integrity; and (3) the risk of abuse. It responds to each argument, claiming that none is strong enough to defeat the central case for legalization, tacit recognition, and social acceptance of physician aid in dying. It then offers two basic grounds for holding that physician aid-in-dying is morally permissible: (1) the basic principle of liberty, also called freedom or self-determination (limited by the harm principle), a central principle of a free society; and (2) the right to avoid suffering and pain, grounded in the right to the pursuit of happiness—interpreted as entailing the right to try to avoid unhappiness, including suffering and pain.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 4 concentrates on terminology, examining the changes in the meanings of both ethnē and goyim. After discussing the Dead Sea Scrolls and the First and Second Maccabees, it moves to Philo and Josephus, discussing the different terms they use for foreigners, collective and individual, and their discursive meanings. For both authors, Israel is conceived as an exception that does not define the rule. Instead, it was understood on the terms of Israel’s constitution, which Philo interpreted theologically, and Josephus read politically and historically. The chapter ends with an analysis of the Greek warning inscription found in the Temple court, which forbade strangers from entering the Temple on pain of death.

Belser, Julia Watts. Postlude—Theology in the Flames. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190600471.003.0008.
Full textAbstract:
The postlude sheds light on rabbinic theological responses to destruction, arguing that Bavli Gittin’s stories portray God as passionately—even catastrophically—responsive to human need. It examines shared resonances between Bavli Gittin’s portrayal of the destruction and the well-known rabbinic story of the Oven of Akhnai (Bavli Baba Metsia 59b), which recounts the cataclysmic disaster provoked by the tears of the humiliated Rabbi Eliezer. Similarly, Bavli Gittin claims that God destroys the temple in response to the humiliation of Bar Qamtsa, and that Israel’s doom was sealed after another wronged man weeps. Rather than emphasizing sin and punishment, Bavli Gittin’s stories highlight God’s immense self-sacrificial empathy for victims of shame, sexual violation, and economic exploitation. These tales of destruction reveal the devastating power of divine empathy, suggesting that God’s tremendous responsivity to suffering can shatter the world in the wake of one man’s pain.
