Mary Is The Model Of Christian Discipleship, Sr. Jolly Joseph
Mary Is The Model Of Christian Discipleship, Sr. Jolly Joseph
Theology Graduate Theses
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother” (Jn 19:26-27). At the foot of the cross, Mary, the mother of Jesus is given as mother to every single human being. Mary is the mother of all mankind. The New Testament traces Mary as a woman of limitless faith, obedience and humility who followed Jesus in a perfect way. Her heart was always centered on Jesus. She is the humble handmaid of God who surrendered herself completely into the …

Tertullian’S Adversus Judaeos: A Tale Of Two Treatises, John P. Fulton
Tertullian’S Adversus Judaeos: A Tale Of Two Treatises, John P. Fulton
Theology Graduate Theses
Tertullian’s Adversus Judaeos is a controversial text of disputed origins. Until recently, it was not given much scholarly attention, because it was unclear whether or not Tertullian wrote it as an integral, finished work, intended for publication. Two aspects of the text are especially problematic. Sections of chapters 9-14 appear to be taken whole cloth from Tertullian’s Adversus Mariconem, suggesting that Adversus Judaeos, as preserved, may be a composite of two works. Also, the work is disjointed, digressive, and repetitious, unlike Tertullian’s usual standards of authorship. Nonetheless, the most recent scholarly assessment of Adversus Judaeos, based on …
Loving In The Present: The Theological And Pastoral Influences Of St. Bonaventure's Critical Retrieval Of Joachim Of Fiore On Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict Xvi, William L. Patenaude
Loving In The Present: The Theological And Pastoral Influences Of St. Bonaventure's Critical Retrieval Of Joachim Of Fiore On Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict Xvi, William L. Patenaude
Theology Graduate Theses
This thesis demonstrates that Pope Benedict XVI has benefited considerably from his 1957 study of St. Bonaventure’s pastoral response to thirteenth-century Franciscan “Spiritualists” and their disruptive acceptance of an imminent or realized eschatology. Joseph Ratzinger noted that Bonaventure’s response included a corrective theology of history that, along with a dialectical engagement of new ways of thought, provided Christianity with a vital understanding of the relation between human history and revelation. The present work examines how these Bonaventurian influences allowed Ratzinger/Benedict XVI to develop from core Christian theological proclamations—particularly the Cross and that God, as Trinity, is relationship and love—a particular …
An Exposition Of Augustine's Theodicy: From Its Influences To Its Modern Application, Kevin J. Gray
An Exposition Of Augustine's Theodicy: From Its Influences To Its Modern Application, Kevin J. Gray
Philosophy Student Scholarship
This paper delineates the thrust of Augustine's theodicy against the broader background of his Christian Neoplatonic outlook. We examine Augustine's initial Manichean influences and see how these beliefs carry over to his mature thought, which is evident in the seventh book of the Confessions. After Augustine's time with the Manicheans, we look at how he was so influenced by the books of the Platonists (libri platonicorum). Although Augustine's position regarding the problem of evil shifts, his idea of the primacy of the soul is still evident in his thought process. To wit, Augustine posits that evil must …
What Are They Saying About The Jonah Psalm? An Analysis Of The Current Trends In Its Interpretation, Daniel A. Neal
What Are They Saying About The Jonah Psalm? An Analysis Of The Current Trends In Its Interpretation, Daniel A. Neal
Theology Graduate Theses
The aim of this thesis is to examine the current state of the question of the Jonah psalm, particularly its peculiar placement within the prose of the book of Jonah. Its date of composition, rhetorical features, and overall purpose are of specific interest, and are inspected as such. Definitive answers prove elusive in regards to the psalm’s date of composition, as it can be placed, with varying degrees of conviction, between the 8th and 2nd centuries BC. Rhetorical analysis proves more enlightening, as comparing the psalm to the surrounding prose underscores the linguistic and rhetorical synergy between the …

Hands Respectful And Clean: Cajetan And The Reformation, William Paul Haas
Hands Respectful And Clean: Cajetan And The Reformation, William Paul Haas
Community Scholar Publications
Tomasso de Vio (1469-1534), later known as Cardinal Cajetan, was a well-respected philosopher and theologian who became progressively more enmeshed in the religious and political turmoil of the sixteenth century. He struggled to understand the thrust of Luther's new way of thinking and to bring the Church to deal with the challenge of radical reform in all aspects of Church life. Some of the changes which the Cardinal recommended to several of the popes he served seemed as revolutionary in his own day as they would in the present. Gradually his perception of the Church as an inclusive rather than …
