The Physical Death Of Jesus Christ: The “Swoon Theory” And The Medical Response, Kate Hill

Spring 2015, Faith and Science

The Crucifixion and the Resurrection are two of the most important foundational elements of the Christian religion. There are some skeptics, however, who believe that the Crucifixion was not “completed”, and that Jesus never actually died on the cross. If this hypothesis were true, it would call the entire Christian system of beliefs into question. One theory of this sort that grew in popularity with 18^th century rationalists became known as the “Resuscitation Theory”, or “Swoon Theory”. Put simply, this theory states that Jesus did not actually die during the Crucifixion. Rather, he simply “swooned” and fell unconscious while …

"Without Blinding Darkness": The Imagery Of Divine Light In "Nauigatio Sancti Brendani", Darcy Ireland

Theology Student Scholarship

The motif of divine light is prominent in such early medieval Irish and Latin texts as Adomnán’s Life of Columba (Vita Columbæ), Vision of Saint Paul (Visio Sancti Pauli), and the Life of Brendan (Betha Brenainn). The symbol of divine light, a featured device in the Scriptures intended to emphasize the manifestation of the supernatural, if not the presence of the holy Spirit itself, is typically discussed by the patristic writers. In turn, the use of divine light in the Scriptures and the patristic writers influenced the texts of Christianity in early medieval Ireland, …

Overcoming The Division: The Relationship Between The Eucharist And Social Justice, Lauren S. Murphy

Theology Graduate Theses

Overcoming the Division: The Relationship between the Eucharist and Social Justice explores the intimate connection between worship of God and service of neighbor. Arguing for the primacy of the Eucharist, I first outline the present problem of the separation between the Eucharist and social justice in the life of the Church and offer possible reasons for this situation. I then proceed to describe the relationship between worship and justice as understood in Scripture and the early Church, giving special attention to the Old Testament prophets, the Gospels, Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians, and John Chrysostom. This leads me …

St. Dominic And The Rosary, Rev. A.M. Skelly, O.P.

Historical Catholic and Dominican Documents

This little pamphlet reprints a series of correspondence that arose out of a minor allusion in a sermon preached in Holy Rosary Church, Portland, Oregon, U. S. A. by the Rev. A. M. Skelly, O.P.

On Rosary Sunday it is usual in Dominican churches to commemorate the monumental victory won by the Christian armies over the Turks at Lepanto by a solemn procession in honor of the Queen of the Rosary, to whose prayers and influence with God the victory is attributed. The point in question is whether or not the origin of the Rosary is Dominican in nature.

Monte Mario Breviary, Catholic Church

Historical Catholic and Dominican Documents

A 13^th century manuscript preserved by the nuns of Monte Mario, Rome, who claim the breviary was a gift from Jordan of Saxony to the Blessed Diana d’Andalo as a remembrance of St. Dominic.

The Blessed Diana d’Andalò (1201–1236), was the Dominican nun who founded a convent for her order dedicated to Saint Agnes in Italy. There is some question as to the claim however. According to Father William R. Bonniwell, O.P., who obtained this photocopy of the breviary, the handwriting style stems from the middle of the 13^th century. This would date the manuscript to at least …
