The Development Of A Theology Of Tradition: Basil's On The Holy Spirit And Yves Congar's Tradition And Traditions, Sister Dominica Bickerton O.P.

Theology Graduate Theses

This thesis examines the particular contributions of Basil of Caesarea on the development of tradition by evaluating his claim that he is not innovating.

The thesis uses modern scholarship on both the Council of Nicaea and Basil to examine Basil’s defense of “written and unwritten traditions” in his On the Holy Spirit. Particular attention is given to the use of liturgy and the teachings of the fathers by Basil in his defense of his own doxology. …

Although the motif of affliction receives attention for its appearance in Exodus, few scholars note the significance of this motif in Genesis.

Everyday Solidarity: A Framework For Integrating Theological Ethics And Ordinary Life, Conor M. Kelly

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

As moral theology responds to the pastoral emphases of Pope Francis’s pontificate, more work must be done to facilitate the integration of theological ethics and ordinary life. In order to pursue this goal in a consistent fashion, this article proposes a new form of “everyday solidarity” as a framework for linking Catholic theological convictions with everyday moral choices. The article clarifies the often-ambiguous notion of solidarity found in Catholic social teaching and describes how the new species of everyday solidarity can function as both a principle and a virtue to transform discernment in ordinary life.

Positive And Negative Uses Of The Exodus Motif In Prophetic And Apocalyptic Biblical Literature, Charles Joshua Parrott

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

In the following pages of this dissertation, I address two questions: 1) How do biblical authors reuse the exodus motif in positive and negative ways? 2) What does theological reflection on these uses yield? In Chapter One, we will see that the historical exodus is not only contextually plausible, but it is also particularly doctrinal. The exodus reveals noteworthy truths for God’s people today, and these truths need to be continually affirmed. Chapter Two shows that collectively, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel had an understanding of Israelite history, and they trusted God’s sovereign control of that history. These prophets also had …

¿Un Nuevo Fragmento De Quaestiones In Exodum De Filón En Las Recientemente Descubiertas Homiliae In Psalmos De Orígenes? Una Nota Preliminar, Michael B. Cover

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

The aim of this study is to analyze a potential new fragment of Quaestiones in Exodum in the recently discovered Homiliae in Psalmos of Origen. To make this case, I will first weigh the evidence for and against a Philonic provenance for the tradition cited by Origen (whether paraphrase or citation). I will then offer some lexical, thematic, and form-critical considerations, which suggest that Origen is citing a Philonic interpretation from the Quaestiones rather than paraphrasing the Allegorical Commentary.
