Entre Lettres Et Message – La Spécificité Des Écrits Pauliniens, Sœur Yara Matta

Horizons et Conjonctures

La spécificité des lettres de Paul dans l’Antiquité est décelée à partir de l’analyse d’une péricope de la deuxième épître aux Corinthiens. Ses écrits exercent d’abord une fonction de gouvernement à distance ; et maintiennent ainsi son autorité apostolique au-delà de la présence physique auprès de ceux qu’il avait évangélisés. D’autre part, son but est de continuer à édifier la communauté et à l’accompagner vers une plus grande croissance dans la foi, l’espérance et l’amour. Enfin, les lettres pauliniennes sont au service de la Parole vivante de l’Évangile et montrent un apôtre qui cherche à se conformer au Christ, son …

Les Mécanismes De La Violence Terroriste Dans Mécaniques Du Chaos De Daniel Rondeau, Ghada Saouli, Père Khalil Chalfoun

Horizons et Conjonctures

Le terrorisme islamiste bouleverse les sociétés contemporaines et appelle une réponse multidisciplinaire intégrant les volets militaire, juridique, politique et religieux. La littérature, par sa portée réparatrice, participe à cette lutte. L’œuvre Mécaniques du chaos de Daniel Rondeau illustre cette dynamique en dénonçant l’extrémisme violent et en analysant les mécanismes sociaux, religieux et économiques qui le nourrissent. Elle met en lumière la capacité de la parole littéraire à prévenir la radicalisation en favorisant une culture du dialogue et de la compréhension.

La Désinformation Religieuse Sur Les Réseaux Sociaux : Un Fléau À Contenir, Roula Azar Douglas

Horizons et Conjonctures

Avec plus de 60 % de la population mondiale active sur les plateformes numériques, les réseaux sociaux constituent un terrain fertile pour la désinformation religieuse, incluant les fausses nouvelles ciblant des groupes religieux et la déformation de textes sacrés. La propagation rapide résulte de motivations politiques et économiques, de l’ignorance, du fanatisme religieux et des biais médiatiques. Les utilisateurs contribuent à cette diffusion en partageant du contenu sans vérification. Certaines personnes sont plus vulnérables en raison de l’absence d’esprit critique, du manque de temps et de la faible maîtrise numérique.
La lutte contre ce fléau requiert une approche multidimensionnelle : …

Les Conditions D’Une Laïcité Dans Le Monde Arabe, Salah Aboujoudé, S.J.

Horizons et Conjonctures

Cet article aborde la question de la laïcité dans le monde arabe et les différentes perspectives sur les raisons de son échec apparent. Le débat oppose deux approches principales : l’essentialisme et l’approche circonstancielle. D’une part, les partisans de l’essentialisme estiment qu’il faudrait une transformation de l’éthos musulman lui-même pour que la laïcité réussisse. D’autre part, les partisans de l’approche circonstancielle mettent l’accent sur les facteurs historiques qui ont influencé le monde arabe et favorisé certaines interprétations de l’islam qui sont défavorables à la laïcité et à la démocratie. Ils soulignent également le risque de préjugés envers l’islam résultant de …

Brief Of Amici Curiae Manhattan Institute And Notre Dame Education Law Project In Support Of Plaintiffs-Appellants And Reversal, Nicole Stelle Garnett, Ilya Shapiro, Tim Rosenberger

Court Briefs

CASE NO. 24-4291
John Woolard v. John Thurmond

On Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California
Case No. 2:23-CV-02305-JAM-JDP

From the Summary of Argument

As part of California’s diverse array of education options, homeschooling parents may choose to enroll their children in independent-study charter schools, which work with parents to develop custom curriculum for their children’s unique educational needs. The plaintiffs did just that here and enrolled their children in Blue Ridge Academy and Visions in Education, both independent-study charter schools. Unfortunately, not all parents are able to avail themselves of this opportunity because …

A Qualitative Exploration Of Spiritual Practices Of Simplicity Among Emerging Adults, Falon Opsahl Barton

Discernment: Theology and the Practice of Ministry

This article explores how emerging adults (18 to 29‐year‐olds) integrate pro‐environmental behaviors and spiritual practices of simplicity. First, this article synthesizes the research on emerging adulthood, including what it is, how they experience and express their spirituality, and their emotional and practical behaviors in response to the climate crisis. Then, this article explores how a small sample of Western Protestant emerging adults practice pro‐environmental simplicity in their daily lives. As a result of integrating spiritual practices that focus on simplicity and pro‐environmental behaviors into their spiritual expressions, emerging adults experience profound spiritual formation and a meaningful way of participating in …

Spirituality Of Emerging Adulthood, Falon Opsahl Barton

Discernment: Theology and the Practice of Ministry

This article synthesizes the research on emerging adulthood. After defining the term, this work explores the causes of this phenomenon, the demographic that constitutes it, and how those in this phase of life experience and express their spirituality. Among the significant issues for this demographic are their emotional and practical behaviors in response to the climate crisis.

Reading In Frames: A Guide For Homiletics, Mason Lee

Discernment: Theology and the Practice of Ministry

The past thirty years have witnessed an explosion in volume of work produced within Homiletics. The sheer variety of topics, questions, themes, orientations, and points of emphasis can make it intimidating for a working preacher to engage in these resources or know where to begin. The options seem too broad; the approaches, issues, and resources so diverse as to become unwieldy. Said differently, those of us within the field of Homiletics are prone to look upon this expansion as a form of “Pentecost” in which the diversity is a gift that can lead one to better preaching. Yet the question …

Towards Orthodox Polity: Episcopal Apology In Eusebius Of Caesarea’S Ecclesiastical History, Chris Cox

Studia Antiqua

During the last twenty years Eusebius of Caesarea’s Ecclesiastical History has received some examination by scholars as a work of apology. In this paper, I propose that one element of Eusebius’ apologetics is a defense of the episcopal polity which existed during his lifetime. This is evident through the priority which the episcopacy is given throughout Ecclesiastical History’s narrative, and the authority that Eusebius presumes the episcopate holds from its origin. Additionally, it is possible that groups which Eusebius considered heretical and who rejected the authority of orthodox bishops may have motivated his episcopal emphasis.

A Pauline Dress Code Or A Roman Analogy: Reinterpreting Paul’S Discourse In 1 Corinthians 11:1–16, Nicole Francis

Studia Antiqua

Historically, the debate surrounding 1 Corinthians 11 has focused on whether or not Paul is referring to women veiling their heads in church or simply wearing their hair up. This debate roots itself in a nearly universally accepted assumption that Paul is requesting a sort of dress-code standard for praying and prophesying in church. While this has been the dominant reading in scholarship for centuries, there are numerous compelling weaknesses in this interpretation. This paper will explore those weaknesses and provide an alternative reading: When confronted with group conflict, Paul attempts to reason his way through the hierarchical structure he …

Retracing The Historical Via Dolorosa: A Logistical Exercise In First-Century Jerusalem, Calan Christensen

Studia Antiqua

Since the identification of Herod’s palace on the Western Hill of Jerusalem as the Praetorium (πραιτώριον) of the Gospels, the notion of Jesus being tried at the Antonia Fortress, and the associated Via Dolorosa, has been relegated to mere tradition. This presented a prime juncture to responsibly reinform a tantamount Christian pilgrimage tradition through the lens of archaeology. Unfortunately, this opportunity has seemingly been neglected by the greater academic community. Any scholar that ventures to mention a plausible route from the Praetorium to Golgotha hastily assumes a route through the Upper City and neglects to cite any compelling evidence. This …

The Different Esthers Of The Septuagint And Masoretic Text: How The Inclusion Of God Changes The Character Of Esther, Heidyn Von Bose

Studia Antiqua

The Book of Esther is a unique work that contains significant differences between the Hebrew and Greek versions of the text. One significant difference is the character of Esther herself. In the throne room scene of chapter five (or addition D in the LXX), the LXX Esther is more passive than the Esther of the Hebrew Bible because of the inclusion of God and more specifically the differences in the power structure between God, Esther, and the king. By analyzing the different characters’ movements and the language describing them in chapter 5 or Addition D, the differences of Esther’s character …

Embodiment And Ritual Clothing: Dressing The Israelite High Priest, Ally Huffmire

Studia Antiqua

Exodus 28 and 39 contain a detailed description of the clothing God instructed to be made and worn by Israelite priests. In this essay, sacred clothing will be understood through the lens of ritual studies, characterizing clothing with a sense of liminality that defines and endows the human wearer with identity and power. The social meanings and implications of the high priest’s dress will be reconstructed by engaging in sensory criticism, drawing upon insights from the greater eastern Mediterranean world. Given the ancient world’s unique conception of a permeable body, ritual clothing had the ability to imbue the wearer with …

The Carnivalesque And The Carmel Competition In 1 Kings 18, Paul Bryner

Studia Antiqua

While humor is a difficult feature to identify in the Bible, the concept of the “carnivalesque”—a form of literary humor with sociological implications, coined by Mikhail Bakhtin — is much easier to apply. I argue for the presence of carnivalesque themes in the Elijah narrative of 1 Kings 18 which give a subtle, implicit social commentary on Israelite society.

“Our Precious Heritage”: Catholic Subject Headings And The Assertion Of Worldview Through Cataloging, Deirdre Sullivan

School of Information Studies - Post-doc and Student Scholarship

Catholic Subject Headings, a list of subject headings focused on describing and representing Catholic belief, ritual, and culture, was first published in 1942 by the Catholic Library Association for use in Catholic libraries. The creation of a cataloging tool solely to represent and serve a distinct religious population allows for an imposition of religious worldview by those utilizing Catholic Subject Headings onto the materials they interacted with. The need for a specifically Catholic cataloging system is also revealing of the complex tensions between Catholics and Protestants and within the American Catholic community in 20^th century America.
