Literary Theories Of Circumcision, A. W. Strouse

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

“Literary Theories of Circumcision” investigates a school of thought in which the prepuce, as a conceptual metaphor, organizes literary experience. In every period of English literature, major authors have employed the penis’s hood as a figure for thinking about reading and writing. These authors belong to a tradition that defines textuality as a foreskin and interpretation as circumcision. In “Literary Theories of Circumcision,” I investigate the origins of this literary-theoretical formulation in the writings of Saint Paul, and then I trace this formulation’s formal applications among medieval, early modern, and modernist writers. My study lays the groundwork for an ambitious …

Supplanting The Wrong With The Right: A Synoptic Overview Of Christian And Islamic Reactions Towards The Subject Of Heresy, Brett G. Barnard

Lawrence University Honors Projects

Whenever there is a faith that is claiming to be the “one true religion,” just what is it that defines that most sinister of opposition known as “heresy?” Is it the choices made by these aforementioned “heretics” to hold beliefs that are contrary to the mainstream? Or is the way in which “orthodox” authorities have historically asserted their own superiority while legally eliminating the competition? When overlooking monotheistic belief systems that claim universal theological authority, such as Christianity and Islam, what stands out the most is the fact that the greatest threat almost always comes not from exterior rivals, but …

Do This, In Memory Of Me!, Joseph Qiu-Lin Zhang

School of Theology and Seminary Graduate Papers/Theses

In order to better understand the meaning of the Eucharist, in this paper I describe three theologians’ views about the Eucharist. Their views represent three denominations of the Church. They are: Martin Luther (Lutheran), Alexander Schmemann (Orthodox), and Thomas Merton (Roman Catholic). I compare their views from three aspects: The meaning of the presence of Jesus Christ in bread and wine in the Eucharist, the qualification of receiving communion, and the entire meaning of the Eucharist.

The present issue of Marian Studies marks a turning point. Fr. Thomas A. Thompson, SM, has been the editor of Marian Studies from Volume 41 in 1990 through Volume 67 in 2016. He will remain as the editor emeritus as a tribute to his many years of selfless service as both the editor of Marian Studies and the secretary of the Mariological Society of America. Words cannot express the gratitude all of us in the MSA have towards Fr. Thompson. We know that God will reward him with graces beyond what we can offer.

Our Lady Of The Blessed Sacrament: Theological Foundations And Historical Development, Richard May

In particular, the contributions of St. Peter Julian Eymard (1811–1868) are highlighted along with those of Pope St. John Paul II. The article not only examines …

Mary And The Nuptial Dimension Of The Constitution Of The Church In The Eucharistic Sacrifice According To Hans Urs Von Balthasar, Chao Nguyen O.P.

Marian Studies

Throughout the centuries, Christianity has reflected deeply on the Paschal dimension of the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Christian life. However, little has been said of its nuptial character. This essay examines Hans Urs von Balthasar’s theological insights on the Eucharist in both its sacrificial and nuptial dimensions in relationship to the Blessed Virgin Mary. For Balthasar, these dual aspects converge and are exemplified in Our Lady whose fiat at the Annunciation comes to a climax at the Crucifixion. There, she is mystically and nuptially united to the Son who gives himself away eucharistically, and she thus …

Peter Julian Eymard, Saint Of The Eucharist And Our Lady Of The Most Blessed Sacrament, Dwight P. Campbell

Marian Studies

St. Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868) founded the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in 1856 and is known as the “Saint of the Eucharist” (a title confirmed by Pope St. John XXIII in his canonization homily, Dec. 9, 1962). He explored many aspects of the great mystery of the Holy Eucharist in the conferences he delivered to his fellow religious over the years. These conferences have been published in nine separate volumes under different titles. One of the volumes—entitled “Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament: Readings for the Month of May”— consists of thirty-one conferences, one for each day of …

Confirmation In The Spirit By Conformation To Mary: The Gifts Of The Spirit In Mariological Perspective, Jacob Phillips

Marian Studies

This article investigates a Mariological interpretation of the sacrament of confirmation, exploring the figure of Mary as a model recipient of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, with broader implications for understanding the interrelation of nature and grace. It draws upon a strand of patristic Mariology that relates Christian initiation to conformation with Mary. Such passages are found in Origen, Gregory of Nazianzus and Gregory of Nyssa, who all speak of the souls of the faithful being conformed to Mary. As Mary received the Word of God in her womb, so Christ is formed more deeply in the soul of …

“Tota Pulchra Es”: Mary, The Song Of Songs, And The Sacraments, Ann W. Astell

Marian Studies

In a pair of articles published in 1951 in Orate Fratres, Jean Daniélou, S.J., demonstrated that the Fathers of the Church interpreted the Song of Songs as a prophecy of the sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. This interpretation fostered continuity between the Jewish liturgy, which features the Song of Songs in the observance of Passover and Sabbath, on the one hand, and Christian ritual, which gives a place of honor to the sacraments of initiation in the Easter vigil, on the other. This article traces the application of the Song of Songs to the sacraments of initiation in …
