The Epiclesis Debate at the Council of Florence is the first
in-depth investigation into both the Greek and the Latin sides of
the debate about the moment of Eucharistic transubstantiation at
the Council of Florence. Christiaan Kappes examines the life and
times of the central figures of the debate, Mark Eugenicus and John
Torquemada, and assesses their doctrinal authority. Kappes presents
a patristic and Scholastic analysis of Torquemada's Florentine
writings, revealing heretofore-unknown features of the debate and
the full background to its treatises. The most important feature of
the investigation involves Eugenicus. Kappes investigates his
theological method and sources for the first time to give an
accurate appraisal of the strength of Mark's theological positions
in the context of his own time and contemporary methods. The
investigation into both traditions allows for an informed
evaluation of more recent developments in the official teaching of
the Roman Catholic Church in light of these historical sources.
Kappes provides a historically contextual and contemporary proposal
for solutions to the former impasse in light of the principles
rediscovered within Eugenicus's works. This monograph speaks to
contemporary theological debates surrounding transubstantiation and
related theological matters, and provides a historical framework to
understand these debates. The Epiclesis Debate at the Council of
Florence will interest specialists in theology, especially those
with a background in and familiarity with the council and related
historical themes, and is essential for any ecumenical library.
The Psalms run like a golden thread through the beautiful garment
of Orthodox worship. In addition to inspiring the public prayer of
the church, the Psalms are an indispensable part of the private
devotions of all who seek a closer relationship with God.Most
important, however, the Psalms point toward the ultimate liberation
of humanity from sin, death and despair through Jesus Christ.Father
Pat Reardon, drawing on his long experience as an Episcopal, and
then as a priest in the Orthodox Church, has produced a work of
depth and devotion. He rightly understands that one cannot truly
probe the deep meaning of the Psalms unless one understands them in
the light of the redemption brought by Christ...He provides the
fresh and intensely personal insights of a pastor to the study of
the Book of Psalms."Every now and then a book comes along that is a
small classic. Here is such a book: elegantly written, deceptively
simple, and utterly absorbing."Father Addison Hart, Priest, Newman
Center, Northern Illinois University
Throughout their shared history, Orthodox and Eastern Catholic
Churches have lived through a very complex and sometimes tense
relationship - not only theologically, but also politically. In
most cases such relationships remain to this day; indeed, in some
cases the tension has increased. In July 2019, scholars of both
traditions gathered in Stuttgart, Germany, for an unprecedented
conference devoted to exploring and overcoming the division between
these churches. This book, the first in a two-volume set of the
essays presented at the conference, explores historical and
theological themes with the goal of healing memories and inspiring
a direct dialogue between Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches.
Like the conference, the volume brings together representatives of
these Churches, as well as theologians from different geographical
contexts where tensions are the greatest. The published essays
represent the great achievements of the conference: willingness to
engage in dialogue, general openness to new ideas, and
opportunities to address difficult questions and heal inherited
wounds.
