Khalid Dinno, Nima Jamali, Amir Harrak, Vincent van Vossel and Tala
Jarjour.
Converts to the Orthodox Church are sometimes stunned by the ethnic
ghetto they seem to have landed in. Cradle Orthodox are no less
amazed by these zealous, sometimes apparently nutty converts. And
priests often seem clueless as to how to deal with the mixed
blessing of newcomers. How on earth can we all understand each
other? More importantly, what can we learn from each other? Fr
Joseph David Huneycutt helps readers-whether cradle, convert,
"revert," or "retread"-navigate and explore the experience of
converts to Orthodoxy.
An English translation of Arman Akopian's comprehensive
Introduction to Aramean and Syriac Studies, from the earliest
appearances of Arameans in the historical record, through to the
modern day.
Widely regarded as a premier journal dedicated to the study of
Syriac, Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies was established in 1998
as a venue devoted exclusively to the discipline. An organ of Beth
Mardutho, the Syriac Institute, the journal appears semi-annually
and will be printed in annual editions. A peer-reviewed journal,
Hugoye is a respected academic source for up-to-date information
about the state of Syriac studies and for discovering what is going
on in the field. Contributors include some of the most respected
names in the world of Syriac today.
The diaspora of scholars exiled from Russian in 1922 offered
something vital for both Russian Orthodoxy and for ecumenical
dialogue. Liberated from scholastic academic discourse, and living
and writing in new languages, the scholars set out to reinterpret
their traditions and to introduce Russian Orthodoxy to the West.
Yet, relatively few have considered the works of these exiles,
particularly insofar as they act as critical and constructive
conversation partners. This project expands upon the relatively
limited conversation between such thinkers with the most
significant Protestant theologian of the last century, Karl Barth.
Through the topic and in the spirit of sobornost, this project
charters such conversation. The body of Russian theological
scholarship guided by sobornost challenges Barth, helping us to
draw out necessary criticism while leading us toward unexpected
insight, and vice versa. This collection will not only illuminate
but also stimulate interesting and important discussions for those
engaged in the study of Karl Barth's corpus, in the Orthodox
tradition, and in the ecumenical discourse between East and West.
This book is a part of series of Causes of Celebrations written by
Moshe Bar Kepha (813-903). These Causes are unique in that they
demonstrate a new genre of the Syriac literature initiated by the
East Syriac authors at the beginning of the sixth century.
Moreover, these Causes reveal the appreciation and dependency of
Moshe Bar Kepha on the East Syriac sources despite the
ecclesiastical doctrinal separation between the East Syriac and
West Syriac churches.
Paulos Mar Gregorios: A Reader is a compilation of the selected
writings of Paulos Mar Gregorios, a metropolitan of the Malankara
Orthodox Syrian Church of India and a former President of the World
Council of Churches. The book deals with his thought in the areas
of ecumenism, orthodox theology, philosophy, interfaith dialogue,
and philosophy of science. The book will be of special value to the
students of ecumenism, Eastern and Oriental Orthodoxy, Indian
philosophy, interdisciplinary studies, and holistic education.
Icons and the Liturgy, East and West: History, Theology, and
Culture is a collection of nine essays developed from papers
presented at the 2013 Huffington Ecumenical Institute's symposium
"Icons and Images," the first of a three-part series on the history
and future of liturgical arts in Catholic and Orthodox churches.
Catholic and Orthodox scholars and practitioners gathered at Loyola
Marymount University to present papers discussing the history,
theology, ecclesiology, and hermeneutics of iconology, sacred art,
and sacred space in the Orthodox and Catholic traditions. Nicholas
Denysenko's book offers two significant contributions to the field
of Eastern and Western Christian traditions: a critical assessment
of the status of liturgical arts in postmodern Catholicism and
Orthodoxy and an analysis of the continuity with tradition in
creatively engaging the creation of sacred art and icons. The
reader will travel to Rome, Byzantium, Armenia, Chile, and to other
parts of the world, to see how Christians of yesterday and today
have experienced divine encounters through icons. Theologians and
students of theology and religious studies, art historians,
scholars of Eastern Christian Studies, and Catholic liturgists will
find much to appreciate in these pages. Contributors: Nicholas
Denysenko, Robert Taft, S.J., Thomas M. Lucas, S.J., Bissera V.
Pentcheva, Kristin Noreen, Christina Maranci, Dorian Llywelyn,
S.J., Michael Courey, and Andriy Chirovsky.
In this fourth installment of the long Homily 71, On the Six Days
of Creation, Jacob treats of the events of the fourth day, the
creation of the spheres of light over the earth: the sun to rule
over the day, and the moon and the stars to rule over the night.
This Introduction aims to provide basic guidance to important areas
of Syriac studies. The relevance of Syriac studies to a variety of
other fields is explored. A brief orientation to the history of
Syriac literature is offered, and Syriac is set within the context
of the other Aramaic dialects. A thorough discussion on important
tools (Instrumenta Studiorum) is presented; topics include
grammars, dictionaries, the Bible in Syriac, histories of Syriac
literature, bibliographical aids and relevant series, periodicals,
and encyclopedias. This Introduction should prove useful both for
the student beginning Syriac studies and for scholars working in
adjacent fields.
How should Christians think about the relationship between the
exercise of military power and the spread of Christianity? In
Russian Orthodoxy and the Russo-Japanese War, Betsy Perabo looks at
the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-5 through the unique concept of an
'interreligious war' between Christian and Buddhist nations,
focusing on the figure of Nikolai of Japan, the Russian leader of
the Orthodox Church in Japan. Drawing extensively on Nikolai's
writings alongside other Russian-language sources, the book
provides a window into the diverse Orthodox Christian perspectives
on the Russo-Japanese War - from the officials who saw the war as a
crusade for Christian domination of Asia to Nikolai, who remained
with his congregation in Tokyo during the war. Writings by Russian
soldiers, field chaplains, military psychologists, and leaders in
the missionary community contribute to a rich portrait of a
Christian nation at war. By grounding its discussion of
'interreligious war' in the historical example of the
Russo-Japanese War, and by looking at the war using the sympathetic
and compelling figure of Nikolai of Japan, this book provides a
unique perspective which will be of value to students and scholars
of both Russian history, the history of war and religion and
religious ethics.
"A History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria" presents a series of
biographies of the Coptic patriarchs from the beginning (St Mark)
to 849 AD. Ascribed to Sawirus b. Al-Muqaffa (died 987), Bishop of
Hermopolis Magna in Upper Egypt, many are in fact older Coptic
works translated into Arabic and edited by Sawirus. The events
recorded, which include the Muslim conquest of Egypt, the overthrow
of the last Umayad ruler Marwan II, Arab-Christian relations,
histories of the various countries, are often based upon eyewitness
accounts by contemporary authors. As such they provide an essential
source for the religious, economic and social life of Egypt in the
early Islamic period. This important text remains unavailable even
in many libraries. This edition contains both the Arabic text and
the English translation of B. Evetts, together with an Introduction
by leading contemporary scholar Hugh Kennedy.
The first critical editions and English translations of the two
Syriac recensions of a fascinating text which narrates the story of
a young Jewish child, Asher. After converting to Christianity and
taking the name 'Abda da-Msiha ('slave of Christ'), he is martyred
by his father. In a detailed introduction, Butts and Gross
challenge the use of this text by previous scholars as evidence for
historical interactions between Jews and Christians, reevaluating
its purpose and situating the story in its Late Antique Babylonian
context.
