The Messianic Disruption of Trinitarian Theology
Author: Kornel Zathureczky
File Type: pdf
The unsettling context of late modernity, a terrain of an infinite fragmentation of life, poses a challenge to Christianity to rearticulate its defining doctrine of the Trinity. Christianitys initial messianic weaknessin that its canonical writings attest to a universal message of redemption for the victims of Empirewas subverted into the strong theology of the Empire. This book demonstrates that Trinitarian discourse was profoundly implicated in this development as it essentially absorbed and took the bite out of the messianic language of the early Christian movement. Zathureczky proposes a retrieval of the messianic discourse of Christianity by way of recapturing its redemptive weakness. Relying on an elective affinity between Walter Benjamins messianism and Jurgen Moltmann Trinitarianism, he attempts to recapture the weakness and fragility of the language of the initial messianic impulse of the Christian community. The resulting weak Trinitarianism retains the basic character of Christianity as a Trinitarian faith, but now Trinitarian discourse about God is simultaneously messianic discourse, a language that is attuned to give voice to the damaged lives and alienating conditions of our contemporary context. **Review Zathureczkys reflections on the Trinity in light of the Messianic address the kinds of issues that are often overlooked not only in religious studies and theology but also in studies of epistemology. His analysis, based on readings of Walter Benjamin andJurgen Moltmann, of how understandings of the world and God emerge out of tensions and from positions of the marginal is a significant contribution to cutting edge developments in contemporary scholarship.... (Joerg Rieger, Perkins School of Theology, SMU author of Christ And Empire) Creatively juxtaposing the thought of Walter Benjamin and Jurgen Moltmann, Zathureczkys commendable study explores prospects for a post-Holocaust Christian theology that subjects discourse about the Trinitarian God to messianic perspectives shared with Judaism. The result not only enriches Trinitarian thinking by connecting it more closely with historical remembrance and suffering, but also opens up new avenues for Jewish-Christian dialogue. I heartily recommend this book. (Thomas E. Reynolds, Emmanuel College) This book hammers home a fresh, energetic account of the challenge of the Holocaust for contemporary Christian theology. It is essential reading, deserving of vigilant reading and weighty response. (William J.

Now in a thoroughly revised and updated edition, this classic text presents a comprehensive survey of the many alternative theories that attempt to explain the causes of interstate war. For each theory, Greg Cashman examines the arguments and counterarguments, considers the empirical evidence and counterevidence generated by social-science research, looks at historical applications of the theory, and discusses the theorys implications for restraining international violence. Among the questions he explores are Are humans aggressive by nature? Do individual differences among leaders matter? How might poor decision making procedures lead to war? Why do leaders engage in seemingly risky and irrational policies that end in war? Why do states with internal conflicts seem to become entangled in wars with their neighbors? What roles do nationalism and ethnicity play in international conflict? What kinds of countries are most likely to become involved in war? Why have certain pairs of countries been particularly war-prone over the centuries? Can strong states deter war? Can we find any patterns in the way that war breaks out? How do balances of power or changes in balances of power make war more likely? Do social scientists currently have an answer to the question of what causes war? Cashman examines theories of war at the individual, substate, nation-state, dyadic, and international systems level of analysis. Written in a clear and accessible style, this interdisciplinary text will be essential reading for all students of international relations. **ReviewGreg Cashman thoroughly examines the validity and reliability of empirical findings and the theories of international relations they attempt to test. He is clear, balanced, and precise. Every student of world politics ought to own this book. (Charles F. Doran, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of International Relations, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies) Cashman takes a comprehensive look at the various factors thought to contribute to the outbreak of war. Using a levels of analysis approach, he presents an exhaustive set of theories at the individual, substate, state, dyadic, and international levels. Following the explanation of each theory, Cashman presents the empirical record supporting andor refuting the theories. In this second edition, the book has been expanded to include the growing body of literature examining the causes of war. Further, Cashman has added more depth to the theoretical discussions by including throughout the book case illustrations that should help pique the interest of students. He has also added a chapter on constructivism reflecting an evolving field of study. This book presents a most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of literature surrounding the causes of war. It is ideal for graduate and advanced undergraduates studying contemporary war. Summing Up Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate, graduate, research, and professional collections.

SACRE

Author: Brian Yothers
File Type: pdf
Yothers Sacred Uncertainty examines Melvilles engagement with religious difference, both within American culture and around the world. It is impossible to understand Melvilles wider engagement with religious and cultural questions, however, without understanding the fundamental tension between self and society, self and others that underlies his work, and that is manifested in particular in the way in which he interacts with other writers. There is almost certainly no more concrete or reliable way to get at Melvilles affirmations of and arguments with these interlocutors than in the markings and annotations that appear in his copies of many of their works, so Yothers examines Melvilles marginalia for clues to Melvilles thinking about self, other, and difference. Sacred Uncertainty provides a much needed exploration of Melvilles encounter with and reflection upon religious difference.**About the Author BRIAN YOTHERS is a professor of English at the University of Texas, El Paso. He is the author of Melvilles Mirrors Literary Criticism and Americas Most Elusive Author and The Romance of the Holy Land in American Travel Writing, 17901876. Yothers is the associate editor of Leviathan A Journal of Melville Studies, a coeditor of the travel section of the Melville Electronic Library, an associate editor for Melvilles Marginalia Online, a coeditor of the interdisciplinary journal Journeys, and an editor for the book series Literary Criticism in Perspective.

File Type: pdf
Iwasa Katsumochi Matabei (1578-1650) is one of the most controversial figures in Japanese art history. For more than half a century, historians have argued over Matabeis role in Japanese art Was he, as he asserted, The Last Tosa (the school of painters who specialized in Yamato-e, a kind of classical courtly painting) or, as others characterized him, The Founder of Ukiyo-e, the style of painting associated with the urban commoner class. In this highly original and convincing study, Matabei emerges as both - an artist in whose work can be seen elements of both Yamato-e and Ukiyo-e. Extending its analysis beyond the individual artist, The Last Tosa examines the trends and artistic developments of a transitional period and makes heretofore unexamined connections between the world of the aristocrat and the merchant as well as the two artistic schools that reflected their tastes.

TALMU
26181
Author: Jonathan Rosen
File Type: epub
Not long after my grandmother died, my computer crashed and I lost the journal I had kept of her dying. So begins this powerful, personal consideration of modern technology and ancient religious impulses by the celebrated young novelist, essayist, and culture editor of the Forward. Jonathan Rosen blends religious history, memoir, and literary reflection as he compares the fortunate life of his American-born grandmother to the life of his European-born grandmother who was murdered by Nazis.The Talmud and the Internet explores the contradictions of Rosens inheritance and toggles between personal paradoxes and those of the larger world. Along the way, he chronicles the remarkable parallels between a page of Talmud and the home page of a Web site. In the loose, associative logic and the vastness of each, he discovers not merely the disruption of a broken world but a kind of disjointed harmony. In the same way that the Talmud helped Jews survive after the destruction of the Temple by making Jewish culture portable and personal, the all-inclusive Internet serves a world that is both more uprooted and more connected than ever before. In this profound, ultimately hopeful meditation, Rosen charts the territory between doubt and belief, tragedy and prosperity, the world of the living and the world of the dead.

Author: Pliny the Younger, P. G. Walsh
File Type: pdf
In these letters to his friends and relations, Pliny the Younger, lawyer, author, and natural philosopher, provides a fascinating insight into Roman life in the period 97 to 112 AD. Part autobiography, part social history, they document the career and interests of a senator and leading imperial official whose friends include the historians Tacitus and Suetonius. Plinys letters cover a wide range of topics, from the contemporary political scene to domestic affairs, the educational system, the rituals and conduct of Roman religion, the treatment of slaves, and the phenomena of nature. He describes in vivid detail the eruption of Vesuvius, which killed his uncle, and the daily routines of a well-to-do Roman in the courts and at leisure, in the city, or enjoying rural pursuits at his country estates.This is a lively new translation by eminent scholar Peter Walsh, based on the Oxford Classical Text and drawing on the latest scholarship. In his introduction, Walsh considers the political background of the letters, the span of Plinys career, the range of topics covered in the letters, and Plinys literary style. Invaluable notes identify the letters recipients and explain allusions to historical events and terms. A general index is supplemented by two specific indexes on aspects of social life and Plinys correspondents. This classic will make great reading for those with an interest in classical literature and ancient history. About the Series For over 100 years Oxford Worlds Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxfords commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.**
