Value Beyond Monotheism The Axiology of the Divine

A Semiotics of Multimodality and Signification in the Divine Comedy

The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature

The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature

Demonstrating the pervasive presence of God in modern Hebrew literature this book explores the qualities that twentieth-century Hebrew writers attributed to the divine and examines their functions against the simplistic dichotomy between religious and secular literature. The volume follows both chronological and thematic paths offering a panoramic and multilayered analysis of the various strategies in which modern Hebrew writers from the turn of the nineteenth century through the twenty-first century pursued in their attempt to represent the divine in the face of metaphysical theological and representational challenges. Modern Hebrew literature emerged during the nineteenth century as part of the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) movement which attempted to break from the traditional modes of Jewish intellectual and social life. The Hebrew literature that arose in this period embraced the rebellious nature of the Haskalah and is commonly characterized as secular in nature defying Orthodoxy and rejecting God. Nevertheless this volume shows that modern Hebrew literature relied on traditional narratological and poetic norms in its attempt to represent God. Despite its self-declared secularity it engaged deeply with traditional problems such as the nature of God divine presence and theodicy. Examining these radical changes this volume is a key text for scholars and students of modern Hebrew literature Jewish studies and the intersection of religion and literature. | The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature

Divine Fertility The Continuity in Transformation of an Ideology of Sacred Kinship in Northeast Africa

Divine Fertility The Continuity in Transformation of an Ideology of Sacred Kinship in Northeast Africa

This book uniquely explores the impact of indigenous ideology and thought on everyday life in Northeast Africa. Furthermore in highlighting the diversity in pre-Christian pre-Islamic regional beliefs and practices that extend beyond the simplistic political arguments of the current dominant narratives the study shows that for millennia complex indigenous institutions have bound people together beyond the labels of Christianity and Islam; they have sustained peace through cultural exchange and tolerance (if not always complete acceptance). Through recent archaeological and ethnographic research the concepts landscapes materials and rituals believed to be associated with the indigenous and shared culture of the Sky-God belief are examined. The author makes sense for the first time of the relationship between the notion of sacred fertility and a number of regional archaeological features and on-going ancient practices including FGM spirit possessions and other physically invasive practices and the ritual hunt. The book explores one of the most important pilgrimage centres in Somaliland and Somalia the sacred landscape of Saint Aw-Barkhadle founded ca. 12th century AD. It is believed to be the burial place of the rulers of the first Muslim Ifat and Awdal dynasties in this region and potentially the lost first capital of Awdal kingdom before Harar. This ritual centre is seen as a ‘microcosm’ of the ancient Horn of Africa with its exceptional multi-religious heritage through which the author lays out a locally appropriate archaeological interpretational framework the Ritual Set also applied here to the Ethiopian sites of Tiya Sheikh Hussein Bale Aksum and Lalibela setting these places against a wider historical background of indigenous Sky-God belief. This archaeological study of sacred landscapes stelae traditions ancient Christian and medieval Muslim centres of Northeast Africa is the first to put forward a theoretical and analytical framework for the interpretation of the shared regional heritage and the indigenous archaeology of the region. It will be invaluable to archaeologists anthropologists historians and policymakers interested in Africa and beyond. | Divine Fertility The Continuity in Transformation of an Ideology of Sacred Kinship in Northeast Africa

Bhakti and Embodiment Fashioning Divine Bodies and Devotional Bodies in Krsna Bhakti

Bhakti and Embodiment Fashioning Divine Bodies and Devotional Bodies in Krsna Bhakti

The historical shift from Vedic traditions to post-Vedic bhakti (devotional) traditions is accompanied by a shift from abstract translocal notions of divinity to particularized localized notions of divinity and a corresponding shift from aniconic to iconic traditions and from temporary sacrificial arenas to established temple sites. In Bhakti and Embodiment Barbara Holdrege argues that the various transformations that characterize this historical shift are a direct consequence of newly emerging discourses of the body in bhakti traditions in which constructions of divine embodiment proliferate celebrating the notion that a deity while remaining translocal can appear in manifold corporeal forms in different times and different localities on different planes of existence. Holdrege suggests that an exploration of the connections between bhakti and embodiment is critical not only to illuminating the distinctive transformations that characterize the emergence of bhakti traditions but also to understanding the myriad forms that bhakti has historically assumed up to the present time. This study is concerned more specifically with the multileveled models of embodiment and systems of bodily practices through which divine bodies and devotional bodies are fashioned in Krsna bhakti traditions and focuses in particular on two case studies: the Bhagavata Purana the consummate textual monument to Vaisnava bhakti which expresses a distinctive form of passionate and ecstatic bhakti that is distinguished by its embodied nature; and the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition an important bhakti tradition inspired by the Bengali leader Caitanya in the sixteenth century which articulates a robust discourse of embodiment pertaining to the divine bodies of Krsna and the devotional bodies of Krsna bhaktas that is grounded in the canonical authority of the Bhagavata Purana. | Bhakti and Embodiment Fashioning Divine Bodies and Devotional Bodies in Krsna Bhakti

Duns Scotus on Divine Love Texts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans

Duns Scotus on Divine Love Texts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans

The medieval philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus (1266-1308) was one of the great thinkers of Western intellectual culture exerting a considerable influence over many centuries. He had a genius for original and subtle philosophical analysis with the motive behind his philosophical method being his faith. His texts are famous not only for their complexity but also for their brilliance their systematic precision and the profound faith revealed. The texts presented in this new commentary show that Scotus' thought is not moved by a love for the abstract or technical but that a high level of abstraction and technicality was needed for his precise conceptual analysis of Christian faith. Presenting a selection of nine fundamental theological texts of Duns Scotus some translated into English for the first time this book provides detailed commentary on each text to reveal Scotus' conception of divine goodness and the nature of the human response to that goodness. Following an introduction which includes an overview of Scotus' life and works the editors highlight Scotus' theological insights many of which are explored here for the first time and shed new light on topics which were and still are hotly discussed. Scotus is seen to be the first theologian in the history of Christian thought who succeeds in developing a consistent conceptual framework for the conviction that both God and human beings are essentially free. Offering unique insights into Scotus' theological writings and faith and a particular contribution to contemporary debate on Scotus' ethics this book contributes to a clearer understanding of the whole of Scotus' thought. | Duns Scotus on Divine Love Texts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans

Classical Theism New Essays on the Metaphysics of God

Classical Theism New Essays on the Metaphysics of God

This volume provides a contemporary account of classical theism. It features 17 original essays from leading scholars that advance the discussion of classical theism in new and interesting directions. It’s safe to say that classical theism—the view that God is simple omniscient and the greatest possible being—is no longer the assumed view in analytic philosophy of religion. It is often dismissed as being rooted in outdated metaphysical systems of the sort advanced by ancient and medieval philosophers. The main purpose of this volume is twofold: to provide a contemporary account of what classical theism is and to advance the scholarly discussion about classical theism. In Section I the contributors offer a clear and cutting-edge account of the nature and existence of the God and the historical and theological foundations of classical theism. Section II contains chapters on a variety of topics such as whether classical theism’s doctrine of simplicity needs revision whether simplicity is compatible with the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation and whether the hypothesis of a multiplicity of divine ideas is consistent with divine simplicity among others. Classical Theism will appeal to scholars and advanced students in the philosophy of religion who are interested in the nature of God. Chapters 2 and 6 of this book are freely available as downloadable Open Access PDFs at http://www. taylorfrancis. com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4. 0 license. | Classical Theism New Essays on the Metaphysics of God
