Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas, Volume 2
by Bernard Lonergan Robert Doran, S.J. Frederick Crowe, S.J.Bernard Lonergan's theological writings have influenced religious scholars ever since the first publication in the 1940s of the series of five articles which make up Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas. These articles first appeared in Theological Studies and were subsequently republished in book form in 1967 under the present title. This volume contains a new preface by the editors and full translations of all Latin texts.Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas is a product of Lonergan's eleven years of study of the thought of Thomas Aquinas. The work is considered by many to be a breakthrough in the history of Lonergan's theology and a foundation upon which his later contributions were constructed. Here he interprets aspects in the writing of Aquinas relevant to trinitarian theory and, as in most of Lonergan's work, one of the principal aims is to assist the reader in the search to understand the workings of the human mind.Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas is a vital component of Lonergan's oeuvre, and of continuing relevance to trinitarian theology, Aquinas studies, and inquiries into human cognition.Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984), a professor of theology, taught at Regis College, Harvard University, and Boston College. An established author known for his Insight and Method in Theology, Lonergan received numerous honorary doctorates, was a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1971 and was named as an original members of the International Theological Commission by Pope Paul VI.

Los cristianos están entre los fuegos cruzados de historias cristianas alternativas, textos erróneos emergentes y la presión cultural de acabar para siempre con la Verdad absoluta.

En Verdad en guerra John MacArthur afirma la certeza inconmovible de la Verdad de Dios y estabiliza a los cristianos en las promesas eternas e inquebrantables que se encuentran en Su Palabra.

Verfassungskonforme Islamismusprävention: Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Religionsfreiheit, staatlicher Neutralität und effektiver Gefahrenvorsorge
by Asbjørn MathiesenNach Einschätzung der Sicherheitsbehörden ist Deutschland seit Jahren mit einer latenten Bedrohung durch den islamistischen Terrorismus konfrontiert. Um den damit verbundenen Gefahren vorzubeugen, werden erhebliche finanzielle Mittel in die Radikalisierungs- und Extremismusprävention investiert. Die verschiedenen Akteure der Islamismusprävention bewegen sich dabei in einem hochkomplexen Spannungsfeld zwischen der grundrechtlich verbürgten Religionsfreiheit, der Pflicht des Staates zu religiös-weltanschaulicher Neutralität sowie einer möglichst effektiven Gefahrenvorsorge. Zwar ist sich die Präventionspraxis der Grundrechtsrelevanz ihrer Arbeit grundsätzlich bewusst, jedoch mangelt es bisher an Transparenz und konkreten Lösungen zum Umgang mit diesem Spannungskomplex. Der Autor beleuchtet in diesem Buch den verfassungsrechtlichen Rahmen der Islamismusprävention und gibt Aufschluss darüber, auf welche Weise Islamismusprävention verfassungskonform gestaltet werden kann.

Verily, Verily: The KJV - 400 Years of Influence and Beauty
by Jon SweeneyAs historian Tony Lane once noted, without the King James Version of the Bible, it can be speculated that, there would be no Paradise Lost … no Pilgrim’s Progress … no Negro spirituals … no Gettysburg Address. And even though today there are more accurate and contemporary translations of the Bible, the KJV reigns supreme in the English-speaking world. It is printed and circulated more widely than any other version. The everlasting literary power of this phenomenal volume is unarguable. But how did this remarkable work originate? What were the historical circumstances driving its completion? What sorts of errors (many of them outright hysterical) crept into the translation? Why does it still outsell every other English translation? Verily, Verily offers an informative, inspirational, and light-hearted look into how the world’s most popular Bible was created and why it is still important. Jon M. Sweeney reflects on the cultural importance, spiritual value, beautiful phrasings, and occasional humor of the King James Bible. And Sweeny shows why the KJV has been the most important entry into the Christian scriptures for the English-speaking world and a new understanding of why it is still worth reading.
Veritas: A Harvard Professor, a Con Man and the Gospel of Jesus's Wife
by Ariel SabarFrom National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author Ariel Sabar, the gripping true story of a sensational religious forgery and the scandal that shook Harvard.In 2012, Dr. Karen King, a star professor at Harvard Divinity School, announced a blockbuster discovery at a scholarly conference just steps from the Vatican: She had found an ancient fragment of papyrus in which Jesus calls Mary Magdalene "my wife." The tattered manuscript made international headlines. If early Christians believed Jesus was married, it would upend the 2,000-year history of the world's predominant faith, threatening not just the celibate, all-male priesthood but sacred teachings on marriage, sex and women's leadership. <P><P>Biblical scholars were in an uproar, but King had impeccable credentials as a world-renowned authority on female figures in the lost Christian texts from Egypt known as the Gnostic gospels. "The Gospel of Jesus's Wife"--as she provocatively titled her discovery--was both a crowning career achievement and powerful proof for her arguments that Christianity from its start embraced alternative, and far more inclusive, voices. <P><P>As debates over the manuscript's authenticity raged, award-winning journalist Ariel Sabar set out to investigate a baffling mystery: where did this tiny scrap of papyrus come from? His search for answers is an international detective story--leading from the factory districts of Berlin to the former headquarters of the East German Stasi before winding up in rural Florida, where he discovered an internet pornographer with a prophetess wife, a fascination with the Pharaohs and a tortured relationship with the Catholic Church. <P><P>VERITAS is a tale of fierce intellectual rivalries at the highest levels of academia, a piercing psychological portrait of a disillusioned college dropout whose life had reached a breaking point, and a tragedy about a brilliant scholar handed a piece of scripture that embodied her greatest hopes for Christianity--but forced a reckoning with fundamental questions about the nature of truth and the line between reason and faith.
Verklempt: Stories
by John Howard Ari Roth Peter Sichrovsky'Verklempt’, Yiddish slang, means 'choked with emotion.’ In his latest collection of stories, internationally best-selling author Peter Sichrovsky aggressively dismantles post-Holocaust Jewish identity. These are love stories where love is a bitter pill, a joke, a missed chance at happiness, a secret, a ghost, or a longing to be with a person one cannot even remember. Sichrovsky writes without embellishment, spare outlines of characters that feel familiar, and infuses them with dark humor and tragedy. With characteristic inquisitiveness and provocation, Sichrovsky delivers a delightful collection that entertains and inspires us to tears, laughter, revelations.
Vermeide Zusammenstöße
by Dada BhagwanDie Zusammenstöße im Alltag müssen gelöst werden. Warum wollen wir alles durch Konflikte verderben? Das passt einfach nicht zu uns. Menschen befolgen die Verkehrsregeln, die sehr strenge Vorschriften geben. Sie fahren nicht nach ihren eigenen Interpretationen, nicht wahr? Weil sie die Verkehrsregeln befolgen, bleiben sie vor Unfällen verschont. Genau so musst du in deinem Alltag die Regeln befolgen, die Zusammenstöße verhindern. Zusammenstöße treten auf, weil du deinen eigenen Gesetzen und Interpretationen folgst. Wenn die Menschen die Verkehrsregeln befolgen, gibt es keine Schwierigkeiten im Verkehrsfluss. Wendest du die gleiche Regel mit diesem Verstehen auf deine täglichen Interaktionen an, wirst du nie wieder in Schwierigkeiten geraten. Die Probleme entstehen, wegen deiner eigenen begrenzten Interpretation der Lebensgesetze. Es gibt einen grundlegenden Fehler im Verstehen der Lebensgesetze. Derjenige, der diese Gesetze erklärt, muss eine gründliche Erfahrung dieser Gesetze besitzen. Lese weiter um zu verstehen, warum Konflikte auftreten, was die verschiedenen Arten von Konflikten sind, wie man Konflikte in Beziehungen vermeidet und finde die Rezeptur für ein Konflikt freies Leben, was dir helfen wird, deine Denkweise in eine positivere zu transformieren. Das Ziel ist, dein Leben mit Frieden und Freude zu erfüllen, und dich darin zu festigen, den spirituellen Weg entschiedener zu gehen und somit die letztendliche Befreiung (Moksha) zu erlangen.

Vermächtnisse von David Cranz' "Historie von Grönland" (1765)
by Christina Petterson Felicity JenszDieses Buch bringt interdisziplinäre Wissenschaftler aus den Bereichen Geschichte, Theologie, Volkskunde, Ethnologie und Meteorologie zusammen, um zu untersuchen, wie David Cranz' Historie von Grönland (1765) in verschiedenen Disziplinen, Epochen und Ländern Resonanz fand. Gemeinsam zeigen die Autoren, dass das Buch über seinen ursprünglichen Zweck als Aufzeichnung der Missionsarbeit hinaus in weltliche und politische Bereiche außerhalb Grönlands und Deutschlands hineinwirkte. Die Kapitel zeigen auch, wie das Buch zu breiteren Diskussionen und Konzeptualisierungen von Grönland als Teil der atlantischen Welt beigetragen hat. Der interdisziplinäre Umfang des Bandes ermöglicht eine vielschichtige Lektüre von Cranz' Buch, die zeigt, wie unterschiedliche Bedeutungen aus dem Buch in verschiedenen Kontexten gezogen werden konnten und wie das Buch über Zeit und Raum hinweg Resonanz fand. Außerdem wird das Argument angeführt, dass die Konstruktion der Arktis im achtzehnten Jahrhundertunser Verständnis des Atlantiks erweitert hat.
Vernacular Religion in Everyday Life: Expressions of Belief
by Marion Bowman Ulo ValkVernacular religion is religion as people experience, understand, and practice it. It shapes everyday culture and disrupts the traditional boundaries between 'official' and 'folk' religion. The book analyses vernacular religion in a range of Christian denominations as well as in indigenous and New Age religion from the nineteenth century to today. How these differing expressions of belief are shaped by their individual, communal and national contexts is also explored. What is revealed is the consistency of genres, the persistence of certain key issues, and how globalization in all its cultural and technological forms is shaping contemporary faith practice. The book will be valuable to students of ethnology, folklore, religious studies, and anthropology.
Vernacular Religion: Collected Essays of Leonard Norman Primiano (North American Religions #17)
by Deborah Dash MooreFinalist, Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion, Analytical-Descriptive Studies, given by the American Academy of ReligionA comprehensive collection of the pioneering work of Leonard Norman Primiano, one of the preeminent scholars in religious studiesIn 1995, Leonard Norman Primiano introduced the idea of “vernacular religion.” He coined this term to overcome the denigration implied in the concept of “folk religion” or “popular religion,” which was juxtaposed to “elite religion.” This two-tiered model suggested that religion existed somewhere in a pure form and that the folk version transforms it. Instead, Primiano urged scholars to adopt an inductive approach to the study of religion and to pay attention to experiential aspects of belief systems, ultimately redressing a heritage of scholarly misinterpretation.Here for the first time, Leonard Norman Primiano’s pioneering works have been collected into one volume, providing a foundational look at one of the preeminent scholars of twentieth-century religious studies. Vernacular Religion makes visible the dimensions of vernacular religion in North America, exemplifying the richness of its ability to explain key facets of American society, including especially thorny issues around race and sexuality. The volume also demonstrates a method of abiding engagement, the creation of ongoing relationships with those who are studied, and how the relationship between scholars and the communities they study inform an ethics of critical commitment—what Primiano calls an “ethnography of collaboration and reciprocity.”This posthumous collection, edited by Deborah Dash Moore, brings together key studies in vernacular religion that explore its expression among such varied groups as Catholics, LGBTQ Christians, and the followers of Father Divine. Vernacular Religion models empathetic ethnographic engagement that embraces American religion in all its rich diversity, illuminating Primiano’s enduring legacy.
Vernacular Voices: Language and Identity in Medieval French Jewish Communities (Jewish Culture and Contexts)
by Kirsten A. FudemanA thirteenth-century text purporting to represent a debate between a Jew and a Christian begins with the latter's exposition of the virgin birth, something the Jew finds incomprehensible at the most basic level, for reasons other than theological: "Speak to me in French and explain your words!" he says. "Gloss for me in French what you are saying in Latin!" While the Christian and the Jew of the debate both inhabit the so-called Latin Middle Ages, the Jew is no more comfortable with Latin than the Christian would be with Hebrew. Communication between the two is possible only through the vernacular.In Vernacular Voices, Kirsten Fudeman looks at the roles played by language, and especially medieval French and Hebrew, in shaping identity and culture. How did language affect the way Jews thought, how they interacted with one another and with Christians, and who they perceived themselves to be? What circumstances and forces led to the rise of a medieval Jewish tradition in French? Who were the writers, and why did they sometimes choose to write in the vernacular rather than Hebrew? How and in what terms did Jews define their relationship to the larger French-speaking community?Drawing on a variety of texts written in medieval French and Hebrew, including biblical glosses, medical and culinary recipes, incantations, prayers for the dead, wedding songs, and letters, Fudeman challenges readers to open their ears to the everyday voices of medieval French-speaking Jews and to consider French elements in Hebrew manuscripts not as a marginal phenomenon but as reflections of a vibrant and full vernacular existence. Applying analytical strategies from linguistics, literature, and history, she demonstrates that language played a central role in the formation, expression, and maintenance of medieval Jewish identity and that it brought Christians and Jews together even as it set them apart.

Versed (Wesleyan Poetry Series)
by Rae ArmantroutWinner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for PoetryWinner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (2010)Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award (2009) Rae Armantrout has always organized her collections of poetry as though they were works in themselves. Versed brings two of these sequences together, offering readers an expanded view of the arc of her writing. The poems in the first section, Versed, play with vice and versa, the perversity of human consciousness. They flirt with error and delusion, skating on a thin ice that inevitably cracks: "Metaphor forms / a crust / beneath which / the crevasse of each experience." Dark Matter, the second section, alludes to more than the unseen substance thought to make up the majority of mass in the universe. The invisible and unknowable are confronted directly as Armantrout's experience with cancer marks these poems with a new austerity, shot through with her signature wit and stark unsentimental thinking. Together, the poems of Versed part us from our assumptions about reality, revealing the gaps and fissures in our emotional and linguistic constructs, showing us ourselves where we are most exposed. A reader's companion is available at http://versedreader.site.wesleyan.edu/
Verses from the Center
by Stephen BatchelorThe understanding of the nature of reality is the insight upon which the Buddha was able to achieve his own enlightenment.

Vertere – Paradigmen des Übersetzens in der Kultur der Antike
by Maurizio BettiniMaurizio Bettinis Buch schildert die Praktiken und Paradigmen des Übersetzens in der griechischen und römischen Antike bis hin zu den Bibelübersetzungen des hellenistischen Judentums und der christlichen Spätantike. Es ist zugleich eine materialreiche historische Studie und ein kluger Essay über die Dimensionen des Übersetzens als Akt der kreativen Aneignung des Fremden. Im Kontrast zum modernen „postkolonialen“ Übersetzungsverständnis – das letztlich auf die monotheistische Schrift-Übersetzung zurückgeht – versteht Bettini die Übersetzungspraxis der Antike als Teil einer Kultur der sprachlich-literarischen Umwandlung, als Akt des (Nach-) Erzählens, zugleich auch als ein der Ökonomie des (sprach-)grenzüberschreitenden Austauschs verpflichtetes Handeln.
