Inspiration: Towards a Christian Interpretation of Biblical Inspiration anchors its study of inspiration firmly in the Scriptures and examines the inspired nature of the Bible and its inspiring impact. Gerald O''Collins begins by examining classical view of inspiration expounded by Karl Barth and Raymond Collins. He takes up the inspired origin of the Old Testament, where earlier books helped to inspire later books, before moving to the New Testament, which throughout shows the inspiring impact of the inherited Scriptures—both in direct citations and in many echoes. The work then investigates the Bible''s inspiring influence on Christian worship, preaching, teaching, the visual arts, literature, and life. After a chapter that clarifies the interrelationship between divine revelation, tradition, and inspiration, two chapters expound ten characteristics of biblical inspiration, with special emphasis on the inspiring quality of the Bible. O''Collins explains a major consequence of inspiration, biblical truth, and the grounds on which the Church ''canonized'' the Scriptures. After spelling out three approaches to biblical interpretation (the authorial intention, the role of readers, and the primacy of the text itself), the book ends by setting out ten principles for engaging theologically with the Scriptures. An epilogue highlights two achievements of the book. By carefully distinguishing inspiration from divine revelation and biblical truth, it can deliver readers from false problems. This work also underlines the inspiring effects of the Scriptures as part of the Holy Spirit''s work of inspiration.

Inspiration and Authority in the Middle Ages - Brian Fitzgerald - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Inspiration and Authority in the Middle Ages - Brian Fitzgerald - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Inspiration and Authority in the Middle Ages rethinks the role of prophecy in the Middle Ages by examining how professional theologians responded to new assertions of divine inspiration. Drawing on fresh archival research and detailed study of unpublished manuscript sources from the twelfth to fourteenth centuries, this volume argues that the task of defining prophetic authority became a crucial intellectual and cultural enterprise as university-trained theologians confronted prophetic claims from lay mystics, radical Franciscans, and other unprecedented visionaries. In the process, these theologians redescribed their own activities as prophetic by locating inspiration not in special predictions or ecstatic visions but in natural forms of understanding and in the daily work of ecclesiastical teaching and ministry. Instead of containing the spread of prophetic privilege, however, scholastic assessments of prophecy from Peter Lombard and Thomas Aquinas to Peter John Olivi and Nicholas Trevet opened space for claims of divine insight to proliferate beyond the control of theologians. By the turn of the fourteenth century, secular Italian humanists could lay claim to prophetic authority on the basis of their intellectual powers and literary practices. From Hugh of St Victor to Albertino Mussato, reflections on and debates over prophecy reveal medieval clerics, scholars, and reformers reshaping the contours of religious authority, the boundaries of sanctity and sacred texts, and the relationship of tradition to the new voices of the Late Middle Ages.

Tolkien on Chaucer, 1913-1959 - Peter Steffensen - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Tolkien on Chaucer, 1913-1959 - Peter Steffensen - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Tolkien on Chaucer, 1913-59 traces J. R. R. Tolkien''s critical engagements with Geoffrey Chaucer from his undergraduate Oxford essays in 1913 to remarks in his retirement lecture in 1959. Reprinted with both Tolkien''s own annotations and new notes from the authors, this book analyses his major articles such as ^"Chaucer as a Philologist: The Reeve''s Tale", as well as his unpublished edition of the Reeve''s Tale and his lectures on the Clerk''s Tale and the Pardoner''s Tale. Though his scholarship was best known for his work on Beowulf, Tolkien was also an expert on Geoffrey Chaucer. He lectured on Chaucer, edited Chaucer, and published essays on Chaucer. Tolkien on Chaucer, 1913-59 reprints many of these works for the first time, and documents Tolkien''s career-long engagement with the poet and traces his influence in Tolkien''s own works. Bowers and Steffensen reveal how the Reeve''s Tale was a source for Tolkien''s description of Merry and Pippin''s battle with Saruman, and how the Pardoner''s Tale influenced Tolkien''s own story of men fighting to the death over a gold treasure. Chaucer emerges as a major source of inspiration for Tolkien''s creative writings and profoundly formative in the creation of The Lord of the Rings.

Augustine of Hippo and his Monastic Rule - George P. Lawless - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Augustine of Hippo and his Monastic Rule - George P. Lawless - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

* With a Latin text and a facing-page translation of the Rule, Regulations for a Monastery, and Letter 211The Rule of Augustine, very likely the oldest monastic rule with western origins, provides daily inspiration for more than 150 Christian communities. In giving an account of Augustine''s distinctive contributions to the monastic spirituality of the late Roman world, and in particular of his achievement as a monastic legislator, Augustine of Hippo and his Monastic Rule fills a long-standing gap in Augustinian studies.
