Μία νέα συλλογή αποκρύφων / A new collection of apocrypha

Κυκλοφόρησε από τον εκδοτικό οίκο Eerdmans ένας νέος τόμος όπου δημοσιεύονται σε αγγλική μετάφραση και σχολιασμένα απόκρυφα κείμενα λίγο γνωστά και τα οποία είναι ανέκδοτα. Σύμφωνα με την περιγραφή του εκδοτικού οίκου ο τόμος καλύπτει ένα μεγάλο εύρος, από τους πρώτους μεταχριστιανικούς αιώνες έως και τις αρχές της δεύτερης χιλιετίας, αποδεικνύοντας έτσι τη δυναμική που έχει η μη κανονική παράδοση μέσα στη ζωή της Εκκλησίας.

Ψηφιακή αναπαράσταση της "βίλλας του Αυγούστου" / Digital reconstruction of "Villa of Augustus"

Στην ιστοσελίδα Realm of History έχει αναρτηθεί ένα βίντεο με την ψηφιακή αναπαράσταση της "βίλλας του Αυγούστου" ή "διονυσιακής βίλλας" στην Somma Vesuviana (Νάπολη). Το πρώτο της όνομα το οφείλει στην παλαιότερη εκτίμηση -η οποία σήμερα αμφισβητείται από τους ειδικούς- ότι εκεί άφησε την τελευταία του πνοή ο αυτοκράτορας Αύγουστος. Οι αρχαιολογικές εργασίες που έγιναν στην τοποθεσία έφεραν στο φως ένα λαμπρό σύμπλεγμα domus με εντυπωσιακούς βοηθητικούς χώρους (π.χ. μία δεξαμενή 300 τ.μ.). Η βίλλα δεν καταστράφηκε το 79 μ.Χ. από την έκρηξη του Βεζούβιου και συνέχισε να χρησιμοποιείται ως αγροικία μέχρι και τον 5ο αι., όταν τελικά καταστράφηκε από μία νέα έκρηξη του Βεζουβίου.

Alfred Marx, "Job et les pauvres, un rapport ambigu," 229-247

The Book of Job contains two quite astonishing passages where Job speaks of the condition of the poor. The first is Job 24 :1-12, where he demonstrates an extreme compassion for their predicament ; the second is Job 30 :1-8, where, having displayed his charity, he then exhibits a hefty contempt for them. This ambiguous attitude is problematic and raises the question of the true relationship between Job and the poor.

Dominique Angers, "L’insistance lucanienne sur l’identité des destinataires et des bénéficiaires de la basileia et de sa proclamation," 249-265

The intent of the present study is to analyze the concept of the kingdom/reign of God in Luke-Acts from the standpoint of ecclesiology. It thus focuses on an issue that is rarely studied in conjunction with the notion of the kingdom in Lucan studies, namely, the identity of the believing community. More specifically, it considers questions of identity concerning both the recipients and the beneficiaries of the basileia itself, as well as of its proclamation. This article suggests that Luke is highly interested in these matters. The vast majority of occurrences of basileia in Luke-Acts confirm this, as do some key occurrences (e.g., the very first mention of the term, in Lk 1 :33, and the occurrences that form an inclusio in Acts, Ac 1 :3,6; 28 :23,31).

Gilbert Vincent, "Temps de l’indignation, temps de la prophétie. Lectures ricœuriennes. III. Prophétie: apocalyptique ou poétique?," 267-310

Faced by prophecy, hermeneutics feels duty bound to show a polite hospitality which obliges philosophy to undertake a critical examination of some of its own ideas, which can then appear as hyper-rationalist prejudices. However, isn’t it part of the philosopher’s responsibility to conduct himself without arrogance to a parallel examination of the vicissitudes familiar to the reception of prophetic discourse, a reception seemingly enthralled by the declaration of political and cosmic catastrophes, but also sensitive to the poetic depiction of a meta-political hope ? We will show, following Ricœur, that a hermeneutical critique of prophecy is legitimate and justified by the reading of prophetic literature itself.
