Nevertheless, a closer reading of his autobiographical plea tends to question this usual opinion. Indeed: (1) nothing indicates that during his three-year stay in Arabia and Damas Paul showed any interest for the pagans as such. On the contrary, (2) his silence on the content of his conversations with Peter and James during his first visit in Jerusalem seems to prove that he had not yet begun a mission among the Gentiles. Moreover, (3) when he alludes to his stay in Syria and Cilicia, he certifies that the churches of Judaea knew quite well about his missionary work and that «they glorified God because of him»: what would be strange if he had already converted pagans without taking the prescriptions of the Torah into account. Finally, (4) the way he expresses himself in Gal 2,1-10 clearly shows that, «fourteen years after», James, Peter and John didn’t know his Gospel yet. Consequently, it is only on the eve of the Jerusalem conference that Paul (and Barnabas) «proclaimed the Gospel among the Gentiles». This conclusion suggests that the Jerusalem conference occurred much earlier than currently stated.","PeriodicalId":42509,"journal":{"name":"Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses","volume":"68 1","pages":"35-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2006-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80335963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time it seeks to reveal the first stage of Joachim’s reflection on Trinity and to determine its duration and character. According to Harold Lee the water basin corresponds in significance with the later Alpha and Omega and like this depicts Joachim’s division of the history of salvation into three statusand two tempora. This thesis is not convincing. The water basin appears to have no historical meaning at all. It is, together with the psaltery figure, characteristic for an arly period in Joachim’s meditation on the mystery of the Trinity, when he immersed himself in the inmost life of the Triune God. Later on Joachim came wholly absorbed by the working of the Trinity in history. The Alpha and Omega figure marks Joachim’s gradual transition to this second stage of thought.","PeriodicalId":42509,"journal":{"name":"Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses","volume":"42 1","pages":"103-136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2006-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87340037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work heexplained in detail why the lay people’s reading of the Bible (and also of commentaries, annotationes, paraphrases...) was completely unnecessary for their salvation, was anything but advantageous, and was probably even harmful. Simple lay people, illiterate and consumed by their day-to-day worries, were intellectually incapable of understanding the Scriptures. The Bible was better reserved for people who had the time and space for study, who led a spiritual life, and who preferably were disposed toward contemplation. After all, It was Christ Himself who had wanted it in this way (Matt 7,6; Luke 4,20). Only the latter group was able to pierce the Bible’s literal layer and grasp its deeper allegorical sense. Lay people, who lacked the proper theological background, could well become mired in the «cortex», i.e. the external words of Scripture, something which, in turn, made it likely that they would fall in errors and even heresies. This was undoubtedly Sutor’s main argument. Next to the difficulty and obscurity of Scripture itself, reading the Bible in the vernacular evoked different vices among lay people: an improper curiosity regarding things that are none of their business, a lack of care for the natural duties belonging to their lay status, the arrogance to think that they could take part in debating the mysteries of faith contained in Scripture, even at the occasion of illegal conventicles, and, finally, a lack of reverence for the divine book itself. Sutor argued that Bible translations, like those that had been recently published, had to be avoided. The Church would do better to keep to the Vulgate. The «termini» in the Vulgate had been permanently fixed by the Fathers after profound assessment, and signified the Catholic faith in a perfect way. These fixed theological-technical formulations should never be altered by recently-devised arguments and new translations; not least because they were often the vehicle for erroneous teachings.","PeriodicalId":42509,"journal":{"name":"Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses","volume":"100 1","pages":"139-163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74422160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars today too often pass over the second position in silence, as though any positive concern for ritual purity counts as evidence for a judaizing influence. Despite objections recently voiced by Hyam Maccoby, the second position provides the best interpretation of the Apostle Paul’s approach to ritual purity. His position on the avoidance of sexual relations for the sake of prayer (1 Cor 7,5), as well as what he says about women covering their heads in the company of angels (1 Cor 11,10), is best understood in light of what his Jewish and Greek contemporaries relate about purity in general. 36.
