In this passage of his letter to the Christian community in Corinth, the Apostle Paul taught on theological anthropology and ethics. Christine placed herself within the Augustinian tradition of scriptural interpretation and read the Pauline verses allegorically. Christine reordered and rewrote the lives of women saints in order to make the case for women as glorifying God, meaning both being the glory of God (i.e., representing God) and praising God. In the context of medieval intertextuality, Christine's descriptions of hair, head-coverings, and fathers each add to the author's biblical interpretation and theological argumentation. Christine's argument for women as created in the image of God and the glory of God is both about the basic relationships in the order of creation (Creator and created human being and human being and human being) and the capacities of human beings for intellect, virtue, and apostolic work in the world including teaching. Her exegetical and theological argument is inseparably anthropological, ecclesiological, and political.","PeriodicalId":43443,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION & LITERATURE","volume":"108 1","pages":"185 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75480286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are: Azazello, Behemoth and Abadonna. Are traces of these traditions visible in Bulgakov's literary creations, despite the fact that they most likely reached him indirectly? In itself, the biblical-traditional origin of these names is well known, and some basic relationships between these characters and their onomastic prototypes in biblical and non-canonical literature have been already described. Even on many popular websites dedicated to The Master and Margarita one can find information that Azazello refers to the figure of Azazel from the Book of Leviticus and the fallen angel from the First Book of Enoch, Behemoth appears as a great beast in the Book of Job, and Abadonna refers to the Angel of Abyss from the Book of Revelation. My goal is to deepen and verify these insights by reversing their usual direction. I wish to reconstruct the demonology of the onomastic prototypes of Azazello, Behemoth and Abadonna in the Bible and in non-canonical literature, and then to inspect the characters in the book against that background. An analysis of the original contexts and comparing it with the demonology of the novel, for some characters (in the first place for Azazello, and partly also Abadonna) shows significant traces of concepts and images associated with their names in Bulgakov's literary creation. In the case of others—mainly Behemoth—these relationships turn out to be much looser.","PeriodicalId":43443,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION & LITERATURE","volume":"3 1","pages":"115 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75049508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay argues that Prospero's forgiveness is actually a response to the repentance and restitution performed (sincerely or not) by Prospero's trespassers, actions that Prospero elicits using punishment. Prospero accuses Caliban of wrongdoing, Caliban refuses to repent, and Prospero punishes him. Prospero (through Ariel) punishes Alonso and accuses him of wrongdoing, he repents, and Prospero forgives him. Prospero accuses Antonio of wrongdoing, Antonio does not repent or refuse to repent, and Prospero forgives him even as he threatens to ruin him politically. After surveying 16th-century Protestant texts, this essay argues that Shakespeare's audience would have been familiar with the notion that forgiveness can follow punishment, repentance, and restitution. Such forgiveness may seem inherently authoritarian, but forgiveness that does not address wrongdoing would seem to disregard justice and risk failing to render each according to their due. In other words, it can be coercive and unjust to use punishment to elicit repentance and restitution, but without repentance and restitution, forgiveness may simply preserve unjust circumstances. Moreover, penitent wrongdoers may willingly assent when a victim or arbiter names a wrong and its consequences. The Tempest therefore provides occasion for reflection on the practice and purpose of forgiveness by staging scenes of forgiveness that fall between coersion and justice.","PeriodicalId":43443,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION & LITERATURE","volume":"15 1","pages":"117 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84445187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hines","doi":"10.1353/rel.2022.0002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/rel.2022.0002","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT:This article argues for the critical importance of pity for understanding Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde. It shows that in his translation of the popular Troilus narrative Chaucer greatly expanded the role of pity from his sources, and it investigates the consequences of this expansion for the poem's larger consideration of the ethics of responding to others. \"Forming Pity\" proposes that, in his increased attention to pity, Chaucer revises and indicts medieval modes of ethical response to the suffering of others. He moves away from an ethics of identification prevalent in other medieval models of pity, including Giovanni Boccaccio's Il Filostrato, and towards an ethics that acknowledges and privileges the alterity of another's suffering. He does so through a careful investigation of the social efficacy and limitations of pity as it was understood in different medieval pity discourses—most notably chivalric ethics, fin amor, and Christian ethics. As he explores pity in these discourses, Chaucer contends with pity's power to ease suffering, but also its capacity to maintain dangerous social hierarchies and its inability to end the problem of suffering. This article argues that it is pity's limited capacity to ease suffering that helps to make sense of the poem's famously difficulty conclusion. It shows that in the poem's final transition to Christian ethics and passion meditation, Chaucer abruptly switches from speaking of pity to mercy: a change that Chaucer uses to make a distinction between limited human pity and limitless divine mercy.","PeriodicalId":43443,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION & LITERATURE","volume":"10 1","pages":"49 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80808738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This centering of movement presumes a metaphysical journey as the process through which the Sufi reader/listener engages with these verses. That is, movement is essential to Sufi poetry at three levels: 1) the Sufi spiritual journey is conveyed through the imagery deployed in Sufi verse; 2), this imagery is expected to lead the reader/listener on a journey of understanding from knowledge to gnosis; and 3) the dynamic imagery is meant to draw a sympathetic response on the part of the reader/listener's psyche, ultimately resulting in their achievement of oneness with the Divine. In essence, the core argument in this paper is that Sufi poetry must not be understood only as a literary form that emerges out of the Sufi Islamic tradition, but rather as an integral part of Sufi spiritual practice. For Sufi poets and adherents, poetry is not merely literature; it is praxis. This is an especially germane point given the popularity of Sufi poetry in translation (with translations often stripped of Islamic references), and its ever-increasing use in non-Religious Studies curricula. Centering the concept of Sufi poetry as praxis allows for the literary analysis of this form without losing sight of its place and function within Sufi thought and practice.","PeriodicalId":43443,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION & LITERATURE","volume":"14 1","pages":"73 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90640987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
