Brumwell","doi":"10.1177/00125806231169184","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00125806231169184","url":null,"abstract":"Old Testament, Longman nonetheless includes aspects from elsewhere, including Canaanite influences and the belief in Catholic circles that the woman clothed with the sun is an image of the Virgin Mary and of the Church. The explanation of the meaning of ‘the number of the beast’ is very succinct and well explained, as also theories about the identity of Magog in 20:8, which could be purely symbolic or refer to Babylon (Babel) by means of an ‘atbash’-type of technique (which is also explained very clearly). Throughout the commentary, the reader is invited to think more widely about themes and sources found in Revelation by means of the ‘Going Deeper’ sections. A reader would gain much from reading these, even if they declined to read the commentary itself. These sections present splendidly succinct, readable and yet thorough overviews of the Glorified Christ, the Devil, Idolatry to name but a few, and we find a similar approach in the sections entitled ‘Through Old Testament Eyes’, where we discover more about topics such as Daniel, Ezekiel, The Two Witnesses, and 42 Months. Tremper Longman III’s excellent commentary ends with a superb final summary, good indices, a (very) select bibliography and endnotes. This book would be very suitable for the professional exegete as well as the preacher, the student and the interested reader. It is eminently readable and gives an excellent insight into the book of Revelation.","PeriodicalId":443619,"journal":{"name":"The Downside Review","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117174471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In two later texts, On Consulting the Faithful in Matters of Doctrine (1859) and the Preface to the Third Edition of the Via Media (1877), he articulated important notions for ecclesiology and for the contemporary theological concept of synodality. These works offer theological and historical foundations for the role of episcopal authority, the exercise of the sensum fidelium, and the work of theologians, applicable to the Church’s synods and synodality. Furthermore, in his Development of Christian Doctrine (1845) Newman provided useful notes to ascertain or validate authentic doctrinal development. His writings shed light on synodality in the Church today, in particular on the German Synodal Path.","PeriodicalId":443619,"journal":{"name":"The Downside Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131571940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"‘In the Beginning’: Three Catholic Insights into Hinduism: Vasco Da Gama, Saint Francis Xavier and Roberto De Nobili","authors":"H. Didier","doi":"10.1177/00125806221150363","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00125806221150363","url":null,"abstract":"Before the landing of Vasco Da Gama and his seamen, India did not remain an isolated world: during the 4th century B.C., Alexander the Great reached the Indus. During the Middle Ages, Indian themes enjoyed a remarkable expansion in the West. In the mind of the Portuguese discoverers, the concept of an eastern Christianity created by Saint Thomas the Apostle was a deciding factor. Elsewhere, the Moslem abrahamised Hinduism: this was another source of confusion. The apostle of India, Saint Francis Xavier (1506-1552) belonged to the pre-Tridentine period: therefore, he demonised Hinduism. His meetings with the Brahmans were rather confrontational. But, with Roberto de Nobili (1577-1658) the Christian mission took an alternative path. We must take into account the struggle for indianising Christianity, conceived by Father De Nobili. Unfortunately, this enterprise evaded the key-problem of Hindu esotericism and metaphysical monism.","PeriodicalId":443619,"journal":{"name":"The Downside Review","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134066901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Book Review: The Life of Jesus Christ: Part Two, Volume 2, Chapters 58-89","authors":"D. A. Brumwell","doi":"10.1177/00125806221139360","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00125806221139360","url":null,"abstract":"This is the fourth and final volume of Dr Milton T. Walsh’s monumental translation of Ludolph of Saxony’s Life of Jesus Christ. Readers will have been awaiting this addition to their collection, which runs from the Passion until the Last Judgement with a meditation on the punishment of hell and the glory of heaven. The final chapter is entitled ‘TheConclusion and Sealing of this Book’ and ends with a translation of St Bernard’s Iesu dulcis memoria, which is also reproduced in the Latin original. With this, in four volumes we have a comprehensive commentary on the entire Gospel from the beginning to the end of time. Anyone who has seen the previous volumes will recognise the wide margins, enabling the reader to make annotations as desired, and the italic font for quotations, with the references in the margin for easy access. As always, Dr Milton includes footnotes for explanation of unfamiliar concepts or names, such as the Office of Tenebrae (p. 63) or Eutychus (p. 478). The translation is superb. It marries accuracy and readability, so that it can be used and enjoyed by scholar and faithful alike. As we approach Advent, volume I would make a superb accompaniment to that season and the interested person will benefit from reading all four volumes. Similarly a priest may wish to use it as an aid to preparation of homilies, since we find not only a recounting of the Gospel events, but also background found in the apocryphal Gospels and the different interpretations of the Gospels by many Church Fathers from the early centuries up to those who were his near contemporaries. In this way, the book is useful also as a compendium of mediaeval views on the Gospel text and will be useful for scholars working in this field. This volume concludes with a table of Gospel passages and a comprehensive index to parts I and II. As always, it is a handsome volume that lies open easily on the desk and with a sturdy spine and good quality paper. This is important, since it is by no means cheap and both individuals and institutions will wish to be sure that each volume will last for a good many years. Dr Walsh is to be congratulated on this magnum opus and Liturgical Press should be encouraged to publish this work in paperback and electronic format as well.","PeriodicalId":443619,"journal":{"name":"The Downside Review","volume":"451 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124291513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
