Where Hebrew quotations or vocabulary are included, they are clearly written in vocalised Hebrew and translated, which is pleasing, and in the discussion of St Paul’s phrase ‘Abba, Father’ (p. 318, note 45), Dr Peterson explains the meaning of the Aramaic ‘Abba’ clearly, undoing the damage done by Joachim Jeremias, who infantilised the term in a way that continues to be promoted by some. This commentary will appeal most to Evangelical Christians, but it has much to offer Christians from other denominations if they exercise a certain awareness of its intended audience. Many Roman Catholics, for example, will find some of the commentary insufficiently nuanced for their liking, but they are not the primary audience, and they will gain great benefit from using this in conjunction with another commentary. Dr Peterson’s close attention to the detail of the text will make this book a useful addition to any library with a range of biblical commentaries and to scholars working on Romans.","PeriodicalId":443619,"journal":{"name":"The Downside Review","volume":"98 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113944099","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}

Australia's first Catholic Archbishop, John Bede Polding osb, lacked business expertise and found it hindered his missionary work within the colony, causing him to depend on others to introduce planning policies, along with the general management of the Sydney Archdiocese. Davis was hand-picked by Polding to achieve this. During Polding’s lengthy missionary journeys, Davis showed guidance, compassion and understanding towards the monks at St Mary’s, especially given feelings of dissatisfaction were developing within the monastery during the late 1840s due to Gregory’s questionable leadership style. This article will explore the management and leadership skills of Bishop Charles Davis (1815–1854), during his role as coadjutor to Australia’s first Catholic Archbishop, John Bede Polding.","PeriodicalId":443619,"journal":{"name":"The Downside Review","volume":"193 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114863436","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}

Brumwell","doi":"10.1177/00125806221109741","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00125806221109741","url":null,"abstract":"Sayings and Stories are to be read with profit. In order to aid this, Vivian explains the genre of the texts well as a mixture of hagiography and ‘communication’ (di eg esis). So he is absolutely right to take time over this, looking also at the meaning and origin of the term apophthegm and the key themes that recur. He makes unexpected connections with Buddhism andmore conventional ones with ThomasMerton, who remains something of a giant in monastic literature, although there are more modern monastic spiritual writers. His style is very informal, and in many ways, the text reads as though meant to be spoken rather than read, particularly evident in his use of rhetorical questions and interjections. This is not intended as a criticism, but rather as an impression. This renders the text very readable and the reader may find themselves imagining the author speaking the words. Vivian does not shy away from using Greek or Coptic vocabulary, but when used, it is accurately transliterated, translated and explained. Accuracy is clearly prized in this volume, as is evident in the correct spelling of Søren Kierkegaard, something that defeats far too many authors. The actual text of the Sayings and Stories begins on page 89 and is accompanied by references, which enable the reader to locate the saying in Migne and in Jean-Claude Guy’s Apophthegmata Patrum. The reader need not read the footnotes in copious detail, which explain vocabulary, historical, religious and theological context, but he would be advised always to cast an eye at the bottom of the page and is certain to learn much. The book ends with the Glossary,Dramatis Personae, giving a potted biography of the Fathers and Mothers mentioned, often with reference to secondary literature and finally a select bibliography (English with a few French works) and indices. This book should appeal to a wide constituency. Novice Masters and Mistresses would do well to direct their charges to the Introduction, as would those in universities or colleges, teaching courses on the origins of monasticism. Church historians will appreciate the new translation, which gives an authentic flavour to the sayings and stories that are fundamentally part of the oral tradition. This is but the first volume, and we look forward to the publication of the other volumes.","PeriodicalId":443619,"journal":{"name":"The Downside Review","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122368308","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}

Although Sweetman complied with Cuthbert Butler’s order to resign from the executive of the North Wexford Sinn Fein, his ongoing ‘patriotism’ continued to cause problems for the Irish monk and his English monastery. In 1925, following a succession of complaints to Rome by the Bishop of Ferns which included the charge Sweetman had ‘organised and encouraged military activities against the Free State Government’, Downside closed his school. This paper provides an account of how the 1916 Easter Rising affected Sweetman and his school, describes how Sweetman’s political activities affected Downside’s plan to establish an English Benedictine monastery in Ireland and, examines his involvement in the Irish War of Independence and Civil War.","PeriodicalId":443619,"journal":{"name":"The Downside Review","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114928728","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}
