The study will show that Kant’s Transcendental Unity contains a thoroughly anti-theological premise. This is namely that our own ‘I think’ grounds the distinction between the transcendent (that which we think but don’t know) and immanent (that which we know). This premise is then contrasted with Cusa’s conception whereby the distinction is grounded in the transcendent itself. Whilst for Kant our thought itself produces the distinction between ‘thinking’ (Denken) and ‘knowing’ (Erkennen), for Cusa the distinction between ‘knowing that’ (quia est), and ‘knowing what’ (quid est) is produced by God himself.","PeriodicalId":55939,"journal":{"name":"Irish Theological Quarterly","volume":"87 1","pages":"334 - 356"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43206589","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}

McDonagh goes onto state that ‘. . . [in] the Eucharist prayer found in the Apostolic Tradition, which dates from 215 CE, God is thanked for the gift of creation’ (p. 9); the support for this assertion given in the endnotes on p. 153 is the 1945 edition of ‘The Shape of the Liturgy’ by Gregory Dix. Current research works, notably by Paul Bradshaw and others, have shown that the Apostolic Tradition is a piece of living literature reflecting traditions of different eras and probably different places, which did not reach its final state until much later. This is especially true for the anaphora found in it; no serious liturgist would today use this edition of Dix without the many corrections made to it by many scholars over the last 30 years. This little book is an important contribution to what is now a crucial debate on the future of this planet and indeed of creation. It clearly outlines how theology is challenged and indeed changed by ecology, and Dermot Lane bravely sets out possible avenues of responding to these crucial questions.","PeriodicalId":55939,"journal":{"name":"Irish Theological Quarterly","volume":"87 1","pages":"368 - 370"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47881025","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}

Sullivan","doi":"10.1177/00211400221129404g","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00211400221129404g","url":null,"abstract":"Second, throughout the book MacDougall emphasizes the non-confessional nature of Anglican theology. Anglicans, lacking an authoritative confession, set the boundary markers as wide as possible ‘while retaining fidelity to its sources and tradition’ (p. 17). Yet many Anglicans affiliated with the Anglican Church in North America and many global Anglican bodies would disagree and point to the 39 Articles as an authoritative confession expressing the fundamental principles of Anglican belief. MacDougall does present his case and certainly is speaking from a popular, if not the majority, opinion in the Anglican communion. However he does not present an argument that would cause someone who views the 39 Articles confessionally to reconsider. MacDougall builds his characterization of Anglicanism from the position of non-confessionalism. With a large portion of Anglican pastors and academics operating from the confessional position, it seems that MacDougall only presents a shape of Anglican theology rather than the shape of Anglican theology. That being said, it seems that both the confessional and non-confessional positions still maintain the same virtues that MacDougall sees as strengths of the Anglican tradition. Though the 39 Articles set the boundary markers tighter than the Chicago–Lambeth Quadrilateral, they are not nearly as expansive as something like the Augsburg Confession. The Articles can be affirmed by Calvinists, Arminians, evangelicals, AngloCatholics, infallibilists, inerrantists, and a host of other theological camps. Whether one opts for the confessional status of the 39 Articles or the non-confessional stance that prioritizes the Chicago–Lambeth Quadrilateral, it is apparent that Anglican theology is generally aimed at requiring minimal doctrinal requirements and accommodating a broad range of diversity within its ecclesial unity. Overall, this is an excellent contribution to the field of Anglican studies. Whereas histories and biographies of Anglicanism and its major figures abound, few have attempted to capture the spirit and shape of Anglican theology in a way that is both faithful to Anglican history and broad enough to encompass Anglican diversity. MacDougall’s work would be appropriate for university students engaged in the study of Anglican and/ or reformation theology and lay-people who simply wish to understand their own tradition in more detail. It would also be worthwhile reading for established Anglican theologians, who may be surprised to find how the shape of their own theology is deeply indebted to the Anglican tradition they inhabit.","PeriodicalId":55939,"journal":{"name":"Irish Theological Quarterly","volume":"87 1","pages":"375 - 378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42212936","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 context, the book clearly demonstrates that the only ‘control’ that the Catholic Church actually possesses and exercises relates to ownership of property and the characteristic spirit of their schools. This is a necessary and welcome contribution when, as suggested in this book, a potential citizens assembly on the role and place of religion (particularly the Catholic Church) in education and health care looks imminent. Overall, McGraw and Tiernan make a welcome contribution to contemporary discourse in primary education. The book provides a balanced and informed understanding of the politics of primary education and all stakeholders in education will garner much in terms of contemplating what educational reform in primary education might look like into the future. It is a timely contribution when the prospect of a citizen’s assembly seems likely, where the following questions may be asked: What, if any, benefit is there for Irish society in continuing to maintain a plurality of patrons and educational visions in Irish education? Or would it be better to eradicate such plurality of patrons and educational visions, and in their place, provide a singular hegemonic state patronage model where a singular non-denominational educational vision is espoused?","PeriodicalId":55939,"journal":{"name":"Irish Theological Quarterly","volume":"87 1","pages":"370 - 373"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48690043","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}

Patristic exegetes and the liturgical tradition have latched onto his one obvious implication of Mary’s place in the Christian mystery, that is, ‘born from a woman’ in Galatians. While this essay explores the case against a Mariological reading of Gal 4:4, it ultimately shows through plausible philological evidence that Paul intentionally refers to none other than Mary in 4:4. Sonship and motherhood are also taken up and further developed in his famous allegory equating the ‘two women’ of the Abrahamic narrative to ‘two covenants.’ But how many women are there in Galatians 4? The only ones named are Hagar and ‘the Jerusalem above,’ while Sarah and Mary fade unmentioned into the silence of Pauline mystery. This essay unveils some further potential Mariological connections to be found in these women, focusing especially on the development of ‘law,’ ‘slave,’ ‘woman,’ ‘son,’ ‘promise,’ and ‘heir.’","PeriodicalId":55939,"journal":{"name":"Irish Theological Quarterly","volume":"87 1","pages":"315 - 333"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49286938","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}

First, it surveys the overlapping cultural malaises identified by Massy, Francis, and Lonergan at the root of modern industrial agriculture. Second, in response to this form of decline, it shows how the regenerative agricultural practices called for by Massy instantiate the integral ecology called for by Pope Francis; at the same time, it substantiates Massy’s calls through the emergently probable worldview of Lonergan. Third, in a way that Massy does not show, such a worldview can elevate these agricultural concerns to a supernatural, redemptive plane. Not only does an emergently probable worldview show that right agricultural practices restore creation’s capacity to praise, so too does it show that Christian praise—as made especially apparent in the Eucharist—depends upon just agricultural practices.","PeriodicalId":55939,"journal":{"name":"Irish Theological Quarterly","volume":"87 1","pages":"297 - 314"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42747602","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}

His book is very relevant. It is a much-needed tract aimed at an Evangelical tendency to forget the objectivity of the Gospel of grace (perfectly exemplified for him by Luther’s hyper-realistic Eucharistic theology and sacramental notion of the objectivity of Christ’s presence through the word proffered in preaching). It is not so different from Barth’s argument with Schleiermacher but is even more timely in a world increasingly dominated by tele-evangelists, mega-churches, privatized salvation, and self-obsessive spirituality. A massive dose of Luther-objectivity is more necessary than ever: but it seems unfortunate to me to do it by presenting a reductionist version of Augustine’s subtle, delicate, nuanced theology, in which the inner and outer, the social and individual, and the absolute enduring centrality of the incarnate Christ are always paramount. It is a splendid treatment of Luther, but its account of Augustine, fascinating as it is, must be read with some degree of caution.","PeriodicalId":55939,"journal":{"name":"Irish Theological Quarterly","volume":"87 1","pages":"250 - 252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43312024","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}
