The main purpose of the book is to demonstrate that as early as the first phase of his activity (386-393 AD), Augustine did make use of some Origenian works, and that basic elements of his early theology were derived from the Alexandrian master. |
|  | Die Geschichte des Alttestamentlichen Priesterthums Untersucht by Wolf Baudissin
Among the first books to approach the role of the Old Testament priesthood with a critical eye, Baudissin here presents a history of the institution. Dividing the biblical material according to the emerging documentary hypothesis, he first looks at the place of the priesthood in the various divisions of the Bible. A classic in the exploration of the official religious life in biblical Israel, this book classifies and examines separately the various forms that priesthood took in the ancient world. Long out of print and increasingly difficult to find, this study continues to be cited for its insights into the sacerdotal life of Israelite priests. |
|  | Divine Manifestations in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha by Andrei Orlov
This volume explores the formative theophanic patterns found in such pseudepigraphical writings as 2 Enoch, Apocalypse of Abraham, and the Ladder of Jacob where the traditions of the divine Form and the divine Name possibly come to their most paradigmatic expressions. |
|  | Terms for Eternity: Aiônios and Aïdios in Classical and Christian Texts by Ilaria Ramelli
This book explores two ancient Greek terms for eternity, aiônios and aïdios, from their earliest occurrence in Pre-Socratic philosophy and Plato down through the patristic fathers, where they play a crucial role in debates over eternal punishment vs. universal salvation. |
|  | Analogy in the Semitic Languages by Abel Huizinga

Manuscripts are uniquely privileged bearers of cultural identity. Created and transmitted within particular linguistic and religious communities, they retain their fullest significance when they are used regularly and remain in the possession of their historic cultures. In the west those two pillars of manuscript-based culture were broken centuries ago as manuscripts were replaced by printed books, and relegated to mostly secular libraries as a result of religious and political upheavals. In the Christian Orient such changes were slower and remain less advanced. Manuscripts have not entirely vanished from regular use, and Christian communities retain ownership of significant collections of their historic manuscripts. The vital connection between manuscripts and religious culture endures, even if attenuated by persecution, diaspora, technology, and other aspects of modernity. Western collectors, whether imperial, institutional, or individual, have posed another threat to Oriental Christian manuscripts, taking many very important items or collections to European and American national or research libraries. This essay provides an historical survey of these issues.
Columba Stewart, O.S.B., is a Benedictine monk of Saint John’s Abbey, Collegeville, Minnesota, and Professor of Theology at the Saint John’s School of Theology Seminary. He has directed the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library’s efforts to digitize the manuscript culture of the Eastern Christian churches in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Ethiopia, and India.
