From Confucius to Zhu Xi. The First Treatise on God in Fran ois No l?s Chinese Philosophy (1711)
, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 432 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:8 b/w, 8 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503601793.
Summary On 25 September 1710, Pope Clement XI finally promulgated the 1704 decree Cum Deus optimus, which condemned the toleration of certain Confucian rituals among Chinese Catholic converts and the use of the Chinese terms tian and Shangdi to refer to the Christian God. This papal decision antagonised the Kangxi Emperor and devastated the Jesuit China mission. Although the Jesuits were prohibited from publicly refuting the decree, the Flemish Jesuit Fran ois No l sought to defend the Jesuit position by publishing his voluminous scholarship on the Chinese classics. Among other works, in 1711 No l published two seminal contributions to the history of Sinology: the Sinensis imperii libri classici sex or Libri sex, and the Philosophia Sinica, a sophisticated treatment of Chinese metaphysics, ritual, and ethics. While the Libri sex achieved some degree of influence in the Enlightenment through the French translation of the French Jesuit historian Du Halde and the writings of the philosopher Christian Wolff, the Philosophia Sinica was actively suppressed by the Superior-General of the Jesuit order. Yet it is in this latter work where the full breadth of No l's originality and intellectual contribution can be found. No l reinterprets the Jesuits' position through the lens of Neo-Confucianism, integrating concepts such as li, taiji, yin, and yang in his reading of Chinese philosophy. With contributions from Sinologists and intellectual historians, this book offers the first systematic study of this pioneering work.

Anthropology of St Gregory Palamas. The Image of God, the Spiritual Senses, and the Human Body
, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, xvi + 243 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503589411.
Summary How are we to regard our body? As a prison, an enemy, or, maybe, an ally? Is it something bad that needs to be humiliated and extinguished, or should one see it as a huge blessing, that deserves attention and care? Is the body an impediment to human experience of God? Or, rather, does the body have a crucial role in this very experience??Alexandros Chouliaras' book The Anthropology of St Gregory Palamas: the Image of God, the Spiritual Senses, and the Human Body argues that the fourteenth-century monk, theologian, and bishop Gregory Palamas has interesting and persuasive answers to offer to all these questions, and that his anthropology has a great deal to offer to Christian life and theology today. Amongst this book's contributions are these: for Palamas, the human is superior to the angels concerning the image of God for specific reasons, all linked to his corporeality. Secondly, the spiritual senses refer not only to the soul, but also to the body. However, in Paradise the body will be absorbed by the spirit, and acquire a totally spiritual aspect. But this does not at all entail a devaluing of the body. On the contrary, St Gregory ascribes a high value to the human body. Finally, central to Palamas' theology is a strong emphasis on the human potentiality for union with God, theosis: that is, the passage from?image to likeness. And herein lies, perhaps, his most important gift to the anthropological concerns of our epoch.
GOD IS EEN SINJOOR.
Wommelgem, Den Gulden Engel, 1987 Paperback, originele uitgeversomslag in kleur, 20x12.5 cm., 215 pp. ISBN 9050350771.
God is een Sinjoor : dat ontdekte Gaston Durnez in zijn tweede vaderstad Antwerpen. Zo noemde hij dan ook dit boek waarin cursiefjes en versjes te lezen staan die door Antwerpenaren maar ook door gewone mensen werden geinspireerd. (Want God is overal, soms zelfs buiten de Sinjorenstee.)
ontvoering van God : De Cultuurhistorische Visie Op De Romaanse En Gotische Kerkarchitectuur
, Davidsfonds 2009, 2009 Paperback, 144 pagina's, Nederlands, 240 x 165 mm, boek in prima staat, met foto's in kleur, En een boodschap van de auteur aan toenmalig Minister van Staat, Leo Tindemans. ISBN 9789058266569.
Al eeuwenlang domineren de middeleeuwse kathedralen onze horizon en bepalen ze het uitzicht van onze steden. Stuk voor stuk zijn zij uitingen van gotische bouwkunst, die nog altijd een grote culturele en religieuze aantrekkingskracht uitoefent op mensen. In De ontvoering van God reist Raoul Bauer terug naar de twaalfde eeuw, de periode waarin de eerste gotische constructies het licht zagen. Hij onderzoekt de omstandigheden die aan de basis lagen van de overgang van de romaanse naar de gotische kerkarchitectuur. E n van de belangrijkste redenen voor de stijlwissel was de veranderende tijdgeest, gedreven door een andere kijk op God, de mens en de wereld. Een interpretatie van de Saint-Philibertkerk in Tournus, de Maria Magdalenabasiliek in V zelay, de cistrerci nzerkerken in Fontenay en Pontigny en de gotische kathedralen van Laon en Amiens, illustreren deze voor onze westerse geschiedenis zo belangrijke ontwikkeling. Sprekende foto?s ondersteunen deze benadering. Prof. Raoul Bauer, historicus en doctor in de letteren, is em. hoogleraar cultuurgeschiedenis. In dit boek geeft hij via een bespreking van de middeleeuwse religieuze architectuur een boeiende en fascinerende inkijk op hoe binnen hetzelfde tijdsbestek verschillende visies op God leefden.
'My God, my God, why have you abandoned me'. The Experience of God's Withdrawal in Late Antique Exegesis, Christology and Ascetic Literature
, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 217 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503593609.
Summary The motif of Gods turning away his face still matters in theology as a direct aftermath of the horrors that the world experienced during WWII and also in the wake of the promotion of an excessive reading of theology, called kenotic. It even appears in unexpected places with no discernible association to the historical development of the Christian doctrine (Caputo, ?i?ek and C.S.Lewis). This book provides a historical supplement to current approaches and explores the way that late antique theology laid out the theoretical substratum on which modern approaches could anchor themselves. It presents the nuanced ways in which the motif of divine abandonment developed in late antiquity, displays the various threads of thought that theology pursued in different contexts (exegesis, Christology and ascetic desert literature), and raises three points: - the extent to which parallel lines were drawn in late antique theology between the experiences of the bride in the Song of Songs, Jesus on the cross and the early ascetics; - the normativeness of divine abandonment in early Christian thought and its association to sinfulness; - the possibility that late antique theology had introduced a Jesus-like 'kind' of abandonment.
