The Council of Lyons and Its Aftermath, Through Grosseteste’s Eyes
Authors: McEvoy James 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Grosseteste’s participation in the First Council of Lyons is one of the least researched aspects of his career as bishop. There can be little doubt, however, that it was in his own eyes the most important moment in the ten years that had intervened since his consecration. For a Catholic bishop, to take part in a general council should be a high moment of the experience of ecclesial unity with the pope, the patriarchs, and many other bishops and dignitaries of the Chrch. I will attempt in what follows to bring out the preoccupations that accompanied Grosseteste both as a Council Father and as a visitor to the curia in its exile at Lyons. Some of his activities there can be discerned clearly enough, even though none of them can be reconstructed in any great detail on the basis of our present knowledge.
In the Latin Christian consciousness of the year 1245 the memory of the Fourth Council of the Lateran (convened in 1215 by Pope Innocent III) would have remained sufficiently strong to arouse considerable expectations regarding its successor, and also to present a model for what was about to happen under the new Pope Innocent.
Pastoral Writings
Authors: McEvoy James 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The impact of the Fourth Council of the Lateran upon the life of Grosseteste has not up to the present been given its full weight. The year 1215 marked the culmination of the activity and influence of the most imposing and innovative pope since Gregory VII. The council Innocent III convened carried his message of pastoral renewal, of ecclesiastical liberty of action and of administrative centralization to every corner of the Latin Patriarchate. Grosseteste’s pastoral writings and his activity as bishop (including the influential set of statutes he promulgated for the diocese of Lincoln) all bore the stamp of the great reforming council and shared its conviction that the guidance of souls (regimen animarum) was the art of arts. The postconciliar period witnessed the proliferation of a pastoral literature expounding the sacraments, the articles of faith, the commandments, and the virtues and vices. This new literature was aimed at the academic and practical formation of priests-for parish priests were to be given a new consciousness of their vital local role, and supplied with the means of instructing the faithful in simple and memorable terms. Thanks to a number of recent editions, principally of writings on confession, Grosseteste’s part in this general movement can at last be appreciated.
Anglo-Norman Works
Authors: McEvoy James 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Robert Grosseteste was intensely conscious of the burgeoning of lay life in his own times. One way in which he sought directly to influence the mental and spiritual life of the laity was through his poems and other writings in Anglo-Norman, his native dialect of the French language. We should assume that the few surviving writings represent a larger output.
Up to thirty years ago it was widely accepted that England was a bilingual country until around the middle of the thirteenth century.
The Provenance of Aseneth Reconsidered
Authors: Wolff Christian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Despite Burchard’s recognition that the possibilitity of alternative provenance had never been properly explored, Philonenko’s insistence that Aseneth was composed in Egypt has garnered general acceptance. Not surprisingly, the assumption that Aseneth was composed in Egypt is particularly susceptible to critique, linked as it is to the highly questionable assumptions that the text is both Jewish and relatively early. In this brief chapter, I will propose that while it is certainly possible that Egypt was the site where Aseneth was composed, it is no more likely than several other locations and is perhaps less likely than at least one, namely, Syria.
Aseneth Reconsidered
Authors: Wolff Christian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When Robert Kraft first introduced me, in the early 1970s, to the study of the assortment of texts conveniently but inaccurately labeled pseudepigrapha, I found myself extraordinarily discomfited. Works like Aseneth struck me as frustratingly free-floating, lacking any obvious historical and social context by which to ground my study of them. Years of reading at least some of these texts has muted my sense of alienation and deepened my appreciation for these texts, but as I contemplate the conclusion of this study, I am acutely aware that, despite all our scrupulous and meticulous analysis, Aseneth continues to resist our attempts to see through its forms to the ancient worlds and authors behind it. Like the ancient image of the chameleon, its texts tend to resemble whatever we lay them against, leaving me more and more resigned to our inability to pin the texts down to a particular interpretation and a particular context.
The Jewish Messiahs
Authors: Lenowitz Harris 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this book, Harris Lenowitz explores the fascinating history of Jewish messianic movements. Looking in detail at all of the Jewish messiahs about whom anything is known, he introduces each of these figures in turn, and offers extensive excerpts of the original texts that tell their stories. The messiahs whom we meet in these pages range from the inspiring to the tragic and bizarre. By examining the messianic idea in the tradition which gave birth to it, Lenowitz both sheds new light on this engrossing aspect of Jewish history and provides a firmer basis for understanding contemporary messianic groups.
The Days of Messiah
Authors: Munk Linda 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The final reward and the ultimate good, endless and perfect, is the life of the World to Come; but the Days of Messiah belong to this world, and will be as the world customarily is, except that sovereignty will be restored to Israel.
Moses Maimonides’
Maimonides, who is accounted one of the wisest and soberest Writers amongst the Jews since their last fatal Dispersion in Tract. Saned. cap. 10. saith that Their wise Men are of the Belief that the Kingdom of the Messiah shall continue for a thousand Years.
Rolland and the Emer9in9 Psycholo9y and Reli9ion Movement
Authors: Parsons William b. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We have seen that Rolland, in his letter of December 5, 1927, indicated he was researching a book on the Hindu saints Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. It has generally been assumed that the references to Freud and psychoanalysis in those books are a direct response to Civilization and Its Discontents, much as Rolland’s description of the oceanic feeling has been presented as a reflex action to The Future of an Illusion. This view is untenable because Rolland finished revising his biographies for publication almost two months before he learned of Freud’s interest in analyzing the oceanic feeling. In fact, Rolland did not read Civilization and Its Discontents until late December of 1929, approximately a week before the last volume of his biography of Vivekananda was issued.
A Greater Upset
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One day Leonardo came home highly mortified because, having gone to visit Dona Maria, he had spent a long time with her without Luisinha’s appearing, so that after some hours he was obliged to leave without seeing her. Anyone who has ever been in love, no matter how slightly, and has had to undergo such a disappointment; anyone who has been obliged to endure for long the conversation of an old woman, having to agree with her on every tiny point in order not to incur her displeasure, all only with the goal of exchanging with “someone” a quick glance, a fugitive smile, or some other such; and who, after all was said and done, had not succeeded even in that, will agree that Leonardo had every reason to be put out at what had just happened to him and will forgive him for whatever mood might come over him on that occasion. There are, however, spirits so perverse that they take pleasure in building on someone else’s ill humor and who, the more irritable the unhappy person they see, the more they enjoy throwing brickbats at him.
Jealousy
Authors: Almeida Manuel Antonio De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
By the following day Vidigal knew every detail of all that had happened to Leonardo, and he put himself on the alert, since the opportunity was ripe. Leonardo had entered the royal pantries with his left foot first. The storm he had weathered there was nothing in comparison with the one that came down upon his head when the true cause of his dismissal was learned at home. It is a great misfortune when the woman whom we love does not return that love, but it is also no small mischance when we fall into the hands of a woman who takes it into her head to love us truly. Leonardo could provide testimony to the latter truth. Vidinha was jealous in the highest degree. Now women possess an infinite number of ways of manifesting that sentiment.
The Algonquin Round Table and the Politics of Sophistication
Authors: Miller Nina 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In recent years, traditional notions of modernism and its meanings have given way under the challenges posed by once-unrecognized, nondominant literatures-those of women, African Americans, and immigrants. And yet the cultural register known as “middle-brow”-or, as I will call it, popular modernism-still goes missing from our accounts of early-twentieth-century literary history. The periodical forms of popular modernism-cartoons, newspaper columns, farcical sketches, short fiction, and the glossy magazines of urban life-comprised the most prominent arena in the 1920s for the negotiation of modern selfhood, a selfhood that came to be (and in many ways, still is) defined by irony, urbanity, and humor. More visibly than any other discursive project of the time, middle-brow culture made modern selfhood its explicit and relentless business. Meeting modernity head-on, it answered the crisis of value and dislocation with the heartbreakingly (and deceptively) simple panacea of style.’
Initiation and Self Discovery

Abstract
We are a tongued folk. A race of singers. Our lips shape words and rhythms which elevate our spirits and quicken our blood. . . .

Where Liturgy and Ecumenism Embrace
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
FROM ITS INTERNATIONAL BEGINNINGS IN PROTESTANTISM AT THE TURN OF THE nineteenth century into the twentieth, the motto of the modem ecumenical movement has been “that they may be one.” That invocation of John 17:21 immediately evoked then extclause, namely, “so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” Thus ecumenism was placed in the service of evangelization. The restoration of Christian unity was necessary not only for the practical purposes of cooperation in missionary work but, more profoundly, for the sake of a more credible witness to the Gospel of reconciliation. If the churches could not demonstrate unity among themselves, how could they testify to the reconciliation of the world to God?
The Lima Text in the History of Faith and Order
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
ON 12 JANUARY 1982 THE 120 MEMBERS OF THE WORLD COUNCIL OF Churches Commission on Faith and Order, meeting at Lima (Peru), voted with strict unanimity that the text on Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry (BEM) was sufficiently “mature” to be transmitted to the churches for their response and reception. That decision marked the provisional climax of a journey that had begun at least fifty-five years earlier, at the First World Conference on Faith and Order in Lausanne (Switzerland) in 1927. My purpose now is to retrace that itinerary, speaking first of the long approach, next of the conditions of travel, then of a first arrival (Lima itself), and finally of the continuation of the journey; for BEM has turned into a document that many churches are willing to carry with them on the voyage toward fuller unity.
Praying for Kings: The Place of Human Rulers in the Divine Plan of Salvation
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
THE PLACE OF THE CIVIL RULER IN Goo’s PLAN OF SALVATION IS RAISED BY AT least four New Testament texts that are of liturgical interest: 1 Peter 2:11-17, 1 Timothy 2:1-8, Titus 3:1-2, and Revelation 13:1-10. Taken in themselves or in literary context, all four passages also raise broader questions concerning the content of salvation, its extension, and the nature of the church. The civil ruler has to be seen in relation to these other matters, all of which have been of ecumenical concern both historically and in our times. The first three texts envision a benign role for the civil ruler in the larger drama; the fourth text, with perhaps an anticipation in the penumbra of the third, presents an altogether darker picture. That the themes of worship and prayer are present or close to all these four passages concerning civil rule is not surprising if we hold, with the Westminster Catechism, the implicitly political belief that “man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever.”
Trinitarian Worship
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
IN HIS CONVERSATION WITH THE SAMARITAN WOMAN, JESUS DECLARED, “THE hour is coming and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him” (Jn 4:23). The hour is coming and now is. Some today would say that that hour has been and gone. Scarcely anyone has a good word for the Father. The Truth as it is in Jesus seems to many to be far too particularistic a basis on which to deal with modem science or other religions. When the Spirit is invoked, it is often to bless opinions and activities that have little to do with the virtues the Paraclete encouraged and enabled in the New Testament. It appears to me that liberal, and perhaps even moderate, Protestant­ ism in North America in particular is in greater danger than ever of losing hold of the doctrine of the Trinity, which has been a touch­ stone of historic Christianity. To say nothing of particular relations with the Roman Catholic and the Orthodox Churches, the entire modern ecumenical movement has been built on trinitarian foundations: the basis for membership in the World Council of Churches characteristically declares that the churches “seek to fulfill together their common calling to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”

Memorandum from the Secretary Re: The N.A.A.C.P. and The Crisis
Authors: Wilson Sondra Kathryn 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In 1934 W. E. B. Du Bois shocked Walter White and many NAACP officials when he vowed to make segregation the subject of a year-long discussion in the Crisis. The Association had never really defined segregation with clarity; therefore, there was some ambiguity in its working policy of present conditions but of those to which we aspire. In a world where time and space are being demolished by science it is no longer possible to create or imagine separate racial, national, or other compartments of human thought and endeavor. The Negro must, without yielding, continue the grim struggle for integration and against segregation for his own physical, moral, and spiritual well-being and for that of white America and the world at large.
N.A.A.C.P. Annual Convention Speech
Authors: Wilson Sondra Kathryn 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The struggle against racial segregation and the push for an increased black vote were the issues that dominated the meetings of the 750 delegates from 37 states who attended the convention. The delegates committed the NAACP to an intense drive to end segregation in “all phases of American life.” A panel of experts in the fields of anthropology, economics, psychology, education, housing, and law, under the direction of Special Counsel Thurgood Marshall, explained the characteristics of segregation and how it impacts upon the nation, the community, and the individual. Walter White offered the following address at the closing mass meeting of the convention in 1952. Bishop [Spottswood], members of the Board of Directors, distinguished guests and ladies and gentlemen. It was warm enough when I came in, but after that introduction, virtually entombing me someplace by my friend Bishop Spottswood, makes it much warmer-in fact so warm that I think you will agree with me that people on the platform deserve to be as comfortable in the office-as you in the audience, you who are not burdened with coats. So, with your permission, I’m going to take my coat off and share-invite the people on the platform to do the same thing. It’s just a little better. You may have noticed that I left the platform just as Roy was making that moving appeal. The reason I left was because Senator Humphrey called, and he told me to say hello to you, how happy he was to have been with us in spirit and almost in flesh, to tell you because of the crucial fights in the United States Senate and the House of Representatives now in beating back the attempts of the Dixiecrat Republican coalition to destroy human progress and social legislation that the Senate was in session until well past ten o’clock last night, and the last plane that would have put him here in time for this meeting left Washington last night at five-thirty P.M. daylight savings time. But he was delighted to hear me tell him how attentive you were and how you applauded and then stopped applauding suddenly, lest you miss a single one of his words.
