“…Presentación del editor: "Contemporain et admirateur de Jacques Ier Stuart, Edward Forset entreprend de justifier la monarchie absolue sans privilégier l'argument traditionnel du droit divin. Il s'agit moins pour lui de dévoiler le fondement du pouvoir que de chercher les meilleures conditions de son exercice. …”

“…This book argues that such revolutionaries had divined the true intent of the enigma who threw over the tables of the money-changers: to summon a new epoch - strange, iconoclastic, uncomfortable and otherworldly. …”

“…By focusing on Hymns on the Nativity, the author delves into the ways Ephrem articulated Mary’s motherhood, presenting it in its dual aspects: human and divine. The study places particular emphasis on how Ephrem integrates his Christological vision with his Mariology, thus enriching the understanding of both these aspects of early Christian thought. …”

“…Strange to abstract scholasticism, his words breathe the inspiration of the living tradition, where Christ is the Divine Absolute, "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Heb 13:8).Because Fr Sophrony traversed the major religious and intellectual movements of our time, his spiritual make-up is enriched by various currents of thought. …”

“…"Par quelles médiations, traductions, représentations et transformations conceptuelles, est-on passé de la pensée antique des "divines folies" chez les Grecs à celle des "héroïques fureurs" de Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), cette expérience de la folie dans laquelle le philosophe, à la poursuite de l'objet infini, se constitue en un paradoxal "sujet hors de soi" ? …”

“…The studies are united by an interest in how these texts cast the relationships between individuals and how they constructed various media of interrelation, such as money, friendship, women and the divine. Reading these texts on these terms reveals how values were renegotiated through paradoxes and inverted stories that subtly reshaped the utopias of the 4th century BCE. …”

“…As a specific thematic point of reference, the editors have chosen the tense relationship that can exist between law as divine statutes and law as human order. The current reason to address this question more closely is the perception of a renewed strength of the religious - both with regard to the religions traditionally anchored in the western states as well as those practiced by minorities, namely Islam. …”

“…He explores authorial purposes ranging from technical attempts to match sound and genre to the lofty aims of improving the vernacular or ennobling culture, from the dramatist's practical search for verse forms suited to the stage to Milton's quest for a meter fit to convey divine relation…”

“…Chesterton was "the first man of our time to introduce the great name of God into a detective story . . . to enlarge the boundaries of the detective story by making it deal with death and real wickedness and real, that is to say, divine judgment." This edition includes footnotes not available in other versions, which help to clarify the literary and historical allusions made by Father Brown. …”

“…It is, however, not betraying Chesterton to claim that there is one central theme around which all his thinking and writing can be ordered: the theme of the grandeur of the reality of human, created in the image of God and participating in the beauty of divine creativity. His philosophy, if we want to characterize it in any one way, is a philosophy of life, of human living, with all that implies of rationality and freedom, of truth and paradox, of religion and morality, or faith and hope and love―in short, of all that makes human living spectacularly worthwhile…”

“…Ancient religions are definitely complex systems of gods, which resist our understanding. Divine names provide fundamental keys to gain access to the multiples ways gods were conceived, characterized, and organized. …”

“…Comment définir l’infinité du divin ? Comment classer l’inclassable ? À ces questions, les auteurs de ce recueil répondent de diverses manières mais tous ont un même regard pour saisir les dieux dans la précision des gestes du rituel, selon leur contexte, et ainsi comprendre comment les perçoivent ceux qui les vénèrent…”

“…Topics covered include: analogical language and knowledge of God, the role of metaphysics within theology, the relation of cognition to the divine archetypes of things, the possibility of human apprehension of God's essence, the nature of substance, and speculation on the Trinity. …”

“…La Passion du Christ nous révèle fondamentalement deux grandes vérités : la monstruosité du péché, et la merveille de l'amour divin. La croix montre le mal dans toute sa monstruosité. …”

“…L'émergence de l'État, entité anonyme et désincarnée, consolide ce pouvoir temporel face à l'Église, mais contraint celui-là à renouveler son langage iconographique à mesure qu'il s'émancipe du divin. Quelles sont les stratégies iconographiques, toujours appuyées sur une imagerie discursive, mises en oeuvre par la monarchie? …”

“…Vertical links to God and horizontal links to distant regions identified religious travelers - both men and women - as holy, connected to the human and the divine across physical and spiritual distances. Using textual sources, material culture, and place studies, this project is among the first to contextualize the geographic and temporal movement of early medieval people to reveal the diversity of religious travel, from the voluntary journeys of pilgrims to the forced travel of Christian slaves. …”

“…Herméneutique du dessein divin où les créatures spirituelles sont éternellement appelées à la participation divinisante de la Trinité, par la grâce de la sanctification filiale, la christologie cherche à conduire à la contemplation théologale du mystère du Christ. …”

“…The story of the emerging Islamist Revolution is largely one of an Islamic response to western thinking based around individualism and personal relationships with the divine, juxtaposed to the Islamist demand to place human values above politics and self-interest. …”

“…In the biblical worldview, blasphemy was the direct verbal abuse of the divine person, punishable by death. For the medievals, it was taken as a threat to civil order. …”

“…While during the First World War German poets and philosophers became intoxicated by the experience of community and transcendence, Barth fought against all attempts to locate the divine in culture or individual sentiment. This freed him for a deep worldly engagement: he was known as "the red pastor," was the primary author of the founding document of the Confessing Church, the Barmen Theological Declaration, and after 1945 protested the rearmament of the Federal Republic of Germany. …”
