Poezja w protestanckich kancjonałach Białorusi w XVI wieku
No full textPierwsze poetyckie utwory renesansowe w języku starobiałoruskim i w łacinie zostały wydru kowane na początku XVI w. w Krakowie, Brześciu i Nieświeżu, zaś w latach 50.-60. XVI w. ukazywały się drukiem pierwsze wiersze i poematy w języku polskim. Aktywni działacze ruchu protestanckiego, usiłując spopularyzować w społeczeństwie nowe poglądy religijne, korzystali z dostępnej dla odbiorcy formy wiersza. W danym artykule autor zwraca szczególną uwagę na dwa kancjonały: brzeski Pieśni chwał Boskich, przygotowany przez Jana Zarębę i wydrukowany przez Stanisława Murmeliusa w 1558 r., oraz nieświeski Katechizm, albo krótkie w jedno miejsce zebra nie wiary i powinności Krześcijańskiej..., wydany w 1563 r. przez Daniela Łęczyckiego w drukami należącej do Macieja Kawiaczyńskiego. Zdaniem autora, wiersze zawarte w kancjonałach, będąc religijnymi utworami o charakterze publicystycznym, przygotowywały grunt do powstania świec kiej poezji politycznej.The first Renaissance poems in Old Belarussian and Latin were printed at the beginning of the 16lh century in Cracow, Brześć and Nieśwież, however the first poems in Polish came out in print in the 50s and 60s of the 16th century. Protestant activists of the Protestant movement poem, accessible to the reader, in order to popularize their religious views in the society. In the article the author places particular emphasis on two religious songbooks: the Brześć Pieśni chwał, by Jan Zaręba and printed by Stanislaw Murmelius in 1558, and the Nieśwież Katechizm, albo krótkie, w jedno miejsce zebranie wiary i powinności Krześcijańskiej, published in 1563 by Daniel Łęczy ca in the printing house of Maciej Kawiaczyński. The author expresses the view that, as religious works of commentary nature, the poems from the songbooks set the stage for the appearance of secular political poetry
American Roulette: The Effect of Reminders of Death on Support for George W. Bush in the 2004 Presidential Election
No full textAn experiment was conducted to assess the effect of a subtle reminder of death on voting intentions for the 2004 U.S. presidential election. On the basis of terror management theory and previous research, we hypothesized that a mortality salience induction would increase support for President George W. Bush and decrease support for Senator John Kerry. In late September 2004, following a mortality salience or control induction, registered voters were asked which candidate they intended to vote for. In accord with predictions, Senator John Kerry received substantially more votes than George Bush in the control condition, but Bush was favored over Kerry following a reminder of death, suggesting that President Bush's re-election may have been facilitated by non conscious concerns about mortality in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.This is an electronic version of the article published in Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy, 5(1):177-187, 2005 Dec.The definitive version is available at www3.interscience.wiley.co
Angelology in situ : recovering higher-order beings as emblems of transcendence, immanence and imagination
No full textThe aim of this study is twofold: to identify the theological purpose underlying the depiction of angels at certain key points in the history of their use, and to explore how far that deeper theological rationale can be re-appropriated for our own day.
This study first traces the progression of the angelic motif in the Hebrew Scriptures. By examining numerous pericopes in the Pentateuch, major prophets and Daniel, I demonstrate that the metamorphosis of higher-order beings like the angel of the Lord, cherubim and seraphim, is directly related to the writers’ desire to enhance God’s transcendence.
Next, I evaluate pseudo-Denys’ hierarchical angelology, which prominent theologians like Luther and Calvin condemned as little more than a Neoplatonic scheme for accessing God through angels. I propose that not only has pseudo-Denys’ Neoplatonism been overstated, but that his angelology is particularly noteworthy for the way it accentuates Christ’s eucharistic immanence to the Church.
Then I maintain that because assessments of Aquinas’ angelology are often based upon the Summa Theologiae, his views are wrongly portrayed as overtly philosophical, rather than biblical and exegetical. In his lesser-known biblical commentaries, however, Aquinas pushes the semantic range of the word ‘angel’ to include aspects of the physical world, which unveils an imaginative, Christocentric, and scriptural dimension of his angelology that is rarely acknowledged.
The conclusion considers how contemporary figures and movements relate to these three angelologies. Barth emphasises the transcendent God but unlike Hebrew Scripture, weakens connections between God and angels. New Ageism affirms the immanent angel but unlike pseudo-Denys, does so at the expense of Christology and ecclesiology. Contemporary ecological discourse generally lacks Aquinas’ appreciation for an imaginative, supernatural approach to the world. Finally, I ground the angels’ relationship to transcendence, immanence and imagination in an experiential, eucharistic context
