Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Joseph Bimeler letter to Peter Kaufmann, June 8, 1844
No full textLetter from J. M. Bimeler (by Christian Weibel) to Peter Kaufmann, acknowledging receipt of Bibles and spelling books and ordering more Bibles. He repeats his statement from his letter of April 31, 1844, of a preference for Bibles that embrace the Apocrypha. The letter also requests a catalog of books on hand at Kaufmann's establishment.
Led by Joseph Bimeler (sometimes spelled Bäumeler) in 1817, a group of Lutheran separatists left Germany and eventually established the small community of Zoar in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. The group formed the Society of Separatists of Zoar, in which each person donated his or her property to the community as a whole, and in exchange for their work, the society would provide for them. After decades of economic prosperity, the unity of the village declined, and by 1898 the Zoarites disbanded the society.
Peter Kaufmann was a German immigrant and intellectual. He arrived first in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1820; in 1826 he became professor of languages at the Harmony Society town of Economy, Pennsylvania. In 1827, Kaufmann led the establishment of Teutonia, a utopian community in Columbiana County, Ohio, and published its weekly titled "Teutonia: The Herald of a Better Time." Following this he moved to Canton, Ohio, where he became translator and editor of "Der Vaterlandsfreund und Geist der Zeit" under Solomon Sala. Additionally, Kaufmann wrote a number of books on education, as well as a German almanac. He was also an influential Democrat, counting President Van Buren among his friends, and knew Ralph Waldo Emerson

Influences of host community characteristics on Borrelia burgdorferi infection prevalence in Blacklegged ticks
No full textLyme disease is a major vector-borne bacterial disease in the USA. The disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, and transmitted among hosts and humans, primarily by blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis). The ~25 B. burgdorferi genotypes, based on genotypic variation of their outer surface protein C (ospC), can be phenotypically separated as strains that primarily cause human diseases – human invasive strains (HIS) – or those that rarely do – and are non-randomly associated with host species. The goal of this study was to examine the extent to which phenotypic outcomes of B. burgdorferi could be explained by the host communities fed upon by blacklegged ticks. In 2006 and 2009, we determined the host community composition based on abundance estimates of the vertebrate hosts, and collected host-seeking nymphal ticks in 2007 and 2010 to determine the ospC genotypes within infected ticks. We regressed instances of B. burgdorferi phenotypes on site-specific characteristics of host communities by constructing Bayesian hierarchical models that properly handled missing data. The models provided quantitative support for the relevance of host composition on Lyme disease risk pertaining to B. burgdorferi prevalence (i.e., overall nymphal infection prevalence, or NIPAll) and HIS prevalence among the infected ticks (NIPHIS). In 2006, we found positive associations of the relative abundances of mice, of chipmunks, and of shrews with NIPAll. We also found positive associations of NIPHIS with shrews, and with host community diversity (H’), but negative associations with mice, and with chipmunks. In 2009, the relative abundance of mice showed a positive association with NIPAll, whereas the relative abundance of shrews and of H’ showed a negative association. With NIPHIS, only H’ showed a positive association, whereas the relative abundances of mice, of chipmunks, and of shrews, had negative associations. Our study highlights the variability between two years in the effects of host composition on B. burgdorferi genotypes. More importantly, our results highlight how disease risk inference, based on the role of host community, changes when we examine risk overall or at the phenotypic level. Long-term studies will be necessary to detect any consistent effects of host community composition on genotypic variation in the Lyme disease spirochetes
Jesus Remembered in 1 Peter? Early Jesus Traditions, Isaiah 53, and 1 Pet 2.21-25
No full textThis is the accepted version of the chapter. Please cite the published version which is available via http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/james-1-2-peter-and-early-jesus-traditions-9780567420534.First presented as a paper at SBL, this chapter argues that 1 Pet 2.21-25 reflects knowledge of various traditions concerning Jesus' trial, suffering, and death, though the lack of specific verbal overlaps does not indicate literary dependence on the Synoptic Passion Narratives. Through the extensive use of Isa 53, the author in effect "scripturalizes" the Passion narrative in ways that would, of course, prove highly influential and significant
