John Penniman deposited Fed to Perfection: Mother’s Milk, Roman Family Values, and the Transformation of the Soul in Gregory of Nyssa in the group
Religious Studies on Humanities Commons 3 years, 10 months agoPrompted by Michel Foucault’s observation that “salvation is first of all essentially subsistence,” this essay explores Gregory of Nyssa’s discussion of Christian spiritual formation as a kind of salvific and transformative feeding of infants. This article argues that the prominent role of nourishment—and specifically breast milk—in Gregory’s t…[Read more]

John Penniman deposited The Health-Giving Cup: Cyprian’s Ep. 63 and the Medicinal Power of Eucharistic Wine in the group
Religious Studies on Humanities Commons 3 years, 10 months agoCyprian’s Epistle 63 represents the earliest extant account of the proper meaning and administration of the eucharistic cup. Against a group of Christians who were taking only water, Cyprian argues that wine is necessary for the ritual to be effective. While there has been much discussion surrounding the biblical references marshaled by Cyprian t…[Read more]

John Penniman deposited Blended with the Savior: Gregory of Nyssa’s Eucharistic Pharmacology in the group
Religious Studies on Humanities Commons 3 years, 10 months agoHumankind, for Gregory of Nyssa, was poisoned through a primordial act of eating the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden. As a result, the toxin of sin and death has been blended into the body and soul of each person, dispersing itself throughout the component parts of their nature. If eating and drinking initiated the spiritual and physical…[Read more]

Writing Systems on Humanities Commons 3 years, 10 months agoHeroes and Demons entered the northern Mediterranean culture between 600 and 500 BCE when the culture was transforming from the magical Ancient Pagan Paradigm to a lordified Paradigm which forced deity personification making them lords in a royal pantheon instead of powers. This caused an explosion in the number of deities and other divine realm…[Read more]

Gerrit Lange replied to the topic The role of atmosphere in Aesthetics of Religion in the discussion
Aesthetics of Religion – Research Network on Humanities Commons 3 years, 11 months agoDear Andreas,
I find your questions provocative in the best sense, in that they force me to make clear what I did during the last years. To be honest, I have no final answer yet to either of Your questions – but these answers are exactly what I need to finish my thesis. Understanding emotions as practices comes very close to what I am doing. To…[Read more]

Aesthetics of Religion – Research Network on Humanities Commons 3 years, 11 months agoDear Gerrit, Thank you for your reply. Your movies sound very interesting. I am not quite sure, I followed everything you noted. I suspect this is a result of a lack of understanding on my behalf. As a notorious vague term, however, it is certainly difficult to explicate in precise terms what we mean by atmospheres. Perhaps, it is even…[Read more]

Aesthetics of Religion – Research Network on Humanities Commons 3 years, 11 months agoDear Alexandra and Andreas,
thank you for keeping this going!
Unfortunately, I have nothing so far published on atmospheres. I spent the last years making a kind of ethnographic movie series to “capture” something like moods or atmospheres and the strategies of their creation, but I have so far shied away from writing about my movie and its…[Read more]

Albert R Haig deposited Dialectic as Ostension Towards the Transcendent: Language and Mystical Intersubjectivity in Plotinus’ Enneads in the group
Religious Studies on Humanities Commons 3 years, 11 months agoThe theory of language that underlies Plotinus’ Enneads is considered in relation to his
broader metaphysical vision. For Plotinus, language is neither univocal nor equivocal,
but is something in-between, incapable of precisely describing reality, but nonetheless
not completely useless. Propositional knowledge expressed discursively r…[Read more] - Load More
