A Saint François-Xavier Hommage D'un Coeur Reconnaissant
Missionnaires au quotidien à Tahiti
Author: Pierre-Yves Toullelan
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004319948
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Missionnaires au quotidien à Tahiti immerses us in the everyday life of Catholic missionaries sent out to the Tahitian islands in the period 1834 to 1914. Using the correspondence of the 167 members of the order of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary, an attempt is made to define the social and geographic origins of the Picpucian people. Priests and friars are followed in their education, from the apostolic school to the first Pacific vicariates. Right from the first days of established contact, we see the management of the day-to-day affairs of these eternal travellers, by turns vicars and planters, schoolmasters and builders. Within the framework of a very hierarchical ecclesiastical structure, we watch the elaboration of a social project that quickly extends beyond the bounds of a narrow theocracy. It is on this societal model that a large part of Polynesia rests today.

Empire of Love
Author: Matt K. Matsuda
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195347471
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
In this broad-ranging survey of Paris, Tahiti, Indochina, Japan, New Caledonia, and the South Pacific generally, Matt Matsuda illustrates the fascinating interplay that shaped the imaginations of both colonizer and colonized. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, Matsuda describes the constitution of a "French Pacific" through the eyes of Tahitian monarchs, Kanak warriors, French politicos and prisoners, Asian revolutionaries and Central American laborers, among others. He argues that French imperialism in the Pacific, both real and imagined, was registered most forcefully in languages of desire and love--for lost islands, promised wealth and riches, carnal and spiritual pleasures--and political affinities. Exploring the conflicting engagements with love for and against the empire in the Pacific, this book is an imaginative and ground-breaking work in global imperial and colonial histories, as well as Pacific histories.

Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Il est parfois utile de faire des petites excursions dans l'Histoire pour mieux comprendre le présent. Qui se souvient encore, dans le peuple chrétien, des richesses insoupçonnées du Concile de Trente ? Qui sait les jaillissements de sainteté qu'il a fait naître, dans l'Église, après les longues années de désarroi dues, en partie, aux guerres incessantes et aux ravages spirituels que les réformes protestantes avaient suscités ?L'Église catholique tout entière devait se réformer. La hiérarchie en était très consciente, mais elle attendait...La présente étude n'a pas l'ambition de réaliser une savante synthèse de l'étonnante vitalité spirituelle de l'après Concile de Trente, mais plus sim-plement d'en dégager la sainteté en présentant, les uns après les autres, ceux qui, clercs ou laïcs, ont été les vrais acteurs de la grande Réforme Catholique.

The Devotion and Promotion of Stigmatics in Europe, c. 1800–1950
Author: Tine Van Osselaer
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004439358
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
In the nineteenth century a new type of mystic emerged in Catholic Europe. While cases of stigmatisation had been reported since the thirteenth century, this era witnessed the development of the ‘stigmatic’: young women who attracted widespread interest thanks to the appearance of physical stigmata. To understand the popularity of these stigmatics we need to regard them as the ‘saints’ and religious ‘celebrities’ of their time. With their ‘miraculous’ bodies, they fit contemporary popular ideas (if not necessarily those of the Church) of what sanctity was. As knowledge about them spread via modern media and their fame became marketable, they developed into religious ‘celebrities’.

The Announcement
Author: Hana Gründler
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110359227
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
The Annunciation: a specific event recounted in the Bible and often represented in artworks, but also the prototype of many other announcements throughout the history of Western culture. This volume proposes new readings of pictorial Annunciations from the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period – treating aspects such as witnesses, inscriptions and architecture – as well as analyses of some visual echoes, reenactments of the announcement to Mary in sacred and profane contexts up to the twenty-first century. Among the latter are included Venetian decoration glorifying the state, a Jean-Luc Godard film, a video art piece by Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Lars von Trier’s Melancholia and a saint’s bedroom turned into a pilgrimage site.

The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church
Author: Andrew Louth
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192638157
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 4474
Book Description
Uniquely authoritative and wide-ranging in its scope, The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church is the indispensable reference work on all aspects of the Christian Church. It contains over 6,500 cross-referenced A-Z entries, and offers unrivalled coverage of all aspects of this vast and often complex subject, from theology; churches and denominations; patristic scholarship; and the bible; to the church calendar and its organization; popes; archbishops; other church leaders; saints; and mystics. In this new edition, great efforts have been made to increase and strengthen coverage of non-Anglican denominations (for example non-Western European Christianity), as well as broadening the focus on Christianity and the history of churches in areas beyond Western Europe. In particular, there have been extensive additions with regards to the Christian Church in Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, and Australasia. Significant updates have also been included on topics such as liturgy, Canon Law, recent international developments, non-Anglican missionary activity, and the increasingly important area of moral and pastoral theology, among many others. Since its first appearance in 1957, the ODCC has established itself as an essential resource for ordinands, clergy, and members of religious orders, and an invaluable tool for academics, teachers, and students of church history and theology, as well as for the general reader.
