O presente trabalho teve por objetivo fazer uma reflexão sobre a RCCBrasil à luz das atuais transformações espaciais urbanas com a intenção de evidenciar as implicações para o meio eclesial católico. Toda a atuação da RCCBrasil no território brasileiro, desde o seu surgimento, está inserida nas principais cidades do país. Assim, é de extrema importância o destaque que esse trabalho dá às implicações do espaço urbano e suas decorrências para a composição do ambiente eclesial católico. Essas implicações permitem pensar sobre as possibilidades da ação evangelizadora em lugares marcados por novos usos, arranjos espaciais e transformações constantes. Esta dissertação vai retratar como a RCCBrasil foi estendendo suas atividades por todo o território brasileiro ao longo dos anos e organizando uma estrutura para dar suporte ao surgimento dos grupos de oração, eventos de louvor e formação. A pesquisa demonstra que o desenvolvimento da RCCBrasil foi rápido, e a diversidade regional não foi um obstáculo para o crescimento do número de membros, que são assessorados pelos diversos ministérios, pelo Escritório Nacional e pelas coordenações locais e regionais. Este trabalho ressalta a ligação da RCCBrasil com a RCC em vários países e a importância da identidade do movimento carismático católico como uma forma de reavivamento religioso que se estendeu por vários continentes. O uso dos meios de comunicação pela RCCBrasil serve como forma de divulgar suas atividades, identidade e a doutrina católica. A RCCBrasil coloca à disposição dos membros, principalmente no espaço virtual, informações sobre a Igreja Católica no Brasil e em Roma, destacando pronunciamentos dos bispos e do Papa.
This current work aims at placing a reflection on RCCBrasil and the current urban space transformation in order to highlight the implications for the catholic ecclesiastic world. All the action of the RCCBrasil in the Brazilian territory since its beginning has occurred in the major cities of the country. Therefore, the focus given in this work to the implications of the urban space and its consequences in the composition of the catholic ecclesiastic environment is extremely important. These implications enable a reflection on the possibilities of the evangelical action in places marked by new uses, special arrangements and frequent transformation. This dissertation is going to portrait how RCCBrasil has stretched its activities all over the Brazilian territory throughout the years and organized a structure to support the beginning of groups of prayer, formation events and praise. The research shows that the development of RCCBrasil has been fast, and the regional diversity has not prevented the growth in the number of members, who are assisted by several ministries, by the National Office and by the local and regional coordination. This work enhances the connection between RCCBrasil and RCC in several countries and the importance of the identity of the catholic charismatic movement as a means of religious revival which has spread to several continents. The use of media by RCCBrasil grants its members the access to information, mainly on the internet, about the Catholic Church in Brazil and in Rome, highlighting the Popes and the bishops speeches.

Abstract:

The concept of shepherding others goes back thousands of years, yet the shepherding metaphor received limited review in academic circles. A study transpired in order to better understand what shepherding entails. It was not known how self-declared leaders from the ecclesiastic, business, and education fields, perceived, described, and practiced shepherd leadership in the greater New York metropolitan area. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how 30 self-declared leaders from the ecclesiastic, business, and education fields, perceived, described, and practiced shepherd leadership. The researcher conducted a qualitative case study involving 30 experienced leaders from three Abrahamic faiths (Jewish, Christian, Islamic) and three fields (ecclesiastic, business, education). All 30 participants completed the Shepherd Leader Inventory and the Brodie Ranking of Shepherd Leadership Skills. Combining 13 open-ended interviews with the two surveys enabled the researcher to triangulate the data. When participants were asked to describe practices unique to shepherding, the leaders in the study mentioned that the shepherd leader cares about others, behaves in a professional manner, builds up others, thinks through actions, builds relationships, shares authority, develops others, shows flexibility, and provides guidance. The researcher discovered that shepherding consists of similar constructs as several positive leadership models. Shepherding proceeds from Theory Z where the leader maintains authority in times of crisis and shares authority in times of ease.

The purpose of this thesis is to understand from a phenomenological perspective the reasons why Christian religious leaders such as priests and pastors enroll for postgraduate and graduate work on psychology, what this type of education means for them, and what contribution psychology can provide to their ecclesiastical practices. In order to reach this objective interviews were conducted with religious leaders who majored in psychology and remain active professionals in the religious work field. As a comparandum, a religious leader with no previous education in psychology was interviewed, and his perspective helped broaden the scope of this research as well as helped us understand the reasons why the other participants sought training in this area. The analysis of the interviews - which were planned and developed according to a phenomenological approach - was based on the assumptions of three kinds of scholars: those who work as psychologists, those who work as religious leaders, and those who work both as psychologists and as religious leaders. This investigation reached the following conclusions: although Christian religious leaders work on a daily basis providing care for human beings, their previous seminary training does not sufficiently enable them to handle many of the issues brought to them by their church members, since that previous training focused mainly upon a person´s spiritual dimensions; the wish to feel better prepared to accomplish their work has led many Christian religious leaders to seek training as professional psychologists; as far as it was ascertained, training in psychology does not hinder their performance as religious leaders; rather, psychology is seen as a partner able to make them more efficient; although there have been moments when psychology and spirituality were considered as antagonistic interests, the present relationship between psychology and religion is seen by religious leaders as important, necessary, and healthy, since both religion and psychology aim at helping people. Their understanding is that when psychologists and religious leaders work together the aid thus provided by them become much more effective
O objetivo desta dissertação é compreender, a partir de uma metodologia fenomenológica, quais as razões pelas quais líderes religiosos cristãos, padres e pastores, procuram formação em cursos de graduação ou pós-graduação de Psicologia, qual o significado dessa busca para eles, e as contribuições da Psicologia para as suas práticas eclesiásticas. Para que esse objetivo fosse contemplado foram realizadas entrevistas com líderes religiosos que fizeram uma formação em Psicologia e continuam na prática de sua atividade sacerdotal. Como contraponto, para ampliar a compreensão do tema, foi entrevistado um líder religioso que não procurou nenhuma formação em Psicologia, e sua visão colaborou na compreensão das razões que levaram os colaboradores anteriormente entrevistados a buscarem conhecimentos nessa área. A análise das entrevistas, planejadas e desenvolvidas de acordo com as propostas metodológicas da fenomenologia, teve como referência teóricos que lidam no âmbito da Psicologia e também teóricos que lidam no âmbito da Religião, bem como autores que atuam na interlocução desses dois domínios. Este estudo permitiu apontar algumas conclusões: embora cotidianamente o líder religioso cristão atue dando atenção ao ser humano, o preparo prévio, ocorrido no seminário, não o capacita suficientemente para lidar com muitas das questões que lhe são colocadas pelos seus fiéis, visto que neste preparo está focada prioritariamente a dimensão espiritual; o desejo de se sentir melhor preparado para realizar seu trabalho, e assim atender satisfatoriamente as pessoas em suas diversas necessidades, tem motivado líderes religiosos a buscarem os recursos e a capacitação em procedimentos que são próprios da Psicologia; o contato com a Psicologia não diminui a importância de sua atividade eclesiástica, antes, a Psicologia é vista por estes líderes religiosos como uma parceira, ela os torna sacerdotes mais eficientes; embora marcada por momentos de desencontros ao longo do tempo, a relação atual entre a Psicologia e a Religião tem sido vista por estes líderes religiosos cristãos como importante, necessária e saudável, visto que ambas têm o propósito de auxiliar o ser humano, e agindo em comum interesse este auxílio se torna mais efetivo

Este trabalho contribui em compreender as mudanças pelas quais a cooperação internacional não governamental para o desenvolvimento foi submetida, a partir da década de 1990, no que concerne às suas estratégias, gestão e finanças. Para tanto, optou-se por analisar as agências eclesiásticas alemãs: Serviço das Igrejas Evangélicas na Alemanha para o Desenvolvimento (EED), MISEREOR e Pão para o Mundo. Norteia a investigação a premissa de que as mudanças na cooperação internacional não governamental estão relacionadas aos ideários de desenvolvimento, marcado, a partir de 1990, pela expansão dos princípios neoliberais. Com o acirramento crescente das contradições sociais, surgiu no seio do ideário neoliberal o paradigma do desenvolvimento humano, amparado num novo consenso social, do qual o não governamental foi convidado a fazer parte compartilhando das diretrizes e agendas das organizações internacionais oficiais da cooperação para o desenvolvimento. Para estudar as mudanças nas agências eclesiásticas alemãs, esta dissertação investiga as diretrizes definidas pelos organismos multilaterais em torno do CAD/OCDE em prol do fortalecimento do consenso em volta do novo ideário de desenvolvimento e combate à pobreza, observando o lugar do nãogovernamental nesses discursos. São analisadas as políticas da União Europeia de cooperação para o desenvolvimento, verificando sua convergência com os princípios e agendas estabelecidos internacionalmente, assim como a relação com os Estados Membros no que tange a essas políticas. Finalmente, analisa-se as peculiaridades do caso alemão, revisitando as características fundamentais do Estado alemão e sua a relação com as células sociais do país. São investigadas as particularidades da relação com as agências eclesiásticas de cooperação ao desenvolvimento, a partir de documentos fornecidos pelo próprio Ministério da Cooperação Alemã (BMZ). A partir de entrevistas com coordenadores das agências, são registradas evidências de mudanças nas estratégicas, gestão e finanças, decorrentes do ideário de desenvolvimento que se consolida no pós 1990 e, principalmente, na primeira década de 2000, no seio da cooperação internacional para o desenvolvimento.

Abstract:
Cette thèse traite de la faillite du système juridique dans les vieux fabliaux français. En comparant les fabliaux aux étendues légales de la période, il devient évident que les auteurs des fabliaux étaient en possession d'une connaissance minutieuse et complète du système juridique. Une connaissance qu'ils n'ont pas hésité à incorporer à leurs histoires. Pourtant ce sont les faiblesses inhérentes et les perversions récurrentes du système judiciaire et de la corruption de ses représentants qui se tiennent dans les fabliaux pendant qu'ils présentent une vision d'un monde dans lequel la justice est au mieux incertaine. Ces fabliaux offrent une critique fréquemment amère du système légal, tant laïc qu'ecclésiastique, aussi bien que de ses autorités dont le pouvoir de mains est tenu. Le monde fermé de l'épopée Chrétienne, absolue et immuable, mène dans les fabliaux à l'absence du point de référence qui peut être pris comme un donné
This thesis treats of the bankruptcy of the legal system in the old french fabliaux. By comparing the fabliaux to the legal tracts of the period, it becomes evident that the fabulists have been in possession of a thorough and complete knowledge of the judicial system. A knowledge which they did not hesitate to incorporate into their stories. Yet it is the inherent weaknesses and recurrent perversions of the legal system and the corruption of its representatives which stands out in the fabliaux as they present a vision of a world in which justice is at best uncertain. These fabliaux offer a frequently bitter criticism of the legal system, both secular and ecclesiastic, as well as of their authorities whose power of hands is held. The closed world of the Christian epic, absolute and immutable, leeds in the fabliaux to the absence of point of reference which can be taken as a data

The proposal of using marketing strategies in the evangelization practice within the Catholic Church has always nourshired debates among different groups of such institution. On the one hand, followers of the marketing practices argue that it is an option which is available for the Catholic Church to efficiently fulfill its objectives. On the other hand, opposers to the marketing practices affirm the incompatibility between the marketing logic and the prophetical logic of the jewish-christian tradition. This group postulates that the marketing logic is attached to that one of the consumist society and, therefore, to the capitalism logic. Their criticisms to capitalism is, consequently extended to marketing itself. Given this controversy, this dissertation has, as its main goal, showing there is no contradiction in the usage of some marketing techniques in the evangelization practice by groups committed to the prophetic criticism about the consumist culture, in order to gain more efficacy in its prophetic practice. Hence, we intend to show that there is contradiction between the marketing logic and the prophetic logic, but there is not such contradiction between the usage of marketing techniques and the prophetic mission of christianism. As for the methodological approach, we have chosen to apply the bibliographical research, which was primarily based on the following authors: Peter Drucker and Philip Kotler, key contributors to define the meaning of marketing in the Marketing and Business Administration area, Jung Mo Sung who contributed in the analysis of the relationships among marketing logic, prophetical logic and evangelization and Afonso Murad who was an important reference to articulate the concepts of management and strategy in the evangelization practice.(AU)
A proposta de utilização do marketing na ação evangelizadora da Igreja Católica provoca debates entre os diversos segmentos da instituição. Por um lado, setores favoráveis defendem que a utilização do marketing religioso é uma alternativa disponível para Igreja Católica buscar a eficácia na realização de seus objetivos. Por outro lado, setores contrários ao marketing religioso afirmam que há incompatibilidade entre a lógica do marketing e a lógica profética da tradição judaico-cristã. Estes setores assumem a visão de que a lógica do marketing está articulada à lógica da sociedade do consumo, e, portanto, à lógica do capitalismo. Como são críticos ao capitalismo, passam a ser, também, contrários ao uso do marketing na ação eclesial. Diante desta controvérsia, esta dissertação tem o objetivo de mostrar que não há contradição na utilização de algumas técnicas de marketing na ação evangelizadora dos setores católicos comprometidos com a crítica profética à cultura do consumo, a fim de que sua ação profética seja mais eficaz. Nesse sentido, pretendemos mostrar que, de fato, há contradição entre a lógica do marketing e a lógica profética, mas que não existe, necessariamente, contradição entre o uso de algumas técnicas de marketing e a missão profética do cristianismo. Como procedimentos metodológicos, optamos por uma pesquisa bibliográfica a partir dos seguintes referenciais teóricos: Peter Drucker e Philip Kotler foram importantes para fundamentar o significado do marketing nas áreas de Marketing e de Administração. No campo das Ciências da Religião os referenciais teóricos foram Jung Mo Sung, que contribuiu com o estudo das relações entre lógica do mercado, lógica profética e evangelização, e Afonso Murad, que foi importante para articular os conceitos de gestão e de estratégia na ação evangelizadora.(AU)

The Expositor Cristão, which is the official newspaper of the Methodist Church in Brazil, started in 1886, with what could be called an ecumenic proposition: it´s first name, Methodista Catholico (Catholic Methodist), uncovers the desire for universalism, as shown in the first number editorial. It´s creator, a north american missionary called John James Ransom intended a non sectarian doctrinarian and orientational newspaper, in accordance with the wesleyan tradition. But the Methodista Catholico had a short life: within less than a year it became the Expositor Cristão. The brazilian religious field was then under an apologetic controversy, with the insertion of mission protestantism, from anglo-saxon origin, opposing the Roman Catholicism. The name of the newborn newspaper was one more victim of the confrontations. This work put itself to evaluate how the newspaper treated the question of ecumenism since this period until the entry of the Methodist Church in the CONIC, National Council of Christian Churches, at the beginning of the decade of 1980. The research found that the deep rooted anti catholicism in brazilian Methodism at it´s prime never disappeared completely. Also realised that the Methodism was not immune to the conflicts that existed among the denominations of the evangelical world. In spite of the well acknowledged pioneering of the Methodist church in creating brazilian ecumenic organisations, ecumenism always faced internal barriers, more or less disguised. The newspaper Expositor Cristão, created to be a medium of information and doctrinarian formation, not always showed with the necessary clarity which meaning the Methodist Church confer to the word ecumenism and how the Church practices it. In some moments, the coexistence between ecumenism and anti ecumenism in the heart of the methodist field was not brought under the light of the debates of the newspaper, but remained hidden due to omissions and ambivalences. This is what this work could notice from a qualitative evaluation of the newspaper content´s.(AU)
O jornal Expositor Cristão, órgão oficial da Igreja Metodista no Brasil, nasceu em 1886, com uma proposta que se poderia chamar de ecumênica: seu primeiro nome, Methodista Catholico, revela o desejo de universalidade, confirmado pelo editorial de estréia. Seu criador, o missionário norte-americano John James Ransom, pretendia um veículo de orientação doutrinária que não fosse sectário, em consonância com a tradição wesleyana. Mas o Metodista Católico teve vida curta: em pouco mais de um ano passou a se chamar Expositor Cristão. O campo religioso brasileiro vivia, então, o período da controvérsia apologética, com a inserção do protestantismo de missão, de origem anglo-saxã, em contraposição ao catolicismo romano. O nome do recém-nascido jornal foi mais uma vítima dos embates. Este trabalho se dispôs a avaliar como o jornal tratou a questão do ecumenismo desde esse período até a entrada da Igreja Metodista no CONIC, Conselho Nacional de Igrejas Cristãs, no início da década de 1980. A pesquisa constatou que o anticatolicismo arraigado no metodismo brasileiro em seus primórdios jamais desapareceu por completo. Notou também que o metodismo não esteve imune aos conflitos interdenominacionais existentes no próprio meio evangélico. Em que pese o reconhecido pioneirismo da Igreja Metodista na criação de organismos ecumênicos brasileiros, o ecumenismo sempre enfrentou barreiras internas, mais ou menos explícitas. E o jornal Expositor Cristão, criado para ser um veículo de informação e formação doutrinária, nem sempre comunicou com a necessária clareza qual o significado que a Igreja Metodista confere à palavra ecumenismo e como ela o pratica. Em alguns momentos, a coexistência entre ecumenismo e antiecumenismo no interior do campo metodista não foi trazida à luz dos debates pelo jornal, mas permaneceu oculta por omissões e ambivalências. É o que este trabalho pôde constatar a partir de uma avaliação qualitativa do conteúdo do jornal.(AU)

Abstract:
2011 - 2012
Oggetto della tesi di dottorato è stato lo studio dell’Impresa Non Lucrativa di Utilità Sociale (I.N.L.U.S.), introdotta dal d. lgs. n. 155 del 2006, con particolare riferimento alla sua applicazione agli enti ecclesiastici. Difatti, i numerosi richiami all’ente ecclesiastico contenuti nella disciplina sulle INLUS sono di tale portata da creare una sorta di decreto nel decreto che fanno dubitare della stessa opportunità di legiferare in occasione dell’introduzione dell’impresa sociale su una tipologia di enti, quale quella dell’ente ecclesiastico, dotata di peculiarità normative, strutturali e funzionali che ne avrebbero di converso giustificato una disciplina ad hoc, che avrebbe altresì evitato contrasti e sovrapposizioni normative. Una parte rilevante ed innovativa dello studio compiuto si è soffermato sull’analisi dell’imprenditorialità dell’ente ecclesiastico e ad una sua possibile applicazione delle procedure concorsuali. Quest’ultima, difatti, è una disputa che ha da sempre interessato e diviso gli studiosi delle materie ecclesiasticista e commercialista e che proprio con la normativa sull’impresa sociale ha trovato nuova linfa: proprio l’art. 15 del decreto I.N.L.U.S. dispone una penetrante deroga per gli enti ecclesiastici, non sottoposti all’applicazione della procedura della liquidazione coatta amministrativa come invece disposto per le altre tipologie di enti che abbiano acquisito la qualifica di impresa sociale. Lo studio di questa deroga è divenuto ancor più interessante ed attuale all’indomani delle prime pronunce di merito sulla questione dell’applicazione delle procedure concorsuali all’ente ecclesiastico-impresa sociale. Il definitivo cambio di rotta è rappresentato dalla sentenza emessa il 3 dicembre 2009 dal Tribunale civile di Paola, la quale ha stabilito che ove l’ente ecclesiastico si faccia imprenditore dovrà applicarsi la relativa disciplina ivi compresa quella fallimentare, poggiando tale assunto su due dati normativi: un requisito diretto e relativo all’art. 1 della l. fall., ed un requisito indiretto, che fa capo agli artt. 6 e 15 del d. lgs. n. 155 del 2006. Su tutte queste questioni e su uno sguardo all’applicazione di alcuni casi concreti della disciplina dell’impresa sociale si è soffermato lo studio da me compiuto nel ciclo dottorale e sviluppato nell’elaborato finale.

Abstract:
Souvent étudiées pour l'époque moderne, les bibliothèques ecclésiastiques sont rarement connues pour le clergé du XIXe siècle, en particulier pour la masse du clergé paroissial qui fait l'objet de cette étude. A travers un corpus constitué des bibliothèques personnelles de 650 membres du clergé séculier morts entre 1802 et 1914 dans cinq diocèses français – Troyes, Cahors, Chartres, Rennes et Avignon – choisis en raison de la variété de situation politiques, religieuses et sociales qu'ils illustrent, ce travail a pour objectif de dresser un portrait intellectuel du clergé concordataire. La thèse est organisée autour de trois axes : il s'agit d'abord de saisir la place que le livre occupe dans la construction de la figure sacerdotale, comme symbole mais aussi en tant qu'objet présent dans l'environnement quotidien du prêtre. Ensuite, on veut comprendre les facteurs qui poussent les prêtres à la lecture, et permettent d'identifier d'éventuelles distinctions intellectuelles au sein du clergé, pour mieux connaître les réseaux qui nourrissent la curiosité ecclésiastique. Enfin, on aspire à dresser un tableau des références intellectuelles que fréquente ce clergé, et de leur évolution au cours du siècle, afin de mieux comprendre son positionnement dans les débats qui le préoccupent dans une époque de bouleversements mais aussi d'approcher ses goûts et inclinations les plus personnels. Entre l'histoire religieuse et l'histoire des bibliothèques, ce travail cherche à comprendre la nature du catholicisme du clergé au XIXe siècle à partir des ouvrages qu'il fréquente
Though ecclesiastical libraries of modern period have been frequently subject of studies, however the 19th century clergy ones are little known, especially for the mass of parish priests on whom this work focuses. Based on a corpus of private libraries of 650 members of secular clergy died betwenn 1802 and 1914 in five French dioceses – Troyes, Cahors, Chartres, Rennes and Avigon – chosen for the variety of situations they present from political, religious and social points of view, this thesis aims at giving an intellectual portrait of the 19th century clergy. It is organized around three axis: the first axe aspires to explain the role of books in the construction of ecclesiastical character, as a symbol as well as an object present in priest's day-to-day life. The second axe intends to reconstruct the factors that led clergymen to read, and allow to identify hypothetical intellectual differences in the clergy, so that we may have a better understanding of networks which shaped the clergy's culture. The third axe, this thesis will endeavour to put forward the intellectual references of the clergy, and of their evolution. It aims at understanding clergy's opinions in debates within the abundant and various conflicts of this tumultuous century, and also to have a glimpse at the ecclesiastical personnal tastes. Belonging both to religious History and to the History of libraries, this work wants to appreciate the culture on which is based 19th century Catholicism through the books read, bought and possessed by the clergy

Abstract:
ABSTRACT La legge 20 Maggio 1985 n. 222 della Repubblica Italiana (Disposizioni sugli enti e beni ecclesiastici in Italia e per il sostentamento del clero cattolico in servizio nelle diocesi) contiene una serie di interventi finanziari, diretti ed indiretti, in favore della Chiesa Cattolica. Il favore riconosciuto a tale ordinamento confessionale, che trova la sua base nell’art. 8 della Costituzione, si esplica nella previsione di un regime giuridico parallelo e differente, regolante la costituzione e il trattamento fiscale dei patrimoni ecclesiastici. Quello riferito, può ben essere considerato come l'ultimo tassello di un plurisecolare modo di “risolvere” giuridicamente la reciproca convivenza di un ordinamento statale e di un ordinamento di tipo religioso che, pur rivendicando autonomia di ambito (il religioso), non può tuttavia non regolamentare gli aspetti economici, e più in generale materiali ed esteriori, comunque comportati dalla presenza di una ecclesia in un territorio geo-politico statale. Anche l’ordinamento giuridico romano, a partire da un determinato momento storico, ha cominciato ad interessarsi del fenomeno, per cui sembrerebbe potersi individuare, anche nella legislazione privatistica imperiale, un certo filone di norme specificamente dedicate ai beni ecclesiastici. In particolare, la svolta costantiniana, consacratasi nel 313 d.C. con gli accordi tra Costantino e Licinio e la conseguente produzione del cosiddetto “editto di Milano”, ha, com’è noto, modificato radicalmente la storia dei rapporti tra Impero e Chiesa, ovvero tra Autorità politica e comunità cristiane. Infatti, nei primi anni di storia del cristianesimo non è affatto chiaro come, sotto il profilo giuridico, venissero viste le comunità di cristiani e conseguentemente non è chiaro se tali comunità originarie di cristiani avessero la possibilità di possedere beni, mobili ed immobili. La storiografia del secolo scorso, particolarmente interessata al problema, si è prodigata nella ricerca di una soluzione, senza mai addivenire però a soluzioni unanimi. Le innumerevoli teorie formulate possono essere distinte in tre filoni fondamentali: le teorie che, inquadrando le comunità cristiane nella categoria delle associazioni, ricercano la soluzione in una particolarità di tale legislazione; le teorie che vedono le comunità cristiane come solo “tollerate” dall’Impero romano e quelle che negano l’esistenza della proprietà ecclesiastica. La seconda parte degli accordi di Milano, specificamente dedicati ai cristiani, inaugura, tra l’altro, una nuova legislazione filo-cristiana, che caratterizzerà gran parte della produzione normativa privatistica imperiale. Tale politica ecclesiastica, in qualche modo favorevole ai cristiani, proseguirà nella legislazione costantiniana volta a favorire ed incrementare il patrimonio ecclesiastico, tra cui, ad es., spiccano il disposto di C.Th. 16.2.4 del 321 d.C., che riconosce alle comunità cristiane la legittimazione passiva testamentaria, e, quello di C.Th. 16.2.6 del 329 d.C., in cui Costantino attribuisce ai gestori delle ricchezze della Chiesa l’obbligo di adiuvare pauperes, come necessario corollario dei vari privilegi via via accordati al clero e alle nascenti istituzioni ecclesiastiche. La tesi, sulla base delle fonti (romanistiche) civili ed ecclesiastiche, vorrà approfondire questi aspetti e riguarderà in primo luogo il problema della nascita della cosiddetta proprietà ecclesiastica, ossia l’individuazione del momento a partire dal quale è lecito parlare di un regime giuridico parallelo e differente per i possedimenti ecclesiastici, per analizzare poi, i più significativi provvedimenti costantiniani in proposito. ABSTRACT It is well known that the Constantinian shift, legitimated in 313 a.D. ,with the agreements between Constantin and Licinius, and the subsequent erogation of the “edict of Milan”, radically modified the history between the Empire and the Church (or rather between the political Authority and Christian communities). Indeed it is not clear how Christian communities were seen from a juridic point of view, during the first years of Christian age. Consequently it is not clear if such communities were allowed owning personal or real properties. This work aims at an in-depth analysis of these fields on the basis of civil and ecclesiastic sources. It will give insight into this points specifically referring to the creation of ecclesiastic property. To be more precise this is the identification of the starting point from which is defined a parallel and different juridic system for ecclesiastic properties.

Full text
Abstract:
The Prelude, Chorale and Fantasy is a tonally conceived work for orchestra with a duration of approximately twenty minutes which uses as its inspiration the final chapter of Ecclesiastes. It is constructed from a relatively small number of germinal elements which function throughout the work as connecting forces and icons. In it can be found musical ideas used to represent the Trinity, the most significant of which are the quotations of the hymn "How Brightly Shines the Morning Star" which appear throughout.
A greater understanding of the work can be gained by approaching it first on a philosophical level, making connections between the Biblical text and the music and extrapolating from those connections. Following this, a step by step analysis will show the microscopic structure of the work and its relationship to the larger form.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the interaction between the Kirk’s institutions and the state between the fall of the earl of Arran’s government in 1585 and the full restoration of diocesan episcopacy in 1610. Due to the lack of focussed secondary material, reliance has been placed upon primary sources, especially information from the courts of the Kirk above the parochial level - the presbyteries, synods and the general assembly - on personal correspondence and on governmental and diplomatic sources. The role of the general assembly has been investigated by analyses of its composition and its interaction with the crown. The part played by the presbytery of Edinburgh and its successor as the principal standing committee of the Kirk, the commission of the general assembly, provides a more focussed investigation of the personnel involved in ecclesiastical politics at the highest level. Chapters are also devoted to the synods and the presbyteries, concentrating on how these regional and local courts responded to matters of national significance. Finally, a chapter on the question of ecclesiastical representation in parliament complements the analysis of the institutional framework of the Kirk by demonstrating how opinions on a particular issue were formed and changed by political circumstances. This analysis demonstrates that many of the historiographical constructs which have been placed upon the issue of ecclesiastical politics in the reign of James VI require fundamental reassessment. The idea of factions within the Kirk - ‘Melvillians’ , or ‘Presbyterians’ and ‘episcopalians’ - is misleading and has done much to cloud the true picture. The alternative view presented here suggests that there were, throughout the period, shifting patterns of opposition and obedience to the policy of the crown rather than fixed clerical parties. Opinions remained fluid and were affected by events. Historians have approached the sources with preconceptions concerning the existence of such factions and have thus tried to find what was often not there. It is also demonstrated that there was a crucial difference in royal policy on either side of the regnal union which, along with 1596, should be seen as a turning point. Prior to 1603, James VI had a firm gnp on his ecclesiastical policy as a result of direct personal involvement after 1596. Consequently, he was able to carry out a successful policy based on consensus. After his accession to the English throne, however, the indirect nature of hs contact with ecclesiastical politics caused him to lose that grip. The centralising tendency in government, which had become evident prior to 1603, accelerated and was a major factor in increased clerical opposition to royal policy during the first decade of the seventeenth century. It is, therefore, also asserted here that, contrary to the view of most historians, it was this factor and not the liturgical innovations of the second decade of the seventeenth century which brought about the loss of clerical confidence in the religious policy of James VI.

Takeuchi, Kumiko. "Death and divine judgement in Ecclesiastes." Thesis, Durham University, 2016. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/11382/.

Full text
Abstract:
The current scholarly consensus places Ecclesiastes’ composition in the postexilic era, sometime between the late Persian and early Hellenistic periods, leaning towards the late fourth or early third centuries BCE. Premised on this consensus, this thesis proposes that the book of Ecclesiastes is making a case for posthumous divine judgement in order to rectify pre-mortem injustices. Specifically, this thesis contends that issues relating to death and injustice raised by Qohelet in the book of Ecclesiastes point to the necessity of post-mortem divine judgement. Judging from its implied social and historical context, the book of Ecclesiastes also may have served as perhaps a provocative voice for, or as a catalyst to, the emergence of apocalyptic eschatology and later sectarian conflicts within Judaism during the mid-Second Temple period. Some people in postexilic Israelite society began to raise questions about traditional views of death, Sheol, and divine judgement at a time when retributive justice appears not to be assured or to be absent. One may well ask: what is the book of Ecclesiastes doing, if it appeared on the cusp of the Persian-Hellenistic transition period when the traditional idea of theodicy was perhaps becoming a serious issue in Israelite society, before full-blown apocalyptic eschatology surfaced? The answer seems to be inseparable from questions of how best Ecclesiastes as a book is to be read. Contemporary approaches to reading the book as a unified whole are examined, and a “frame-narrative” reading is argued to be the best approach. The key to unravelling the book’s puzzle lies in realizing that the author probably intended the frame-narrator to have the last say. The role of this “third person” is pivotal for explaining the paradoxes within Qohelet’s monologue and its relationship to the epilogue and uncovering the book’s overall purpose.

Abstract:
This thesis considers the evidence for current assertions that the book of Ecclesiastes is a deterministic work composed during the Hellenistic period. It reviews the linguistic and socioeconomic arguments for its dating either to Persian or Hellenistic times, and concludes in favour of the latter (Chapter 1). An examination of key terms occurring in passages thought to be deterministic follows. The contexts in which these terms are used support the thesis that Qohelet was a determinist, and that this concept is expressed in the catalogue of seasons in 3:1-8 (Chapter 2). Recently, Joseph Blenkinsopp has challenged deterministic readings of 3:1-8 on new grounds: this thesis provides a response to the specific criticisms raised by his article (Chapter 3). Thereafter, it goes on to discuss the question of whether "the work of God" and "the work which is done under the sun" are equivalent, providing fresh evidence is produced to demonstrate that this is indeed the case (Chapter 4), and offering a new explanation as to how Qohelet may have reconciled the concept of determinism with free will (Chapter 5). Thereafter, it considers the activity of God in the sphere of human emotions and concludes that the ultimate decision not just about what human beings do, but about what they feel, rests with God (Chapters 6, 7). Finally, this thesis views the determinism of Ecclesiastes against its Jewish background and possible Stoic sources : it reaches the conclusion that Qohelet's thought and manner of expression is fundamentally Hebraic but that he probably had some knowledge of Stoic determinism as well (Chapters 8, 9). The apparent connection with early Jewish deterministic texts and Stoicism supports the current consensus that the book of Ecclesiastes was composed in the period 250-225 B.C.E.

Full text
Abstract:
The Historia ecclesiastica of Orderic Vitalis is widely regarded as one of the most important examples of Norman historical writing. Written between c.1114 and 1141 at the monastery of Saint-Evroult on the southern frontier of Normandy, its thirteen books have a broad geographic scope, mixing events within the cloister with those taking place in Normandy, England, France, Spain, southern Italy and the Latin East. This thesis examines the question of why Orderic wrote the Historia. It employs close textual analysis to explore the way in which the purpose of the work is reflected in its content. Each of its four chapters focuses on a major part of the narrative. Chapter 1 examines the textual interplay between Saint-Evroult and southern Italy in books III to VII and challenges the notion that Orderic began the work with a narrow geographical horizon which only expanded in the later books. Chapters 2 and 3 are twin chapters on book IX of the Historia, Orderic’s account of the First Crusade. Chapter 2 argues that Orderic punctuated the narrative of book IX, which was based on the Historia Ierosolimitana of Baldric of Bourgueil, with numerous additional passages that deliberately anchored the story in the history of Saint-Evroult. Chapter 3 suggests that book IX was a wholesale reworking of Baldric’s account in which Orderic actively and carefully edited the text in order to ensure that it was suitable for incorporation into the Historia. Chapter 4, the final chapter, examines the effect of the reign of Henry I on Saint-Evroult in the final books of the Historia, books X to XIII. This chapter reveals the ways in which the history of Saint-Evroult and its network of associated houses was interwoven throughout the larger events of the reign of Henry I. It concludes with an examination of the impact of Henry’s death on the final book of the Historia, book XIII, resulting in the burning of the town of Saint-Evroult and instability at the end of Orderic’s life. This analysis reveals the extent to which the Historia ecclesiastica is concerned with the history of Saint-Evroult and its monks, patrons, heroes and enemies. The narrative expands outwards to include important material on distant geographical regions, but it consistently returns to the rich history of the monastery to recount numerous different aspects of its past, indicating that such material constitutes the beating heart of the Historia as a whole.

Christianson, Eric S. "Narrative strategies in the book of Ecclesiastes." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 1996. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/14471/.

Full text
Abstract:
The working premise of this thesis is that the book of Ecclesiastes can be studied with confidence as a narrative text for the purpose of analysis. The first part, then, seeks to flesh out those qualities of the text that are narrative qualities: the presence of events, first-person narration (autobiography in particular), plot and motif. The second part explores the strategy of the frame narrator, who provides a structure that both limits and opens up possibilities for readers. That narrator is in a position of tension in that on the one hand he validates Qoheleth's radicalism by appearing to find his words worth relating. Even words of praise are offered. On the other hand, from the summary of the epilogue, I argue at length, it is clear that the frame narrator did not agree with Qoheleth's approach to wisdom, God and tradition, bound as they were to his wholly different epistemology. Further, the strategy of framing occurs on many levels, and one of its consequences is the bringing into question of the reader's relation to the framed material, as well as the relation of the framer to the one framed. The interpretive possibilities arising from the tension in these narratorial relationships are explored in detail. The third part explores the strategies of Qoheleth, the disillusioned rationalist and story-teller. Here is addressed the fact that in reading Ecclesiastes an interaction seemingly takes place, one in which the reader feels the concern of identity and of the formation of Qoheleth's character. In the guise of Solomon that concern is ironic (almost satirical) and somewhat playful. In the establishment of his self as the central concern of his narrative, Qoheleth shows that although he passionately observes the world's transience and absurdity he desires (again with irony) that his image would be fixed and remembered. After exploring such elements of self-expression, the linguistic characteristics and ideological categories of Qoheleth's quest are surveyed. Included in this investigation are the element of physicality in Qoheleth's language and the identification of the actors in the quest; the Subject, Object and Power (or Sender) in particular. Although I do not categorically argue that Ecclesiastes can only be understood as narrative, the point of the whole is to experiment with what happens when a text is investigated with confidence in its narrative quality. This redresses an interpretive imbalance in Qoheleth-studies in that while there are some scholars who refer vaguely to Ecclesiastes as a story (although usually by implication), and others who make real assumptions about Ecclesiastes' narrative quality, virtually none attempt to critically examine that quality or to demonstrate it with any degree of conclusiveness with the aid of narrative criticism.

Abstract:
The thesis is about the life and works of Giovanni Girolamo Albani (1509-1591), and his ecclesiastical career. It begins with the study of the rise of Albani’s family in the city of Bergamo, and then the analysis of the three books published by Albani on the eve of the Council of Trent, dedicated to the defence of papal authority. Then, it examines the reasons of Albani’s cardinal promotion in 1570, especially the aid he gave in the 1536 and 1551 to the inquisition in Bergamo. Therefore, the thesis tries to retrace his curial activity from 1569 to 1591, with a special attention to the conclaves and to the strategies of the factions of cardinals. A chapter focuses on a group of letters, written from 1578 to 1587 by some familiares of the cardinal, which offers an interpretation some prophecies that foresee the imminent death of the pope, nurturing among Albani’s entourage the desire to see their master elected.
La tesi ripercorre la biografia di Giovanni Girolamo Albani (1509-1591) e la carriera ecclesiastica di cui fu protagonista. Dalla ricostruzione dell’ascesa famigliare nel contesto cittadino di Bergamo si passa all’analisi della triade di opere che il giurista scrisse alla vigilia della stagione tridentina, dedicate alla difesa dell’autorità papale e alla controversia antiluterana. In seguito, si ricostruiscono le occasioni che nel 1570 portarono l’Albani a essere nominato cardinale, tentando poi l’esame degli incarichi a cui fu chiamato durante gli anni trascorsi al servizio del papato. Un’attenzione particolare è rivolta all’analisi delle fazioni cardinalizie dell’epoca, e alle strategie adottate nei conclavi a cui l’Albani partecipò, risultando almeno in un’occasione un candidato plausibile. Un capitolo è dedicato allo studio di un carteggio dove sono discusse delle profezie che annuncerebbero l’elevazione al soglio petrino del cardinale bergamasco.

O objetivo deste trabalho é refletir sobre a natureza da Ação Católica Brasileira (ACB) e a conformação dos seus arquivos. A ACB desenvolveu-se entre os anos 1935 e 1966, calcada no projeto de conversão católica da sociedade. Baseada no método indutivo e no cotejo das fontes, a pesquisa debruçou-se sobre as obras religiosas e jurídicas que circularam entre os militantes e sacerdotes, além dos próprios documentos da Ação Católica Brasileira e das diferentes instituições envolvidas na custódia dos arquivos do movimento. Como resultados, a tese apresenta as particularidades da natureza e da institucionalidade da associação e nuances das relações estabelecidas entre leigos e sacerdotes ao longo de sua história. Igualmente desvela como o projeto fundante da ACB e as transformações pelas quais passou impactaram na produção e acumulação documental da associação. Por fim, pondera a respeito dos preceitos religiosos e das circunstâncias históricas que reverberaram no destino final e na apropriação do espólio documental por parte de diferentes custodiadores vinculados à Igreja Católica.
This study aims to reflect upon the nature of the Catholic Action in Brazil (ACB) and the configuration of its archives. The Catholic Action in Brazil was developed between 1935 and 1966, grounded in the project for society catholic conversion. Based on the inductive method and the comparison of sources, the research focused on the religious and legal works that circulated among militants and priests as well as on the Catholic Actions own documents and documents from different institutions involved in the custody of the movement´s archives. The thesis presents the peculiarities of the association nature and institutionality as well as the nuances in the relations established between laypeople and priests throughout history. It also reveals how the Catholic Action founding project and the transformations it has been through have impacted on the production and documental accumulation of the association. Finally, it ponders over the religious precepts and the historical circumstances that reverberated through the final destination and in the ownership of the documental legacy on the part of the different custodians attached to the Catholic Church.

Abstract:
The Ecclesiastical History is the primary historical source of the Christian Church in the pre-Constantinian era. The History narrates the nature and work of Christ, the highlights of the apostolic age and the advancement of the Christian Church in the Roman Empire up to the principate of Constantine. Investigating the Ecclesiastical History using a quantitative method reveals Eusebius' preoccupation with the office of the bishop. There is almost no subject that Eusebius addresses that does not reflect his portrayal of the bishop's influence and universal presence. This thesis demonstrates the high status and undisputed authority of the episcopate as presented by Eusebius of Caesarea. The research of this thesis contributes to an understanding of the bishop in Roman society before Imperial favour.

Full text
Abstract:
So far only a limited number of biblical books in Church Slavonic has been studied and edited, and the book of Ecclesiastes does not feature among these. Ecclesiastes is not a mainstream book such as the Gospels and the Psalter but rather a peripheral biblical text never used in Eastern Orthodox liturgical services. Its late date and small number of witnesses, which also reflect its marginal status, are additional reasons why this particular book has not attracted much scholarly attention in the past. This thesis is intended to contribute to studies in the history of the Church Slavonic Bible by editing the unpublished text of Ecclesiastes including its catenary versions and discussing its textual tradition. Ecclesiastes surfaces as a complete text relatively late: the earliest extant Cyrillic manuscripts are from the 15th century. Such a late date may be an indication that there was no pressing need for translating the non-liturgical book of Ecclesiastes. Two Church Slavonic translations of Ecclesiastes are extant: one, attested in Cyrillic manuscripts, survives in three distinct types: a continuous version of the text (32 manuscripts of the 15th-17th centuries), a fragmentary commentated version (1 manuscript of the 16th century), a fragmentary commentated insertion (8 manuscripts of the 15th-16th centuries). The other translation is a Croatian Church Slavonic version in Glagolitic breviaries (17 manuscripts of the 13th-16th centuries). The structure of the thesis is determined by the nature of the subject, which deals with textual criticism. The chapters are organised into a series of sections which all have headings. This somewhat 'atomistic' approach is necessitated by the fact that we are faced with fragmentary and incomplete evidence of manuscript sources, and therefore only detailed examination and comparison of various manuscripts and versions of the text will enable us to solve, at least in part, the textual history of the book in question. The limitations of the present study are the scarcity of manuscripts and the lateness of the tradition. These, however, are familiar 'obstacles' recognised by Slavists working on similar subjects. The thesis consists of an introduction, which presents a brief historical outline of the Church Slavonic biblical translations, 4 chapters, conclusion, bibliography and 2 appendices: the first of these contains a variorum edition of the continuous text of Ecclesiastes; the second, the parallel texts from continuous, commentated and interpolated versions. Chapter 1 gives a list of all the extant manuscripts of Ecclesiastes with short descriptions including dating (on palaeographical grounds), and investigates the textual relationships between various groups of manuscripts using the classical method of textual criticism and stemmatics. This leads on to a discussion of the type of edition to be used. At the end of the chapter a stemma codicum is constructed. Analysis of the language is carried out in an attempt to date the translation on linguistic grounds. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the Greek and Slavonic catena and explores some of the key issues arising out of the existence of several versions and early fragments of Ecclesiastes. It deals with problems concerning the date and place of the translation of Ecclesiastes. Detailed analysis sheds some light on the textual peculiarities of the three versions: commentated, interpolated and continuous. The complex interrelationship between these three versions is investigated further and a comparison with the earlier extant fragments of the catena is also carried out. Chapter 3 deals with the quotations from Ecclesiastes in early translated texts and in original Old Russian literature. Quotations found in medieval Slavonic texts, both translated and original, appear to be independent of the translation of continuous Ecclesiastes known from manuscripts of around the 15th century. However, the quotations prove that parts of Ecclesiastes were known in some form of exegetical compilations. Chapter 4 investigates the translation of Ecclesiastes in the Croatian Church Slavonic breviary tradition. It examines claims made by scholars in the past and present with regards to its authorship and to the language of the source from which this text was translated. The conclusion is drawn that the text was translated purely from Latin. This conclusion is based on a number of findings: errors of translation, divergences in wording and grammatical forms between the Croat Glagolitic and Cyrillic Church Slavonic texts, and certain syntactical constructions such as periphrastic expressions for the future, which point unambiguously to a Latin original. In addition the date of the translation is placed roughly between the 12th and the 13th centuries. The conclusions summarize the findings of the study: textual analysis of the continuous text of Ecclesiastes indicates that all the extant Cyrillic manuscripts come from a single translation; this translation was made at some time between the 10th century and the beginning of the 15th century. Commmentated and interpolated versions should be treated as redactions deriving from a fuller catena. This fuller catena may have given rise to the continuous text through the removal of the commentary. Alternatively, the orginal plain text may have been added to the newly translated commentary to produce a commentated version. Bearing in mind that it is hard to decide conclusively between these possibilities, the difficulties of reconstructing archetypes of the plain text and the commentary are shown. The investigation of the text in the Croatian tradition demonstrates that the translation in the breviaries was made from Latin, and thereby eliminates the hypothesis that Methodius was the translator of this version. GB is chosen as a base text for the edition in Appendix 1. The main reason for doing so is pragmatic, for it offers as complete a text as is available to us. Besides, the availability of information on the cultural and historical circumstances surrounding the production of GB, in addition to its importance for the history of the East Slavonic biblical tradition makes it more worthwhile. By publishing the text from manuscript Sinodal'nyj 915 (GB) with a critical apparatus, supplying variants from other manuscripts, the editorial 'control' which the compilers of GB exercised while working with the text translated from Greek is illustrated. They appear to have compared their exemplar with another Slavonic witness to fill a lacuna in the middle of the text, and they shortened the interpolation by removing the commentary. It seems that they deliberately left the biblical verses in the interpolation intact. The textual evidence does not support the supposition that the compilers of GB collated their text of Ecclesiastes with any Greek or Latin sources. The choice of GB for the edition constitutes a significant step towards wider research into and eventual publication of the Gennadian Bible, which has received little attention hitherto, despite its significance as the first complete Church Slavonic Bible. In appendix 2 three versions of Ecclesiastes are presented in a tabular form: the continuous version is taken from the manuscript Sinodal'nyj 915 (GB), the commentated version from the manuscript Undol'skij 13, and the interpolated version from the manuscript Pogodinskij 1 with variant readings from the manuscripts of group 1. In the thesis several new findings are presented. These are: the absence of any link between the versions of Ecclesiastes in the Cyrillic and in the Glagolitic manuscripts, and the implausibility of a Methodian origin for the Croatian Church Slavonic text.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the evidence for the parochial layout of Wiltshire in the Anglo-Saxon period, and through a detailed examination of surviving sources reconstructs a network of minsters and their parochiae for much of Wiltshire. Extensive case-studies of certain areas both emphasise the potential difficulties of interpretation when undertaking such reconstruction, and reinforce the main tenets of the `minter hypothesis'. Evidence for connections with the secular administrative pattern is so strong as to indicate a late Saxon system of `hundred minsters', but there is sufficient reason to suggest that this system was subject to alteration prior to 1086, in association with administrative adjustments and the growth of secular and ecclesiastical estates. These conclusions are reinforced by further discussion of lesser churches of Anglo-Saxon Wiltshire, some of which made significant local contributions to the late Saxon parochial layout. Comparison with case studies from other parts of the south suggests that the conclusions of this study have a general validity for the development of ecclesiastical organisation throughout Wessex.

Abstract:
Due to the continued success of the architectural practice of Gillespie, Kidd & Coia (1927-87) over many decades of the twentieth century, this study provides an important opportunity to examine building designs shaped by a number of its contributors. Giacomo Antonio Coia (1898-1981), more usually known simply as Jack Coia, winner of the 1969 RIBA Royal Gold Medal, became its principal practitioner following the death of his partner, William Kidd (1879-1929). Many individuals passed through the practice doors, some simply as apprentices, while others would graduate to the level of architectural assistant, and a small number would eventually become partners in the firm. The practice created an array of interesting and sometimes experimental work for a number of institutions (they undertook few private commissions for individual clients). Foremost was their work for the Roman Catholic Church, the engagement of which ensured a rich source of commissions until Coia’s retirement in 1976. In recent years, we have been taught of the contributions of individual members of the practice, and to the significance of its final experimental phase of church building. However, the ecclesiastical designs of Gillespie, Kidd & Coia provide a vehicle for the study of the way in which a single practice could respond to a rapidly changing twentieth century landscape of architectural theory and practice, liturgical narrative and societal and demographic upheaval and transition. This was due not least to the continued presence of ecclesiastical commissions from the early phase of practice, the firm’s survival of the vicissitudes of war, and to its subsequent re-emergence and burgeoning success. This thesis suggests an alternative view to the separation of the practice’s chronological history and personnel. Instead, it proposes that through measured analysis, it is possible to understand the rich and varied ecclesiastical compositions of Gillespie, Kidd & Coia as a complete body of work, and to demonstrate that in linking their later schemes with those that came earlier, their work has international significance and parallels.

Abstract:
Bibliography: pages 135-137.
The book of Ecclesiastes or Kohelet, using its Hebrew title is one of the Five Megilloth (Scrolls). This Biblical book characterizes life as utter futility like "shepherding" or "chasing the wind". Throughout the book one encounters teachings that stand in considerable tension with each other. For example in 7:3 Kohelet states: "Anger is better than happiness" while later in 8: 15 he writes: "I praised Happiness: In 7: 1 he says: "Better the day of one's death than the day one is born'; while in 11: 7 he states: "Light is sweet and good for the eyes so as 'to see the sun". Contradictions such as these are found throughout the book. The following study of Kohelet will attempt to analyze.previous studies of the book which have offered ways of interpreting these contradictions. Several responses have commended themselves to interpreters. Some see the author of Kohelet as citing traditional wisdom and then refuting it. Others see the book as reflecting a single author's changing viewpoints over the years as well as life's ambiguities. Some understand Kohelet as a book written by one author while later editors added their viewpoints.
