Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Toronto, 2005. XIV,242p. Original brown gilt stamped cloth. Series: Studies and Texts, 150. ?Paul Rorem is one of those experts whose detailed scholarship has yielded much knowledge about theology in the late patristic period. (?) the current study is on an excruciatingly difficult and…technical medieval topic. While the works of the Carolingian thinker Johannes Scottus Eriugena (810-77 CE) are sufficiently difficult, his expositions (?) is perhaps even harder to analyse. Due to a limited knowledge of Greek, Eriugena did not always seem to understand what Dionysius was saying. Nevertheless, he insisted on providing his own translations of Dionysius, as well as of Gregory of Nyssa and Maximus Confessor. He thereby became an important bridge between the theological culture of East and West. (?) Rorem?s present work is located at the crossroads of Dionysian and Eriugenian scholarship. (?) Rorem highlights (?) Eurigena?s own creative interpretation - and intellectual transformation - of Dionysus. To this end he makes repeated excursions into Eriugena?s other works. As a result we now get a much more complete, although not necessarily any less complex, view of the dissemination of the Eastern tradition in the West. (?) Chapters 5-7 summarized various doctrinal aspects of Eriugena?s thought (?), pointing out Dionysian influence in the Irishman?s elaboration of them. These chapters are among the most rewarding, as they bring an added subtlety to the analysis of key Eriugenian themes (creation, apophasis, and theophany), enriching our insight into Eriugena?s own thought through a deeper understanding of the Dionysian heritage. The fact that Eriugena applies ?Nihil? as a name to god in the Periphyseon (?) takes Dionysian practice a crucial step further, thereby preparing the way for Eckhart and other mystics. (?) for Rorem, Eriugena generally sticks to the Eastern theological pattern whereby it is held that God became human so that humanity could become divine, but here the Dionysian heritage may not say all there is to say.? (WILLEMIEN OTTEN in The Journal of Religion, 2006, pp.474-75).

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that e…ncompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
