Aqua Mater: On the Meaning of the Theonym Betatun

2021

La aparición en el entorno del santuario tardoibérico de Las Atalayuelas (Fuerte del Rey – Torredelcampo, Jaén) de una inscripción en la que se documenta el teónimo ibérico Betatun abre nuevas perspectivas en el estudio de la religión ibérica. Con el presente artículo intentamos demostrar que en el nombre de la divinidad está implícito un elemento común que lo relacionaría con una serie de topónimos e hidrónimos, tanto antiguos como modernos, y que no es otro que el agua. The finding of an inscription containing the Iberian theonym Betatun in the surrounding area of the Late Iberian sanctuary in Las Atalayuelas site (Fuerte del Rey – Torredelcampo, Jaén) opens up new perspectives for the st…

Two sorts of natural theology

2018

Usually, natural theology is understood as the project of providing arguments for the existence of God. This project is endorsed by Moreland and Craig. McGrath, on the other hand, says that this project fails. In the first part of this article, I show how McGrath’s dismissal of arguments for the existence of God follows from his view of natural theology. In the second part, I argue that McGrath’s natural theology contains an accurate critique of Moreland and Craig’s way of doing natural theology, a critique that exposes two major problems in their treatment of the moral argument for the existence of God. In the third part, I propose a way of providing arguments for the existence of God that…

Barbara Godard, a Translator's Portrait: Analysing the Reception of Québec's Roman au Féminin (1960-1990) in Anglophone Canada

2021

The current dissertation is not only concerned with nourishing the Feminist Translation Studies field with an interdisciplinary perspective into Feminist Translator History. It strives for an understanding of Translation Studies, and Feminist Translation Studies in this particular case, as a cross-disciplinary space where the aims of various disciplines may converge (see Castro 2012). In the particular space of Feminist Translation/Translator History, and in line with Rundle's proposed synergies between Translation Studies and History (2014), the limitations of the so-called "discursive turn" in Feminist History" (Canning 1994) which, despite showing interest in how ideologies operate via h…

Disclosure to God as a Mediator Between Private Prayer and Psychological Well-Being in a Christian Sample.

2021

AbstractAlthough a number of studies have reported the psychological and physical benefits of prayer, only a few have examined the means by which prayer affects health. Winkeljohn Black et al. (J Relig Health 54(2):540–553, 2015. 10.1007/s10943-014-9840-4) found disclosure to God as a mediator in the relationship between prayer and mental health. In their study, the authors used Poloma and Pendleton’s (Rev Relig Res 31(1):46–53, 1989. https://doi.org/10.2307/3511023, ) model of prayer. This study examined whether disclosure to God as a mediator can be upheld with Laird et al.’s (Int J Psychol Relig 14(4):251–272, 2004) prayer model. The study included 285 Polish adults (50.2% of women), age…

The Religion of Ammon

2015

The Ammonites, a people living east of the Jordan River, were neighbors of the ancient Israelites. The Old Testament (1 Kings, 11,5; 2 Kings, 23,13) and probably an inscription from the citadel of Amman mention Milkom as the supreme God of the Ammonites. Most Ammonite names did not contain the name of their national god, but used a more generic divine name, ’El. We don’t know if the name: ’El refers to the Canaanite god or to a local manifestation of this deity. Ammonites also worshiped other deities (i.e. ‘Astarte, ‘Anat, Ba‘al, Hadad/’Adad, Qos, Samas, YHWH and Yerah). A number of limestone statues and clay figurines of bearded individuals wearing an atef-crown could be Ammonite monarchs …

NOTES ON A STATUE FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF UNION FROM ALBA IULIA

2016

This study proposes to re-evaluate a marble statue from the old collections of the National Museum of Union Alba Iulia. It was discovered by A. Cserni during excavations carried out at the Palace of the Governors of Roman Dacia, in 1898. It has been repeatedly published by Á. Hekler and Al. Diaconescu. While the latter author established dating and iconographic prototype of the statue, we believe that further details as discovery place and context, depiction, iconographic attribution and role of this work of art can be offered. Presence of a follower at the feet of the divinity, more precisely the right foot of a character – child, conveys us the idea of depiction of Eros, god of love. Usua…

Miłosierdzie jako istotna kategoria pedagogiki katolickiej

2017

Mercy - an important category of Catholic pedagogy God is the One who is present, close, holy, and merciful. An important task of every Christian is to recognise the merciful look of Jesus Christ. He is the only hope for sinful people. Mercy is the bridge that connects God and man, opening our hearts to the hope of being loved forever despite our sinfulness. Mercy is the fundamental idea of Catholic pedagogy: every Christian is called to show mercy because mercy has first been shown to him. Pardoning offences becomes the clearest expression of merciful love, and for the Christians it is an imperative from which we cannot excuse oursełves. Jesus made mercy an ideał of life and a criterion fo…

I diritti di godimento tra legge e contratto

2013

I rapporti giuridici in cui il potere o la facoltà di godere di un bene materiale o immateriale, ovvero di un servizio, costituisce il contenuto di un diritto attribuito a un soggetto o a una pluralità di soggetti presentano nella realtà economica-sociale del tempo attuale una varietà di interessi e di rimedi. Nel presente saggio vengono in particolare esaminati il Trust, il pegno, la multiproprietà, la funzione dei beni comuni, mettendone in evidenza i tratti riconducibili a una categoria tendenzialmente unitaria, pur se flessibile, di diritti di godimento. La ricostruzione compiuta mostra come la tradizionale classificazione di tali diritti in termini alternativi tra diritti assoluti e di…
