Cerrando un programa iconográfico. Las hijas de Job en la Capilla de la Virgen de Guadalupe en las Descalzas Reales de Madrid
2020
ABSTRACT: The Chapel of the Virgin of Guadalupe, located in the Monastery of the Royal Discalced Nuns of Madrid, features a complex iconographical program, with the Virgin and the strong women of the Old Testament as its protagonists. This program was executed by the artist Sebastián Herrera Barnuevo, and designed by one of its resident nuns, Sister Ana Dorotea de Austria. This article attempt to shed light an a rather uncommon feminine typology: that of the daughters of Job, Jemima and Keren-happuch by means of the study of the principal literary sources where they are mentioned. By this means I will offer a complete reading of the Chapel’s iconographical program, by establishing the relat…
The Decline of the Shepherd Metaphor as Royal Self-Expression1
2019
In the Old Testament, shepherd is a common metaphor of kingship, and this metaphor is sometimes also used to denote the Israelite god as a ruler (See for instance HALOT entry הער ). In Assyrian, Ba...
New Testament Christology in its Hellenistic Reception
2001
This survey provides a sort of ‘counterpoint’ to the way in which the history of research has actually gone. In reaction to the ‘Religionsgeschichtliche Schule’, nowadays the Jewish origins of NT Christology are usually pointed out. But when we pay attention to its ‘reception’ in Greco-Roman culture, some of the old findings may still prove useful. This article seeks to check this, taking into account especially the alternative models of explanation offered by the ‘New Religionsgeschichtliche Schule’.

Chaoskampf in the orthodox baptism ritual
2018
The present article analyses the occurrence of the Chaoskampf motif in the Orthodox Baptism ritual and its biblical and Near-Eastern backgrounds. Such statements are direct references to Old and New Testament texts in which water has negative connotations, being associated with hostile or chaotic aspects of existence. In the baptismal interpretation of the biblical motif, sea, depths and dragons are figurative names for demons. The liturgical reinterpretation of these biblical references is the preamble of the baptismal exorcisms. Biblical texts about the struggle against chaos were included in the ritual in order to illustrate Christ's supremacy over all hostile forces subduing man before …
The Concept of Story and Theological Discourse
1976
Biblical scholars and theologians have sometimes suggested that the concept of story or narration may be used to avoid or even resolve certain long-standing problems in theology. The context of such a suggestion appears to be not only the gradual filtering of ideas from the social sciences into theological awareness but also a much improved understanding of the nature and transmission of the biblical traditions. For instance, literary criticism had tried to tell the story of the making of the Bible as a story of writing and editing. With its analytic interest, form criticism penetrated deeper, concentrating on the crucial role of oral tradition and on the power of communities to shape certa…
La dimensión hermenéutica de la afectividad en las primeras lecciones de Martin Heidegger
2018
Este trabajo se centra en el papel que juega la afectividad en la conocida como transformación hermenéutica de la fenomenología llevada a cabo por el joven Martin Heidegger. Tras establecer en la introducción la estrecha vinculación que existe entre la afectividad y la facticidad, tomo como hilo conductor la noción de movilidad (Bewegtheit) de la vida fáctica. En un primer momento explico la peculiar significación que adquiere este término en la filosofía del joven Heidegger. En segundo lugar me detengo a analizar la doble “movilidad fundamental” (Grundbewegtheit) del amor y el odio como la matriz intencional del curare (Bekümmerung) en la interpretación heideggeriana de las Confesiones de …
Zarys biblijno-teologicznego rozwoju poznania tajemnicy trynitarnej
2015
Rozpoznawanie tajemnicy Trójcy Osób Świętych dokonywało się przez wieki i przechodziło różne koleje dociekań ludzkiego rozumu. Na początku niniejszej refleksji zostały ukazane wysiłki ludzkiego rozumu i wiary, których ślady możemy odnaleźć już w księgach Starego, a potem Nowego Testamentu. Kontynuację tych starań podjęli Ojcowie Kościoła, następnie sobory i całe Magisterium, aż do czasów nam współczesnych (m.in. H. Mühlen), kiedy to próbowano odnajdywać istotne wskazania dla wspólnoty małżeńskiej wynikające z prawd odkrywanych dzięki Trójjedynemu.
Virgins in the wild: mating status affects the behavior of a parasitoid foraging in the field
2008
In haplodiploid organisms, virgin females can produce offspring, albeit only sons. They may therefore face a trade-off between either: (1) searching for hosts and producing sons immediately; or (2) searching for mates and perhaps producing both sons and daughters later in life. Although this trade-off raises a theoretical interest, it has not been approached experimentally. The objective of this article is thus to document the effect of mating status on the foraging behavior of a haplodiploid parasitoid. For this, we recorded the behavior of virgin and mated female Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) after being released, in the field, on a colony of their aphid hosts. Half of…

2006
Nel saggio si delinea la parabola della vita di Matteo Sclafani, conte di Adernò, seguendo il mutare delle sue volontà testamentarie, dall'ascesa ai vertici della società siciliana del Trecento all'espulsione dall'amata Palermo, dalla formazione di un vasto patrimonio al sequestro dei beni, dall'ambizione di vedere perpetuati nome e insegne familiari alla vanificazione del suo desiderio.
