The Text of the Lord’s Prayer in Marcion’s Gospel
2012
In text-critical studies of the Lukan version of the Lord’s Prayer (Lk 11,2-4), one of the most interesting, and at the same time most problematic, witnesses is Marcion’s Gospel. Scholarship for much of the twentieth century has generally followed the reconstruction of Adolf von Harnack in his magisterial work on Marcion: ... πάτeρ, (έλθάτω) τό άγιον πνeύμα (σου έφ’ ή μας και καθαρισάτω ημάς)* έλθάτω ή βασιλeία σου* τον άρτον σου τον έπιούσιον δίδου ήμίν τό καθ’ ημέραν, (και) άφeς ήμιν τάς άμαρτίας (ήμών) ... (και) μή άφeς ημάς eίσeνeχθήναι eις πeιρασμόν.1 As a result, it has more or less been assumed that this was the wording of the Lord’s Prayer in Marcion’s text.2 A major problem with th…
Belief in God, Confidence in the Church and Secularization in Scandinavia
2021
We used the three latest rounds of the religion module of International Social Survey Programme to study secularization in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, focusing on belief in God. We restricted our sample to the affiliated with the majority Protestant churches and the unaffiliated and analyzed the trends toward disaffiliation and disbelief in God. Then, we studied the association between confidence in churches, religious/secular upbringing, and demographic controls with belief in God using multinomial logistic regression models. Our treatment of belief in God as a nominal variable allowed the inclusion of both the element of doubt and different images of God in the analyses. The trends towar…

Modeling the Effects of Religious Belief and Affiliation on Prosociality
2021
To what extent do supernatural beliefs, group affiliation, and social interaction produce values and behaviors that benefit others, i.e., 'prosociality'? Addressing this question involves multiple variables interacting within complex social networks that shape and constrain the beliefs and behaviors of individuals. We examine the relationships among some of these factors utilizing data from the World Values Survey to inform the construction of an Agent-Based Model. The latter was able to identify the conditions under which – and the mechanisms by which – the prosociality of simulated agents was increased or decreased within an “artificial society” designed to reflect real world parameters. …
The Problem of Displaced Jews and the Holocaust
2011
So far we have discussed how the Holocaust was portrayed as part of the discourse on the liberation of the camps and the Nuremberg Trial. The last part of this book takes on a theme that runs parallel to, sometimes converging with, the ‘Nuremberg interregnum’. As Suomen Kuvalehti pointed out in 1945: ‘The Nazi war of extermination against the Jews did not resolve the Jewish question. On the contrary, the persecution has made the agenda more complicated than ever before.’1 Therefore, an examination of the press discourse on Jewish Displaced Persons (DPs), the creation of Israel and the emergence of the Cold War is necessary. However, it makes sense to deal with these topics separately in ord…
La Riforma in Inghilterra: Elisabetta e i 39 Articoli di religione della Chiesa Anglicana
2019
The aim of this article is to underline the doctrinal peculiarities of Anglicanism through examination of the 39 Articles of religion. Unlike other coeval protestant confessions of faith, the genesis of the 39 Articles was eminently dictated by political reasons, that is to say the reinforcement of the English monarchy through the pursuit of religious unity in the Country
Profanación de los cuerpos muertos femeninos
2021
En la historia del arte y de la cultura visual aparecen cuerpos muertos femeninos, habitualmente remarcando su belleza y juventud, sobre los que se ejerce una serie de consideraciones bien distintas a las que merecen los muertos masculinos. Entre ellas la curiosidad científica, el erotismo o la atracción convergen para justificar la exhibición y contemplación de las muertas femeninas. Paralelamente, el imaginario literario ha alimentado mitos sobre el poder que procesaban dichos cuerpos fenecidos en los varones, recalando con el tiempo en los medios de comunicación de masas, especialmente en el cine. Otra vertiente que considerar ha sido la proliferación de fotografías post mortem en donde …

Calvin et la politique du martyre
2008
Dans les années 1550, Calvin doit réagir face aux persécutions qu’endurent ses coreligionnaires français. Doit-il inviter les fidèles à se soumettre, quitte à ce qu’ils dissimulent leur foi, au nom de l’obéissance à l’autorité civile ou au contraire à se rebeller en vertu de la souveraineté exclusive du Seigneur ? Il tranche par la valorisation du martyre, très présent dans sa correspondance privée et publique. Le martyre s’avère, en effet, un outil spirituel pour contrôler les communautés naissantes et un outil politique pour instiller la subversion dans une stratégie demeurant légaliste à l’égard de Henri II. Cette «prudence» excède ainsi la résistance passive par la célébration des héro…
