Title: Fermenti e problemi delle donne nella Chiesa Oggi
Abstract: Cerchero di trattare l'argomento seguendo un taglio socio-antropologico premcttendo che il presente saggio si comprende meglio a partire dal testo di cui ho sviluppato le riflessioni sulla cultura della differenza, facendo il punto sui femminismo contemporaneo: Uguaglianza e differellza. La reciprocita llomo donna (Citta nuova; Roma 1988).1990-01-01T00:00:00ZThe evolution of the conciliar texts regarding the Muslims

Title: The evolution of the conciliar texts regarding the Muslims
Abstract: When the Council Fathers met for the Third Session, September 1964, they had before them two draft statements dealing with Islam and the Muslims. One was very brief and was contained in a single sentence inserted in the chapter on "The People of God" and prepared by the commission entrusted with the schema de Ecclesia. The other constituted the second paragraph of the "Second Declaration" annexed to the schema de Oecumenismo. The first draft was presented and modified during the first part of the Third Session to be approved during the same session. The second draft also underwent various amendations during the tense debates and events which took place in connection with the highly controversial issues related to the question of the Jews, during the Third Session and the following Intersession to be, in turn, approved in the Fourth and final Session of the Council.1990-01-01T00:00:00ZHebrews 11 : an interpretation

Title: Hebrews 11 : an interpretation
Abstract: The overriding tendency for an exegete of the Epistle to the Hebrews on entering into Chapter 11 is to play it straight. True, there are problems with this approach. But then almost everywhere one looks in Hebrews there are problems. True, the first three verses have complicated terminology - pistis, hypostasis, elenchos - and complicated imagery - "things not seen", "things invisible", "completing the aeons". But the overall meaning seems clear enough. True, some Old Testament people are mentioned but not others - why is Jephthah singled out, for example? But the author should be indulged an occasional idiosyncrasy. True, there is the occasional odd textual reading - where on earth, for example, did the best -attested text for v.11 come from, which has Sarah portrayed sexually in terms of a male? But this is clearly a scribal aberration; a slight correction will put things in order.1990-01-01T00:00:00Z
