Wednesday, March 24, 2010. Binding the Strong Man, 1A. Binding the Strong Man: A Political Reading of Mark's Story of Jesus. Part One: Text and Context. Chapter One: A Reading Site and Strategy for Mark. Section A: Why a Political Reading? He starts with two central facts: he comes from North America, from a place of relative privilege, which he describes as an imperial context. Thus, while Mark writes from a peripheral place, Myers is writing from the center. Judging that Mark will call us to di...Myers...

Thursday, September 28, 2006. St Isaiah the Solitary 10. St Isaiah the Solitary, On Guarding the Intellect,. 10 If your intellect is freed from all its enemies and attains the sabbath rest, it lives in another age, a new age in which it contemplates things new and undecaying. For “wherever the dead body is, there will the eagles be gathered together.”. The truth, the intellect is now in possession. To be possessed by. The spiritual life is so often likened to a journey these days, but here St. Isaiah...

Reloquus: November 2007

Saturday, November 17, 2007. On the Use and Interpretation of Scripture: Private Prayer. Having completed my discussion of the use and interpretation of Scripture in liturgical contexts, I can turn to the remainder of the topic, beginning first with private prayer. A particular famous and important use of the Scriptures in private prayer is of course the practice known as sacred reading, or in Latin, lectio divina. Way to read a text, rather than merely one, that it was what it is to read a sacred text.

Chapter One: A Reading Site and Strategy for Mark. Section B: Why Mark?

Answer that question, and instead answers a separate question. Discuss the way in which the choice of text.

Thursday, February 22, 2007. On the Use and Interpretation of Scripture: Homiletics. One of the primary means of using Scripture in the liturgy, after the reading of it, is preaching based upon it. The primary role of the liturgy is thus underscored not only by reading it in liturgy, but in regularly commenting on it in the context of the liturgy. This is then the primary means by which the Scripture is commented on in the Church. But it is specifically liturgical. There is no question, therefore, of giv...
