Semantics and Ideology During the Renaissance: Confessional Translations of the Greek Word ἐπίσκοπος
During the sixteenth century the disputes between Catholics and
Protestants became the battleground to determine and shape
authentic Christianity and the Church. Humanism played a key
role in this process conditioned by cultural and theological
diversity, justifying doctrinal positions and legitimizing the
existence of respective institutions with an appeal to history.
Translations from church historical sources illustrate how they
often derived from theological preconceptions. Starting with the
‘episcopacy issue’ opened initially by Luther and Calvin inter al.,
this article analyzes the translations of the Greek word episkopos
in the Magdeburg Centuries, Cesare Baronio’s Ecclesiastical Annals,
in contemporary vernacular versions of Eusebius’s Ecclesiastical
History, in J. C. Dietrich’s Lexicon and in some English Bibles. The
material gathered and also compared with the position of the
Council of Trent shows how these confessionally conditioned
translations impacted on the scholarly world, and how they
influenced church law with religio-political consequences, thereby
having a striking significance
Mapping the absence : A theological critique of posthumanist influences in marketing and consumer research
In this study, we critically examine the ongoing adoption of various posthumanist influences into the fields of marketing and consumer research from a theological perspective. By conducting a theological-historical assessment, we propose that it is not posthuman notions of human/technology relations, nor their broader context in the emerging non-representational paradigms, that mark radically new disruptions in the continuing restructuring of the disciplines of marketing and consumer research. Instead, we argue that what is taking place is an implicit adherence to a contemporary form of age-old Christian dogma. As a radical conjecture, we thus propose that an identification of certain similarities between Christian dogma and the grounds for various posthumanist frameworks suggest that posthuman thought may well herald the global dissemination of a far more elusive, authoritarian, and hegemonic system than that which posthumanists typically claim to have abandoned. Consequently, we elaborate on implications to developments in marketing thought.Peer reviewe
