Toucher Jésus le Ressuscité : Marie de Magdala et Thomas le Jumeau en Jean 20

Cet article s’intéresse au rôle que joue la corporéité de Jésus dans sa relation avec les disciples après la résurrection. À travers l’étude de Jn 20, notamment les commandements contradictoires que Jésus adresse à Marie de Magdala (20,11-18) et à Thomas (20,24-29), il propose de comprendre que la résurrection n’est pas physique mais qu’elle est corporelle. Le corps du Ressuscité continuerait ainsi de médiatiser sa relation aux disciples, d’une façon qui est à la fois en continuité et en discontinuité avec la manière dont il le faisait durant sa carrière prépascale.This paper focuses on the role played by Jesus’ corporality in his relationship to the disciples after the resurrection. Through the study of Jn 20, especially the conflicting commandments given to Mary Magdalene (20,11-18) and Thomas (20,24-29), it is suggested that the resurrection is not to be understood physically, though it is bodily. Thus, the body of the Resurrected is still mediating his relationship with his disciples, but in a way that is both continuous and discontinuous with the way it did in his pre-Easter career

With Oil in Their Lamps: Faith, Feminism, and the Future

I am going to suggest that the culminating contribution of the second millennium, the defining characteristic of the twentieth century, and the most important source of energy for the immediate future is the emergence of women, the beginning of the recognition of the full personhood of half the human family , writes Sandra Schneiders in the introduction to the 2000 Madeleva Lecture, a series that has been as groundbreaking as it has been thought provoking. Writing with her characteristic clarity, foresightedness and intelligence, the author examines some of the deeply transformative effects of feminism on both twentieth-century America and the post-conciliar church, and explores how a Gospel-informed feminism can offer a new vision of humanity, church and world for a new century. This 2000 Madeleva lecture will lay the groundwork for a discussion called Convergence 2000 to be held at St. Mary\u27s College the day following the lecture. All previous Madeleva lecturers will meet to collaborate on a Statement for Women in the Twenty-First Century , which is sure to be widely publicized.https://scholarcommons.scu.edu/faculty_books/1277/thumbnail.jp

New Wineskins: Re-Imagining Religious Life Today

NEW WINESKINS draws the biblical, historical, theological, psychological, and experiential foundations of religious life into a remarkably new synthesis that is eminently credible, creative and challenging. Its contribution toward understanding the emergence of differing theologies of religious life is clear and compelling. With great clarity and precision, Sandra Schneiders provides us with the interaction of description, interpretation, and evaluation of the development of religious life over the past 20 years, particularly among women in the US.https://scholarcommons.scu.edu/faculty_books/1279/thumbnail.jp

Prophets in Their Own Country: Women Religious Bearing Witness to the Gospel in a Troubled Church

These reflections, based on a series published in The National Catholic Reporter, were inspired by the Vatican s announcement of an Apostolic Visitation of U.S. Women Religious from 2009-2011. Given the unmistakable imputation of guilt, the launch of this investigation was troubling to many women religious. Schneiders uses this occasion to articulate anew the meaning of Religious Life, the biblical theology underlying it, the reasons for the renewal undertaken after Vatican II, and the forms of apostolic Religious Life that have developed through this renewal. While her introduction tells the story of the investigation and the response it has generated, the following essays offer an eloquent and inspiring assessment and apologia for Religious Life today and in the future. It is a book addressed to all members of the church, calling us to live our faith in a spirit of integrity, freedom, and courage.https://scholarcommons.scu.edu/faculty_books/1150/thumbnail.jp

The Resurrection, Did it really happen and why does that matter?

Did it really happen, and why does it matter? These two questions are at the heart of Sandra M. Schneiders (IHM) talk on the resurrection, presented at the Marymount Institute as the inaugural event in the Mary Milligan Lecture in Spirituality series. Published as an essay in book form by the Marymount Institute Press and Tsehai Publishers, The Resurrection poses a number of questions about the meaning of Easter as a religious holiday. What does it mean to say that Christ is risen? Does it mean that he is immortal, a spirit alive with God somewhere outside of earthly time and pace (which most Christians believe is true of all who die in faith), or did something unique, that has happened to no one else, happen to Jesus on the first Easter? And, if so, what was it, and why is this event unique significant for us? asks Schneiders in her introduction to the book.https://scholarcommons.scu.edu/faculty_books/1271/thumbnail.jp

The Revelatory Text: Interpreting the New Testament as Sacred Scripture

In this new edition of her major study of the New Testament, Sandra Schneiders proposes a comprehensive hermeneutical theory for New Testament interpretation, which takes full account of the Bible as both sacred Scripture and as a historical-literary classic. Designed to spur reflection on the role of Scripture as revelatory text in the life of the Church and in the lives of individual believers, The Revelatory Text shows that an integral hermeneutical theory can ground a transformational hermeneutical praxis to make the biblical text available as a faith resource to the oppressed as well as to the privileged. Schneiders investigates the meaning of the theological claim that the Bible is the Word of God and the Church\u27s book, along with the implications of these claims for biblical interpretation. She then examines the historical, literary, and religious-spiritual dimensions of the New Testament, highlighting the implications for interpretation theory and methodology, and concludes by putting her theory to the test in a feminist interpretation of John 4. The author argues that the comprehensive object of biblical interpretation is not merely information but transformation. She suggests that an adequate hermeneutical theory must include a wide range of exegetical and critical methods within a theologically and philosophically adequate understanding of Scripture as sacred text. She writes specifically to educated believers who wonder how sound biblical criticism can be incorporated into a faith- filled reading of the New Testament; biblical scholars who struggle with the question of whether or how faith can function legitimately in biblical scholarship; and those whose task it is to teach and preach the faith that looks to the New Testament as source and norm. Chapters are The Problem and Project of New Testament Interpretation, The New Testament as Word of God, The New Testament as the Church\u27s Book, The World Behind the Test: History, Imagination, and the Revelatory Text, The World of the Text: Witness, Language, and the Revelatory Text, The World Before the Text: Meaning, Appropriation, and the Revelatory Text, and A Case Study: Feminist Interpretation of John 4:1- 42.https://scholarcommons.scu.edu/faculty_books/1278/thumbnail.jp
