A fragment of a book dedicated by Aristobulus to king Philometor is often mentioned by scholars to prove the existence of a legend of the translation of the Torah into Greek in the time of king Philadelphus. This fragment is transmitted in two different ways by Clement of Alexandria (Stromata 1,150,1-3) and Eusebius of Caesarea (Praeparatio Evangelica XIII, 12,1-2). It actually does not refer to a word to word translation of the law of the Jews as can be read in the Septuagint, but more probably to the description of the Jewish institutions by Hecataeus of Abdera, which was the source of Diodorus Siculus's Excursus on the Jews, copied by Photius in his Library (codex 244). Therefore the second sentence in Eusebius' version must be considered as an interpolation.

Relying on sources found in several archives (in particular those of cardinal L.J. Suenens, the papers of the Belgian Episcopal conference, and the archive of MP G. Philips) this article studies both the way in which cardinal Suenens and the Belgian Hierarchy react to the encyclical Humanae Vitae. This "Statement" was particularly important given that it was one of the earliest (along with the Declaration of the German episcopate) reactions issued by an Episcopal conference, rendering the text into a model for other episcopates to rely on. Given that its principal author was M gr Philips - known as the key redactor of Vatican II's Lumen Gentium -, the document was characterised by its high standard dogmatic and ecclesiological content. After a short sketch of the role played by Suenens on the issue of Birth Control in the period between 1958 and 1968 (a.o. in the Pontifical Commission for Birth Control), Suenens's initial reactions to the encyclical, as well as his contacts on the matter with other cardinals, are carefully examined. Subsequently, we offer a detailed account of the laborious redaction of the "Statement of the Belgian Hierarchy". And finally we study the repercussions of this document in Belgium, and also in various "Roman" circles and on the international scene.
本文依靠在几个档案中发现的资料(特别是红衣主教L.J. Suenens的档案、比利时主教团会议的文件和MP G. Philips的档案),研究红衣主教Suenens和比利时教廷对《人的生命》通谕的反应方式。这个“声明”特别重要,因为它是主教会议最早发布的反应之一(与德国主教宣言一起),将文本呈现为其他主教可以依赖的模型。考虑到它的主要作者是菲利普先生,他是梵蒂冈第二次会议的主要编纂者,这份文件的特点是其高标准的教义和教会内容。在简要介绍了1958年至1968年期间,Suenens在控制生育问题上所扮演的角色(《宗座控制生育委员会》a.o.)之后,我们仔细研究了Suenens对通谕的最初反应,以及他在这个问题上与其他枢机主教的接触。随后,我们提供了“比利时等级声明”的费力修订的详细说明。最后,我们研究了这份文件在比利时的影响,以及在各种“罗马”圈子和国际舞台上的影响。

Otherwise than Th. D. Stegman one should not suppose in 2 Corinthians the underlying story of the righteous sufferer depicted in Psalms 114-115 LXX. Paul does not read the quotation of Ps 115,1a in 2 Cor 4,13 christologically, i.e., as a self-testimony of the risen Jesus. Believing in this verse most probably means trusting, not being faithful. Stegman's method overloads the text with more meaning than it can bear.

— The dominant model used by most moral theologians and philosophers to interpret Aquinas’ action theory in the first twenty-one questions of S.T., I-II has been the so-called three sources of morality: object – circumstances – end. This article suggests that such an interpretation is anachronistic, that it ignores Aquinas’ appreciation of the human act as an integral whole (8,3; 12,4), and that it fails to distinguish the multiple meanings of the word “object” in the text. Multiple and close readings of the text, concentrating on every occurrence of the words “object” and “end”, reveal that the focus of Aquinas’ theory is on the end of human (voluntary) action and not on the external act, the object. While the external event may be evaluated according to its natural species, it is the end that plays the primary role in determining the moral species of human action. 1749-08_ETL_2008-4_03_Selling 08-01-2009 16:24 Pagina 407

This article exposes the theological reflections of some contemporary theologians regarding the laity in the Roman Catholic Church. Basing on their contributions, it argues that the laity are disciples and ministers particularly from the point of view that every baptized Christian is called and sent to contribute to the building up of the Church and fulfilling the mission of the Church. By investigating what constitutes the mission of the Church, it establishes that the laity and the clergy, being constitutive members of the Church, partake in one mission but through different ministries. The article, further, examines the inappropriateness of regarding secular character as a special character of the laity and indicates that the way forward is to widen the understanding of secularity. For a more active lay participation, it opts for an integral ecclesiology and maintains that the clergy and the laity, being partners in mission, need to work in collaboration. It also suggests that the ministry of the laity should look at that of Christ as its paradigm.

Most recent studies dealing in Josiah's death have focused on a comparison between the books of Kings and Chronicles. In this study I attempted to answer the theological question of how the author of the Book of Kings explains the death of the righteous king Josiah. My claim is that the Deuteronomist finds fault with Josiah's behaviour before setting out on a war against the King of Egypt. Josiah should have consulted a prophet. When he did not he became vulnerable to the enemy. Josiah is thus included in the list of kings who are criticized for acting independently, without consulting a prophet. These kings' decisions would have been justified from their point of view, but according to the prophets living at that time they led to disaster.

Commentaries on Romans usually gloss over Rom 1,11-12 rapidly. Yet lexical and conceptual parallels with 1 Thess, the presence of vocabulary used mostly in contexts of affliction and suffering, the many references to affliction, suffering, perseverance and hope in Romans and in the OT passages quoted by Paul suggest that these verses may indicate that the letter to the Romans is fulfilling the purpose of Paul's delayed visit, i.e. to encourage the Roman believers to hope in God in the midst of present or upcoming suffering.
