The concept of special divine action –namely, that God acts in special ways at particular times and places in history- is one of the most fundamental presuppositions of the Christian faith. It is presumed in a wide range of beliefs on such matters as special revelation, incarnation, resurrection, petitionary prayer, particular providence and miracles. Yet it has come under serious criticism in recent times, especially with the rise of the natural sciences. This study examines the coherence and credibility of the concept as it emerges from the philosophical and theological debates of the last thirty years.

Paul Gwynne,1957, joined the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate and was ordained a priest in 1981. After several years of ministry in secondary education and in Indonesia, he took up further studies and completed his Doctorate in Theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University.

The aim of evangelisation is to enthrone Christ as the centre of humanity by presenting Him as eternally young and this has characterized the whole of Christian history. The changing times call for a more timely proclamation of this saving message. This work intends to stress new structures and methods as well as a change of mentality among those who have accepted Christ to be God Incarnate, a prerequisite for the success of this mission. The author feels the need to indicate timely pastoral orientations before the beginning of the Third Millennium of evangelisation in general and the second century evangelisation in Africa in particular. The Magisterium, in the person of Pope John Paul II, designates this a priority and “a life and death campaign”.

Agapit J. Mroso, after his initial studies in Tanzania, he was awarded a scholarship for further studies in Rome in 1990. He received a Master’s Degree in 1992 (Dogmatic theology) and a Doctorate in 1995, both from the Gregorian University. He also holds a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Theology from the Angelicum (St. Thomas Aquinas) University (1993).

In the postconciliar period, among the scholars who articulated the urgent need to restore pneumatology to its rightful place in the theology of Catholic Church was Cardinal Yves Congar. This book centers on one aspect of this theme in which his influence is particularly evident, namely, the constitutive role of the Holy Spirit in effecting the sacraments of the Church. Through a careful analysis of the texts of Congar which explicitly treat the sacramental epiclesis, the author claims that the solemn invocation of the Holy Spirit is as constitutive of the sacraments of the Church as is the formal recitation of the words of Jesus Christ.

Isaac Kizhakkeparampil,1959, joined the Syro-Malankara Catholic Diocese of Thiruvalla and took his secular degrees from the University of Kerala, and the ecclesiastical degrees from the Jnana-Deepa Vidyapeeth, Pune, and the Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome.

Esta pesquisa responde a questão sobre a existência de uma teologia sacramentária que se possa dizer latino-americana e qual a sua peculiaridade. Dois aspectos se destacam como baliza. O primeiro, referente ao sacramento-raiz: quais os elementos próprios da sacramentalidade da Igreja na América Latina. O segundo, que relação os sacramentos passam a ter com a nova forma eclesial. A pesquisa trabalha os pressupostos sobre os quais se constrói a teologia latino-americana da libertação, sendo seu centro de convergência o Reino do Deus. Nos sacramentos se refletem a nova forma de ser Igreja e as exigências da vida de fé, como práxis da libertação.

The testamentary character of 2 Timothy has long been recognised by its readers. But the allusion to the rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abraham (2 Tim 2,19) and the mention of Jannes and Jambres (2 Tim 3,8) introduce into the letter direct references to the figure of Moses. In addition to the biblical narratives, this study examines four other works which include what purport to be Moses’ last will and testament: the Vita Mosis of Philo, the Jewish  Antiquities of Josephus and the anonymous works Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum and the Testament of Moses. This study contends that these legends about the last words of Moses constitute the best way to evaluate the portrait of Paul in 2 Timothy, and that Paul is presented in 2 Timothy as a «prophet like Moses».

A l’approche du troisième millénaire, la sotériologie, pas plus que les autres domaines de la théologie, ne peut être l’objet d’une simple possession tranquille. Et la réflexion théologique qui s’impose comme un devoir ne relève pas des corrections de détail mas plutôt des grande refontes. F.-X. Durrwell aura apporté une contribution majeure à cette tâche par sa sotériologie trinitaire centrée sur le mystère pascal. La présente étude analyse le contenu du thème de la « rédemption objective » de Durrwell, en prêtant grande attention à l’évolution de la pensée de l’auteur. Elle en dégage ensuite les axes majeurs et propose une critique portant particulièrement sur la question du rapport entre la mort de Jésus et le péché des hommes.

Jules Mimeault, 1959, fut ordonné prêtre en 1989 dans la Congrégation du Très-Saint Rédempteur, après avoir obtenu le grade de M.A. en théologie de l’Université Laval (Québec). Après un an de ministère paroissial à Montréal (Québec), il continua ses études à l’Université Grégorienne (Rome) où il obtint pour la présente thèse le grade de Docteur en Sacrée Théologie.

In der vorliegenden Untersuchung soll im Schriftwerk Hans Urs von Balthasar der Entwicklung und Deutung seiner Eschatologie nachgegangen werden. Dabei zeigt sich, daß in dem untersuchten Zeitraum von 1930-1988 unterschiedliche Begriffe von «Eschatologie» verwandt wurden, wobei sich jedoch in den letzten Jahrzehnten nach und nach eine Gestalt mit einem einheitlichen und charakteristischen Profil zu zeigen beginnt, die es in der «Trilogie» schließlich erlaubt, von der Eschatologie Balthasar zu sprechen. Diese Eschatologie wird jedoch ihr eigenes Profil erst dann zeigen können, wenn in ihr notwendige Verbindungen zur Protologie, Christologie, Soteriologie und einer dies alles erst bedingenden Trinitäts-Theologie aufgewiesen werden.

Robert Nandkisore, 1965, geboren und ist Priester der Diözese Limburg. Nach seinem Vordiplom in Theologie und dem Bakkalaureat in Philosophie an der Phil.-Theol.-Hochschule St. Georgen in Frankfurt/M studierte er Theologie an der Päpstlichen Universität Gregoriana in Rom. Hier schloß er dem Bakkalaureat eine Lizenz und die Promotion in Dogmatik an.

Notre projet de recherche consiste en un développement articulé entre la problématique de la réincarnation et celle de la divinisation de l’homme. Notre étude veut suggérer que dans la plupart des systèmes religieux ou philosophiques faisant référence à la réincarnation, celle-ci doit être entendue comme étant une expression de la divinisation de l’homme. Dans un second temps nous avons tenté d’établir les limites théologiques de la vocation sublime de l’homme appelé à devenir Dieu au cours d’une même et unique vie, cette vie ici-bas qui prépare notre vie au-delà.  La dynamique de notre exposé se fonde sur la perspective d’un être qui doit «mourir pour renaître», mais dans le Christ qui nous obtient d’en-haut cette régénération, celle de l’Esprit.
