Annotations and Meditations on the Gospels, Volume III: The Resurrection Narratives (review) (original) (raw)
2006, The Catholic Historical Review
AI-generated Abstract
This review discusses Lance Lazar's book 'Working in the Vineyard of the Lord' and its contributions to understanding early modern Catholicism, particularly through the lens of Jesuit institutional history and lay reform activity in Italy. It highlights strengths in the author's analyses of gender dynamics and conversion strategies within Jesuit institutions and relates these themes to Ignatius of Loyola's requests for meditative texts on the Gospels, culminating in a discussion of Walter S. Melion's essay that examines the interplay between historical sights and meditative practice in the visualization of Christ's Resurrection.

Although the Society of Jesus is not mentioned in any of the essays, the volume will be useful to scholars of the early history of the order. Collectively, the essays illuminate some of the unresolved issues the early Jesuits grappled with, such as the role of ascesis in spiritual life, the difficulties of association with charismatic women, and more generally, the uncertain boundaries of orthodoxy in a period of tremendous spiritual ferment.
the cambridge companion to THE GOSPELS
The four gospels are a central part of the Christian canon of scripture. This volume treats the gospels not just as historical sources, but also as crucial testimony to the life of God made known in Jesus Christ. This approach helps to overcome the sometimes damaging split between critical gospel study and questions of theology, ethics and the life of faith. The essays are by acknowledged experts in a range of theological disciplines. The first section considers what are appropriate ways of reading the gospels given the kinds of texts they are. The second, central section covers the contents of the gospels. The third section looks at the impact of the gospels in church and society across history and up to the present day. stephen c. barton is Reader in New Testament in the Department of Theology and Religion, University of Durham, England, and a nonstipendiary minister at St John's Church, Neville's Cross.
