Taking into consideration the number of times God appears in Phil 2:5/6-11, compared with Christ – 4 to 2, one wonders why Phil 2:5/6-11 is called “Carmen Christi.” Also, a clear theology becomes very manifest, when one looks at the whole letter, and a neglected monotheism gapes past scholarly commentaries on Philippians. The “Fatherhood” of God towards humanity extends to Jesus as well, while alluding to a monotheistic creed in Phil 2:11.

In his salutation in Romans, Paul inserts two verses, 1:3-4, explaining the message of the gospel with unusual expressions. The meaning of this passage has been hotly debated for centuries. In 1976, biblical scholar Martin Hengel wrote that “in recent years, more has been written about this text than about any other New Testament text.” A crucial point of the debate has been the origin of the verses, namely: To what extent is Rom. 1:3-4 from a pre-Pauline tradition? In this paper, we examine the evidence that Paul draws on an existing creedal formula and propose a hypothesis for delineating the pre-Pauline and Pauline material. As we proceed, we seek to discern what our analysis might reveal about how Christians' understanding of their faith developed in the earliest decades of Christianity.

This article seeks to relate two stories from the field of Historical Jesus Research. The first story tells how the thought of Bernard Lonergan was brought by the work of Ben F. Meyer to influence the work of key figures in Historical Jesus Research (notably J.D.G. Dunn and N.T. Wright –and less directly E.P. Sanders). The second story is that of the redefinition of Historical Jesus Research that is ongoing today in the work of newer scholars (for example, Chris Keith, Jens Schröter, Anthony LeDonne), seeking to surmount the mechanical, over-sceptical criteriology of post-war scholarship and embracing new studies in personal cognition, religious experience and the collective processes of social memory. I ask whether this second story should become a new moment for Lonergan's thought to exercise a positive influence on New Testament Studies.

On June 15th, 1934, interns at Montreal’s Notre Dame Hospital initiated Canada’s first medical strike in protest of the appointment of Dr. Samuel Rabinovitch, a French-speaking Jewish graduate of Université de Montréal, as chief intern. By June 16th, the strike had spread to 75 more interns from Hôpital de la Miséricorde, Sainte-Justine, Hôtel-Dieu, and St. Jean-de-Dieu. The strike was purely antisemitic, targeting the first Jewish physician appointed to a staff position at a Catholic hospital. By situating the strike within its social context, Rabinovitch’s story exemplifies medicine’s history of systemic racism and highlights the contradiction between these practices and the medical principle of “do no harm.” Our aim is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between Montreal’s medical history and antisemitism in the first half of the twentieth century. We conclude that the strike reinforces the historical basis of promoting racial diversity and inclusion in medical education.

Dans la seconde moitié du XIIe siècle, une redéfinition du paysage littéraire s’effectue au moment même d’un grand essor économique que les historiens appellent la « révolution commerciale du XIIIe siècle » (1160-1330). Ce contexte culturel et social semble permettre l’émergence de nombreuses formes narratives de langue vernaculaire caractérisées par la brièveté (contes exemplaires, dits, fables, fabliaux, lais et miracles), dont la plupart ne survivront pas à la fin de cette période. Partant de cette observation, cette thèse examine les liens qui unissent les récits brefs aux discours commerciaux. Elle propose que les formes littéraires caractérisées par une économie du vers ont non seulement été un véhicule de choix pour transmettre et problématiser les idées marchandes, mais qu’elles se sont aussi instituées sur leur capacité …
