Book Description
Partiendo de las vivencias extáticas que Teresa de Ávila (1515-1582) explica, y usando categorías de análisis histórico, la autora analiza con máximo rigor sus experiencias místicas y visionarias. Examina de qué modo y bajo qué señales corporales y mentales ciertos sentimientos y pensamientos podían ser considerados sobrenaturales en la época. Explora su experiencia visionaria y el modo en que fue juzgada en su tiempo, así como las implicaciones epistemológicas del engarce de ese sentirse conectada al mundo sobrenatural éxtasis y visiones con su vida interior considerada como propia y natural. Mónica Balltondre cuestiona, así, la sexualización que la visión contemporánea ha atribuido a las experiencias místicas sobre todo, femeninas, en tanto que aborda otra de las dimensiones de la figura: el proyecto de dirección espiritual que Teresa de Ávila propuso para regular sus comunidades.
Saints and Signs
Author: Massimo Leone
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110229528
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 665
Book Description
Saints and Signs analyzes a corpus of hagiographies, paintings, and other materials related to four of the most prominent saints of early modern Catholicism: Ignatius of Loyola, Philip Neri, Francis Xavier, and Therese of Avila. Verbal and visual documents – produced between the end of the Council of Trent (1563) and the beginning of the pontificate of Urban VIII (1623) – are placed in their historical context and analyzed through semiotics – the discipline that studies signification and communication – in order to answer the following questions: How did these four saints become signs of the renewal of Catholic spirituality after the Reformation? How did their verbal and visual representations promote new Catholic models of religious conversion? How did this huge effort of spiritual propaganda change the modern idea of communication? The book is divided into four sections, focusing on the four saints and on the particular topics related to their hagiologic identity: early modern theological debates on grace (Ignatius of Loyola); cultural contaminations between Catholic internal and external missions (Philip Neri); the Christian identity in relation to non-Christian territories (Francis Xavier); the status of women in early modern Catholicism (Therese of Avila).

Deus Est Caritas: The Voice of Gabriele Biondo on Personal Justification and Church Reform
Author: Vito Guida
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031363396
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
The book examines the life and the writings of Gabriele Biondo, a secular priest who lived in the little town of Modigliana between the second half of the fifteenth century and the first decades of the sixteenth century. Through a careful examination of his writings and the sources he used, this book allows the reader to obtain a more precise understanding of Biondo, his background, his life, his movements, the difficulties that he encountered (mainly with the ecclesiastical authorities and the other members of the clergy, but also with civic leaders), and the main events of his life. Additionally, Biondo was the leader of a minor following formed by nuns, secular women, and laymen. Therefore, this book illustrates Biondo’s pastoral activity, the ideas and principles that supported his actions, and the objectives he was pursuing. Given these various objectives, this book is of interest to those scholars and academics interested in the religious tensions that swept through Europe in the years immediately preceding the Protestant Reformation and who, consequently, seek to investigate Biondo’s personal and complex answer to these tensions.
