GEORGIAN NATIONAL CENTER OF MANUSCRIPTS IN TBILISI


 22 Aug 2022 : 21:41
 None    Events

June 28-30, 2023

In 2023 one of the most important schools of Georgian literature and culture studies – the National Center of Manuscripts in Tbilisi will celebrate its 65th anniversary. In 2023 the Georgian monastery of Iviron on Mount Athos will turn 1040 years old.

For the National Center of Manuscripts, the coincidence of these two dates has a special and symbolic meaning. This is because the spiritual and intellectual values pursued at the Iviron Literary Centre are close to the scholarly principles that guided the founders of the National Center of Manuscripts. To celebrate these two dates, the National Center of Manuscripts is organizing an international scientific conference – “Georgian Manuscript Heritage” – to take place on June 28-30, 2023.

“Understanding the Bible from the Liturgy”


 15 May 2022 : 22:00
 None    Archive

Summer School in Trier, Germany

May 16 - July 1, 2022

Professors: Dr. Marco Benini (liturgy, Trier; taught 6 semesters at CUA), with some classes by Dr. Stefanos Alexopoulos (liturgy, CUA), Dr. Hans-Georg Gradl (NT, Trier), and Dr. Carolin Neuber (OT, Trier)

"Sacred Scripture is of the greatest importance in the celebration of the liturgy." (SC 24). The Bible shapes the liturgy like no other book: OT and NT readings are intertextually combined. Psalms are often specifically chosen. Prayers and hymns are biblically permeated. Liturgical actions and symbols (e.g., the washing of feet on Holy Thursday, baptismal rites, etc.) are inspired by sacred Scripture. At the same time, the liturgy interprets sacred Scripture and makes the Bible, a written echo of the revelation, to the living Word of God, whom we encounter in the liturgy. The reception of Scripture (e.g., according to the literary reception theory) is part of the active participation in the liturgy.
