The Josephina , an epic poem of almost 3,000 hexameters, was composed by Jean Gerson, Chancellor of the University of Paris, between 1414 and 1417, mainly during the Council of Constance. Written at a time of great political and ecclesiastical turmoil, …

If Mary hardly occupies a place in Calvin's theology, unlike Luther's, Joseph is even less present. In his Treatise on Relics (1543), Calvin first mocks the sock-relics found in some churches, but he makes room for Jesus' earthly father when he comments …

Long before he became a reference point for fathers and craftsmen, even before his sanctity was fully recognized, Joseph was of interest to a number of churchmen, theologians and religious, who found in him a figure to inspire their way of life and …

Chair: Olivier Boulnois, École pratique des hautes études For the Bishop of Hippo, Joseph was less a subject of interest than a source of problems. Sermon 51, delivered in Carthage in 403/404, is the only major synthesis of Augustine's writings on the …

From the mid-12th to the mid-13th century, before the great systematic translations of the Bible, biblical or hagiographic poems in French flourished, in which the figure of Joseph appears in connection with that of Mary. The most remarkably amplified …

This paper will examine the way in which Joseph is depicted in Coptic literature. Emphasis will be placed on the History of Joseph the Carpenter, an apocryphal writing extant in Coptic (Sahidic and Bohairic dialects) and Arabic. The text allegedly …

The paper (in English) will consider what we can reasonably know about Joseph as a historical person. Topics discussed will include (1) family background (a Davidic family), (2) connexion with Bethlehem and the family's settlement in Nazareth, (3) …

Although the figure of Joseph does not figure prominently in the New Testament or in patristic literature, it nonetheless attracted the attention of early Christians. As early as the 2nd century, the story known as the Protevangile of James, which …

Nick Barton's research centers on the evolution of populations that are distributed through space, and that experience natural selection on many genes. These interests grew from field work on the narrow hybrid zones that separate divergent taxa, including …

Claudia Bank's research group at the Gulbenkian Institute in Oeiras, Portugal, invokes evolutionary theory to quantify the interaction of evolutionary forces across levels of biological organization and across environments. Combining theoretical work with …
