Manetti's Latin treatise Adversus Iudaeos et Gentes (Against the Jews and Gentiles) offers a polemical defense of the Christian religion. This volume, which includes the first four books,surveys human history from the Creation to the life,teaching, and resurrection of Christ. Book I begins with the creation and fall of man in the Biblical account. There follows a long digression adversus gentes (the Gentiles, i.e., pagans), which reviews central points of ancient Greek and Roman philosophy and religion, and censures the ancients for their senseless doctrines and bloody rites. Manetti then returns to the Jews, whose beliefs and practices are praised from Abraham to Moses. During their centuries of "true" piety, Manetti calls the chosen people "Hebrews." But from the time of the Exodus onwards, he censures them as "Jews" because they observe the absurd and cruel practices of Pentateuchal legislation, which he views as analogous to pagan rites. Manetti stresses several themes in Jewish history: the early development of the concept of righteousness, the Exodus, the Mosaic Law and its inadequacy--thus providing a "preparation for the Gospel" in Eusebius' sense. The next three books provide a synoptic biography of Jesus in three stages. Book II describes the life of Christ up to the raising of Lazarus; Book III relates his teaching, and Book IV offers an account of Christ's passion, death, and resurrection.--

The volume contains 320 letters and enclosures from around 30 correspondences. Four major developments dominate his conversations during these three years and lead to new themes: the astronomical, political, and theological aspects of the 1700 Protestant calendar reform; the newly founded Sozietät der Wissenschaften in Berlin; the discussion on Leibniz's differential calculus, and the controversy with Denis Papin concerning dynamics.

In the mid- to late-1930s, while he was a student at the Gregorian University in Rome, Bernard Lonergan wrote a series of eight essays on the philosophy and theology of history. These essays foreshadow a number of the major themes in his life's work. The significance of these essays is enormous, not only for an understanding of the later trajectory of Lonergan's own work but also for the development of a contemporary systematic theology. In an important entry from 1965 in his archival papers, Lonergan wrote that the "mediated object" of systematics is Geschichte or the history that is lived and written about. In the same entry, he stated that the "doctrines" that this systematic theology would attempt to understand are focused on "redemption." The seeds of such a theology are planted in the current volume, where the formulae that are so pronounced in his later work first appear. Students of Lonergan's work will find their understanding of his philosophy profoundly affected by the essays in this volume

Der Sammelband hat den mehrdeutigen Begriff "Logos" zum Thema. Darunter ist das Wort, die Rede, die Vernunft, die Lehre u.a. zu verstehen. Für die Gebildeten in der Antike war dies ein Schlüsselwort für das Verständnis der Wirklichkeit. Die Christen fügten dem Terminus einen christologischen Inhalt hinzu. Die Beiträge zeigen Aspekte der Auseinandersetzung im Bereich der Bildung und der Kultur zwischen den Vertretern der klassischen überlieferung und den gebildeten Christen, welche die Entwicklung der abendländischen Kultur prägen wird
