reflects the diverse teaching and research interests of the Section des
Sciences Religieuses. The approach is secular and pluralist with a
comparative interest in religious phenomena; accordingly a huge range of
religions and cultural areas are studies; as well as a wide range of
disciplines employed (literature, archaeology, history, law, philosophy,
anthropology and sociology) |

Christian words, vocabulary and thought. |
| Editorial responsibility:
International Association of Manichaean Studies (contact: A. Van
Tongerloo) |
|
| Editorial responsibility: C. Lévy |
| This series started in 1997 and gathers
theses, monographs and miscellaneous volumes. The studies deal, at least
partially, with authors from different periods and different cultural
contexts who engage critically with Revelation and are anchored in the
philosophical tradition through their education and conceptual
world. (Studying such texts offers the opportunity to examine the
fruitful and conflicting relationships that existed and still exist
between philosphy and monotheistic belief-systems). The series want
to throw light on the problems that arise when the universalities
proposed by philosophy come face-to-face with those of monotheistic religions. Without denying the specific
nature of religious phenomena, or reducing philosophy to merely one
universal system among many, the goal is to explore rigorously texts
that are rich but have been relatively neglected in scholarship up to
this point. |
| Editorial responsibility: Institut
Pontifical Oriental de Rome |
|
The Patrologia Syriaca was started in 1897 with the
aim of publishing a collection that would contain Oriental texts, edited
in the original tongues with a translation into Latin or a modern, Western
language. It was discontinued in its original form and replaced by the Patrologia
Orientalis starting from unpublished texts in Arabic, Armenian,
Coptic, Ethiopian, Greek, Georgian, Slavonic, Syriac.
The collection began with those liturgical texts that
touch on hagiography. Since then critical editions of the Bible,
theological works, homilies and letters have been published.

d'Analyse des Rhétoriques Religieuses de l'Antiquité (Strasbourg)
(contact: Gérard Freyburger and Laurent Pernot) |
| This series explores the intersection of
rhetorical studies and religious studies. It studies language in its
relationship with the holy, the means of expression used to address
divinities, different ways of expressing one's awareness of the divine and
the feelings it elicits. The central subject-matter is Greco-Roman
Antiquity. |
