Centripetal Joyce / Joyce Centrifugal /
:
In Dublin in June 2022, a symposium of scholars celebrated the centenary of the original publication of Joyce's Ulysses . This volume, a gathering of selected papers presented at that event, displays how vibrant and varied are the avenues of inquiry and research into Joyce's works today. From orality to elegy, contemplating comparisons with artists as different as Ovid, Derek Walcot, and John Cage, these essays project inward (centripetally) and outward (centrifugally) to examine the receptions of Joyce's works, their legacies, and the possible futures of Joyce studies.

Strangers and pilgrims on earth : essays in honour of Abraham van de Beek /
:
The title Strangers and Pilgrims on Earth (Hebrews 11:13) captures well the eschatological nature of the christology which has become so central in the theological enterprise of Prof. dr. Abraham van de Beek. At the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday in October 2011, many of his former colleagues and students honour him in this Festschrift with a contribution to one of the themes that have been central to his theology: christology, theology of Israel, eschatology, theology of the church, creation theology, and freedom of religion. The volume opens with an article providing an overview of his theological development, one probing his deepest theological intentions, and with an up to date bibliography. Contributors include: Martien Brinkman, Johan Buitendag, Jaesung Cha, Pieter Coertzen, Ernst Conradie, Gerrit de Kruijf, Bert de Leede, Adelbert Denaux, Gerard den Hertog, Rene de Reuver, Henk de Roest, Andre Drost, Szilveszter Füsti-Molnár, Harm Goris, Botond Gudor, John Hesselink, Jan Hoek, Gerrit Immink, Allan Janssen, Tamás Juhász, Nico Koopman, Daniel Migliore, ChristIan Mostert, István Pásztori-Kupán, Christoff Pauw, Arjan Plaisier, Ad Prosman, Bernhard Reitsma, Riemer Roukema, Frank Sawyer, Alan Sell, Matthias Smalbrugge, Gerrit Singgih, Dirkie Smit, Adrianus Cardinal Simonis, Ferenc Szűcs, Eep Talstra, Wessel ten Boom, Johann Theron, Jacob van Beelen, Henk van den Belt, Gijsbert van den Brink, Leon van den Broeke, Eduardus Van der Borght, Kees van der Kooi, Paul van Geest, Sjaak van 't Kruis, Willem van Vlastuin, Amie van Wyk, Danie Veldsman, Rian Venter, Wim Verboom, Koos Vorster, Nico Vorster, Robert Vosloo, Henk Vroom, Paul Wells.

The spirit is moving : new pathways in pneumatology : studies presented to Professor Cornelis van der Kooi on the occasion of his retirement /
:
The work of the Spirit of God is a vibrant and much discussed topic in many contemporary Christian communities worldwide. Apparently, the Spirit is moving. Theological reflection on this phenomenon has even given rise to what is often called a 'pneumatological renaissance'. This volume not only takes stock of these remarkable developments, but also probes some of their hidden aspects and highlights avenues for future exploration. It contains a wide-ranging but coherent assortment of essays, covering the five relations of the Holy Ghost distinguished already in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed: how does the Spirit of God relate to the Bible, to the Christ, to the human person, to the church and to the world? These essays are written as a tribute to the many inspiring theological contributions of prof. Cornelis van der Kooi on the occasion of his retirement as Professor of Systematic Theology at the Faculty of Religion and Theology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where he taught from 1992 until 2018. Contributors are: Henk A. Bakker, Abraham van de Beek, Erik A. de Boer, Carl J. Bosma, Gijsbert van den Brink, Martien E. Brinkman, Gerard C. den Hertog, Arnold Huijgen, Gerrit C. van de Kamp, Miranda Klaver, Akke van der Kooi, Margriet van der Kooi-Dijkstra, Bruce L. McCormack, Richard J. Mouw, Bert Jan Lietaert Peerbolte, Eveline van Staalduine-Sulman, Eep Talstra, Benno van den Toren, Jan Veenhof, Willem van Vlastuin, Pieter Vos, Michael Welker, Cory Willson, Maarten Wisse.

Sinicizing Christianity /
:
Chinese people have been instrumental in indigenizing Christianity. Sinizing Christianity examines Christianity's transplantation to and transformation in China by focusing on three key elements: Chinese agents of introduction; Chinese redefinition of Christianity for the local context; and Chinese institutions and practices that emerged and enabled indigenisation. As a matter of fact, Christianity is not an exception, but just one of many foreign ideas and religions, which China has absorbed since the formation of the Middle Kingdom, Buddhism and Islam are great examples. Few scholars of China have analysed and synthesised the process to determine whether there is a pattern to the ways in which Chinese people have redefined foreign imports for local use and what insight Christianity has to offer. Contributors are: Robert Entenmann, Christopher Sneller, Yuqin Huang, Wai Luen Kwok, Thomas Harvey, Monica Romano, Thomas Coomans, Chris White, Dennis Ng, Ruiwen Chen and Richard Madsen.

Jewish education from Antiquity to the Middle Ages : studies in honour of Philip S. Alexander /
:
In Jewish Education from Antiquity to the Middle Ages fifteen scholars offer specialist studies on Jewish education from the areas of their expertise. This tightly themed volume in honour of Philip S. Alexander has some essays that look at individual manuscripts, some that consider larger literary corpora, and some that are more thematically organised. Jewish education has been addressed largely as a matter of the study house, the bet midrash. Here a richer range of texts and themes discloses a wide variety of activity in several spheres of Jewish life. In addition, some notable non-Jewish sources provide a wider context for the discourse than is often the case.

The Comparative Poetics of Homeric Literary Imitation from Antiquity to Renaissance France : Aphrodite's Charm /
:
Aphrodite's famous ribbon known as the cestus , the irresistible love charm that she loaned to Hera in the Iliad, was, thanks to a fruitful early misreading, transformed by ancient, medieval, and Renaissance authors into a symbol of honorable feminine chastity: in Maurice Scève's 1560 Microcosme , an epic rewriting of Genesis, Eve first appears before an astonished Adam wearing the virginal cestus as a symbolic guarantee of her sexual innocence. This book traces the history of this curious development from Homer to the end of the sixteenth century in France. Through analyses of both famous and little-known texts, it illustrates the complexity and fecund liberty of Homeric reception.

Het Proces Sneevliet 1917 /
:
Het artikel 'zegepraal', een jubelkreet over de Russische Februarirevolutie in het dagblad De Indiër in maart 1917 van Henk Sneevliet, voorman van de kleine groep linkse socialisten in Nederlands-Indië, leidde tot het eerste grote openbare politieke proces in de kolonie. De officier van justitie te Semarang achtte Sneevliets artikel opruiend op grond van de 'haatzaaiartikelen'uit het Wetboek van Strafrecht voor Europeanen em daagde Sneevliet voor het gerecht. De conservatieve Hollandse gemeenschap hoopte dat er eindelijk met de socialistische 'opruier'en revolutionair zou worden afgerekend. Het proces in november 1917 duurde vier dagen. Sneevliet voerde zelf zijn verdediging en hield een urenlang betoog tegen het Nederlandse koloniaal bestel. Hij werd schuldig bevonden, maar hiervoor echter niet strafbaar gesteld. Sneevliet werd ontslagen van rechtsvervolging. In december volgde echter, ook door de druk van de reactionaire pers, externering uit Nederlands-Indië vanwege zijn revolutionaire activiteiten. De overvloedig gedocumenteerde verdedigingsrede en het verslag van de procesgang werden door A. Baars en Sneevliet in januari 1918 gepubliceerd in een door henzelf beperkte oplage uitgegeven boek Het proces Sneevliet: De Sociaal-Democratie in Nederlandsch Indië . Deze unieke bron, waarvan slechts enkele bibliotheken een exemplaar bezitten, is in facsimilé herdrukt en door Fritjof Tichelman van een uitgebreide inleiding voorzien.

Jef Last : Liedjes op de maat van de Rottan /
:
Jef Last (1898-1972), rond 1930 voorman van de proletarisch-revolutionaire literatuur in Nederland, schreef van 1927 tot 1934 een dertigtal gedichten waarin hij op de scherpst mogelijke wijze van leer trok tegen het Nederlandse imperialisme in Nederlands-Indië. Hij werd daarbij vooral geïnspireerd door de vervolging van de Indonesische communisten na de opstanden van 1936-1927, die gepaard ging met executies en massa internering in de Boven-Digoel, diep in het onherbergzame Nieuw-Guinea. Ook poogde hij de Nederlandse arbeiders te mobiliseren en hekelde hij de opstelling van de grote sociaal-democratische SDAP. Zowel naar aard als inhoud is deze poëzie, die in obscure bundeltjes en verspreide linkse periodieken verscheen, opmerkelijk. In een inleiding worden de grillige politieke omzwervingen-van SDAP via Trotzkistische bewegingen nar de Communistische Partij-van Jef Last in deze jaren beschreven, zijn poëtisch genre geanalyseerd en zijn plaats in de 'Indische poëzie' bepaald. Zo wort een marginaal, maar boeiend stukje literaire, politieke en Indische historie aan de onverdiende vergetelheid ontrukt en vastgelegd. De historicus dr. Harry Poeze (1947), hoofd van de KITLV Uitgeverij, verzamelde deze poëzie en schreef de inleiding.
