Peer-review declarationThe publisher (AOSIS) endorses the South African 'National Scholarly Book Publishers Forum Best Practice for Peer-Review of Scholarly Books'. The book proposal form was evaluated by our Theological and Religious Studies editorial board. The manuscript underwent an evaluation to compare the level of originality with other published works and was subjected to rigorous two-step peer-review before publication by two technical expert reviewers, who did not include the editor(s) and author(s) and were independent of the editor(s) and author(s), with the identities of the reviewers not revealed to the editor(s) or author(s). The reviewers were independent of the publisher, editor(s) and author(s). The publisher shared feedback on the similarity report and the reviewers' inputs with the manuscript's editor(s) or author(s) to improve the manuscript. Where the reviewers recommended revision and improvements, the editor(s) or author(s) responded adequately to such recommendations. The reviewers commented positively on the scholarly merits of the manuscript and recommended that the book be published. v Research justificationThe Belgic Confession ( 1561) is one of the oldest Reformed confessions and is adopted by many churches in the Reformed tradition around the world. Not much, however, has recently been published on the Belgic Confession as a whole -especially regarding its contemporary relevance. This publication aims to fill this gap.The publication groups the 37 articles of the Belgic Confession together in order to cover the whole of the confession in 12 chapters (alongside an introductory chapter). The emphasis of the publication is on two aspects:(1) providing a scope of contemporary theological, ethical and general issues and possible controversies regarding the content of the Belgic Confession; and (2) formulating ethical perspectives and guidelines from the Belgic Confession that may assist in the building of societies. Where applicable, chapters also discuss the history of the text of the Belgic Confession, the organic unity between the articles of the Belgic Confession, a dogma-historical perspective on the development of the doctrine and content of the Belgic Confession and the relationship between the Belgic Confession and other confessions. The emphasis throughout, however, falls on investigating the contemporary relevance of the Belgic Confession.The various chapters of this volume are written by scholars who are experts in their fields. As such, this volume represents scholarly discourse for scholars. All chapters are original investigations with original results and were cleared of possible plagiarism by using iThenticate. No part of this work has been plagiarised. The findings of this investigation should be beneficial for today's Reformed community around the world. The target audience is specialists in the field of dogma-history and systematic theology.

Pindar's Poetics of Immortality

Sigelman

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Modern scholarship tends to focus on the social, political and economic information that can be gleaned from Pindar's treatment of the subject of his victory odes - the athlete who brings immortality to his family and polis. In this book, Asya C. Sigelman offers a new approach to the odes, exploring the fact that Pindar's language and imagery suggest that the athlete's victory is only a weaker version of the poet's immortalizing feat. Examining several central Pindaric images, Sigelman shows that they are fundamentally reflexive, structured as expressions of poetic creativity engaged in a perpetual synthesis of intra-poetic time - of the unity of the past, present and future of the world of Pindar's song. As the book's case studies of several of the odes demonstrate, this synthesis is key to Pindar's notion of immortalization and constitutes the central poetic subject of Pindar's song which underlies and informs its praise of the victorious athlete.

Showing Praise in Greek Choral Lyric and Beyond

In this article I examine several passages in Greek choral lyric where the verb δείκνυμι is construed with a direct object meaning “song” or “hymn” and show that this usage finds an exact parallel in the Rigveda, where the cognate root diś- is likewise employed with “song (of praise)” as its object. Greekδεῖξαι ὕμνον, μέλος, etc., “to show forth song (of praise),” is thus argued to be an archaism of the melic poetry that goes back to the Indo-European poetic language. The use of Latin dīcō of reciting verse ( dīcere carmen ) or singing praise ( dīcere laudēs ) in Augustan poets may continue the same inherited phraseology. Finally, based on these results I argue that the long problematic epithet ἀριδείκετος contains the root of δείκνυμι (and not of δέκομαι) and should be interpreted as “famous, well worth singing of, well worth praising (in song).”
