  • Christians Without Christianity

    Manfred WeidhornARTICLEJournal of Religion, Spirituality…2015

    Old age sometimes brings loss of faith or renewed faith. In the case of three giants of European culture—Milton, Kierkegaard, Tolstoy—it brought both: They turned against institutional religion, but in the name of God and Bible. Brief outlines indicate how they reach this position. They differed crucially on who was Jesus and on what is the Bible. They agree, however, that the Church downplays the difficulty of being a Christian, seeks power, all…

  • The Church and Galileo

    Manfred WeidhornARTICLESixteenth Century Journal2006

    This collection of first-rate essays provides an accurate, scholarly assessment of the relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and Galileo. In 1981, Pope John Paul II established a commission to inquire into the Church's treatment of Galileo loyal recognition of wrongs, from whatever side they came, hoping this way to dispel the mistrust...between science and faith.

  • Shakespeare's Tragic Skepticism

    Manfred WeidhornARTICLESixteenth Century Journal2004

    Readers of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies have long noted the absence of readily explainable motivations for some of Shakespeare's greatest characters: Why does Hamlet delay his revenge for so long? Why does King Lear choose to renounce his power? Why is Othello so vulnerable to Iago's malice? While many critics have chosen to overlook these omissions or explain them away, this book demonstrates that they are essential elements of Shakespeare's…

  • Churchill the phrase forger

    Manfred WeidhornARTICLEQuarterly Journal of Speech1972Referencias: 1

    The famous phrases that adorn Churchill's speeches during the climactic phase of his career, 1938–1942, are not novel coinages. Some he borrowed from other politicians or writers; many are recurring ideas and locutions of his own, of which he gave polished, definitive versions at a critical juncture

  • Dreams and Guilt

    Open AccessManfred WeidhornARTICLEHarvard Theological Review1965

    When, in the fifth book of Paradise Lost, Eve reveals her unsettling dream, in which she saw herself eating the forbidden fruit at the prompting of a mysterious stranger, Adam dismisses it as an experience of no importance. Since her will was not involved, he believes, she incurred no guilt. His argument that the dream is without significance persuades her but not us, who have beheld Satan, during the couple's sleep, causing the dream in Eve in o…
